Blunt Blades back in the Championship
That second Wigan goal, a penalty from David Unsworth who left Sheffield United for Wigan only in January, was enough to see Wigan and their whinging chairman survive, but for the Blades it meant relegation with the news from Old Trafford that a Carlos Tevez goal had given West Ham all three points and safety.
It just had to be Tevez who got the goal, one of the two players whose signings have seen West Ham fined £5.5 million but survive a points deduction which would have surely seen them come down instead of the Blades.
So for Warnock and Sheffield United it is back to the Championship after just one season at the top, only Reading of last season's promoted clubs have survived with Watford also heading back.
