Try quoting me next time big lad. To say you won the internet it seems you have trouble making it work…
 

He's spent some cash this week - about £27,000,000

I've been as concerned as everyone else, but the window isn't closed yet, and I think we have 3 more players to come in, so the mists are starting to clear for me.

With the addition of Hamer we seem to have a strong defence and MF. Need to sort out LWB (Lowe doesn't cut it for me), unless RND is close to coming back.

One of the loans to try to replace the irreplaceable Ndiaye and an experienced striker and we're good to go.

If he can sell the club before January and we can hang in there until then, we might end up having a season most of us didn't expect.

Really looking forward to 3pm now Hamer and Souza have signed.

There are still some of you. Or realists, as you’ve named yourselves in some quarters, The New Age Outlaws or whatever you’ve Christened yourselves on social media. I can’t keep up.

Seeing people pulling Alex Crook for saying we are pathetic and behaving like a championship club, when he is in no way wrong. “You said this last time!!” Yeah he did, they all did, but don’t the only similarities between those two squads, mentalities and promotions overall were they both play in red and white, wear the Sheffield United badge and play 3 at the back. That side humbles this one.

All those who think Ndiaye and Berge are somehow snakes or rats this is aimed at too.
Come to think of it, if you think this applies to you - it does.

I’ll head this by saying I was totally behind the Prince and accepted his way of running the football club until after the January transfer window. The smell of shit got a bit too much to handle and it’s been nothing but downhill since despite a Premier league promotion.

I’ll ask you one question firstly and then follow it up with more after:
If this was happening at Wednesday, would you be pissing yourself and laughing your head off like a fucking chimp at Chansiri calling him a nutter, or are you a liar?

And then a few more:
Do you think this is any way normal to run a football club? We all know the prince is skint, but that’s no excuse. It shows absolutely no future planning and smacks of reactionary behaviour.

Turning over a net transfer profit after promotion to the premier league and having nothing to show for it, barely any assets on the pitch, a crumbling training ground, below standard Academy and some freshly painted stands. Unlike the likes of Norwich who’ve used their PL stints to build a state of the art training ground for example. Is that behaviour that you expect or deem acceptable?

I keep hearing the excuses for the squad being (ALARMINGLY) weaker than the side that won promotion being that the transfer window doesn’t end until the end of the month. In which we play Crystal Palace at home and Forest away. Does that make it acceptable? Give for City, You are in effect throwing 2 winnable games with this squad. We aren’t just accepting relegation we’re accepting an embarrassment.

The Prince has put the price of the club up at a reported £170m - is that a reasonable price? Being that was with a valuation of the squad at £120m. Now unless Anel is worth £100m I think that can be heavily reassessed.

Whose fault is it that we’ve had so many players running down to their last year of their contract? Egan and Baldock could well be next out of the door.

What are your thoughts of him keeping saying he is trying to find the best prospective buyer for the future of the football club but trying to sell us to two conmen which we actually know about?

What are the excuses for us doing all of this? We should be £100m richer. You can blame cash flow all you want, borrow against the future like everyone else does. That doesn’t wash with me.

Call us negative all you want, we shouldn’t have a reason to be negative. Turns out we have about 100.

This isn’t just a mental way to run a premier club, it’s a mental to way to run a football club and it’s unacceptable. I can’t believe he has any supporters left.

And last but now least:
Do you expect us to beat Derby’s 07/08 record low points total of 11? Because I know I don’t.

You sound like the bloke we've been waiting for.👍Hope you can buy our club with all that "Expertise" Though to be fair you haven't explained how you'd solve the gaping holes in the club's thinking.🙄
I struggle with unnecessary criticism when folk provide no counter argument.
As for the points total,Derby's record I think is safe imho👍.UTB
 
Nice of us to give other teams a head start anyway 👍 thanks Princey mate 👍 hope we can get the 4 players we need in time for the next game 👍

Ah yeah, I need to give us an alternative. Not the bloke running the football club who’s left us in the state we’re now in.
 
God you’re boring! We are in a far better state than most and the windows not closed yet . We would all like things done asap but sometimes it just doesn’t happen ! Tuesday to Friday to sign Hamer seems pretty quick to me .
As ever UTB !

Palace are in one of the worst states in the division btw. We’re clearly in a worse state than they are. We clearly dont have enough to stay up.

I wonder if this has changed a few people's views of Chris Wilder? "Leaving through the back door", might actually have been a case of reaching the end of his tether with a nightmare board/owner.

Not really if I’m honest.

Wilder had a relatively reasonable budget to work with, whereas Hecky is expected to work miracles.

Wilder ‘spunkin muneh’ is a contributing factor to the current financial situation in which we find ourselves.

Ultimately true of course. But although their prices were a little rich. McBurnie had a decent record elsewhere so I can see why we went in for him. Same for Brewster who I thought would be a great signing. Little did we realise that neither would deliver (so far at least) for a variety of reasons. Although in the case of McBurnie I’ve often felt we were playing him wrong.
 
Slim Man said:
Twitter is like shouting into the void, here you get to aim your questions at Blades. It’s quite simple.

Anyone justifying the sales of either without replacements, accepting the state of the squad, saying it was all ‘necessary’ is an apologist of the Prince and his lack of knowledge in how to run a football club. They don’t have to go round wearing thawbs and kaffiyehs.

I feel the sales became necessary due to the inaction of the board. That inaction resulted in each player willing to run their contract down and leave for nothing at the end of the season. So that would have been circa £30m walking out of the door for nothing.

So yeah, not something we could afford to do, but also shitty that it was allowed to get to that position in the first place

Have errors been made? Yes.
Do we have a competent football club
management team? No.

A child screaming and stamping his feet in the supermarket because he can’t get his own way, did not persuade the club to buy Gus Hamer from Coventry.

A calm and collected manager, (Heckinbottom) did that. PH did not loose his shit in the current situation. Some fans are not happy and that is understandable. Being unhappy and blaming the owner and board will not change anything, even if your mother decides to pick you up off the supermarket floor, because of embarrassment.
Behaving like a spoiled child is not a win for you, because you have no idea how things work, and the detail of what has actually happened.

I am sad and disappointed with what has happened at SUFC. I don’t pretend to understand what’s actually happened and why. Apparently you do, but you decline the opportunity to answer or explain.
Throwing your toys out of the Priam, and blaming others for your disappointment is not the answer.

The club, and Hecky in particular, will make the best of it. Fans who cry and whine about it, won’t.

If you have detailed information about this issue, and who is responsible for it, please share. Otherwise, STFU and let PH get on with it.

A group of fans agree with you and support your position. I don’t!
