Relegation confirmed. Where do the Blades go from here?

The doom and gloom of relegation, for many parts of the 2023-24 season, has been a long-drawn conclusion and more of a matter of when rather than if. Today’s fixture at Newcastle United looked promising after Chris Wilder’s United took the lead through Anel Ahmedhodzic’s perfectly timed execution after five minutes. However, the Toon Army hit back with five goals to win the match 5-1.

In contrast, the Blades were unfortunate not to trouble the St James Park club further after twice hitting the woodwork, whilst Andre Brooks flashed an effort wide, and Ben Brereton-Diaz was denied from close range.

Defeat also hammered the nail in the relegation coffin which has haunted the Blades for the past few months – although a cliché, one game doesn’t result in relegation.

As a support, it doesn’t hurt. It wasn’t a surprise, but more of a relief. It’s done. It’s over, now, lets move on and look ahead to next season.

How United will move on will remain to be seen. The squad looks threadbare and an overhaul will look likely. As a supporter, what changes would you make? Comment in the link below…
