Jimmy Dunne: Hardly impressed |
Remember when Sheffield had two clubs in the top league? Such a thought may become a distant memory for
folk from the steel city as the red and white side of Sheffield find themselves
sliding into oblivion. The latest chapter has seen manager David Weir sacked
after a mere 13 games in charge and with the club in the relegation zone of
League one – that’s the old third division for you traditionalists! Gone are
the glory days of Tony Currie and the legendary Jimmy Dunne to be replaced by
the humiliating scene of being tonked at home by Hartlepool in the cup during
midweek.
And all of this has happened despite the enormously generous
boost of a ‘compensation’ pay out from West Ham of £20 million from the
Tevezgate bungled paperwork affair and. More recently, the support of new
owner, multi-millionaire Orince Abdullah who had bankrolled a host of new
signings for this season in the expectation that the Blades would slice their
way up the league. However, they have managed only 7 goals in 13 games and are
currently the laughing stock of League One languishing in 22nd
place!
Ironically, the city’s motto is "Deo Adjuvante Labor Proficit" (With God's help our labour is
successful)….. Whatever could the Blades have done to deserve
such dreadfully bad luck? Hmmmm.
