The new owners are letting us down!

[Silkblade]

Where is the commitment to try and get us back to the Premier League like you said? Only focusing on loans and not permanents? It’s pathetic how we’ve gone from a poor prince to an even poorer set of owners. If you had ambition you’d chuck a load of money at it to get us promoted.

Also we’ve recently bid for Antman a right winger and sources state “The Blades have raised funds to make a bid for the 23 year old after mainly looking at loans this window” What do you mean we have raised funds? So you didn’t have the funds in the first place is that why we aren’t making permanent signings?

New owners saying they have ambition, then show it! Doesn’t look promising and i’m sorry but it’s annoying me now so wanted to make a post, these new owners need to book their ideas up.

Is anyone else getting my point yet? Still 0 ambition and selling players to raise funds because they are poor instead of reinvesting into the squad

May as well wait for the window to close before passing judgment.

There is always a trickle down effect.

Until your Man U. Arsenal, Chelsea etc sort out their squads then your Everton, Palace and West Hams are still sorting out theirs and so on.

Some of our best signings like Gibbs-White and McAtee were late additions.

We have a lot of players in contract this summer, which is good planning. No need to overload. We can be selective up until the window closes.

Macatee had been on the boil for months through dinner dates with his dad. In the bad old days under Wilder/ Heckingbottom schmoozing with parents and families of signings was what happened. Hoyland is cut from the same cloth so I’m surprised if he’s not doing the same. They’ve been doing the same with the kid from Atalanta for some time but if you can’t afford him then drop it

I may have made a rookie error there.

The New Avengers was on ITV 4 the other night and I threw my shoes at the telly. It’s the same thing right?

And since the new porn rules I’ve had to make do with Joanna Lumley…

I tired to verify my age with the picture of my dog, but it didnt work? what?

I love how I got so much abuse from this post but you aren’t laughing now are you?

It’s a disgrace. I’ve just noticed it before you have. End of

 

[Silkblade]

Your new threads are increasingly "look at me, look at me" types. One of our owners is a professional poker player - you don't show your hand and you constantly try to throw your opponents a curve ball. I bet he wishes he was playing you!

Are you now getting my point? Because I feel like my points were valid. Look at the state of our team it’s a joke

 

[Silkblade]

Another attention seeking post by a poster who loves to start a thread and couldn't be bothered to to look at the other threads

Not true, i wanted to get my own point across so it could stand out and if you re-read my post you can’t not agree with what i’m saying. The new owners are pulling our pants down mate

 

[Silkblade]

Agreed just loves to start attention seeking threads all the time instead of contributing to existing threads on the same subject. For example will start a thread on his point about a player or performance after a game literally every week instead of posting his point to the match day thread.

If I’m right the lad is only 16/17 so will grow out of it hopefully and gets some slack because of his young age.

I’d just like to say mate there were 0 other threads about the owners being bad. Yes there was a thread called “American Owners” but i wanted to get my point across about how shit our owners have been. They literally made a club statement after the play off final saying yeah no worries everyone everything will be fine we’re gonna take this club back to the top where they belong blah blah blah and they’ve done nothing. Absolutely nothing about it. They are simply letting us down

 

[Silkblade]

This post is somewhat inevitable, when we factor in that all other media leaks have left the club, when Wilder and the Prince left.

Silence doesn't mean inaction, doesn't mean a lack of ambition, doesn't mean we aren't working on deals. It could just mean that we aren't hearing about them.

I get that it's boring, quiet and leads to angst though. Let's see how the rest of the window unfolds.

Are you starting to get a bit impatient about our new owners yet? Still 0 ambition and the only good signing they have made is Louie Barry. Replaced Souza for someone who played in a farmers league. It’s just shit

 

[Silkblade]

Get a fucking grip seriously.

Wait and see what the squad looks like after deadline day.

Give the regime time to implement their vision and get behind selles and the team.

You posted this around 3 weeks ago and guess what, nothing has changed. The squad’s a mess and selling Souza then replacing him with an absolute farmer. Tyler Bindon and Louie Barry are promising players but have 0 championship experience. Then we are looking at signing a random bloke who plays right back from Red Star. The Championship is another level compared to that awful league so he will always look good. The new owners are pissing me right off. We’ve even cashed in on Anel and not brought in a replacement and he left over a week ago, what great ambition

Exactly it’s a joke. Sorry for ranting so much by the way but some of the replies I received to my thread were quite infuriating and now it’s been a couple of weeks I wanted to address them.

