Sheff U - out of the frying pan into the fire

Sheffield United have ruled Stuart McCall out of the running to succeed Neil Warnock but have named Bryan Robson, Peter Reid and Dave Bassett as candidates.

United's plc chairman Kevin McCabe revealed Blades assistant McCall would be interviewed for the post vacated following Warnock's resignation on Wednesday.

However, club chairman Terry Robinson revealed McCall does not fit the criteria for The Blades' board, and neither does ex-Fulham boss Chris Coleman - another man touted for the role.

Robinson told United's official website: "Stuart has given good service to United and the last manager.

"He has gained good experience, and I'm sure that there will be interest in his services as a manager in the lower divisions.

"However, we didn't feel that he fulfilled all of the criteria in terms of experience at this stage.

"Stuart wanted another season in the Premiership and was bitterly disappointed, but I believe he has had offers already from several clubs.

"Chris Coleman is another that we have heard mentioned and, although he has good experience as a footballer and manager at the top level, he doesn't fit all of the criteria in terms of managing at Championship level."

With neither McCall nor Coleman possessing the necessary experience for United, Robinson admits his club could look to an older head.

"People know that we are looking for experience, so people like Bryan Robson, Peter Reid and even Dave Bassett would fit the bill in many ways."

At least if they appoint one of them there's no chance we'll get stuck with him.

I think McCall has took over at Bradford or is going to be taking over.

What made me laugh most earlier was the fact that Sheffield United are actually serious about the idea of a 21 team Premiership

My thougs exactly... kinda hoping Sheff Utd wind up with Pearce/Robson "dream team"

I though did occur... if Davies does leave Derby, might not Warnock be a very likley candidate for them?
