sheffield_dave Posted March 17, 2022 Share Posted March 17, 2022 It's looking tight again. Millwall on a charge and I think Forest are the best side in the division at the minute other than Fulham. Boro can't be discounted under Wilder either. Still think West Brom could yet have a say. It actually wouldn't surprise me if 3 of the 4 sides currently in the play-offs lose out. Fingers crossed United still don't make it even if they do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BridportOwl Posted March 17, 2022 Share Posted March 17, 2022 Be more than happy to see United make the play off finals and endure yet another soul crushing defeat in front of the eyes of the world. Perhaps miss a last minute penalty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Posted March 17, 2022 Share Posted March 17, 2022 Rowett getting it together at Millwall. I wonder what he might’ve done here had he got the job after Bruce left? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he is a better manager than Monk but players not being paid for so long, players contracts running out and not wanting to get injured, the minus 6 deduction etc, I just think we were going down no matter who was in charge 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

g-owls Posted March 19, 2022 Share Posted March 19, 2022 If Forest make the play-offs they will go up. As a previous poster said, excluding Fulham they are by far the best side in the league by a distance. They should have destroyed the pigs the other week. It would be nice to see someone like Luton get promoted, primarily because it shows that you don’t have to spend millions to compete in the Championship. Nathan Jones has done a remarkable job at that club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrucieBonus Posted March 31, 2022 Share Posted March 31, 2022 United posted a £9.5m profit, not so much in the poo that some lead to believe, accounts seem to show performance heavily factored into wages, with large drops in salaries with relegation… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Off the top of my head, United in the last 12 months alone have sold a player for massive profit, will have received parachute payments and taken out a couple of big loans. How do they factor into a headline figure of £9.5m profit? Not saying you’re wrong btw, I’m no accountant (or can barely even count) - the devil is just usually in the detail. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The sale of Ramsdale hasn’t gone into those accounts apparently, they’re to be factored into the next set of accounts, but also the cost of sacking Slav will be in those too.

Ah, OK. As I say, I’m no accountant! What I will say is some of the sensible Blades I know aren’t exactly jumping for joy.. or have any of their fears settled by this.

kirksandallowl Posted March 31, 2022 Share Posted March 31, 2022 If it doesn’t include the ramsdale sale it also doesn’t include the effects of relegation to the the championship with players on higher wages than last time they were here 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be quite worrying for me, then. These accounts basically just show them when they were in the PL with two seasons big down payments. It'll be the next set of accounts which will show the true figure. I have no idea if good or bad. Seems to be a split feeling amongst Blades fans. Some think they're fine, others are a little concerned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
