Kit

[edit]

In April 2014, United announced that they had agreed a deal with German sportswear company Adidas to produce the team kit for the 2014–15 season and beyond, ending the club's previous association with Macron.[1] This was followed in June with DBL Logistics being unveiled as the club's secondary shirt sponsor until 2016,[2] and in July by the announcement of luxury car dealers, John Holland Sales as the club's main shirt sponsor.[3] In September United released a third kit, featuring a yellow and black shirt, sponsored by Topspring.[4] On 17 October, Sheffield United announced a two-year deal with local business Blue Portal Telecoms with their logo appearing on the shorts of the first team.[5]

Season overview

[edit]

Pre-season

[edit]
Craig Alcock joined United in July 2014.[6]
South Yorkshire born Andy Butler joined United in June 2014.[7]

On 16 May 2014, Sheffield United released their retained list; Darryl Westlake, Matt Hill, Shaun Miller, Sean McGinty, Elliott Whitehouse, Jasper Johns, Jordan Hodder and Jahmal Smith were all released. Chris Porter was also on the released list, however Nigel Clough confirmed that the club was still in negotiation with him over a new contract.[8] The retained list also confirmed that Mark Howard, Bob Harris and Terry Kennedy had all had their contracts extended.[8] Three days later United signed Jamal Campbell-Ryce on a two-year deal after his release from Notts County, and paid an undisclosed fee to Livingston for Marc McNulty who signed a three-year deal.[9] On 5 June, United announced another double signing with Chris Basham joining on a three-year deal from Blackpool and South Yorkshire born Andy Butler joining on a two-year deal from Walsall.[7] The subsequent week both Ben Davies and Chris Porter signed one-year deals,[10] followed another week later by Tranmere Rovers midfielder James Wallace.[11] As manager Nigel Clough continued to reshape his squad there was continued speculation around the future of defender Harry Maguire with reported interest from Hull City and Wolverhampton Wanderers, with offers of around £1.5 million being rejected by United.[12] On 25 June, Febian Brandy was released halfway through his two-year contract, exactly a year to the day from him joining the club.[13] The following week, striker Lyle Taylor was sold to Scunthorpe United for an undisclosed fee after only a year at Bramall Lane.[14] Meanwhile, off the field, co-owner Prince Abdullah was appointed to a government role in his home nation of Saudi Arabia and as such stepped down from his position on the board, installing his advisor Jim Phipps as his replacement in the role of co-chairman.[15]

Striker Michael Higdon joined United in August 2014.[16]

July began with Callum McFadzean joining Burton Albion on a six-month loan deal,[17] and with pre-season training underway, defender Craig Alcock was added to the squad on 15 July.[6] Three days later another defender was added to the squad as Blackpool youngster Harrison McGahey was signed for an undisclosed fee.[18] United kicked off their pre-season fixture list on 19 July but suffered a disappointing 4–0 defeat at Burton Albion with Callum McFadzean, on loan from the Blades, numbering amongst Burton's goal scorers.[19] A trip to Northampton Town the following week earned United a better result as they drew 1–1 with their hosts.[20] On 25 July, George Long joined Oxford United on a six-month loan deal,[21] while the same evening United recorded their first win of pre-season when they beat Scottish Premiership side Dundee 4–2 at Bramall Lane.[22] On 29 July, incumbent Player of the Year, Harry Maguire, was sold to Premier League side Hull City for £2.5 million after months of speculation about his future at Bramall Lane.[23] The same evening the Blades suffered a narrow 1–0 home defeat at the hands of Huddersfield Town in the latest of their pre-season friendlies.[24] Two days later United beat Turkish Süper Lig champions Fenerbahçe 2–1 in a charity friendly in aid of the Soma mine disaster,[25] before completing their pre-season fixture list with a 2–0 loss to York City at Bootham Crescent on 2 August 2014.[26] With the start of the new season imminent, on 4 August United signed experienced striker Michael Higdon from Dutch side N.E.C. Nijmegen for an undisclosed fee on a two-year contract.[16]

