Kept Bournemouth up because we were dog muck (Cooper benefitted from that too) and then after a solid start at Wolves he fell apart and was set to relegate them I'd you guessed it, we weren't so pony. I'd be very nervous with him but he starts well at clubs at least. The problem I would see with O'Neil is that we definitely wouldn't sack him when the time is right to get someone else in to push on like Bournemouth did We would stick with him for way too long 4
Noahfence Posted 6 July 2025 Posted 6 July 2025 I basically don’t want anyone we’re linked with or it’s likely to be so that’s interesting
Lad1966 Posted 6 July 2025 Posted 6 July 2025 Give it to king - all the others names are going to take us backwards and rob us blind when we try to sack them. Rather go with king, at least the fans will get behind king 4

It’s either because we are waiting on Rohl, or we are working our way down the list as we are being rejected. As bad as these clowns are, it makes zero sense to be sitting on our hands at this late hour.

They essentially hit a bad patch of form at the wrong time with the results in the image below. This also happened to Enzo, both sides bounced back but for Sheffield it wasn’t enough. And the playoffs are always a roulette. The question is more how he fits the club and I’m not sure his methods would work here. He has always carried the essence of a league 2 manager and I’m just not convinced that would work for us. it would be the same as when Holloway rocked up here, just an awful fit for the club. how can we be progressive then go for someone who’s shaped from 90s football. I just can’t see it being anything other than a disaster. hope I’d be wrong, but my gut tells me this is a terrible appointment That's quite eerie - losing to Millwall and Plymouth back to back, exact matchdays we lost to both as well
Muzzy_no7 Posted 6 July 2025 Posted 6 July 2025 Hiring O’Neil makes no sense when he failed at two clubs smaller than ours. His successors then did significantly better too. 3
Dan Posted 6 July 2025 Posted 6 July 2025 6 hours ago, Tiny earl said: From what I heard from a colleague who knows Ian Woan, we won’t pay him and Dyche what they want. They also feel they’ll be at a premier club by Christmas! Now that’s optimistic or delusional. Wouldn't surprise me. Dyche has every right to turn his nose up at us. Even Rohl I think is a freak scenario where he's working for just about the only owner more of an idiot than our own. Why any manager worth his salt would want to work under this lot I've no idea. A track record of lying and screwing over the managers they appoint. 2
Wasyls Pec Deck Posted 6 July 2025 Posted 6 July 2025 Has there been a link with Gary O’Neil or something?

If the reactions here are typical of the club's fans the void is causing the damage. A few simple statements to supporters without giving details would be helpful and stop some of the wild speculation

In all honesty mate I have no idea, I think no one does. The reality imo is that the club are linking out other names as a negotiating tool to put Sheff Wed under some pressure.

My guess is that we were banking on selling a player that would have meant we passed, but that didn’t materialize so we figured we’d already lost might as well fail by a little more and hope to balance for the next season 1
Loxm Posted 6 July 2025 Posted 6 July 2025 A couple rumours on Twitter right now - two people suggesting some staff at the club haven’t been paid.. if that was true, we’re defo not paying compensation. also you’d imagine they would have kept ruud on. I’ve linked the tweet in the king power out thread 1
Dan Posted 6 July 2025 Posted 6 July 2025 It's such a terrible operation that it's at the point of being just bizarre - you do wonder if there is actually something else going on and there is a sale etc.. I just cannot explain this level of incompetence. I don't think we'll quite go down again like some do but I do think this lot have the potential to take us there in the next few years if they aren't hounded out. I think other than Sheffield Wednesday there isn't a club with such inept ownership in the top two leagues. Even Sheffield Wednesday, as terrible as Chansiri is I do wonder where we'd actually be if he'd inherited us in 2018. To fall from that to this now is barely believable.
