davieG Posted 17 February 2018 Share Posted 17 February 2018 We went into admin because Wise was going to sue us for unfair dismissal which could have bankrupted us so we chose admin became a different company who he could no longer sue. Well something like that, that's not to say we weren't in a mess financially. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sold several players including Matt Piper, then ITVDigital collapsed (due to underhand tactics from sky), wrecking the tv money and putting us even more in the shit. Club went into administration, with the usual effects (creditors being paid a fraction of what they owe), which angered some people, and the ten point deduction was introduced in response to it. We didn't get the deduction though and were promoted in second, 12 points ahead of Sheffield United. 53 minutes ago, davieG said: We went into admin because Wise was going to use us for unfair dismissal which could have bankrupted us so we chose admin became a different company who he could no longer use.

They aren't getting relegated". Who said we aren't making it into Europe?! Yes we've had a few clangers lately but I'd say we're still in prime position to finish 7th (1 point behind Burnley is hardly a mountain to climb) and if a top 4 team wins the FA Cup we'll qualify in 8th anyway. Yes I'd love us to win the FA Cup ourselves of course! But to say our season is irrelevant because we can't get relegated or make Europe is absolute nonsense! The bookies think we're making Europe. We're evens to come 7th (Burnley 9/4, Everton 9/2*) and 5th favourites, behind the obvious four, to win the FA Cup. So according to the bookies, if we do come 7th and any of the top five favourites for the FA Cup win it, we're in Europe. * I actually don't think that's a bad price. They aren't far off it and have a decent run in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll tell you, the FA Cup in 1925! And they've averaged over 30k once in the last 45 years! Oh, and that's without mentioning their 1 season of top flight football in the last 23 years.

katieakita Posted 17 February 2018 Share Posted 17 February 2018 Yes remember it clearly they (Colin willy puller) was screaming for a 10pt deduction for us for going into administration which would have made a big difference so instead of finishing 2nd and 12pts ahead of 3rd we would have been 2nd and 2pts ahead of course we could have been really dirty and had 3 players sent off and trying to get a game abandoned. They still believe Sean Bean played upfront for them 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spudulike Posted 17 February 2018 Share Posted 17 February 2018 (edited) All joking aside, I'd genuinely like to know how some of these posters have decided they are a bigger club.

A 93 year trophy drought and average attendances that haven't exceeded 30,000 since 2007, the one time they were in the Premier League between 1995 and today, smacks of a pretty small club. Trophies won before anyone alive today was born aren't going to make you a big club unless you can back it up with modern success, which they categorically cannot do. Smaller fanbase, extremely modest history for the past 90 years, lower aspirations, they're smaller than us in every conceivable way. It must be a Yorkshire thing.

orangecity23 Posted 17 February 2018 Share Posted 17 February 2018 Sheffield United, big club? They're not even the biggest club in Sheffield for gods sake, let alone anywhere else, and one league win while Queen Victoria was alive doesn't change that.

The Doctor Posted 17 February 2018 Share Posted 17 February 2018 That thread one of them seriously saying they should have scored two, and could have had four, from a total of one shot on target that kasper saved comfortably. Deluded lads, second rate in Sheffield, spent less time in the top flight than Bradford in the last two decades. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weller54 Posted 17 February 2018 Share Posted 17 February 2018 Ah.. Bless their little hearts!

Rogstanley Posted 17 February 2018 Share Posted 17 February 2018 I can’t believe Sheff Utd fans even think it’s reasonable to compare themselves to us at this moment in time. We’re one of the most famous teams in the world and currently the 7th best team in the top division. They’re a bog standard championship no-hoper. If they can compare themselves to us then I can compare myself with Jesus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post CosbehFox Posted 18 February 2018 Popular Post Share Posted 18 February 2018 Playing games of my club is bigger than yours is a mugs game. But let’s get some facts in place Leicester City have won more major trophies in the past 20 years than Spurs, Everton, Villa, Newcastle, West Ham all put together. We are now getting to a stage where we have had as many PL seasons as Derby, Forest, the Sheffield clubs and soon we will go past Leeds. At what point does that ‘sleeping giant club’ so often in the Championship with 10,000 empty seats finally get dismissed as yesterday’s news? At what point do you take them away for the ‘built for Premier League’ line off them? Cos they aren’t. The Championship is full of serial failures of clubs who for 20 years plus have been a shambles. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Superb. Can't think what we've done to upset them that much. Or maybe they're just that bitter and twisted in general... I'm just surprised it took until 3/4 of the way down page 2 before anyone mentioned us going into admin. Bizarre that a club who haven't won anything since Hitler was a relatively unknown local politician still think they are some sort of sleeping giant. They're currently punching above their weight, if that last 40 years are anything to go by. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
