I'm very confident that at the beginning of this season no Sheffield United fan predicted we would be staring down the barrel of a relegation shotgun.
In August 2010 we were all complaining about a certain Kevin Blackwell and the awful excuse for football he was subjecting us to, even though we had been getting results in previous seasons. All we wanted was to see the ball played on the pitch instead of in the air above it. Bad results in the first 3 games caused the board to sack the manager and it's fair to say that pretty much every Sheffield United fan saw this as a turning point and though of Gary Speed as our saviour.
Whether or not Gary would have turned things around and become the manager we'd all hoped shall never be known, and I don't think anyone holds any bad feelings towards him for taking the Wales job.
So here we are now, after Jon Carver did his best as caretaker manager we have appointed Mickey Adams, a lifelong Blade fan with a good reputation in the lower leagues. He didn't have the best start with us but in complete fairness he has inherited a very poor squad of players.
UTB!
