Alan Biggs on a new approach that rails against how Sheffield United have worked in the pastYou can’t make too many comparisons between the Uniteds of Manchester and Sheffield. When former Old Trafford boss Louis van Gaal recently branded his old employers as now “a commercial club, not a football club”, there was no apparent similarity. Yes, Bramall Lane’s new rulers want to tap into the Premier League and yes, they’ve taken a major business gamble.

Alan Biggs on what is needed from any new Sheffield Wednesday ownerRight, what sort of owner(s) do you want next at Sheffield Wednesday? And it’s not all about how much money they’ve got. Personally, I wouldn’t want anyone who talked about reaching the Premier League in X number of years. That’s what got Wednesday into this mess. Too much of what Ken Bates called “fritter money”, when he launched his failed bid for the club in 2004, is bad. As Leeds United were later to discover.

Alan Biggs on a week at Sheffield United that saw Chris Wildeer depart and Ruben Selles become the new boss For all the furore, it won’t be long before Chris Wilder’s crazy departure from Sheffield United is shrugged off and helplessly filed under “that’s football.”Which is just as terrifying for the game as a whole as the decision itself. The last time that file was opened at Bramall Lane was when Wilder left the first time - and that didn’t work out too well, did it? Initially at least.

Alan Biggs on what the future holds for Sheffield WednesdayHillsborough is the last place to find any solace or perspective right now. Except for one thing that towers above the current crisis. There will always be a Sheffield Wednesday … you can save that for if I’m wrong. If I am, Wednesday will be the only major English club forced out of existence. It ain’t happening.

Alan Biggs on where Sheffield United could look in the transfer market this summer It’s an easy starter on where Sheffield United need to improve next season - more power and thrust needed. The reason United fell short last season was that they didn’t score enough goals - right through to the play-off final when one wasn’t enough against Sunderland. Which might seem strange to say of a side that swept to a record aggregate 6-0 semi-final win over Bristol City.
