March 30, 20178 yr Author Attendance yes I would they are still big. But not on performance over the last few years in the league discounting their FA Cup runs.
March 30, 20178 yr Attendance yes I would they are still big. But not on performance over the last few years in the league discounting their FA Cup runs. Obviously based on performances/results in the last few years and languishing in League One, they're not. But I'm not sure you can base a clubs size on the last 7 years of underachievement. Sheffield United are clearly bigger than the likes of Bournemouth and Swansea, but currently they're below both in the football pyramid.
March 30, 20178 yr When I used the label big club I meant looking at things over the whole course of footballing history in England - in that way they are a big club in comparison to the division they're in. In the same way as Bournemouth are a small club in the premiership and Burton in the championship!
March 30, 20178 yr They'll probably still find a way of bottling it somehow :P I hope so! Have money on Bolton to win League 1 (after several seasons in a row of betting on Sheffield United), absolute kick in the teeth if this is the season they win it.
March 30, 20178 yr Hope Fleetwood sneak into the championship - spread the wealth!! Though Rosler usually falls at the final hurdle - like with Brentford etc!
March 31, 20178 yr Author Really hoping Fleetwood can make the Championship. It will be an remarkable achievement. That's true with a big club you would describe them as teams that have happened during the course of English football history. I think now yes I can't say teams aren't a big club just because they've had seven years of underachievement. Completely agree with what you say, Steve201 & OutstandingMixer.
April 9, 20178 yr Sheffield United end their 6 year exile in the third tier by winning promotion to the Championship again and manager Chris Wilder doing what Neil Warnock last did 20 years ago winning back to back promotions with two different sides after leading Northampton to promotion in League 2 last year!
April 16, 20178 yr Bolton lost, making Sheffield United champions. Coventry are in the fourth tier for the first time in 58 years.
April 17, 20178 yr Can Sheffield United stop winning please. I don't want them to beat our 99 points tally from 2015 :lol:
April 19, 20178 yr Author Still very much open for the second promotion spot between Bolton, Fleetwood, Scunthorpe and mathematically Bradford.
April 19, 20178 yr Yes, they did. The result was 0-0 and the match report is here. http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/39561945
April 23, 20178 yr Crucial game in hand for Port Vale this week against Walsall. If they win, it goes to the wire in terms of the last relegation place. Walsall were beaten by Coventry (already relegated) at the weekend.
April 23, 20178 yr Gillingham are on the verge of sacking their manager, and they have already lost one at the beginning of this season, practically getting close to be regulated. This time last year we were so close to getting promoted, than in the last 5 to 6 games completely lost the plot.
