Michael Vaughan has claimed on Twitter that both Sheffield Wednesday and Sheffield United are badly run.

Both the Sheffield clubs are having a bad season. While the Blades look likely to get relegated from the Premier League, the Owls could find themselves in League One next season.

Wednesday are second from bottom in the Championship table at the moment with 28 points from 34 matches, as many as seven points behind 21st-placed Birmingham City, who have played 36 games.

It was only earlier this month that the Owls appointed Darren Moore as their permanent manager, with Tony Pulis having departed on December 28 after just 10 matches in charge.

On Saturday, United parted company with Chris Wilder. The Blades came up from the Championship under him and had a very good season in the Premier League in 2019-20, but things have been very tough this time around.

The Blades are at the foot of the Premier League table at the moment with just 14 points from 28 matches and are likely to go down.

Former England international cricketer Vaughan – who is a well-known Wednesday fan – believes that both the Owls and the Blades are badly run.
