car crash tv at its best. or the x factor for lads. i'm along for the ride.

just need a it of positive thinking for it to happen according to TN

he was crap because while he was chairman, he squandered a position of strength. if it wasn't for his mistakes that i keep pointing out to you and you keep choosing to ignore (sacking managers days after transfer windows closed, sacking robson, appointing souness, roeder then allardyce etc) we might still be a top 6 cub. i respect the fact that shepherd and sjh had ambition the current owner lacks. but shepherd's decision making as chairman was shocking. i blame him as much as the likes of souness for us not kicking on and cementing our position as a top club while we were up there. he had no courage in his own convictions. why else would he sack a man days after the transfer window closed and he'd backed them to the tune of many millions? that's not how to run a football club. if you want your manager out, you get rid of them in the summer and give the new guy a chance to put his own team together. and if you know anything about football, you don't appoint the likes of souness or roeder. Shepherd never owned the club. I hope you have told Liverpool they should still be employing Woy, as well as not buying our best striker, aye thats the way to do it. Presumably on that basis, you would also have kept Gullit and not replaced him with Bobby Robson ? And Arsenal should not have sacked Bruce Rioch and replaced him with Wenger ? There are so many flaws in your "opinion" [any stick to beat Fred with] its untrue. We finished 7th and qualified for europe a year before Mike Ashley bought it. Next. so basically, you've ignored every point put to you yet again. i give up mate. batton over to skidmark from here on in, to the delight no doubt of the rest of the board.

if they're going english it should be redknapp. first english manager to guide a club to the champions league since SBR. there are really no other contenders out there. hopefully his appointment would lead to spurs' inevitable demise too.

he's generally done better than i thought he would. but then i thought with him in charge and no front line striker, we'd struggle much more than we have. still makes the decision to get rid of hughton look ever more ludicrous. there's nowt from pardew so far to suggest that he can do any better than his predecessor.

Its because they want you to bite mate, same as in other threads. Some twat purposely dangles a carrot because they want you to go off topic so they can have a go. Its a shame as it was a decent thread, I just wish some cunts would stop playing silly fuckers. it's leazesmag's obsession like. i don't see that many carrots being dangled. he actively goes looking to turn every thread into one of his "i was right about shepherd and ashley" rants. beyond tedious. we're all bored of it. it was only ashley's skidmark tbh who used to go actively out of his way to engage with leazesmag on the matter, hence why he was equally as unpopular poster. everyone else is sick of it. it's starting to spoil what is generally an excellent football forum. the sad thing about leazesmag is i think he could be a good poster if he could just move on from this one subject. the rare post he makes about other football stuff can be well worth reading. it's just a shame the fred/ashley stuff makes up 99% of the stuff he posts on here. it's the same with the general chat and his obsession with islamists and asylum seekers. what a shame it was NJS who started twisting a logical and reasonable discussion into mentioning Freddie Shepherd. As usual, you didn't notice and instantly pinned the blame on me. Which appears to be YOUR obsession. If someone actually says something so stupid or dumb, then its natural to reply. You do it too, you are doing it now ? What is it that you think you are so smart and different that you have different rules ? I think when you harp on like this you are an arsehole and ruining the forum, you're certainly now contributing along with NJS to ruin this particular thread. As I've said before, politics of the club are important, if I post comments that correctly say the future is grim and ask when we will be back in europe again, and YOU associate names to it, then it only serves to emphasise that everything I have said is correct and often it is you and others who prompt this assertion. So, why don't YOU either agree or disagree, and if you disagree, I'm just as entitled to an "opinion" as you, except what I say isn't an "opinion" of someone being a "cunt", I'm stating hard solid facts. If I "like" them its because they did well for the club, I don't give a shite what their personalities are like, what sort of life they lead, if they go whoring, or drink 25 gallons of beer a day, rent a warehouse from a member of the family for peanuts [which happens everywhere in the world], state the obvious when they say football shirts are made for a few quid in Thailand - get it ? I don't care. Those sort of irrelevances are best left to those who have the wrong priorities. Business is ruthless, rich people are ruthless, thats the way of the world, if you don't see that, you are fantastically naive. Can we get on with the football, if you agree with me fine, if you don't fine, but if someone like me says Ashley is taking the club backwards and the previous regime did a great job for the club and it may be a long time before we hit such heights again, then that may or may not be correct but at the present moment in time very much looks like it may be the case. And I'm not really interested in picking my best team for next season, or speculating which 3rd rate players we may buy in the summer. I would far prefer to line 7 or 8 of them up against a firing squad because they simply aren't good enough for me and I don't expect any new players this summer to be much better, if at all. here you go again with the personality thing. in my post directly below the one you're quoting, i've stated why fred's time was up, in my opinion - it had nothing to do with his personality, which was embarrasing but not the reason why he was a crap chairman. your agument lacks credibility because you answer points that agree weren't made, put words in mouths and ignore reasoning put to you that you don't agree with. it's infuriating.

