He really is taking the p!ss now..........just seen the post below-still no harm in a double post

http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/s/sheff_utd/7754524.stm</p><div class="mxb"> <h1> Blades suffer for 'Tevez affair' </h1> </div> <table width="226" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0" align="right"> <tbody><tr><td> <div> <div class="cap">McCabe says the Blades are still paying Premier League wages</div> </div> </td></tr> </tbody></table> <p class="first">Sheffield United chairman Kevin McCabe has blamed the club's losses for the financial year ending 30 June on the 'Carlos Tevez affair'. </p>

The Blades recorded an operating loss before interest and tax of &pound;3.5m, having posted a &pound;2.7m profit the previous year. </p>

McCabe blamed the loss on relegation from the Premier League in 2007. </p>

West Ham stayed up at the Blades' expense, despite an arbitration panel ruling Tevez was ineligible. </p>

In a statement, McCabe said: &quot;One can only ponder as to the potential turnover and profitability that may have been achieved were it not for the circumstances and events emanating from the media-named 'Tevez affair'.&quot; </p>

The club maintained their salary spending on the first-team squad at Premier League levels to increase the chances of promotion. </p>

The Blades reduced their football-related bank debt by &pound;7.2m. The football debt remains at just over &pound;3m. </p>

McCabe added: &quot;Turnover in 2008 was &pound;32.1m, a reduction from the &pound;44.2m of 2007, arising from our unjust relegation from the Premier League in May last year and thankfully limited due to the success of our off-the-field interests.&quot; </p>

Do any Blunts actually believe that the real reason they didn't stay up was because they arn't actually good enough? No, thought not.</p>

They're thicker than bleedin' pigswill!

I enjoy reading articles like that

The angst and sense of mistreatment they clearly feel delights me</p>
