Sheff United delusional

    Ok I think I've reached my bull**** threshold.

    If Sheff Utd are a Top 10 Premiership team in the nest 5 years I'll eat my hat with mustard.
    Blades plc chairman Kevin McCabe is thrilled Robson has accepted the job and has promised the former Middlesbrough boss his full support.
    "I'm delighted to announce Bryan Robson's appointment as our new team manager," said McCabe.
    "Bryan's an experienced manager. We believe he is the team manager that will blend the squad, improve Sheffield United and get us back into the Premiership.
    "He's going to have every support from the board. This club intends to be amongst the top ten in the Premiership at least within the next three to five years.

    Let me just clarify, this club were just relegated no?
    I've nothing against clubs like Newcastle, West Ham etc aiming for Top 10 because they could easily achieve it. But if they havent this season, what hope does Sheff United have.
    I've heard some corker PR statements but this really takes the biccie.

    Have to agree.
    They're not flush with money and have a pretty ordinary squad.
    They'll be up against the likes of Wolves next season so it won't be easy to get back up again!

    along with Watford 2 of the worst teams to grace the Premiership -- with the same teams yo yoing , between the divisions, i think only 2 teams should be relegated -- so they can financially develop for a particular division, and not be so damn negative and direct.

    ten years ago Pompey were at the bottom of the olf first division and facing bankruptcy.

    A few quid and a good manager and top ten is possible.

    That's a full decade and of course anything is possible. But some things just aren't feasible no matter how impartial you try be.
