Gary Speed may have played his final game after Sheffield United revealed he needs a back operation that could keep him out for the rest of the season.

The Welsh midfielder, 39, won the old First Division title with Leeds in 1992 and scored in every Premier League season until he dropped a division.

United boss Kevin Blackwell said Speed could take up a management for coaching role with another club.

Blackwell added: "I am getting used to being without him as a player."

yeh but my thread is better!

No problem with that, better but slower.

I wonder if that is anything to do with the delay - just making up conspiracy theory's - that Speed was No 1 choice and Sheff Utd wanted too much, now this has come out Fitton & Co may quickly try again and get him cheap and get their No 1 appointment, and delay things with choice No 2 just in case ?

There must be some reason this is such a slow process when they have identified who they now want.
