    A cautionary tale if we get promoted.

    Yes, looks like the gulf in class between the established premier league teams and new boys is massive!

    I know what you mean, but clubs and players are desperate for it.

    Add that to the fact that VAR can be a pain in the ****ing arse and it does make you wonder whether it's really worth it.Obviously a massive cash injection if you achieve it but nowadays you'd need to spend,spend,spend to even try to compete,don't spend and you're embarrassed week in/week out?

    If we went up though we would definitely spend more money than Sheff Utd have spent, we'd have a better manager than Sheff Utd have and an infinitely better owner than Sheff Utd have!

    Teams like Brighton show it can be done given time. Never give up the hope.

    the manager will be using brighton (currently not in the bottom 3) as our cautionary tale and hopefully succeeding once there in a way previous managers couldn't.

    Noooo.
    Have to dream.
    And believe that Acun really will take us up AND turn us into an established PL side. Why not.

    Been saying for a few years the gap is getting ever wider, all the premier league money added to the FFP rules in the championship have ****ed it completely.

    Maybe he is from Sheffield or his family were.Can’t see someone born and bred wanting to support them. All the inadequate ****s opt for TWS and a team in red.

    Dare to dream? Been there done that. The first time with the joyous announcement, "administration was not an option. There was nothing to administer."
    Second time around, the owners got into the hole for about 100 million. Saved only by the huge increase in parachute payments, and a fair few quid in transfer dealings.

    Past history of course now, and the present owners may have a grand plan for the promised land should we get there.

    I’m a bit disappointed
    When I saw the score was 0-8 there was a couple of minutes plus injury time left
    I was really hoping for 0-10

    That was plenty of time for substitute Alexander Isak to pounce on another defensive error, turn his man and calmly finish to make it 8-0, the same score by which Newcastle beat Sheffield Wednesday in 1999.

    The result is also Sheffield United's record league defeat.
