Nowt on SSN yet though...

 

 

He'll struggle to get another job I reckon.

I'm pretty sure that the Sheffield United fans hated him. He'll probably have to drop down a tier if he wants another job.

Time to give it up methinks, fantastic player but should give up the managerial lark now, clearly not cut out for it.

[Guest alex]

Aye, helluva player. And drinker.

I dunno he's not done that bad considering all things (he was hardly managing Man U or Real Madrid), but management these days is really a mugs game (look at Chelski and I would bet whomever takes over Man U after Fergie).

Do you reckon he'd have done at job with either of those clubs like? And to think you don't rate Sven.

He had his moments at Boro but has largely failed at the clubs he's been at.

Awful manager.

 

Allardyce for Sheffield United, heard it here first.

[Asprilla 96]

Also really, really, really dull.

Some jumping the gun gone on..he hasn't been sacked. Still only a stay of execution. It was doomed from the start.

[Chaser 1321]

definitely gone

Sheffield United tonight (Thursday) announced that team manager Bryan Robson has left Bramall Lane.

 

Chairman Kevin McCabe had held lengthy discussions with Robson regarding a new role as part of a root and branch review of all football matters at the championship club.

 

However, Robson opted to leave, along with number two Brian Kidd.

 

The Club recognises the need to improve its football infrastructure, ensuring that there is a clear link between the ambitions of success at first team level, and the youth development system and its overseas affiliations in China, Brazil, Hungary, Belgium and elsewhere.

 

Chairman Kevin McCabe said: "I was keen to see Bryan Robson take up this head of football role but, regrettably, this was not to be and so he departs - along with Brian Kidd - with the best wishes of all at Sheffield United.

 

"Supporters should not underestimate the sterling and dedicated expertise and time put in by Robson and Kidd in overhauling the whole of the Blades football divisions."

 

Replacing the pair until the end of the season will be former Blades number two, Kevin Blackwell, assisted by Sam Ellis.

 

Terry Robinson will be stepping down as chairman of the football club board at the end of the season but will stay on as a director.

 

Mr McCabe said: "Bryan goes with our best wishes. Over the last two days I have spent a lot of time reviewing the club's football matters.

 

"I had hoped Bryan would take up a new role at the club but in the end that was not to be. Kevin and Sam are in until the end of the season when we will take stock.

 

"They both know the situation and, most of important of all, know how we are determined to take this club forward. That will include the pursuit of a football supremo to oversee a new football structure at the club."
