Craig 6321 Posted January 3, 2007 Share Posted January 3, 2007 from .COM..... 21st January 2006: Newcastle lie 14th in the Premiership, having taken 26 points from their 22 league games, winning 7, losing 10 and drawing 5. Their goal difference is -5; their top scorer has 7 goals. One match later and we'd sacked our manager. 2nd January 2007: Newcastle lie 14th in the Premiership, having taken 26 points from their 22 league games, winning 7, losing 10 and drawing 5.

Dr Gloom 20121 Posted January 3, 2007 Share Posted January 3, 2007 shepherd expected souness to do better, otherwise he wouldn't have backed him to the hilt with cash. roeder is operating under less pressure. shepherd knows he's got a small squad and he isn't likely to sack him largely because of how much expectations were lowered by the souness debacle.

Rob W 0 Posted January 3, 2007 Share Posted January 3, 2007 aye Souness had reached those numbers after spending a fortune and a couple of years in the job after all roeder has been fighting an uphill struggle from Day 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Papa Lazaru 0 Posted January 3, 2007 Share Posted January 3, 2007 They are interesting, but Souness had already had a previous season (bar a handful of games at the start)producing some of the worst shite i've ever suffered and should have long been gone, whereas Roeder has previously had only a part season where he inherited the SOuness shambles and turned it round. So whatever we think of Roeder he's still way ahead of Souness overall in his time at NUFC, that doesn't make it good enough though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
norm 0 Posted January 3, 2007 Share Posted January 3, 2007 ....and there's always the incredible injury list that Roeder has had to deal with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
