chalga   10 #61 Posted May 26, 2017 Your saying a club that has spent money is in the same division as Burton, I'm saying Chelsea are in the same division as Watford. If you consider finishing 4th and 6th getting "nowhere" after years of lower placed finishes where do you expect united to finish next season?  His biggest out lay has been on Jordan Rhodes (who has not cost a penny yet) he only joined at the end of January after not playing football for nearly a year.  The two league positions suggest the money has not been spent stupidly, if the team had finished 4th from bottom you could say it had.  Sheffield united spent £1.5m on John Brayford in a league where most TEAMS are probably not worth that so its all relative.  The difference here is that Wilder was successful while moving expensive signings out,Carlos has not been successful bringing them in.

top4718   838 #62 Posted May 26, 2017 (edited) The difference here is that Wilder was successful while moving expensive signings out,Carlos has not been successful bringing them in.  4th place in any league is reasonable success after 15yrs of dross, failing in a two legged "cup tie" does not make a whole season a failure.  What expensive signings did Wilder move out, I can't remember any and Brayford had gone before he took over?  You could also argue that when CC took over the Owls had about 8 players in contract and he’s built a team of challengers whereas Wilder took over challengers, got rid of the deadwood and got them over the line. Different scenarios. Edited May 26, 2017 by top4718 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

If united don't go straight to the PL is that a failure, when united had great cup runs under clough but didn't go up was that a failure - there were plenty hailing it at the time.

Â Never read anything so ridiculous, six teams compete for three promotion places, three go up the other three have had great seasons and very narrowly lost a play off (Fulham to a dubious penalty), you could say that any of the 19 teams who dont win the Premier League have also failed - totally flawed logic.

Â They've finished in the Champions League spots in previous seasons so this would be seen as a diappointment and they haven't been great throughout the season. Â Anyway totally pointless argument, I've enjoyed the last two seasons better than probably 15 of the previous 17 so both have been a success for me.
