Just trying to stimulate discussion fellas.

Just have to ask kiddah...

Better off without him or not? Discuss.

Did we ever find out if he was a left-winger or a centre-forward then?

Why don't you just be his bitch on here for a while? 111780[/snapback] He must be missing the frequent "Great post HTT!" to be fair. He has to work for it a bit more over here. 111783[/snapback] Yous all love me really, I'm the light of your existences in cyber-world, without me, yous would be nothing. This place would die a death, too perpetual, too snobby. In fact, without me, this place wouldn't even exist at all. I am, you could say, your creator. Taylor27, I'm staying ower here now. My work is done on N.O - this place clearly needs me more and being the type of guy I am, I will help Toontastic get out of it's perpetual tbh/lol/wtf/semantics/clit rubbing lets all ejaculate together rut it festers in. I shall draw in new members with my amazing knowledge of NUFC, my booker-prize winning writing skills and my amazing ability to attract flies to the shit I spout. The whole Hitzfeld hoax thing, this phoney forum wars thing, just an elaborate sting to get me banned from N.O so they could have me all to themselves. This is my new home. 111803[/snapback] This place actually doesn't really exist. It is just a hoax from peasepud to take the piss out of N-O. 111813[/snapback] N.O is just a hoax to keep Peasepud from going blind.

Show-off Well, I left school with fuck all qualifications, and I turned out alright. You don't need them Taylor lad, get yourself into the real world, build a website, earn thousands a day off Google ads and spunk it ower some blonde's tits at the weekend while drinking champagne and smoking roll-ups.

Ahh, those were the days, eh.

I watched a good series on the Discovery the other week, Rome? Was about Rome anyway, him out of Game On (not the dark haired bloke) was the presenter.

He only won African player of the year for PC reasons.

"Shear-Hell" Usually with a pic of Big Al head bowed. Set your clock by the Chronicle. Mind, if they tell you the time of day, double check...

Forget the sun, the Chronicle could do with a good headline writer

Now used in a headline about Ramge 3 times, man they are original

God no, why would I suggest that. He wouldn't leave us high and dry.

You're probably right Alex, I don't think these days clubs need managers who can do the lot, but higher up the table, if you look at the top teams, their managers are well rounded coaches who excell in a number of things and I think if you want to be at that level, you have to follow suit. That said, Fergie isn't a great coach, his tactical acumen is average and he's not a great thinker of the game, and look at his success. Achieved via having the right set-up around him and being able to dicate that as the string puller if you like. But I'd say he's a dying breed and for most of his success, no other club in this country has had the number of top-class talent coming through the ranks all at the same time and had the resources Man Utd have had. Wenger has shown that by being an all-rounded great manager, i.e. the coach, the tactics, the training, the motivator, that you don't need lots of money, big gates and a crop of youngsters, or even a great backroom team. I'd prefer a manager who has more strings to his bow if you like as the likelyhood of that man creating a great backrom team, would be high anyway. That's why I prefer Big Sam to O'Neill and maybe even Hiddink and other big name managers like Sven. As a club, I feel we need that. We can accept top 6 finishes or we can for once and for all, branch out, extend ourselves and really go for it. The Sir Bobby/O'Neill stabilise, top 6 European football, good cup runs type of management only ever ends in tears because usually those type of managers can't move up another level. O'Neill will arrive, get us into the top 6, maybe even the CL and win us a cup, great, yes please, but with that our expectations will rise and we want the title, and because he's not good enough to achieve that (IMO), he'll eventually get the sack or his early success will go into decline (like Sir Bobby). And 3-4 years down the line we'll all be wanting a manager who can take us up an extra level. Well, now is as good a time as ever. Our stock is falling, clubs like Liverpool, West Ham, Villa and Pompey are the targets of rich individuals, we need a special manager like Arsenal got in Wenger, someone who has it all or enough of it all. I think we are putting al our eggs into one bascket with O'Neill. I hope we have other options lined up.

Couldn't agree more, Zola but with pace and finishing skills. Not saying Zola couldn't finish mind, he could, but he wasn't a goalscorer. By all accounts Signori was a top bloke as well so I have no doubts he'd have settled in the Premiership. Imagine Shearer, Sir Les and Signori in the same side, on paper surely that wouldn't work, but knowing KK he'd have had them all on 20 goals each or something. Mind, I think our own defence would have shat bricks as much as the opposition.

What that report didn't include was... "with the resources I've had to work with" Which of course he'd be right. Spent 750K on Speed last year, 1m this year. Amazing job and I'd be delighted if we ended up with Big Sam, rather have him than O'Neill. As for boring football, his team play no differently to Chelsea and Liverpool, Bolton just have less flair players so it looks a lot worse. I watched them against West Ham when they beat them 4-1, tore them to shreds and played some great stuff. I doubt we'll end up with Sam though. 111662[/snapback] Wouldn't agree with that. Okocha, Nakata, Nolan, Stelios...not exactly "grafters". 111664[/snapback] Not quite in the class of Crespo, SWP, Robben et al though are they? Although I get your point. Alex I agree regarding your concerns over Big Sam, but then I think most candidates who have been linked have big questions marks over them, some more than others, even Hitzfeld has some question marks given he has no Premiership experience. I rate Big Sam though and I think out of them all, he has the brains, the desire and the belief to climb a few extra steps that I just don't think the likes of O'Neill can. Unlike MON, Sam is the coach, the tactical mind, the tutor, the motivator, he's everything. He lost most of his backroom team last season and during the close season, but Bolton have improved even more. If MON lost Walford and Robertson, he'd be fucked. The Irish Mr Motivator.

Signori was a special player, I think KK saw him as a replacement for Beardsley, would have scored a ton of goals in wor league as well, great finisher and scored some spectacular goals in his Lazio days. Never quite made it at international level though. Weah, I didn't rate him like, not even for Milan, who had a great team at the time while the rest of Serie A were trying to catch up. If I remember right, he had a great first season and didn't really follow that up in other seasons.

I skip past the golf stuff, don't see the fascination with it myself, boring game for boring people. Probably Hitzfeld's only weakness

It looks like it's just an internet copy+paste job. I'd be slightly concerned about the focus: 2 pages on Newcastle United; 4 on the railway and 20 on golf-courses. 111410[/snapback] Aye, it is. One of the most useful things about Google is it's great at detecting blatent plagiarism. None of this "dossier" is original, it's all cut and pasted from wikipedia and such. I'm not saying that it was claimed the document was original, but what a waste of time. Why on Earth would Hitzfeld want to read this gash? Peaspud has obviously spent a fair bit of time on his hoax, but at least it's given most of us a laugh as well as exposing how shoddy journalism can be (not that that's a surprise). Anyway, how do you practise irreligion? An oxymoron, Shirley. 111511[/snapback] Jesus wept, no-one told you to read it and it wasn't just created for the Hitzfeld thing and again, no-one said it was an original piece or a stunning account of all things Newcastle/Geordie. I can't help feeling some of the remarks of late are borne out of petty past rivalries or some other personal agenda type shit. Get a life you sad bastards, sitting picking away at every nook and cranny of every piece of text, word, comment or whatever from the Hitzfeld thing or N.O At least Peasepud was original.

I was just curious as to what the point was of making a "dossier" consisting entirely of other people's work stitched together from the internet (all unreferenced and uncredited), and more to the point, in what way did you think this was going to influence Hitzfeld? Did you really think he was going to say "Wow, Look at all ze golf courzes near Newcastle, I must zign for them?" 111526[/snapback]
