WANTED. New owner with ambition and deep pockets plus a Manager with knowledge of football.

Believable0 Unbelievable0

I am writing to apply for the Managerial position recently advertised. I can demonstrate an extensive knowledge of the game (unlike present manager) as for the last ten years I have seen how not to play football.
I understand that to win games one's team should try to keep a clean sheet while trying to score at the other end, and appreciate that playing wingers up front is not a substitute for a proven goal scorer.
I also understand that with no money available I would have to utilises what is at the club already. I am available to start immediately with no notice period or compensation package required.
I would require a salary of £20,000, enabling further funds to be placed into the first team squad.

WANTED:
Fans with less selective memories.
Fans with who do not claim to be loyal when they want the owner who saved us, out.
Fans who do not threaten to stop going to the matches due to a less than productive campaign.
Fans who don't keep on harping on about Megson, for some bizare reason.
Less none Owls supporters on our page.

Will people stop moaning & take a step back for a moment. We have played 6 games in the league. I admit it hasn't been a great start but not as bad as some would have you believe. You can't just keep changing managers after each blip in form, that's part of why we got in such a mess to start with. I've said it before & will repeat again, I'm not DJs biggest fan but we need to give him time, realistically we should be aiming for mid table, he's taken us forward each season so far in his brief reign so give him a break.

Agree with the "will people stop moaning" post, if we were to sack DJ who would do a better job on his budget UTO

Agree0 Disagree0

Thank you UTO. I understand why people get frustrated but too many want a quick fix not just at our beloved Owls but across all football clubs. Just you watch another defeat for Chelsea this weekend and The Special One will be getting some right grief. Too many go chasing the dream of reaching the Prem League and that is rightly where our fans want us to be but we need some realism. MM has staedied the ship and we are far better placed now than in anytime over the past 15 years. If he doesn't want to spend loads on new players then that's his right, why should he plough his own personal money into the club. Now if he was plundering all the revenue out of the club into his own pockets we would have grounds for being angry but as far as we know this is not the case so we should continue to thank him for saving our club and give him time to find the right kind of buyer. Meanwhile let's just look at Sheffield United Arab Emarites & laugh!

You say stop moaning about DJ but all our Sheffield we'd teams are poor u21s lose every game what have we got coming through

Agree0 Disagree0

Clearly a couple of people have a mindless grudge and have turned this forum into we want Gary Megson back. It will not happen so move on and realise we have not lost in 4 games. The team lacks a bit of confidence and we are short of a couple of players. All this moaning will not help unless that's what you want.
Remember who ever is in charge can't do much if they have no money / limited funds.

If this carries on we'll be down by march along with Yeovil. Hence, relegated in 6 months. Carp chairman/owner and carp manager. Inevitable outcome really so we shouldn't be shocked by the state of affairs at Hillsborough. It all started at the beginning of last season. If DJ and MM are still at the helm in 2 years time we'll be relegated from league 1 too.

What sort of carp? crucian, common?
eiher way they can be caught with some nice boilies on a 5lb line.

Agree0 Disagree0

Stop talking carp!

What sort of comment is that about things started at beginning of last season, where have you been for the last 10 years mate. Last season we gained >50 points in one of the most evenly contested championships ever in our first season back, what did you realistically expect.

Agree0 Disagree0

Specialist in unreal expectations and likes to share his misfortune in life with the rest of us and blame others for hot having same downer on team.

How is it a little club compared to the size of us can get investment i. e Sheff Utd? Does MM have no contacts? Or does nobody simply want to own or invest in us? We are told that the debts have now been cleared and the club is stable blah blah blah but who's to say this is true? MM? the same man who told us that we had a three season plan to get to the premier league? The same man who said that financially we can compete with other clubs in this league only six months ago? The same man who said we are a very attractive club for any potential investor? The same man that told us that he would back Dave Jones in the transfer market with regards to a much needed striker? The same man that told us that Dave Jones was a real coup for this club? I suggest not is all as it seams at SWFC. Where have the American investors gone? The Chinese investors? Have they been privilege to something that's been kept quiet from the fans?

Player recruitment has been pretty shambolic ever since MM first arrived. Remember all the dross first brought in under Alan Irvine (worst manager in history)? Even under Megson we had jokers such as Bennett, Mike Jones and Prutton who was never good enough even in League One. It sure is a mess now and although Jones must shoulder the blame, MM and PA are equally guilty.

If a player isn't performing he gets dropped or moved on. If the manager isn't performing ie Dave Jones shouldn't he be put to the sword too?
