Sheffield Utd that could be us (3 Viewers)

[tigersb]

Watching their game against Man U today and there must have been about 6 players in their team who played against us in league 1
With the right signings could we achieve what they've done?
How many of our squad could make that sort of step up

Based on the first 70 minutes a lot of our squad would get in the United team.

 

[Tommo1993]

Sickeningly rich Saudi Prince owner and a pretty decent fan base. No brainer to see why the two clubs went in opposite directions.

 

[Evo1883]

We are two clubs on two completely different ends of the spectrum... Was even the case when they were in the same division as us

well 3 at least, Norwood, Fleck and McGoldrick

 

[Skybluefaz]

At least we seem to be heading in the right direction

 

[ccfcway]

all keeps coming back to the same point, our owners don't care

Double the crowds help though to attract better players

I thought Leon Clarke got loaned out somewhere but no he’s still there. He’s only been involved in 1 Premier League game and 1 League Cup game. His contract expires at the end of this season...dare I say it

O'Connell Moore and maybe Basham

A knob, but a good player

a relegation threatened championship club would snap their hands off for him in Jan

If my granny had a dick she'd be my grandad.

 

[fernandopartridge]

I liked Fleck while he was here but why was he at least a stone and a half heavier? Not arsed?

Not really no.

Not really no.

No, me neither

No chance.
They seem to have a decent owner with ambition. We have the trailer trash that is sisu capital.

Yeah, they've also got fans who generally stuck by them and didn't fuck off in their droves at various relegations.

Rubbish. Robins has had money to spend, some of it spent wisely some of it not so. More than most League One clubs.

And let’s not forget we’ve been offering better and presumably bigger contracts than teams in our division for a while. Ogogo and Brown last season and Allen, McFadzean and Marosi this.

 

[Tommo1993]

Tbf the blades have always had a bigger and better fan base than ours.

 

[pusbccfc]

If people of Coventry gave a shit, we could have bigger crowds than them.

We're a one city club but despite our problems, the bandwagon bunch haven't turned up enough.

Turned up ? Where, Birmingham ?

 

[robbiekeane]

well they can get to wembley

Considering Sheffield has two major clubs and Sheffield's population is not double Coventry's, I wonder how many supporters in Sheffield switch their allegiance based on which club is the most successful at any given time. It would be interesting to know how many supporters have staunch allegiance to one club or the other.

Jesus Christ. I gave some of your posts the benefit of the doubt but this is insane

 

[Tommo1993]

So some City fans would flit between Coventry City and the laughing stock that is Cov Utd depending on level?

 

[pusbccfc]

At the Ricoh, when they never bothered.


Similar, or even smaller cities and towns have been down at league 1 getting far bigger crowds.

 

[The coventrian]

Your bitching to the wrong person.
Anyway,don't most clubs attendances drop after a relegation or is this just another ccfc exclusive thing?

Money through player sales yes?
Let's not kid ourselves that sisu themselves have invented as they havent.

Yes through player sales. What will make you happy? If we keep every player and spend money we don’t have?

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

It's a perfectly legitimate way to run a club at our level and we're far from the only ones doing it. What is disingenuous though is to paint it as investment from the owners-if anything things have improved with the owners focussing on their legal blind alleys while leaving day to day management to Boddy and co. We are able to spend a % of what we bring in and we've brought in a lot from transfer fees. That's it.

Too much sun and fox news.
