Yeates' Best Bar None

Time to go blackwell...we're going nowhere fast - boro are starting to pick up just at the right time and will go straight into play offs - your signings are generally poor (see my post on another thread about the number of wide men we have signed - incredible when we dont really use them!), the tactics are shocking and we dont even do the basics right.........its a matter of time so lets cut our losses and get rid - no more crap from him with his obvious lying, no more radio sheff defending him at every turn - he simply isnt good enough

I didn't go last night so I can only really comment on the result - which simply isn't good enough! In the last 3 games we've played Watford, Derby and Preston (3 very average Champ sides) and we've picked up 1 point!! And we didn't really deserve that! I can't believe we're still in touching distance of the playoffs to be honest. It just shows how poor this league is. It wouldn't be so bad if we were playing well and getting poor results but we've been awful to watch all season and now we're not even picking up the odd 1-0 win. This isn't a knee jerk reaction from Blades fans: The football under Blackwell has been appalling for around 75% of the time he's been here. Time for a change!

gleadless - we produced 2 amazing young players last season, something that sheffield football hasn't produced for over 50 years and we sell them on less than 4 months later. no kenny through bad management of the player, no naughton, no walker, no kilgallon, no halford, no hulse, no stead, no cotterill, no howard, no tonge, no bromby...shall i go on? thats a championship worthy promotion team sold off in 6-12 months. SHOCKING BLACKWELL HAS TO GO AND AS FAR AS IM CONCERNED SO DOES MACABE AND HIS BULL....Get ready because we are in the crap big time, its just bein kept in the dark by macabe and lied to.

kenny was very badly informed or uninformed either way i put it down to bad management or a lack of information to the player regarding the situation. I know halford wasn't our player but he could have been for less than what wolves paid for him but we didnt take up the option given to us for obvious reasons. Howard was and is a good player, just simply played out of the game due to shocking tactics, ok at times (most times he didn't help himself), nevertheless is proving his worth now in a struggling side that play much much better football...The point i was raising was the flog off..of an entire team within 6 months that would have challenged for an automatic top 2 finish this season quite easilly. If the unambitious chairman (and he's very unambitious) had any kind of love or ambitious he would have realised that the squad last season would have gone places this season instead of ripping it all apart and starting all over again. Surely if it's about getting promoted as quick as possible to deal with the money issues than keeping a promotion winning able team for at least another season would have been the logical thing to do. Think about the finances as a whole. Fact is we would have been much better off by keeping the squad of players together and getting promotion this season..than selling off a star assets and having no chance of promotion within the next 20 years. We have a shocking mentality (that of a small club), with small ideas, small business plans, and no ambition whatsoever. Apart from beattie no other player was crippling the club financialy there and then. We could have pressed on. Last seasons squad would be in the top 2 now....thats my point and all the financial worries would be starting to somewhat calm down....instead we do it 'THE BLADES WAY'....sell sell sell, moan, moan, moan...then really wonder why we are in the starte we are in!!!!

disagree on kenny all his own fault in my opinion...we wouldnt have been having these debates if mccabe held his bottle for 6 months more and kept hold of james beattie...dont want to hear arguments about post xmas form, that lad would easily have scored the goals that would have taken us up - and automatically...I understand the club needing to cut their cloth but JB was easily the best scorer we've seen down there in the last 20 years, he'd have notched against forest home, palace away and that'd have seen us up - thats the biggest disappointment that they bottled it 6 motnhs to soon...I dont blame Kb for the departure of players as i think its out of his hands, but i do for the terrible football adn the fact that players have come and gone, looking like bad players, due ot the style of play...and i'll never let go of the fact htat sun ji couldnt get a game for the team and halford did!

JB was on £39k plus add ons, thats £2m a year. No championship team can pay those kind of wages, and his agent was holding the club at gun point over a contract renewal that would have given him a further increase on a minimum 3 year contract.

I went and we didn't deserve to lose that match, I think a win is just around the corner. Don't listen to the doom mongers who will tell you we were ***** because we weren't, 2-0 United on Saturday

I'm realistic pal, your post-match reactions are borderline hysterical. Get a grip, a deflected shot and a dodgy penalty won it for them- they didn't have a clear cut chance all match. BTW Ched is NOT on 15-20k p/w...you really think he would go from being paid c5k at Man C to 20k here? No chance, try 10k.

Gleadless. I always respect your posts and opinions, but just as you have a source regarding the supposed fall out between Blackwell and every player at the club, you really have to accept that I know for a fact that Beattie was on £39k. FACT. Anyway, Beattie has long gone, lets try to accept that and move on to rthe present, or Harrogate & I will bore you with the sale of Jones, Birchinall, Sabella etc. etc.

not every player glou, del boy and wardy...fair enough on the wages but my contact was adament but we're splitting hairs anyway seen as he scored twice a week he was raking in £40k! I did note that Fulham pulled out of signing him on deadline day as they werent prepared to increase his wages to £40k from his present £35k at stoke..cant imagine him taking a drop from the lane...but anyway as you say move on from it, my main point was regarding the promotion! Ive had enough 60's and 70's tales off my dad and grandad to last a lifetime! if he tells me again about the 25K fans locked out of old trafford zzzzz

don't be silly glouc he must be 30 years older than me at least...however i'm starting to think that blackwell maybe be your long lost eldest son? and mccabe maybe your slightly older brother as they can't do anything wrong in your eyes?
