hmm tell me what mourinho had won before he went to Porto? perhaps they should have gotten somebody with a better track record as well eh 36081[/snapback] Are you saying we SHOULDN'T get someone with a track record? Besides, didn't we try and get Mourinho? 36087[/snapback] My guess is he is saying you can't judge a persons track record based soley on the myopic view of how many trophies they have won. There's a wee bit more to it than that.

So you list a bunch of managers who have won nothing, what does that prove? I wouldn't want any of them here anyway. But you are being very limited on your concept of success anyway. Many of those you've listed have only been a manager for a relative short period of time. Many have demonstrated much better league performances over the years than Souness on very limited budgets. Take Curbishley - he has establish Charlton as a premiership club and yet has spent less in the last ten years than Souness has in the past 2 months. It would be no surprise if they finish above us - like they did last year. So you have completely failed to show why Souness is a good manager because basically you can't, you are essentially basing his last 10 years in management as a success based on one league cup. Wow. And I haven't even mentioned all the bad stuff he has done - like being sacked from nearly every post he has got. I firmly believe Newcastle are a top 5 club, maybe even top 3, which is why I think we need a proven manager to get us there - just like the established top 5 clubs in this country presently have. Because as his CV shows, Souness is not the man. And yes, quite frankly you're boring me too.

Justify that statement please. It's bullshit basically.

Except no, he hasn't won something at every club he's been at. Two minor trophies in 13 years etc, etc. It's utterly ridiculous to compare him to Hughes either (not aimed at you Alex). Souness left Blackburn in a much worse state than Robson left us, and Hughes hasn't had 50 million to spend. We are presently on the same points, and despit the score, they could have easily won the last match! And while we are talking about success on managerial CVs, how does Souness compare to Robson - not even in the same class. How does he compare to Mourinho, Wenger, Ferguson or Benitez? You get the point - he is a SHIT manager, once and for all. ffs jw tbh

Does anybody say: Jesus H tap dancing christ or have I completely made that up?

There used to be canny club in Tynemouth called Surfers which I went to most weekends. However, that burnt down 10 years ago with the plaza.... The last club I went to was about two years ago. A horrible experience, and I must have spent close to £100 for the privelege. Never again, pubs and gigs for me.
