Craig

I mean that it wouldn't change my opinion of the man... Of course I want us to win the cup - please don't take my comment out of context.

Don't think it was Hartson. Remember him signing for Arsenal and don't recall us being linked. The player I remember us pulling a press conference on because of his medical was John Salako. We signed Ginola instead.

I think Stuart Pearce could. But I don't think we've got a snowball's chance in hell of getting him here...

I was never actually backing the bloke, I just maintained that I think he needed time to prove himself - and the Wigan result was the final straw. I couldn't give a shit if we won the FA Cup, I'd still want him replaced.

Couple of things I don't agree with, namely: 1. I'd consider Doug Ellis to be a far more ruthless chairman 2. No matter how many times he bangs on about him resigning, Dalglish WAS sacked! I'm fucking astounded that none fo the coaching team were at Kingston Park though. Even if the squad was at full strength, there should always be one member of the team there if not for anything else, to pass judgement on whether anyone is ready for promotion to the first team. So where was Souness, Saunders, Murray, etc?? Off out on a jolly no doubt - either that or busy fucking dreaming of the next wad of our cash they can spend! Please, please fuck off and leave this club alone....

I see .COM are running with the line that Souness's Obituries are being penned.... Think they may know something we're all hoping for?

He thinks he hasn't done anything wrong? What about selling half our squad and failing to replace them you fucking mong! We only have 2 centre backs because you sold AOB (OK, not the greatest) and replaced him with Craig Moore who's yet to be fit to play!! For fuck's sake, when he took over we had a ridiculously overcrowded midfield contingent on our payroll. We've got to pray like fuck that Solano, Clark, Bowyer or N'Zogbia don't get injured in the coming weeks. C'mon Fred, dispense with this toss-pot! BTW - how the hell can his compo be £3m if he's only on a year contract with an option for a 3rd? That would mean we're paying him £6m a year - surely not?

Only bad luck if they're up after the 6th. Today is the 5th...

That's where we've been going wrong all along - we've got to write him a nice, polite letter and he'll just walkaway....

I dunno about Souness thinking he's won the lottery, but I feel like we have if he's only on a 2 year fixed contract...

74186[/snapback] Can't read, I see. 74346[/snapback] I've answered your questions accurately. Or are you going to point out that the questions weren't aimed at me? If that's the case then you should have stuck them in a PM tbh.

ITV News have just been interviewing Oliver. He says Souness hasn't talked to the Chronicle since the day after the Wigan debarcle when Oliver dared to criticise. If the stupid twat can't take criticism, he really shouldn't be in football management tbh.

The bastard wants to make up his mind. He was on SSN earlier saying if Souness doesn't deliver the FA Cup this season, he'll be sacked. So if we get turned over at the weekend he should be on his bike..

The difference is, I see Luque being very badly managed. We've all watched the video, we all know what he's capable of. Get the right man to manage him and I think we'll reap the benefits..

Since when did being a non-taxpayer render you a chav?

Sick - fucking sick!!! Same age as my daughter, I'd end up doing time if someone had done that to her...

Totally agree with that...

I thought HTT was speccing a sooper-dooper, infallible, dedicated server which was why the re-launch took so long?

that is all correct. Are we on the same side here Craig .... ? I say Keegan isn't a "quitter", unfortunately I understand the reasons he left, which were because he had integrity, he wasn't happy with the change of direction and losing out in the title ripped the heart out of him 74203[/snapback] therefore he quit! * forgive the pedancy...

Defence is the priority of the three positions mentioned IMO. At least when they're all available, we have some good quality in midfield and attack - the defence is crap full stop.

Pinning this topic - worth keeping for the duration of the month...

If we'd all be worshiping Souness in those posts, you'd have been glad we'd dug it up!

Before Xmas, I'd have said that Sunderland, Portsmouth, Birmingham, Everton, Fulham, West Brom, Aston Villa & Charlton would all definitely finish below us. Now a couple of teams (Pompey and Everton in particular) have had a definite turn around in fortunes since then so I'm not so sure. I still think it's highly unlikely that we will be involved though. * Watch that comment come back and bite me on the arse. EDIT: I've just had a look at the table and seen Boro's position - what the fuck happened to them, did they go into free-fall or something?

They never told him to specifically sell Ferdinand, they just said that funds needed to be raised to satisfy the bank loan taken out to bring in Shearer and that Ferdinand was a possible asset. As KK said, Joe Royle later told him he'd have made out a cheque there and then for £6m to take Ferdinand to Goodison Park but KK said he didn't buy Shearer to sell Ferdinand. KK may have had 3 years left on his contract, but he definitely told them he wouldn't be the manager for the start of the 1997-98 season.

Regardless of whether believe they should be at the club or not we have four midfielders who cost us well over 20 million on loan at other clubs... Nothing like strengthening an already small squad Mr Souness... 73984[/snapback] Viana, Robert, Butt and Milner? Could actually do with all 4 of them now, it's that bad. Should have kept Ambrose IMO. 73988[/snapback] 3 OF 3M ARE STILL ON OUR BOOKS! 74012[/snapback] All four are, surely? Or did I miss a sale? 74013[/snapback] Well it's 3 now...
