:hihi::hihi::hihi::hihi: after 1 loss in about 7-8 games the blades are back to their good old selves, where were you calling for his head when you were winning 3-4 games in a row?

where were you?
where were you?
where were you when you were good? lol

Lets be honest blackwell is clueless and just cus we won a couple of games earlier doesnt change anything,he has to go.

I can't believe he's still there in all honesty, especially as it seems he's not being up to standard for some time now according to some Blade's fan's on here.

Loyalty from the chairman to the manager, unlike another club who sack their best manager in a generation just because he's lost a few games - fickle fans turning on the man who was their saviour less than a year ago... McCabe knows you'll have bad spells during a season, and believes in KB to come through that, as we did.

Strafford however, the fan that he is, can't accept losing a few games and gets rid of Wednesday's best asset just to be seen to be doing something, to appease the owls fans who think they're better than they really are...

Laws didn't help himslef with his below average excuses for the performances that were produced by the player's in the latter part of his reign.
So all in all it wasn't much of a surprise to me that he went, that together with weird team selections and substitutions aswell as almost throwing in the towel against Reading virtually, wouldn't have stood many managers in good stead.
United have more leeway when it come's to getting a new manager in and sacking the current one as they can afford the compo unlike us, so it was a brave decision by Strafford to be fair to the fella.
Maybe Mcabe just likes Blackwell as he's the man that say's "yes".
A best manager in a generation??????????
Im not with you on that comment unfortunatley.

Given what Laws has had to work with, in comparison to those who were in charge during the Premier League past, he's got to be a contender for best owls manager since 1993, at least? Difficult to compare against those that won you that cup when they had pots of cash to spend...? According to many on here, he's the best manager you've had in a long time (or he certainly was prior to the bad run...).

I can't believe he's still there in all honesty, especially as it seems he's not being up to standard for some time now according to some Blade's fan's on here.

He isnt up to standard, neither is our football Corky, he's a Warnock wannabe. But nowhere near as good.
Speed in.

In my opinion Sturrock is a legend what he did for us over the relatively short space of time he was at Hillsborough, he was loved and still is by us Wednesdayites.
Law's was decent but even when he had bit's to spend he bought some bloody trash, and he loaned a couple of strange ones to say the least.
Things got gradually worse with Law's not better so no he wasn't that great to be honest.

To be fair though Corky, you're the owls equivalent with Laws of Sham with Blackwell :hihi:

Ive never slagged the bloke or owt, i respected him for taking a very hard job, which in all fairness not many people would dare take on at the time, and probably even now.
I hope he moves on a gets a club where he has a bit to spend and has a chance to proove himslef as a manager.
I see the Nott's County job as a perfect oppurtunity for him to get himself back into management.

agreed, i never thought laws was the best manager we've ever had. he was a decent manager but he made strange decisions when it came to the team selections/subs sometimes. i think alot of fans just saw the derby double and gave him legend status just for that 1 thing.
as for blackwell, i think you can do better than him but probably just a yes man to mccabe

Come on now enough is enough ive had it i cant do with it anymore how long we got to wait before this fool is gone im sure i could do a better job than the tit at the lane.:loopy:

Nothing to do with losing one game mate i wanted blackwell out since the play off joke and lets be honest which manager would play montgomery hes old dead wood hes finnished, and what about ward he would not get in any other team in the championship and henderson shall i go on. Im also taking it that we are waitin for an over rated goal keeper to come back lol we are a joke we need a big clear out incuding the boss. I cant wait to see what goes on in jan transfer window im guessing not much maybe a move for a league one striker if i had my way we would look at proven hard working players not just fodder.

Welcome to Sheffield Forum, Mr Strafford :hihi:

New keeper
New defender
New midfielder
Stronger manager with balls.

