Sheffield United supporters have their say on where Blades need to strengthen and how much will be spent on transfers in The Star's big fans' survey
and live on Freeview channel 276
Inevitably, there will be tough decisions and discussions to be made and had. Some members of United’s remarkable journey in recent years, which was derailed by relegation next season, may be moved on; others may be kept on, but have their roles changed or diluted a little. Such is football, and such is life.
The good news for Jokanović is that the squad he inherits may not need too much major surgery. That’s certainly the view of the Blades supporters polled in our big fans’ survey, with just over 92.2 per cent of respondents believing that the club needs six or fewer additions this summer (34.7 per cent one to three signings, 57.5 per cent four to six).

Not many can see it happening, though; asked how much they thought United would actually spend, 35 per cent said £5-10m.
