I don't recall anyone saying that, I remember saying the benefits of a DOF would be to take pressure off the manager and would allow someone to concentrate on Scouting, youth development and all the other stuff like that full time rather than having to expect Roeder to do all this as well as sort the first team. http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/t...pur/4224278.stm what makes you say that Newcastle United have never had scouts and coaching staff LOL Great laugh that ....... I've never said we haven't got scouts or coaching staff, I said we have shit scouts and coaching staff. Duh. You're telling lies. You said this : "I don't recall anyone saying that, I remember saying the benefits of a DOF would be to take pressure off the manager and would allow someone to concentrate on Scouting, youth development and all the other stuff like that full time rather than having to expect Roeder to do all this as well as sort the first team. " Roeder - and no other NUFC manager - has had to do all of that on his own at all. You've clearly misinterpreted what I've said, a DOF would take the pressure off the manager in that he would be able to concentrate on the first team and nothing more, It would also be someone who had control over every other aspect of the club in youth development, scouting etc. I've never suggested Roeder does it all however he is responsible for the scouts, youth academy staff etc as they all answer to him.

I've already posted the link to where you lied about claiming Boumsong was shit from the beginning. Sunderland have always been a team who do well in the Championship, Roy Keane hasn't done anything that Mick Mcmackem didn't do when he was in that league with them, the big test will be if they get promoted so until then it's too early to judge. There are plus points to being at the match and watching it on tv, I've watched matches where IMO players have played well yet I've watched the highlights of the same match later when I've got home and those players haven't stood out as much as I thought they did, Martins and Dyer being a good example away to Birmingham earlier this season. You do get a better feeling of what each player has contributed from being at the match though.

"and I think Boumsong is OK, he is quick and composed and a canny tackler, but shite in the air." http://www.toontastic.net/forum/index.php?...pic=410&hl= which he is. Ultimately though, being shite in the air, and poor in the physical aspect of life in the premiership, shattered what chance he may have had of succeeding. Nice to see you are infatuated with me so much you go digging out that. While you were at it, I don't suppose you looked for the numerous people who said he was the new Woodgate, on the basis he was an expensive foreigner, nor some of your chums posts that Souness was beginning the process of "sorting out the cancers at the club and should be given time, money, because Alex Ferguson was given time and money and sorted out the cancers at ManU" Can you post a link to where someone said he was the new Woodgate? BTW I wasn't looking to pull a link up to where someone calls something wrong to embarrass them, I was simply pulling up a link to show you were telling lies again.

*falls off chair* what has Blackburn got to do with Newcastle, what a load of nobs. toondood sticking up for Leazes again. Not another alias surely?

Nice one mate

The Karate Kid - I bought the collection from HMV when they had their 20% online discount before Christmas and I've only just got around to watching the first one. "Wax on, Wax off"

How many more times do we have to see a Butt/Parker partnership before Roeder realises they're not creating anything? He should have played Dyer in midfield and Sibierski up top instead of that unambitious selection.

I'd take a fair few of their squad tbh They may not all be good enough to get in our first team but they would be far better back up players than what we have now.

Possible points deduction if found guilty.

I'll tell you what Leazes, if this NE5 is copying your posts why don't you ask Dave or Wullie if they can un-ban your IP address over on Newcastle-Online so you can go over there and confront him about it. Unless you're chicken.

That NE5 on N-O must be copying your thread idea's, Leazes. http://www.newcastle-online.com/nufcforum/...p?topic=29970.0 http://www.toontastic.net/forum/index.php?...ic=9187&hl= Word for word.

Fucking hell, the guy's got split personalities. Leazes, EVERYONE knows that you post as NE5. Give it up! do you really think so Craig Craig and I don't post exactly the same thing in every single thread. Nice try though NE5. (how come he's a new member on "his" board by the way? ) I am banned on NO, and NE5 registered on howaythetoon in August 2005. Not many posts has he, considering it's "his" board and he says EXACTLY the same things as you everywhere else. Funny how you both have exactly the same IP address too. After all these accusations NE5 on Leazes' board now has the same avatar as NE5 on N-O. You couldn't make it up.

