manc-mag 1 Posted August 31, 2005 Share Posted August 31, 2005 To be fair, anti Souness chants would have been something else entirely, completely unacceptable and I dont think young Dan was saying that. Having said that Souness mass hysteria is just ridiculous. He will almost certainly have had nothing to do with this transfer at all (from the point of view of Michael's decision to come). Every manager would want Michael Owen in their team, Souness hasnt pulled off some miracle Thierry Henry signing that nobody has ever heard of. Thats not to knock him, it's just stating facts.

snakehips 0 Posted August 31, 2005 Share Posted August 31, 2005 I have to say that knowing what the idiots on Tyneside can be like, I half expected a boo when Souness and Shepherd came onto the stage. Glad it remained civilised. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanTheMan 0 Posted August 31, 2005 Share Posted August 31, 2005 Hang on, you're both making me out to be the only anti-Souness person here. I never said there should be Souness Out chants either. I just hope that the criticisms the fans had of Souness are not washed away just because Owen has signed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

catmag 336 Posted August 31, 2005 Share Posted August 31, 2005 When you get home tonight and watch the reports of what happened today, tell me that you aren't proud to be a Newcastle fan and are willing to see what the future brings to this club. Souness is not the best manager we have ever had but he's here and he's trying to do his job. Today he did it quite well, and deserves our backing because he's not going fucking anywhere at the moment. He's not perfect, he's not popular, and he's probably not right in the long run but I think to say he had nothing to do with this signing is bollocks, frankly.

Any anti Souness or Freddie chants their would make us look like complete cocks and make Owen think what the hell is he joining! And agree again as most managers in the world can say i want Owen he's good and if they're lucky the chairman and club are able to get them. The top managers will unearth great players from nowhere or vastly improve players the already have. Not to say Souness hasn't played any part, i don't know what he said and did to help convince Owen and if he did anything then good on him he deserves credit if he did. But ultimately signing Owen is somethign any manager would be doing if they had the resources. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I meant to say was that Souness' input would not have made the slightest bit of difference in Michael's mind when deciding which club to join. PS wind your neck in, of course I'm proud of what's happened. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sweetleftpeg 0 Posted August 31, 2005 Share Posted August 31, 2005 This is Souness's team now, he can no longer argue the point. No excuses, he'll either live or die by results. The next 5 games are winable and therefore crucial to his future imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He might not be the best football manager but he is always good with words. He also gives good interviews to the chronicle but not to the radio if they don't ask him nice questions. That is in contrast to several Newcastle players who don't give interviews to the Comical at all. Sources of the club also indicated that Brett Emerton will be a Newcastle player at the end of the week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
