Blades set for sweeping cuts if promotion bid fails - Exclusive

Sheffield United face sweeping cut-backs if they fail to go up.

The Blades lie outside the Championship play-offs this term after two botched attempts to gain promotion following relegation in 2007.

And now Bramall Lane bosses plan to cash in on the likes of top scorer Darius Henderson should Kevin Blackwell’s side flop again.

United’s parachute payments have been spent and the £20million compensation owed by West Ham over the Carlos Tevez affair is spread over a further three years.


The Hammers have paid around £4m following an out of court settlement a year ago, but the remaining 80 per cent is due in periodic instalments.