Following the international break Andy Butler re-joined former club Walsall on an initial one-month loan,[37] and academy product George Willis joined Bradford Park Avenue on a short-term deal.[38] Returning the league action, United beat Rochdale 1–0 at Bramall Lane with Jamal Campbell-Ryce claiming his first goal for the club.[39] On 16 September, the Blades secured an away victory Colchester United, winning 3–2 after coming from two goals down.[40] On 20 September United's seven match unbeaten run came to an end away at Swindon Town in 5–2 defeat.[41] Three days later, United returned to winning ways with a 1–0 away victory over Leyton Orient in the third round of the League Cup.[42] United rounded off September with a 2–1 victory over Gillingham, scoring twice in the final two minutes to come from behind.[43]

[edit]

December began with a 1–0 home loss to Milton Keynes Dons.[72] The following weekend, United were 3–0 victors over Plymouth Argyle as Jose Baxter converted two penalties to send United to the third round of the FA Cup.[73] On 13 December, Sheffield United's first ever senior match with Fleetwood Town ended in a 1–1 away draw as youngster Kieran Wallace made his professional début.[74] On 16 December 2014, Marc McNulty scored the only goal in a 1–0 home victory over Southampton to send United to the semi-finals of the League Cup with youngster Che Adams making his senior début.[75] Back in the league United had another draw, this time at home to Walsall on 20 December with Chris O'Grady scoring his first goal in United's colours.[76] On 26 December, United's poor form in the league continued with a 2–1 away loss at Port Vale.[77] On 29 December, Brighton & Hove recalled O'Grady from his loan spell at United due to a striker shortage.[78] On 30 December, Sheffield United were fined £4,000 by The Football Association for failing to control the behaviour of coaching staff, in particular first-team coach Chris Morgan during the League Cup victory over Southampton.[79] The following day, Joe Ironside returned from his loan spell at Hartlepool United.[80]

The Blades in the Football League Cup Semi-finals with Tottenham Hotpsur at Bramall Lane in January.

January began with a 3–0 away victory over Queens Park Rangers of the Premier League with Jamal Campbell-Ryce scoring a second half brace.[81] Paddy McCarthy returned to Crystal Palace at the start of January[82] and on 6 January, Andy Butler was sold to hometown club Doncaster Rovers for an undisclosed fee.[83] On 10 January, United beat promotion rivals Preston North End 2–1 at Bramall Lane with Marc McNulty scoring his tenth goal of the campaign.[84] On 15 January, youngster Joe Ironside was released by United and joined Alfreton Town on an 18-month deal.[85] On 16 January, youngsters Otis Khan and Julian Banton joined Matlock Town on loan.[86] United's first loss of the calendar year came on 17 January at the hands of Milton Keynes Dons in a 1–0 defeat.[87] On 21 January, Tottenham Hotspur took a 1–0 lead in the first leg of the League Cup semi-finals at White Hart Lane with Andros Townsend converting a penalty after Jay McEveley accidentally handled the ball in the box.[88] On 22 January, Chris Porter joined Colchester United on an 18-month deal after being released by the Blades.[89] On 23 January, United brought in two players from Nigel Clough's former club Derby County, midfielder Paul Coutts who signed for an undisclosed fee and former loanee from last season Kieron Freeman joined on a free transfer; both players signed a two-and-a-half-year contracts.[71] The following day United announced the signing of John Brayford from Cardiff City on a three-and-a-half-year deal for an undisclosed fee.[70] The same day, United drew 1–1 away at Preston North End in the fourth round of FA Cup, with Diego De Girolamo scoring his first goal for the club, earning a replay at Bramall Lane.[90] In the League Cup semi-final second leg against Tottenham Hotspur on 28 January 2015 at Bramall Lane, with Spurs winning 1–0 at half time, Che Adams replaced Jamal Campbell-Ryce after 74 minutes and five minutes later he had scored his first goals for Sheffield United with two goals in just over two minutes, which would have taken the game to extra time had Christian Eriksen not scored his second goal of the match for Tottenham Hotspur in the 88th minute to win 3–2 on aggregate.[91] On 30 January, Stephen McGinn joined Dundee on loan for the remainder of the season,[92] youngster Jamie McDonagh joined Matlock Town on loan[93] and Jason Holt joined United on loan from Heart of Midlothian for the rest of the season.[94] The following day Jamie Murphy signed a new two-year contract and Terry Kennedy signed a new one-year contract however Diego De Girolamo declined a new contract with the club.[95] Later that day, United rounded off January with a 2–0 home victory over promotion rivals Swindon Town with Jamie Murphy coming off the bench in the second half and scoring a brace.[96]

[edit]
