Because he took over from them when Warnock left after relegation. Turned a premier league team (or a very well established play-off team) into relegation fodder in 3 season's season. Did the same at Leeds - spent shit loads, complained he didn't have enough to spend and took them from play-off's to League 1.
I think I like most would prefer to see Thorn and Harrison given the job until the end of the season. I mean 2 games to prove their credential is harsh even by our standards.
Bobby Gould, and he's FREE.......
What's big Ron-the-Racist upto these days?
He may be a racist but Ol' Ron had star quality. It was like having a fat Movie Star as a manager, if you like...
Blades fan in peace! ^^^ That about sums it up. He's a bottler (2 failed Play-off finals), offered to resign after Burnley beat us at Wembley but, unfortunately our Chairman declined the offer.
Yes, a 42% win percentage certainly looks good on paper but, Christ is it painful to watch.

What sort of football did he get you lot playing?
we probably have our most balanced squad since relegation (ie a couple of players for every position).
Do you think foo?
There's just a massive sense of apathy towards the club at the minute, don't get me wrong I'd be pissed off if they were to appoint him - even if just till the end of the season - just don't really think people would be that bothered.

I'd maybe go for him in a temp role, most managers of his ilk do have the good start factor. That's all we need though, you just know if he kept us up he'd be signed on full time.
Here lies my arguement against this, Ranson isn't daft. He'd know appointing Blackwell long term at this moment in time would not be recived well and as you say I still think enough care to get down there with placards, if he comes in short term and lifts the team as generally any new manager does it would be much easier come the summer to give him the job full time.
At this stage of the season I'd take watching Westwood being fired from a cannon from one goal to the other with the ball in his hands over nice football, as long as it gets some god darn results
yes it may bring back a few thousand fans but they will soon dwindle away if the results aren't there claiming we're too lightweight or we try to pass it into the net.
If true, this is not a great appointment in my book and just shows the ambition of the club. Someone who can work with a tight budget basically means you have no money to spend gaffer so beg, borrow and steal players. Unless they give our next manager a decent amount of money we will not change and we will see Mr Blackwell sacked in the next 12 months.
If it is Blackwell then I am not getting a season ticket next season.
