We're totally buggered aren't we

[Tom Bott]

I bet Leicester City fans wished they were only buggered as much as some on here think we are.

It’s not looking great is it, with our owners facing two legal battles and recruitment seemingly caught up in the middle of it all.

A few potential scenarios:

• COH have the money to pay PA, but are simply trying to fight the claim and will ultimately stump up what’s owed.
• COH are short of cash but somehow find the money to settle the outstanding amount.
• We sell some of our on-field assets, such as Peck and Seriki, to help fund what’s owed.
• COH can’t afford to settle the debt, even with player sales, and we end up facing a points deduction.

None of those scenarios fill me with confidence about the season ahead. Even in the best-case scenario, we could be using money that should be going towards strengthening the squad simply to resolve ownership-related issues.

And even if we somehow find £10m to spend on players, who are we realistically going to attract? If you’re a quality player with genuine ambitions of playing for a top-six/eight Championship side, would Sheffield United currently be your first choice given all the uncertainty surrounding the club?

I really hope I’m wrong, but it feels like our season could be in danger of being over before it’s even properly begun.

If COH do have the money to resolve this, then I'd want them to demonstrate it very quickly and very publicly, because at this point we need certainty more than another statement about long-term ambition. It would also make a statement any potential signings that we are still in a good position and fighting for play-offs, not in a relegation battle

Our new club motto should be “ahh well, never mind”

Should we want it added to the club crest, that translates into Latin as:

“Age vero, nihil refert”

Not exactly Arte et Labore is it. Nihil Refert sounds sounds like a new signing with Dutch Sri Lankan heritage. Bet he’d be crap n’all.

If we are splitting hairs, we also have the Maddy Cusack inquest as well. I expect we will get more bad press when that inquest resumes.

Although that pre-dates the current ownership. It's bad press until these court cases get resolved, I just hope our owners have legitimate reasons in both court cases.

I've just resigned myself to doom. But in on holiday in Bulgaria and there's an Elvis inpercenator so that's alright!

"I'm not the king, Jesus Christ is the king". Amen to that Elvis!

Thank you very much!

I won a competition once on the radio. Prize was a night out in London for a Elvis tribute show or £ 500. I had to choose.
Press 1 for the money or 2 for the show

 

[CoatesyBlade]

It’s definitely been the worst ‘Rumour Mill’ in recent history I’ll give you that!

 

[Blood Red]

Can't see us signing anybody today. I expect the owners have bigger fish to fry at this moment in time.

They would have if they bought Man Fridays. That place makes a killing on a match day because as Steve and Helmy well know Sheffielders like their tea.

Pleased to help by the way Steve and Helmy and if there's any consultancy jobs going then I'm your bear!

Too right the club should get some bad press for that. Despicable what happened to Maddy.

They claim day to day running is unaffected let’s see

There’s one consistent.

Time for him to get fuck out of our club, the fucking snake.

 

[Servigliano]

Our owners may well be playing silly buggers with the Prince and their erstwhile 3rd partner and think they will "win".
However I've no doubt that the EFL and every club in the Champioship will consider it a 35 Million advantage to us at the expense of the rest of the league.
You don't need more than one brain cell to see where this be headed.
And that is precisely why we will sign no-one.
So, the scenario is that the EFL will doc us 12 points - but what the ++++ were they doing letting these shysters buy us. They have serious questions to answer.
Interesting times.
