The only way is S6 Posted March 5, 2020 Share Posted March 5, 2020 It’s a different Arsenal now, to the one they beat at the sty, where Pepe missed a sitter from 2 yards. Plus it’s Arsenal’s last chance of winning anything this season. Won’t be easy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's just consider that fact. It's unbelievable. There are two SWs in this city, Sheffield Wednesday and Sheffield Wilder. The sooner he's gone, the better.

alanharper Posted March 6, 2020 Share Posted March 6, 2020 Can see them beating Arsenal if Arteta plays a weakened team like he has in the previous rounds. Hopefully with them being knocked out of the Europa League they'll take it seriously, even then I can see United going through - probably get Norwich in the semi as well! At least this thread has woken up. Had a quick glance at their board and it looks like despite them gunning for a European place and into the FA Cup quarters in their "best season evah", their thread about us has grown by over 200 pages in about 3 weeks...

Beighton Owl 87 Posted March 6, 2020 Share Posted March 6, 2020 They may well beat Arsenal but beyond that I can't see them getting any further. United don't win at Wembley. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Parsons Cross Owl Posted March 6, 2020 Share Posted March 6, 2020 Usual pig luck to beat Reading, and then drawn at home AGAIN. Arsenal are a different beast under Arteta, there is no way the unwashed are winning this one. Going to sit back and enjoy watching them get a hiding in a half empty Bumhole Lane Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They haven't played in a half empty stadium all season so they certainly won't for an fa cup quarter final. It's the sort of fixture they shouldn't win but always seem to this season.

Pretty sure I read somewhere that they had taken out a loan several months ago which was offset against tv money they were due to receive. This is a guy who at one point was so awash with cash that Kevin McCabe thought he could lowball him with a 5 million offer for 50 percent of the club. Unless his toilet paper business has really picked up, I would suspect that the signings of McBurnie, Berge etc., have all come from the club coffers as opposed to his own. Running the club from the money they bring in? You do know that’s what youre supposed to do? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A month has passed and you finally managed to come up with a post. My point was that if the vast majority of your budget is coming from the tv deal and your owner doesn't have a pot to pi55 in, then there could be issues down the line.

You doN’t seriously think I read it and waited a Month to respond do you? ? I think we have far bigger concerns don’t you? Anyway the Bog Roll Prince will be coining it in with all this panic buying of Bog roll. So he might have nearly as much in his back pocket as DC now. Hopefully he can ruin their club the way DC has ours 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BIG D Posted March 25, 2020 Share Posted March 25, 2020 SUFC Statement In response to public statements being circulated by the Scarborough Group, Sheffield United Football Club regrets that it must update the statement it released on 20th January 2020 regarding the in principle agreement previously reached between the Club and the Scarborough Group over the transfer to the Club of the freehold of Bramall Lane (together with the long leasehold interests in the Copthorne Hotel and Enterprise Centre), plus Shirecliffe Academy, the Junior Development Centre at Crookes (the "Properties") and certain parcels of land (the "Kop Sites") within the "Bramall Lane footprint" from Sheffield United Limited ("SUL") and the Scarborough Group (the "Scarborough Companies"), entities controlled by Mr Kevin McCabe. In short, this deal will no longer proceed as the Scarborough Companies wanted more money and more concessions from the Club than they agreed initially. As a result, the Club has no alternative but to resort to arbitration under the Property Call Option Agreements to determine the purchase prices for the Properties and to ensure that the Properties are transferred to the Club. It also appears that the Scarborough Companies have withdrawn their offer to sell the Kop Sites to the Club. The Club will take all necessary steps to ensure that Bramall Lane remains the long-term home of SUFC. We will also vigorously defend any claims put forward by SUL, including the outrageous suggestion put forward in the litigation that the price that SUL wants the Club to pay for the Stadium should be on the assumption that SUFC leaves Bramall Lane with the site being developed for residential housing. Two immediate consequences of the Scarborough Group's decision are that (i) the Club only has the right to purchase the hotel leasehold, not the hotel business and hence, we may be compelled to close the hotel until we find an operator and (ii) the Club will need to postpone plans to remove the support poles which currently obstruct views in the Kop. If the Scarborough Group follows through on threats not to sell the Kop Sites and instead develops the Kop Sites, access to the Kop may also be restricted. The Scarborough Companies have signalled an intention to build high density apartments in the areas behind the Kop and the John Street stand. The Club intends to object to any development which interferes with our fans' access to the stadium. 1 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
