Women were dissappointed with the Fat Sam... Despite it's appealing name, women found that after they had phoned the Equipment Specialist for advice on lubricants, contacted the Medical Specialist about proper back and leg position, consulted the Position Coach for optimum angle of penetration, and the Movement Coach for advice on speed of attack, they found they were not in the mood any more and would rather watch Coronation Street.

The boy is genuinely untouchable it seems. Christ. Have a look at what people say about Fergie, which evidently has formed an impression on Butt. Anyone who doesn't want to be here are out, no matter who they are.

No. The fans have been conned, this is a man who Fred thinks is worthy of replacing Robson, fired for not improving on 3rd. It has sod all to do with appointing someone to fit the current needs. He is still under investigation. He is not a football management genius, bringing in 28 new experts that we don't have is a total myth. He won't stand up to Fred, he has nowhere else to go with which to threaten Fred, coupled with the nice juicy contract he would be giving up.

Frankly, Im happy for that to happen tbh, I dont know who these people are currently however Im happy to bet they are fairly shit at their jobs. We have a ridiculous number of injuries compared to the likes of Bolton, have no control of the dressing room and frankly appear to deal with our foreign players abysmally. IF Sam comes in, sacks a load and brings new people in then Im not going to complain like. Exactly, it boils down to just appointing a new manager, who changes the staff. Nothing different to what happens when any manager is appointed, and has nothing to do with Fat Sam being some mystical football wizard who has the keys to the fountain of knowledge of football management with his 28 experts. Sorry lads but Im going to continue taking the bait. Yes he does appear to be some mystical wizard comapred to the previous 2 at least. Very few changes seemed to be made to backroom staff in the past and if so, it was the old boys/ geordies network rather than experts. As I've said a million times before... Your're not fucking kidding ! You disagree? You think we should just be happy because he's an improvement on Roeder/Souness?

As I've said a million times before, an improvement on the previous 2 managers is not the criteria on which to select the next one. And what is this old boys network? What's appointing Speed a coach at Bolton then? And talk of bringing him here? Where's the difference between that and Lee Clarke? Christ at least Lee Clarke has managed the reserves first. I didn't see anyone complaining when Pearson was appointed, yet now he gets labelled as part of the old boys network. Hindsighttastic.

Agreed Contribute or don't contribute. I don't mind either way. Just don't post a pointless whinge, I can't abide whingers. Stop whinging. No worries, I've got to go and do the IRONYING.

When did we last have a manager who wasn't interfered with / undermined by Fred, or was allowed to change the entire playing staff before his results were judged? It just will not happen. If Sam can't get the majority of the current players working, he's fooked in my opinion.

This is a pretty weak argument when you don't know what we have at this club, and can't name a single job title of the alleged 28 that Sam will set-up here that we don't have already.

Hang on, we don't know who he will be unveiling tomorrow, we might see Barry Fry walk out from behind the curtain at 1pm. 'Performance Director'

That is the most persuasive argument for Fat Sam yet If Fat Sam is premium unleaded, Klinsman is methanol. Zing!

You honestly believe that is our entire staff don't you Jon? Fat Sam, the only manager out there who knows his stuff. Well, apart from complete novices like Klinsman. Perhaps you can join in the game and list 28 staff positions that Sam will set up that we don't have? And at the same time explain how Terry Mac cured Kieron Dyer and repaired Micheal Owen. Oh, do piss off. Me? Right..... What do you expect when Jon's argument is so persuasive? If you are trying to bore the shit out of everyone on this board, you are doing a sterling job. Can you PM me your give-a-fuck-o-meter, I just need it for a sec.... At the end of the day, if you're happy to be bored by post after post fawning over a mysterious and elusive 28 member backroom staff, be my guest. Some of us aren't so, well, gullible? I swear to God I wonder how Fred has got away with it all these years, then a post like yours pops up.

I doubt the pre-existing German set-up was anything like that of a Premiership club. And as you and I know, that fact goes against the supposed advantage of appointing the worldly experienced Fat Sam when a complete managerial novice like Klinsman knows this shit? You're right, if anything a Premiership club should have a larger amount of backroom staff, due to the amount of games and such. As for your last point, I don't know what you're getting at. Fact of the matter is you're slating someone for doing the exact same thing that your favourite would. I'm saying that for one, one of the plus points of Sam is his apparent 'experience', when it would appear a complete novice like Klinsmann can do the same And second, I don't think Sam will come here and create 28 new positions, this is a myth that everyone has take to using to again appease the appointment. I think he'll come here, and for every person he brings in here, another who pretty much did the job will be out. At most a couple of new positions will appear, of the meeter and greeter / fluffer type, as it seems it just ever so hard for the precious ones like Charles to integrate into a professional outfit.

Aye because that's my position Just to clarify, I believe a manager should be appointed on his merits, not because he claims to have 28 crucial and expert staff members which is total BS, which fawning fans take as read who honeslty truly do believe NUFC employs 2 people, and we've never had anything so modern and forward thinking as physios, masseurs, fitness trainers, nutritionists etc etc. I can full well believe Fat Sam had to bring in 28 people to a side in the second division, but there is a difference between that and this club right now. Jobs for the boys? I guess there's a world of difference appointing Gary Speed and Lee Clark.

American football? The reason they have so many coaches is because they have specific players for specific duties. If we had a corner taking team, a final third team, a penalties squad, that point might make sense, otherwise, no thanks. Separating the instruction for different parts of the game would be ridiculous, players wouldn't know if they were coming or going, every coach needs to know everything about the game and communicate it coherently and effectively with one voice. Football is completely fluid compared to gridiron. And baseball? Are you kidding me? Physios and masseurs, that's all you've got. I hardly think the difference between top 6 and bottom 6 is how many physios and masseurs you have. Perhaps you could ask your mate how many we have btw, I don't think Derek Wright is there all on his lonesome. For the record, we've somehow just taken Micheal Owen from a career ending injury to the best fitness and shap of his life, all on a plan drawn up on the back of Terry Mac's fag packet if you believe most fans.

I hear the Obafemi M is a best seller, the Micheal O, not so much.

In what world does a director of football report to the manager? Behave. Ask Baggio, he'll confirm for you. Pretty sure they will have to at some point. 'Talk to' <> 'Report to' You don't hire Arsene Wenger and he brings David Dean as part of his staff, or Martin Jol and that Comoli spiv

Glenn Hoddle already has all 15 fully qualified expert Sports Faith healers in the world tied up on 10 year contracts.

Great. Let's give Bramble another chance to play for a contract. How's about we let the next manager stay long enough to implement the changes he wants? Might be an idea...
