ewerk 26229 Posted April 29, 2007 Share Posted April 29, 2007 Players playing for their futures? Doubtful. From they were 19th in November they have been rising steadily which can more likely be put down to Keane taking a couple of months to get the team playing the way he wants them to, to attribute it solely to players improving because of the risk of new players coming in is utter rubbish.

sweetleftpeg 0 Posted April 29, 2007 Share Posted April 29, 2007 The table doesn't lie. If the mackems start brightly, Freddie will panic and Roeder will get the sack, which won't really help us much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tinofbeans 86 Posted April 29, 2007 Share Posted April 29, 2007 the lad evans is going back to manchester united at the end of the season and looks class. i don't however think 20m is enough to keep that side up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Howaythetoon 0 Posted April 29, 2007 Share Posted April 29, 2007 Not really fussed myself. Could actually work in our favour. They will need to spend big mind and even then, there is no guarantee. Next season suddenly becomes a tad more interesting anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, being the brainless moron that he is, Fat Fred's decisions on NUFC will inevitably alter if the mackems are in the prem with us and doing well, thats how bad he is! Souness was very lucky not to have the mackems having a good season above him in the prem (and beating us in derby matches) or he'd have been out on his arse long before he was.

Frente88 0 Posted April 29, 2007 Share Posted April 29, 2007 To be honest i think SAFC going up can only be good for NUFC. Maybe it will force FFS into some action instead of laying back on being better than the rivals card........ Also heard we have a fair amount more than £20m to spend this summer.

I don't doubt you'll have plenty to spend, but the bigger question is who can you attract ? No doubt there will be domestic players that would play for Roy Keane but how far does his appeal stretch ?

Just depends now on his powers of persuasion, still has to be the most promising SAFC situation we've been in during my lifetime (19 years). Also depends on how SAFC are now marketed as opposed to Bob Murrays shit chairmanship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd argue that the early days of the Peter Reid management was perhaps your most promising situation to be honest. I think they were halycon days for the North East teams as a whole. We we're established into the Keegan era, Boro were going places with Robson and you lot seemed to be getting on track too. Didn't we all with the First Division within a couple of years too?

Tom_NUFC 0 Posted April 29, 2007 Share Posted April 29, 2007 Credit where credit's due, Keane has done fantastically well and I think they've got themselves a decent manager. Will they finish above us next year/beat us in the derbies? I don't know, maybe/maybe not. Unfortunately, I don't think that beating their own previous 2 records for the lowest ever points total in the Prem is on. I don't think they'll be going straight back down.

I have to disagree, Murrays set-up was a disaster waiting to happen financially, a fair comparison to FFS and your club. I think Quinn is a special chairman and Keane is definately the man for the job. Like i said im really looking forward to next year as i believe we could finally act big as opposed to just talking the talk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sweetleftpeg 0 Posted April 30, 2007 Share Posted April 30, 2007 I had the 'pleasure' of watching the Derby game with a mackem yesterday. When Palace scored the second he started aeroplaining round the pub. Tbf, he's a canny bloke so we gave him that one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would suggest that Keane's appeal would stretch a hell of a lot further than a certain Mr Roeder! Keane love him or loathe him (the latter personally) was a truly world class player respected and known throughout Europe, where as our leader was a journeyman footballer that very few outside of England would of ever heard of. Plus the fact that Keane has played under the likes of Clough and Ferguson, there is every chance that he will be a top class manager, one thing you can't deny about Keane is that he's a winner and that quality shines through.

That's a bit naive tbh. Roy Keane has a worldwide reputation. Edited April 30, 2007 by Sima Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