Come on now enough is enough ive had it i cant do with it anymore how long we got to wait before this fool is gone im sure i could do a better job than the tit at the lane.:loopy:

No lads not on a wind up you must think like blackwell thats what we dont need we will be shown for what we are when we play a good team ward is not on fire he is a joke a league one striker and monty is rubbish dont care how many of you stick with him his day is done.

the wise one has spoken ladies and gentlemen

Had to find a Blackclock thread to air my views on his latest interview.
On Radio Sheffield recently, after he was sure their bad run was over, Blackwell (with the authoratative manner of a 'proper manager') said the 'new' players now knew 'what it meant to be a Sheffield United player'.
I bet they nearly choked on their lager when they heard this.
What exactly does it mean to be a Sheffield United player?
My take on it is, is that it's an admission that you're not good enough to be a premiership player, or for a team likely to make the Premiership.
Not exactly summat you'd want to advertise to the world is it.
What exactly did Blackwell mean? :hihi:

I think what he was trying to say was that Earwiggo bloke is a bit obsessed with all things Blackwell & all thing SUFC!

lol pot calling kettle haa haa

Blackwell was also trying to say that armchair dog likes to stalk certain SF members :)

he means they have a bit about them some of the FOOTBALL not hooofball was great in the 2nd half on saturday quick one touch passing

I bet 99% of players are chomping at the bit wanting to sign for United.
But they don't know what it means to play for them.
Kilgallon does.

OOops!

Unlike some, I don't start new threads when one already exists.
It's what we're all supposed to do.
What do you think Blacklock means by his comments?
Does he think that you have to be a special talent, and be a fantastic player to 'play for United', or do you qualify if you're only average, but can run a round a lot?
I'll remind you of Blackwell's statement.

"We're doing better because the new players now know what it means to play for Sheffield United"

What does he mean?

It would be a MASSIVE thread if everyone going to Hillsborough had to add their name to the list.

Do you know what Blackwell means, I can't work it out?
Bad news about Kilgallon.

Morning Earwigs,I can tell u what it means mate.Players come to BDTBL ,see the set up and think they might get to the Promised Land.Then after seeing how Blackwell treats certain players and how the best players are sold with most of the funds not going towards replacements,they then realise a move would be better.:confused:

So is what your saying, that players see sheffield united as a stepping stone to better things? I.E money,lifestyle and football and they use united as shop window cos they know if they perform a better team will take them away and united will cash in without fail. So does that mean united are a team of mercinaries just looking for the better deal/team over the horizon?

I now feel as though its time for a change. I am getting more frustrated with him and thats a lot coming from me as I have suppported and defended him for a while now. His attitude is shocking, if I had done the intervew on Radio Sheffield after the last match I would have told him to go **** himself (and for those that don't know me - I really would have done coz I am gobby like that :hihi:).....the attitude is not necessary.

Can't believe you people - so we lost the play off final - so what, get over it, at least Blackie got us there - remind me, where did the other south yorkshire clubs finish? Season before i seem to remember Blackie rescuing us from what looked like certain relegation. And unless I've misread the table aren't we in 6th at the mo . . . a little loyalty and credit where it's due please.

oh really missy, youre so unladylike arnt you:roll:

But could we do better though without him ???

Yep the players got us there far point but we havnt been that great this season. Some games have been shocking!!!

Unsurprising given the injury list . . . and an unsettled killa. I'm quietly optimistic and looking forward to Bolton

Bit of an overreaction? You dipped and underachieved under Robson, but "certain relegation"? You didn't go anywhere near the bottom 3 in the table.

Only cos Blackie rode to the rescue in the nick of time . . .:hihi:

Only cos Blackie rode to the rescue in the nick of time . . .:hihi:

Midtable is hardly certain relegation. Wasn't Robson sacked after only losing one league game (vs SWFC) in about 8?

Suppose mid table and falling felt like certain relegation at the time. . . bit of a contrast with t'other lot, dreaming of climbing so high . . .

Unsurprising given the injury list . . . and an unsettled killa. I'm quietly optimistic and looking forward to Bolton

Yes looking forward to Bolton...should be a good game - depending on what mood the players are in.

Your even sounding like him now...your not Blackwell are you :P :P :hihi:

Blackwells first league game in charge was feb 23rd 2008 against qpr we had drawn our last five games.
I think we were 16th in the league when robson was sacked, 9 points off the play offs.

Really excited - rarely get to away matches cos I work alternate weekends. Reckon they'll be up for it, especially Jamie after his recent comments

Nice one - have fun. I sadly can't make this one :( will listen to it on Blade player if I get back in time

I confess it's very gratifying to hear the manager say exactly what I'm thinking! gives me delusions of knowing what I'm talking about :hihi:

Bad news about Kilgallon.

