Chris Wilder admitted he was “extremely disappointed” with the manner of Sheffield United’s defeat at home to Tottenham Hotspur this afternoon as the Blades signed off their Premier League season in familiar fashion. Dejan Kulusevski scored twice either side of Pedro Porro’s well-struck effort as United suffered their 28th defeat of a miserable relegation campaign. It was a familiar story for the Blades as they squandered some good chances to go ahead in the game before being pegged back, with...
Chris Wilder has signalled his intention to maximise every penny of his summer transfer budget after the latest Sheffield United takeover development raised hopes amongst supporters. As The Star revealed this morning the prospective new owners of the Blades influenced the decision to withdraw the contract option which had previously been promised to midfielder Ben Osborn. As well as signalling that the takeover bid is more advanced than first thought, the development has also raised fans’ hopes...
Chris Basham has been earmarked for a key Sheffield United role in the future after his playing days at Bramall Lane come to an end this summer. The club legend’s 10-year spell at United is in its final throes ahead of his summer release as he continues to rehabilitate from a horror injury he suffered earlier in the season at Fulham. Basham, still limping after the injury which has threatened his playing career, has been offered the use of United’s staff and Shirecliffe facilities to continue...
Sheffield United are planning to sell goalkeeper Ivo Grbic after a difficult start to life at Bramall Lane. The Croatian goalkeeper was signed by the Blades in the January transfer window for a reported fee of around £2.5m, according to the Daily Mail. The 28-year-old instantly became the club’s first choice goalkeeper ahead of Wes Foderingham, but was unable to make a positive impact on the club’s poor performances as he shipped in 32 goals in his 10 appearances for the Premier League’s...
Man City fans seething over a penalty claim not give in the FA Cup Final. Pep Guardiola's men are denied the double as Man United win 2-1 at Wembley. Have Chelsea offered Manchester United a way out of the Erik ten Hag darkness through Mauricio Pochettino's exit? -
Manchester United fans have called for Raphael Varane to stay after his inspired performance in their FA Cup final victory. The defender played his final game for the club in their 2-1 win over Man
George Baldock has described signing for Sheffield United as “the best decision I ever made” after seven years at Bramall Lane came to an emotional end yesterday. The Greece international will leave the Blades when his contract officially expires this summer, to move to Panathinaikos in Athens. A bargain signing from MK Dons, Baldock helped United to two promotions into the Premier League and a ninth-placed top-flight finish during his time in South Yorkshire and captured the hearts and minds of...
Arsenal boasted about their FA Cup record on social media, moments after Manchester United were crowned 2024 champions. Literal seconds had passed following the final whistle at Wembley when the Gu
Work is already underway at Sheffield United as Chris Wilder prepares for a major summer rebuild ahead of their Championship return. The Blades finished rock-bottom of the Premier League and were long considered favourites to go back down, with performances far from good enough to stand any chance of survival. Wilder suggested earlier this month that some tough decisions were on the horizon and the club have since confirmed that a number of senior players will leave upon the expiry of their...
The summer departures of long-serving trio Chris Basham, George Baldock and Ollie Norwood not only leave three gaps in Sheffield United’s already-threadbare squad but a gaping chasm in the dressing room as well. The lack of leadership amongst United’s squad has never been more apparent than this season, which has seen United drop into the Championship having conceded a Premier League record number of goals and register just 16 points from their 38 games. Being robbed of the services of Basham...
This was the emotional moment that Sheffield United supporters bade farewell to three of their recent icons ahead of their summer departures. The Blades confirmed in midweek that multiple promotion=winners Ollie Norwood, Chris Basham and George Baldock would be released this summer. The pair joined fellow departing key men Wes Foderingham and Max Lowe, who both started against Tottenham Hotspur at Bramall Lane this afternoon, in a pre-match presentation of a framed montage showing their best...
James McAtee hopes that Sheffield United can bounce back to the Premier League at the first attempt after his two-season loan spell came to an end - and refused to rule out the possibility of a third in the future. The Manchester City youngster helped United into the top-flight last term before returning last year for a first crack at the top-flight. Five goals and four assists was a decent return in a Blades side that struggled in the Premier League and picked up just 16 points all season on...
