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...
Sheffield United and Sheffield Wednesday are both in summer mode as of Monday, with the Premier League having concluded. Sheffield Wednesday wrapped up their campaign earlier in May, securing Championship safety on the final day. The Blades have known their fate for some time, but they have now checked off their last Premier League fixture, and it was another to forget. Though, just like with Wednesday, fans have continue to turn up to back their team. In that vein, we have rounded up a final...
Any given season is usually filled with sackings plenty, and both Sheffield United and Sheffield Wednesday have played their part in that this season. The Owls appointed Xisco Muñoz ahead of the start of this season, with Darren Moore making way following promotion. But Muñoz got off to a disastrous start, leaving Wednesday marooned at the bottom of the team, requiring the sacking of Muñoz and the appointment of Danny Rohl, who ultimately guided the club to safety. The Owls were not the only...
Sheffield United can take inspiration from both Leeds and Southampton after their relegation from the Premier League this season, manager Chris Wilder believes, ahead of the Championship play-off final which will decide which of the sides take their place in the top-flight. United’s Yorkshire rivals face the Saints at Wembley on Sunday afternoon. Both clubs dropped out of the Premier League a year ago and suffered something of a hangover in the summer but quickly banished it to launch an assault...
Wes Foderingham has opened up on his exit from Sheffield United this summer, admitting “it is time for a change” amid links with a potential Premier League transfer move. The former Rangers goalkeeper will leave Bramall Lane when his contract officially expires at the end of next month after failing to agree a new deal earlier this season. That situation led to him being replaced in the United side by Ivo Grbic before Foderingham regained his place for the season run-in, signing off with a...
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...
The Premier League is widely regarded as the best in the world by managers, players and officials but there are elements of it that Sheffield United certainly won’t miss when they return to the Championship next season. There will be, for the time being at least, no VAR. A more even playing field on the pitch. And none, or certainly far less, of the “dark arts” that top sides have become so adept at utilising. That isn’t to say that United haven’t been cute at times, going down at the right time...
