    Barbed hint..

    Cutlers Holdings are being wound up, subsidiary of Scarborough. Third party solicitors acting as liquidators will be responsible for selling off assets. The Kop Land being part of that. Bettis seemed to intimate SUFC may be interested in buying the Land. They will never have a better opportunity...

    WORRA SHOCK(Not)

    Everton were always going to get a reduction because the first Independent Commission failed to set out their reasoning behind how they arrived at a figure of 10 points. When its written into the EPL rules that you get an automatic deduction of -9 points for Administration its unlikely breaches...

    Is any anyone watching…….

    Did work on Government contracts from 1980 and moved into insurance/legal world in 1984. Work took me into Hobart House, NCB Headquarters on a regular basis. Also came across Arthur S a few times before 84. He was good company and had some funny stories to tell about his early days as a union...

    LEST WE FORGET

    Always think of my Dad on Armistice Day. Its also one of my daughters birthdays. He was a D Day vet and bugler playing the last post on many occasions. He loved watching the ceremony at the Cenotaph on TV each year knowing all the tunes the bands played. Gone but not forgotten. We'll always...

    RIP

    Sad to report that its just been posted on S24SU forum that Dar Blade aka Ainsley Harriott on there has passed away. He was a regular contributor on Blades mad. He bravely posted on S24 about his battle with cancer. His posts reflecting the brave way he dealt with his illness. I didn't know...

    BLADES v Wolves match day thread

    Great win today but yet again our management of injuries is hampering us. Brewster apparently injured himself in training yesterday so why are we playing him? We wait until the 89th minute to make only our second substitution and Hamer breaks down with a possible hamstring. Our injury list is...

    Brethren

    It would help if we played Hamer in the position he played for Coventry as one of the two holding midfielders allowing him to run box to box. For some reason we've decided he's wide midfield or a number 10.

    Arsenal 5 United 0 - report

    He had a knee injury with Chelsea as a youngster. The injury with Liverpool required two operations and he was out for a full season. Our medical services due diligence was poor on this transfer.

    Wilder coming back?

    Probably posturing for a longer contract than till the end of the season which is what it should be if he's coming back. Rumours of a 3 year contract in the offing suggests he has a very good agent and illustrates once again the incompetence of SUFC's off field operations. I didn't want him...

    Inquest

    The current regime never make quick decisions so I expect the manager to stay for the moment. What is different is the players just look confused by the tactics we are employing. They aren't fit enough they cant string two passes together or even get out of their own half. Any other Club and the...

    What's the Plan?

    What do we change. The defence and fitness and conditioning coaches for a start. The level of injuries is down to conditioning and training methods. The excuse of poor training pitches was resolved last season. The bucks stops with the manager. The lack of post medical recovery facilities is...

    Inquest

    Sadly today has finally alienated the majority of the fan base against the Manager. The lack of fight, conditioning and tactical nous have taken their toll. Its not all on the manager he has been badly let down by a regime that is once again conspicuous by their absence. It was always going to...

    Wilder coming back?

    A week ago it was most definitely the wrong move. After Sundays tactical second half disaster, players going through the motions, an unwanted record of worst ever league defeat and post match comments from a shell shocked manager that it was only 3 points the future doesn't look good for him...

    WIERZ SEAN?

    Late to the party in passing on my condolences RIP SBT. He was a character. Humbling to read the number of tributes from people that had never met him. He was part of the furniture on here and will be sadly missed.

    MATCH DAY THREAD: The Mighty Blades v Newcastle United

    Rod I haven't been on here for a while and just noticed you said SBT had passed away. I wasn't aware of that so condolences to his family. He wasn't everyones cup of tea but he was a passionate Blade and I suspect from his posts that he was only in his early 60's so far too young to go. RIP.

    MATCH DAY THREAD: The Mighty Blades v Newcastle United

    Good post and sums up most of my feelings after witnessing the worst performance I have seen from a team wearing red and white stripes. I can't accept waving the white flag and giving up after an hour as I witnessed for the first time ever at the Lane yesterday. There was no pride in wearing the...

    RIP

    RIP. Very sad news. Missed last weeks game due to illness and now gone within a few days. Condolences to her family. No parent should have to experience losing a child in these circumstances.

    Wilder coming back?

    Its a rag that was firmly in the McCabe camp during and after the Court Hearing publishing a number of post court rants about the Princes suitability as an owner. The fact Biggs states he's contributed to that rag in the past confirms in my mind that the pro Wilder lobby are at work again trying...
