Guest I Love Coffee Posted June 2, 2022 Share Posted June 2, 2022 If the takeover was a solid bid, it would've completed by now. Not sure who is worse for the club, the poorest Prince in the world, who has already loaned against future income, or this new guy. You have to feel this season was by far the best chance they had of going up. Much harder next season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiJ Posted June 2, 2022 Share Posted June 2, 2022 Sounds like a disaster if he takes over. Let's hope he can complete the purchase. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darra Posted June 2, 2022 Share Posted June 2, 2022 Could be a tricky deal probably due to as said the loans taken out hoping to get promoted which hasn't happened and who pays them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrickyTrev Posted June 2, 2022 Share Posted June 2, 2022 Well, after reading all of that I really REALLY hope this takeover happens. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The other failed playoff teams will do well to replicate it, Burnley are in a mess… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ever the pessimist Posted June 2, 2022 Share Posted June 2, 2022 Best wishes to Dave Bassett, after he revealed he has prostate cancer. He sounds confident it’s been caught in time and his treatment is going well. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I drove down Shoreham Street today. I’ve said it before but it bears repeating: they’ve got a cheek calling Hillsborough a rust bucket! That ‘kop’ looks like some scaffolding with pink cladding. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could make an argument that the sty looks decent enough from the inside, as they've filled in the corner and what not. But on the outside, it still looks like a dump. That stand next to the car park looks so sh*t. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Much harder next season We had a lot riding on United not going up this year, as far as the future of Sheffield football is concerned. Not going up this year is only the first step, but it’s an important one and I think things could start snowballing for them quickly. I think they’ve got another roll of the dice this year where they SHOULD still have enough to challenge automatic and are probably a shoe-in for top 6. After that? I think they could be f*cked. And f*cked in a way that makes us look relatively stable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Be surprised if Gibbs White goes back there next season, so that will be a big blow as he really was their best player and by some distance. Perhaps someone comes in for Berge too, though I did read that United's asking price is putting clubs off. Championship isn't at it's strongest at the moment and they are in a decent position to exploit that imo. Out of the three coming down, I'd say Norwich might be best placed to go back up, but then there is a question on whether they've got another promotion in the tank. By all accounts, Burnley are a mess and it looks like Watford are cost cutting. Hearing that Boro might be splashing a bit of cash after getting the Derby windfall and the likely sale of Spence to a PL outfit. Outside of that, I'm not sure the division is awash with quality sides. Edited June 2, 2022 by SiJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Outside of that, I'm not sure the division is awash with quality sides. It wouldn’t surprise me if the 3 relegated sides do exactly the same as last years did. Norwich will win the league (Fulham), Watford will go through spells of not looking all that but still finish second fairly comfortably (Bournemouth) and Burnley will struggle in spells but still end up in the mix (that lot). With the way the money is and these clubs yo-yo’ing, I’m assuming it’ll continue until it’s proven not to. Boro will be a problem with Wilder firmly seated now, and I’d expect West Brom to be better. Other than that.. well, I didn’t see Forest, Luton or Huddersfield being up there this year. It’s a division that doesn’t need sides “awash with quality” to cause United problems. Maybe this is the year you look at a Millwall or Bristol City to make a move. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheffield_dave Posted June 2, 2022 Share Posted June 2, 2022 Wouldn’t surprise me if Sunderland had a say as well. With backing, that’s a club that can really make finally getting some positive momentum count. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Turkish chap who's took them over is extremely ambitious from what's been said, I think they might make a decent push for top 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
