Relegation To Third Level After 23 Years
The Championship campaign started well for The Blades, drawing 1–1 away at Cardiff on the opening day of the season. However, results since then have not been favourable, recording six losses in the first nine games of the season. Kevin Blackwell was subsequently sacked as manager after two league games, with Gary Speed taking over, before leaving to manage Wales after a matter of months. After a caretaker spell by John Carver, the club subsequently appointed Micky Adams, without an improvement in results, leaving the Blades bottom of the table by early April. On 30 April 2011, Sheffield United were relegated to League One after the results of relegation rivals Doncaster Rovers and Crystal Palace meant that a 2–2 draw at home to Barnsley was of no relevance.