Yeah, of course.

I'd tried to keep my powder dry, but after the first two performances (not just results) it's clear that we lack depth, quality, leaders, players with championship experience, players willing to take the game by the scruff of the neck or to organise the side.

What we can't have is the current lack of league experience, of leaders, of depth. It simply isn't good enough. You cannot remove key players (in Anel, Souza), experienced older heads (e.g. Moore) and quality loanees (in Hamza, JRS, BBD) and not replace. The case in point being Brooks, whom I rate, but who was deemed not quite good enough last season - he's now our new number 11 and his understudy is an inexperienced guy, new to English football. In old McWobblegob speak we'd hear of this being referred to as "Cutting out cloth accordingly", in real speak it's a case of slowly selling assets and making your squad worse.

We had doubts over key players last season - e.g. Anel and Robinson as a partnership - and now even they look set to move on without being adequately replaced. Our existing signings are not proven performers, they're youngsters and players with promise, but with no Championship assured experience, at all. Many adapting to mens football for the first time, in a new country.

I'm not saying that Wilder's shopping list should have been THE targets but clearly players like Darling, Dunne, Poku were available, offering experience and potential, whilst other Championship steady Eddies such as Travis are available.

The squad and Selles were getting absolute pelters from some last night, but that just doesn't seem fair. You can't hire a new manager, implement a new style of play, but then not back him. You can't put a new squad together, but then neglect to surround them with experienced pros and leaders, they'll flounder. They're basically all being set up to fail at present, and none of that is of their own doing, it all rests with the owners and a clear lack of a plan.

The mistake by these new owners was not following the Leeds United model.

When Leeds lost narrowly to Southampton they kept faith with Farke and even tho they lost some quite influential players during the window that followed,they backed Farke to deliver the goods of promotion and he obliged.

We however decided to sack the manager and lose some infuential players,and show the new manager no backing at all (as yet),and i dont think any backing will be coming.

Thats the difference between Leeds and the Blades after a play off final defeat.

You reep what you sow.

I have very little faith that we will proactively back the manager.

Are you now getting my point? Because I feel like my points were valid. Look at the state of our team it’s a joke

Nope, nope and nope, I'm not getting your point. Your 'look at me, look at me' post was on 28 July. 12 days before the start of the season. Your post was not about the ability of Selles or the "state of our team" because at that point the only real player we had lost was Sousa - a big loss I admit, but we were already heavily linked with Soumare to replace him. And we were having what most considered to be a not too shabby pre-season.

So, now that we have had a awful start to the season and look shite, you are back here with your original thread trying to justify it and points score. Sorry mate, you are still a thread starting attention seeker.

FWIW, yes, now on the 14 August I am concerned. We are a team/club in complete disarray and it needs sorting PDQ!

Your thread is about COHs investment, or lack of it in this case which is the point you are making. There is literally a thread titled ‘COH’s Investment’ which you could have written your concerns in like everyone else has been doing, You may or may not be right on the owners I merely replied to another poster who said your attention seeking and loves to start threads, that it is right as it’s not your style to add to a ongoing discussion like everyone else, you want it all to be about you and have your own thread for any point you may have.

More & more it becoming clear that these guys gambled on promotion to the Premier League - both in the initial purchase and again in January. Sadly for all of us they lost! So it’s damage limitation now. 3 weeks to prove a lot of us wrong!

And you've figured that out... how?

Pure speculation? Because that's all I can assume

 

[john Mathison]

If this debacle continues, and no significant investment comes in, we will almost certainly imitate Luton of last year. As for last night, Robinson absolutely disgraced us, as captain, he should lead by example, he did the total opposite. Then Gus makes it worse by scoring THAT goal!!!!!! COH rubbing their hands together, will be amazed if he is still here, come end of the window. We smirked at the state of S6, no more, we are heading the same way.

Why should he? It's a forum for everyone, not just the club management arse lickers. William love. Carry on.

Also imagine we went up to the Premier League last season. These new owners would make us break Derby’s points record as we don’t sign any players

Deliberately as well, just to steal the money!
