Let Blackwell Manage The Hotel

Failing to get promoted is not the end of the world but there are two matches in a season that must be respected. Blackwell knows how important the derby match is but is unable to do anything about it. He gets compared to Neil Warnock but really there is no comparison. Love him or hate him Warnock would not have allowed a performance like that against the pigs.

The ground has gone from fortress Bramall Lane to a joke with a hotel in the car park. We seem to be more interested in buying obscure clubs from around the world than we are in buying players or appointing a decent manger. We cannot afford a decent striker but we can spend millions on pursuing a compensation claim that we will be lucky to see. There was a strong squad at the start of the season but after all the asset stripping there is not much left. We have sold quality and kept the dead wood.

After he was appointed as manager on a caretaker basis last season Blackwell did what Robson could not do and managed to get the team playing well and picking up results. He was given the job on that basis but this season has been completely different. He has made questionable signings with the funds he has been given. But more importantly the style of play and standard of football has been shocking.

We have lost the spine of the team for one reason or another in Speed, Ehiogu and Beattie. These are experienced premiership players that have not been replaced. If the season started now with the players available we would be at the other end of the table. Speed has been replaced with Monty and Ehiogu replaced with Brondby absolute genius! Then we discover they were actually trying to bring Andy Gray back to replace Beattie! If that is the best, we can come up with then abandon all hope.

Blackwell is a good coach but as a manager he is seriously out of his depth. He always fails when it comes to the big high profile matches. The fact he was given a contract extension owes more to his compliance with the asset stripping exercise than his qualities as a manager. If it were left up to McCabe then Robson would not have been sacked. As is usually the case Blackwell will remain in charge until there is a demonstration calling for his removal.

McCabe has done lots of good things for the club but since relegation football matters have not been a priority and poor decisions have been taken. If the club were serious about promotion, it would be adopting a more aggressive campaign. You do not do this by selling your best players and not replacing them. Let Blackwell manage the Hotel and appoint someone like McCall, Martinez or Ince as team manager then we might see progress on the pitch.
