mildatheart67 Posted March 12, 2021 Share Posted March 12, 2021 More from Guardian blog Hearing reports that an 80s Sheffield band are performing at the Chris Wilder press conference. Just can’t think who it might be or what song they may choose. Singer looks kind of familiar though. Don't you want me Baby Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even Sheffielders in team sports (Vaughan and Root) I like to see doing well. I'm also pleased to see anybody else from Sheffield doing well, actors, musicians, Astronauts (Sharman?) Anybody in any form of life from Sheffield I like to see doing well and bringing good (and much needed publicity) to our fair City. Everybody, that is except Sheffield United. It's not pretending, as a kid I was brought to up to love Sheffield Wednesday and in turn hate Their Rivals Sheffield United. It's never gone away, as I grew older I realised it was completely irrational, after all I'm from Sheffield, I love Sheffield, they're from Sheffield surely on this basis I should like them? No way! They're our Rivals and I don't like them, there's nothing better than beating them (ok maybe winning a Trophy, but even though beating them is currently unlikely it's much more likely than winning a Trophy!) and nothing worse than losing to them. So is it irrational? No, that's forgetting something called tribalism, my tribes the Owls and although there's plenty of other tribes out there, who I also want us to beat, the closest one are Sheffield United they're the nearest tribe, the one I see I every day (unlike most other tribes I only see on a matchday) the one who don't like us and are happy to see our pain and gleefully celebrate it not just on a match day but every day, at work, at play, in the pub, on the streets. How can anyone who supports us want to see this tribe do well? Certainly not me, after wanting to see my Club do well (which is always the most important) there's nothing better than seeing them doing poorly. It's completely irrational to any outsider but anyone in any tribe makes complete sense. Hate them? Yes. Want football without them? No i'd rather watch them fail but life without them just wouldn't be the same. BTW I'm please he's gone, he'd have got them back up next season. UTO!

Whitecap Owl Posted March 12, 2021 Share Posted March 12, 2021 the covid squad rules and extra subs did them in . bigger clubs could do a hockey line change with their squad depth Too bad for Wilder who did so much for the Blades.

hasthagotanycheese Posted March 12, 2021 Share Posted March 12, 2021 A few Blades that I know are suggesting that they appoint the current German manager as Wilders replacement. This would be a new Loew even for United. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Owl Be Back Posted March 12, 2021 Share Posted March 12, 2021 It's an ongoing argument with recruitment policy between Wilder and the owner. Wilder wants players to invest in over the future, growing talent, etc. Owner wants to look more into foreign markets to get oven-ready talent. The catalyst for this coming to a head is the £22m spent on Brewster and him not hitting the ground running. Looks like Wilder is walking of his own accord because he may no longer have the control he wants over recruitment but I wouldn't be surprised if he ends up staying. Hope he goes though, he been brilliant for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
