Utah Owl Posted August 19, 2021 Share Posted August 19, 2021 It's a lovely thought, but let's keep our powder dry for a little while yet so we can better see how the season is shaping up. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stocksyuto Posted August 19, 2021 Share Posted August 19, 2021 If they produced this form last season they would have gone down because there was a lot of fight in the relegation spots. This year I can’t see them going down there is some really poor teams down there right now but it’ll be funny as foooook if they do Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bulldog Posted August 19, 2021 Share Posted August 19, 2021 Living with a Blade! (Yes I know) means that we have watched some of their games. Me and 'er indoors have managed to watch the first half of their 3 games (then she'd had enough) and they have been absolutely abysmal. I actually said to her last night that it reminded me of watching us last season 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beauchief Owl Posted August 19, 2021 Share Posted August 19, 2021 What with parachute payments plus another 24-30 million pounds for Ramsdale following a year in which Championship clubs have struggled financially, it would be absolutely incredible if the Blades ended up in a relegation fight or even finished in the bottom half of the division. OTH we do seem to be on the way up ATM. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OTH we do seem to be on the way up ATM. They have already spent two years parachute payments. If they dont go up will be on trouble. Cant see them reinvesting 40% of what they recouped on ramsdale. They wont go down not a chance. Be funny as fizz if they did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The goalie looked liked the school kid in the playground who couldn't play so they stuck him in the goal. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nbupperthongowl Posted August 19, 2021 Share Posted August 19, 2021 I don't get the meltdown after last night's game.... they are exactly the same as they were last season, albeit against lower ranked teams I assume that they thought that the championship was such poor quality even their poor players would thrive... not sure why they would think that One thing is for sure..... they aren't going up ahead of Fulham, West Bromwich, Bournemouth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thewookieisdown Posted August 19, 2021 Share Posted August 19, 2021 They won't go down. Probably. (Tho' Sunderland...) But: early days and all that.... It does seem more quite likely they won't be fighting a strong promotion campaign. Vaguely reminiscent of Stoke a few years ago. If you don't go straight back up it is easy to get stranded.... At which point further decline is at least as likely as a surge. When you consider what a strong position they were in less than eighteen months ago, with a semi-permanent premier league status within reach, it's really heartbreaking.

PEARSON Posted August 19, 2021 Share Posted August 19, 2021 We don’t half like setting ourselves up for a fall do we. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Green Calx Posted August 19, 2021 Share Posted August 19, 2021 There does seem to be a lot of similar things blade's fans are saying to what we were saying about our lot last season. Gutless, not interested, clueless. It's early days yet but it's lovely to see! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As well as their recruitment, ability of the management, having no cash, can't get rid of poor players.....oh and expensive mis firing strikers....

They also owe Bournemouth a sell on fee for Ramsdale, think I saw it was 15% on any fee over £19 million, so they won't be getting the full amount for him either Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spookone Posted August 19, 2021 Share Posted August 19, 2021 I actually put a whole £1 on them to win last night - they're not to be trusted! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest LondonOwl313 Posted August 19, 2021 Share Posted August 19, 2021 They won’t go down.. Brewster and McBurnie will do the business at that level as they were scoring regularly before moving to the PL Can’t see them being top 6 either though, probably 12-15th Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George Posted August 19, 2021 Share Posted August 19, 2021 United wont go down. Too much money and too many good players as well as a cracking manager. Don't lower yourselves to obsessing about them; it's tin pot and beneath you. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lincs Owl Posted August 19, 2021 Share Posted August 19, 2021 United have got parachute payments for the next three years, and millions coming in for their keeper. They wont stay in the bottom three for long. We were tripe last season, but even we would have stayed up but for the points deduction. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
