Taken from Bladesmad;
"The players are dismayed about how sh*t the team are playing. Apparently all the players are in constant fewar of Blackwell, they're forever treading on ice. He rips into them for the slightest mistake. It's got to the point that whenever they get the ball they just boot it upfield (A: Because they are scared of making a mistake, B: Because thats what Blackwell wants them to do). The players want to get the ball down and play but are being made to play long ball and hate it.
In the dressing room after the Burnley game Blackwell went beserk at Sharp for about 15 minutes. He was screaming at him, calling him all the names under the sun, and saying how sh*t and useless he is. Eventually, Naysmith stood up and told Blackwell he'd said enough and to leave sharp enough. Naysmith then got an earful. Speed and a few other players then stood up and tried to defend shapy and they too got slapped down.
A few days later Blackwell called Sharp to his office and laid into him again. He told him he was useless and that he's a big time Charlie and he's fed up with him. Blackwell said he hates the way Sharp thinks he's "It" driving round in a big flash car etc. (even though at the time the "flash" car Sharp was driving was a courtesy car he had cos he's missus' car was in the garage). As a result Sharp's really low and thinks Blackwell is trying to get rid of him.
In the first warm up before the Southampton game one of the other players asked Webber if he's been offered a new contract. Webber replied that he hadn't been offered a new contract and he assumed they wanted to get rid of him. Sam Ellis overheard this conversation and immediately went down the tunnel and into the dressing room and told Blackwell that Webber wants to leave the Blades.
Brian Howard is among the players who is totally disillusioned. He's fed up of the ball constantly sailing over his head. A number of players (including Beattie) cant wait to leave the club cos they're fed up with Blackwell's management style and tactics.
Blackwell tried to get rid of Stokes after he trashed a hotel room. He sent him back to Sunderland and tried to terminate the loan deal but Keane refused to and sent him back. Two weeks later he's back in our first team.
A few months ago Blackwell went over to Paddy at the end of a training session and told him how pleased he was with him and how well he'd done since he'd been manager. He told addy that he deserved a new contract and that he was gonna speak to the board and sort it. The next thing Paddy knew Blackwell was in the Star saying that Paddy was demanding a new contract!"