Fucking hell, the guy's got split personalities. Leazes, EVERYONE knows that you post as NE5. Give it up! Is he still denying it?!

So where was it in the Middle East you visited, Leazes?

OMG NOELIE SPELT LEAZES WRONG HE MUST BE A KK BANDWAGON JUMPER!!1!

Mags taking a longer look at Lee Promising Whitley Bay striker Lee Kerr (pictured) has seen his current three-day trial with United extended to a full week. The Jarrow-born 19 year-old known as "Sparky" to the Hillheads faithful will now return to the Northern League title-chasing side for Saturday's trip to Billingham Town. Kerr's 20 goals so far this season has attracted interest from various clubs including ourselves, the mackems, smoggies, Hibs and Stockport.

Basically he's telling us how great Shepherd is as chairman for backing managers in the transfer market yet at the same time he's telling us how shit this new West Ham board is for backing their manager in the transfer market. He's also saying he believes Keegan when he says it wasn't Sir John Hall who wanted him as manager even though KK is clearly bitter towards SJH in his book yet doesn't believe the things Sir Bobby says in his book about Shepherd because he must be bitter towards Fat Freddie even though he hasn't read it. Also something about pre 1992 and that Noelie has a telescope. You'll get the hang of it.

Leazes can, and will. You were right. It really is a waste of time and effort replying to him.

That's just not true and yet another example of you making things up. I don't think there's anyone who actually thinks Hall junior is anything but a greedy, selfish leech who uses the club to make money for himself. The reason why Shepherd gets "all the flak" is because in his role as chairman, he is the board's figurehead and the exponent who is present in the media. Shepherd is quite obviously the lesser of the two evils, but that doesn't mean he hasn't proven himself to be incompetent and unprofessional and not fit for the job. despite qualifying for europe more than anyone else bar 4 clubs ? You are making the mistake many people do, by confusing some of his press comments with the fact that the performance on the pitch is what matters most to a football club. I don't give a rats arse if he says bollocks about "Geordie Nation", and neither did people when the club was in the Champions League, and neither did people when SJH said exactly the same thing. Would a chairman and a board who were upstanding gentlemen who didn't back their managers be better for you ? Believe me, it would not. Noelie will agree, having supported the club through decades of mismanagement where such people as I describe ran the club, thought survival in the top league was success, were proud that they built a new stand like Watfords, and left it looking at the 3rd division. Actually, Noelie won't agree, because he appears to think the club he left behind in the 1950's was the same as the one the current board found in 1992. 13th, 13th, 11th, 11th, 4th, 3rd, 5th, 14th, 7th, (Currently 11th) In the nine full seasons Shepherd has been chairman we've only qualified for Europe 3 times through league positions, the other times it's been through the back door whether it be in the Intertoto or because the FA cup final winners had already qualified for the Champions League. With the financial resources the club has an average league position of 9th simply isn't good enough, especially when you consider where the club was when Shepherd took charge, we've also finished in the bottom half of the league more often than in the top half. In the 40 years preceding 1992, we qualified for europe ONCE by virtue of league position on merit, despite having the potential to fill a big stadium, buy England players, keep our best players. We also finished in the top half of the table ten times from the late 1950's until that time. Is our last decade a big improvement, or not ? Stop living in the past. Shepherd took over a club 9 years ago that had finished 2nd in the league twice and had just broke the World record transfer fee in signing Alan Shearer, since then we've finished in the bottom half of the league more than the top, won no silverware and the club are now £80 million in debt. You seem to be saying he's done a good job because we are better off than we were 30 years ago, even though he's transformed an cash rich club from the top 2 in the league to an average midtable club without a pot to piss in since he's been chairman.