I was merely saying Mr Wiggo, in a veiled yet easy to understand way I thought, that I think you are a childish two hat.

And no it's good news about Kilgallion actually.

So does that mean united are a team of mercinaries just looking for the better deal/team over the horizon?
No I'm saying that they come here hoping we are good enough-with the set up-to get to the Prem but after a while they realise the ambition is only off the field and that Blackwell is not the easiest to get on with.

Morning Earwigs,I can tell u what it means mate.Players come to BDTBL ,see the set up and think they might get to the Promised Land.Then after seeing how Blackwell treats certain players and how the best players are sold with most of the funds not going towards replacements,they then realise a move would be better.:confused:

Hiya Rock!

Yeah, if they toe Blacklocks line, they'll be fine.
I'm glad you've got your finger on the pulse matey boy!
KB's not the sharpest knife, but unfortunately he thinks he's the second best (if not the best) manager in the country.
The players who suit his mindset are safe as houses at S2, no danger of them being moved on.
We're off to RHB in a couple of weeks an'all.
Marvelleous!

That's the one where he was practising his defence speech on the way to the interview gantry.
Reporter asked him his opinion of the game ( A 1-0 WIN) and HE NEARLY BIT THE REPORTERS HEAD OFF!

God it was embarrassing.
I'd have told him to go back down the steps, calm down, and start the interview again.

(and for those that don't know me - I really would have done coz I am gobby like that :hihi:).....

that in can belive :D

Thanks very much!
It was very well veiled, not the slightest hint of what you were trying to say.
Yep, it is damn fine news for Kilgallon, knowing he no longer has to report to S2 to ply his trade.

that in can belive :D

:hihi: I cant help it I speak my mind :D

Bring back Bryan Robson on a 5 year contract and say hello to games against Worksop Town, Stocksbridge Park Steels, Gainsbrough Trinity, Hoyland Jags Reserves :cool:

Bring back Bryan Robson on a 5 year contract and say hello to games against Worksop Town, Stocksbridge Park Steels, Gainsbrough Trinity, Hoyland Jags Reserves :cool:

or why not bring back warnock and have a team that plays with passion,fight and pride.

Warnock brought something to united since howard kendall was incharge.

Was a fan of kendall, he shaped modern united atho he was drunk doing it lmao.

wish blackwell wud resign.

wish blackwell wud resign.

never happen. He would have to be pushed I'm affraid.

So far, Wednesday have been proven right in sacking Laws...Irvine seems to have sorted us out so far and we look more organised..time will tell though.

I liked Laws..but I don't think he's that great a manager, especially towards the end. For me Sturrock was better. I know Laws took us to our best finish in a decade..but he had a good squad..assembled by Sturrock and to a degree by Turner.Laws also took the job as Macauley got some momentum going with 4 wins in a row.

In regard to blackwell...he irritates me but that was because he seemed to be a Warnock wannabe (I liked Warnock). So far he's not doing a bad job at United, so there's no point sacking him.

IM A MASSIVE UNITED FAN BUT

i hate it when ppl call for our managers heads when opposition sciore but when we score we love em wer mid table and not exactly doing crap i think he deserves a warning as he doesnt seem to be liked by many players and he has a bit of a big ego when he played monty in rb instead of geary what was that about but tbf monty did step up to the plate

he doesnt need sacking but needs a warning about the way he goes about things sometimes

The only way he'll go is if United suffer a humiliating defeat at a bottom of the table side and..oh.....

he needs to go 7 loses away and not that good at home how much can we all take we all can dream about going up this year we got no chance we need a chance and now

don't renew your season ticket. this season has been a joke to say the least the performances this season have been dire, won't be renewing mine thats a definite rather **** on it first then rub it in blackwells face, dont make excuses for the fat **** he has to go.

Thats very shortsighted and not the answer. Don't you see that your action will damage the club, and not necessarily the manager? If you take money away from the club, what hope have they got in attracting a better manager, having less funds? Protest in some other way. Don't starve the club of income.
