Oh dear.

Reports this morning suggest he's not gonna be allowed to take the job cos they're going to play by the rules re these Pro License badges. Apparently it's a year long course starting in June 2006. So once again PR King Shepherd looks to have scored a spectacular own goal.

October?? That pretty much started TODAY on N-O tbh.

Me am hope him best too.

Probably has no idea that that report exists tbh. He barely speaks English never mind Italian.

I just did. There was neeone there though. 127384[/snapback] Amateur charv tbh.

So is anyone going down to SJP to make a tit of themselves on national TV when this is officially announced? "Aye. Wuh ganna win the leeg noo lyk. Champions leeg next season lyk. Nee bovvaaaaaaAAAHAWAYGLENNGERRINTHEREMAAAAAN!!!" etc.

Spare a thought for HTT in all of this. He recently quit his job to concentrate on the Hitzfeld campaign, and is now officially an unemployed failure.

I don't believe that for a second btw. The sort of people who would write to the club specifying who they want as new manager are the sort of people who don't know how to write.

We were awful in that game and spawned the draw iirc.

Merci a catmag.

I'd be happy with that. But only if Tyneside's Favourite Son has a highest paid manager clause in his contract when he comes back though. Anything else would be disrespectful to the great one.

O'Neill won't take over at Sunderland man. I don't see that club being turned around by anything tbh. He talks about it like it's a new concept. Managers.....who can coach! What will those eggheads think of next?!

I'll post some tonight when I get home. Aye, I know what you mean about the house though - fairly modest when you see some of the houses on Cribs. Ashley Ward's house is bigger than Elvis's!? The padded room was quality with the porcelain monkey. My pictures didn't come out great cos of the ban on using flashes, but I'll post some tonight.

And that would surprise you would it? 127273[/snapback] Unfortunately not.

I don't really buy that argument, because the fact is that we don't have the players to compete with Man U, Liverpool or Chelsea. And that's not Roeder's fault. Yes, they could have competed better on the day, but it's a long term thing getting us back on a par with that lot. Here's Oliver's bit from the Chron btw: [/url] 127264[/snapback] I have to say that if we ended up with Roder and the scum got O'Neil I would be right fucked off. 127271[/snapback] I don't think McClaren's gonna get the England job any more mate, following the lukewarm press reaction. I think Boro are stuck with him and O'Neill will need to wait for the next Premiership sacking.

By the way, the business about Shearer in the Oliver article is pathetic. If this decision is all down to keeping Shearer involved at the club, then it's absolutely ridiculous. We're staking our future on a bloke who we don't even know will cut the mustard as a manager??

Do you think the likes of Bolton do? They have put in some good performances against the top teams in recent seasons.. 127266[/snapback] So've we. They don't do it every time they play the top teams though. Neither do we.

http://icnewcastle.icnetwork.co.uk/newcast...-name_page.html First bit about it in the Chron.

I've got some of Graceland too when I was *sings* down in the jungle room.

The latest news from N-O is that he'll get us relegated next season. Has this been confirmed anywhere?

News just in... 127239[/snapback] Front and back page exclusive tomorrow if he does go ahead with his Roeder one today and gets it wrong.

If this is true and the club wanted to clear things up with the FA, I can see Oliver getting his arse paddled off Shepherd for being unable to control his gob before the guidance from the FA was obtained. Having said that, it would be Shepherd's own stupid fault for making his mouth go to Oliver (a journalist wanting to break the big story) in the first place.

Silence while everyone checks .com.
