But instead of shutting the revolving door, Sheffield United opened another one. So four managers, 49 players and defeat after defeat after defeat later, United drop down into League One for the first time since the late 80s, victims of their own incompetence on and off the field. League One The 2010-11 season won't be particularly fondly remembered on the other side of the steel city. Sheffield Wednesday at least had mitigating circumstances for their 15th-placed finish, not least the battle to stave off administration prior to Christmas (although the Owls' dramatic dip in form coincided with Milan Mandaric's December takeover). Inconsistency has been a huge problem – an eight-goal swing saw them beat Bristol Rovers one weekend and lose 5-1 at Exeter the next – though it's worth bearing in mind that the last time Wednesday were this bad (when they finished 16th in League One in 2004-05) they were promoted the following year. Championship player of the year: Paddy Kenny. Football clearly inflicts nothing but disappointment for the people of Sheffield. Anyone want to start a Curling club?

Stockers Posted May 12, 2011 Share Posted May 12, 2011 Weren't we arguing over who was the better keeper out of Kenny and Grant last season, I think we can put that one to rest, isn't Grant 3rd choice keeper at Burnley these days? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
