Is Kevin Blackwell going to back down, wipe the slate clean with a player he doesn't get on with and change his mind in regards to playing Billy, a player he has shunned for 2 seasons and deemed surplus to requirements on at least 1 occasion?

If he does then thats a severe case of "egg on his face" and rather humiliating in my book.

I heard a whisper that this has been done to force blackwells hand into accepting a smaller bid because he wont risk the humiliation of a complete 180 degree turnaround in regards to Billy, but who knows?

I hope your right, got to admit i thought there was too much bad blood between them, if he stays at the Blades will he just go back to warming the bench...maybe not the end of the story yet but it has to come to a conclusion soon for everyones sakes.. Rolling Eyes

Doesn't Blackwell also need to find £500k to buy Nosworthy? and apparently he needs to sell to generate any transfer funds because McCabe isn't giving him any money for transfers.

I now think that this move is a dead duck and that we should look toward filling the void. The move could resurrect itself if Billy is still getting splinters next season, but for now, we have to assume that it is a non starter IMO. I think with young Fairhurst and a fit Brooker, along with Copps and Shiels, we have a reasonable start in the forward line - maybe just need another addition to bolster the line - possibly a target man.