here you go again with putting word in peoples' mouths. i've listed many times for you in the past the reasons why i didn't rate shepherd as a chairman - it isn't all to do with his personality. while i was glad to see the back of him, it didn't take long to relise that the man replacing him in ashley was worse. about a season into this reign, not 4 years. so enough of this "you've finally come round to my way of thinking" bollocks. it was obvious to anyone with half a brain cell that ashley didn't have the club's interests at heart after the keegan/wise/xisco/gonzales/milner/jfk debacle. we've been on a downward spiral ever since and ashley has gone from bad to worse. but for the final time, on shepherd, i truly thought his time in charge had come to its natural end. since the sacking of bobby robson, he made a series of poor decisions which in my view contributed to our decline. sir bobby had established us as a top 5 club. he had one sllghtly below par season, where we still finished 5th but was inexplicably sacked (just after the transfer window closed) and replaced with graham souness - a man none of us wanted and whom blackburn (on the brink of relegation), wanted even less. we had the chance to kick on with and really establish ourselves as a top5 club - shepherd's decisions imo stopped that happening, from sacking managers just days after transfer windows shut closed to appointing the likes of souness, roeder and allardyce - men that clearly weren't up to the job. i thought being bought out by a billionaire would be a good thing. most of us did. none of us knew from the beginning it would turn out into the disaster it has become. but it was pretty obvious from pretty early on that ashley didn't give a shit, you're no mastermind on that score.

no doubt he'll try to call you out for finally coming around to his way of thinking now after 4 years or whatever despite that never being the case in his endless mission to be proved right about something that few agree with him over. Leasezmag, for this forum's sake, please just let it lie. Or take your shepherd v ashley debate (if you can call it a debate) somewhere where people give a shit. please. It's getting beyond dry man. I'm sure you have more interest stuff to contribute than this same tired old line.

Oh my God, this is what it has come too, I'm in full agreement with CT. Leazes, I've already said I won't enter a discussion with you about the politics of NUFC, but IMO you should move on. I have been to Anfield many times (including before Shepherd ffs) and seen us lose every time. Today though was the most enjoyable to date. You seem to have lost the love of the game and your respect if your fellow fans. You might be better off out of it; just a thought like. Got to agree. I can't see what enjoyment he could get out of posting on here anymore. Just comes across as sad and embittered. Don't really get your point lad, but I've just been saying the same thing for the best part of 4 years since Mike Ashley bought the club and before that when people said they couldn't wait to get rid of Fred. It's took you that long to realise I was right but its a shame people like you can't admit it rather resorting to ridiculous comments as you have just made above. I don't particularly enjoy the club being in such a state, but I'm not shocked by it at all. I think the sad people are those who are accepting the lower standards, and those who are unable to see that the actions of supporters at Liverpool yesterday are inadvertently giving the impression we are all backing Mike Ashley rather than recognise what is wrong at our own football club. Now THAT is embarrassing and sad, because people will think this of NUFC supporters en bloc. jesus wept man, cant you see you're becoming a caricature of yourself? you used to be a laughing stock but people aren't laughing at you anymore; it's just sad; it's boring; it's endless. you need to move on; find a new forum perhaps? you can't get any joy out of using this one anymore, surely? i can't contemplate posting anywere as as much as you do here where the majority of posters are clearly bored stiff with all of your contributions. and for the final time, i didn't realise you were right about anything. people would take you much more serioulsy if you didn't constantly make up things and put words in people's mouths in your sad attempt to prove you are right about the only topic you ever discuss on this forum. enough already.

we might to rename this place mongtastic if the recent influx of slack jawed morons continues unabated.

the royal family are silverspooners that the uk taxpayer supports - they're worth about as much to the country as benefit cheats. they're both shafting the taxpayer, whichever way you look at it. in your opinion. At least they are British. so are most benefit cheats, what's your point?

you're on here a lot, you spend what seems like most of your working day on here, you don't seem to spend much time not on here, so is this what you do at "your lasses" place ? Post on here while she watches TV ? Doesn't she find that tedious ? We live together, Leazes. And because I don't need IT assistance every time I sit down at my laptop, I can post on here without it affecting her TV watching. it would appear that, so far as the football club was concerned a few years ago, you needed accounting assitance though. Although, credit where its due, you have now came round to my way of thinking. Still, how fucking tedious eh ? Living with your lass and spending all day and night on here while she watches TV. Hasn't today inspired you ? Aye there's nowt more tedious than posting on here when you turn up. Reference your first paragraph if you don't know what I'm talking about, you repetitive old mong. You turn up on here daily and make the same posts you have for the last 5 years. Word for word. Every day. Yet you call me tedious. I see today hasn't inspired you to knock that on the head. As for me, no I'm ok thanks. I get on here as and when I want to. he's started that crap with me recently too. i honestly think the old fart is on a different planet.

as you have done re the football club, you'll eventually realise I'm right ie when you grow up and forget about the brainwashing you had by your left wing nutcase teacher at college right on cue

looks a swan-eating asylum seeker to me

the only case to be made for the monarchy is made by the moron

Fucking hell, is there no other news going on in the world? It's already been blanket coverage for the past 5 hours. Enough already

Queen looks like she's nodded off tbf and who can blame her?

There should be an alternative commentary for the piss takers. Huw said camilla looked radiant earlier. Yeah right, how on message is that? She looks an old frump wrapped in a blue curtain to anyone with a pair of eyes. This is drivel like CT. Most of us are watching it out of morbid curiosity, not out of any genuine love or interest in the royals.

Her maj looking like she's heard enough too. Wind it on vicar

Fucking church services man. Dullsville
