NJS 4016 Posted January 9, 2008 Share Posted January 9, 2008 Haven't read the thread as I only found out 5 mins ago and just want to type randomly. This seems strange after what looked like genuine backing - my hope is that that means they have someone worth doing something as daft as this for. Yes, despite my vehement anti-Allardyce stance I think sacking now with nobody lined up is worse than waiting out the season. I heard the "british" comment on SSN and cringed as I thought of McLaren, Moyes, Redknapp, Strachan and Bruce - hope this is a smokescreen.

Ketsbaia 0 Posted January 9, 2008 Share Posted January 9, 2008 Balls to all the fans whining cos he gone He bought crap players, played crap football, played players out of position, blamed anyone but himself for his shortcomings and all under an owner who didnt appoint him in the first place! Time for Ashley to get his own man in and get back to supporting a decent team Who da man, J69? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maestro7 0 Posted January 9, 2008 Share Posted January 9, 2008 Smokescreen - putting everybody in the dark so they can shock the world with Jose Great minds think alike.....that was my 1st impression anyway. Yeah but it really does sound like bollocks though. Your smokescreen idea, that is. This is NUFC, we don't do smokescreens, we do incompetence. Well the NUFC of recent times yes, but ashley is a very shrewd businessman, i think this could be his way of transforming the club into his own. Doing things his way right from the start........Mourinho in by end of next week! You are setting yourself up for a very VERY crushing disappointment. Well while im an optimist i am also a realist, so though i have a feeling mourinho has a shout im not holding my breath because this is nufc afterall, and iv got the pessimist inside screamin "mclaren, mclaren, mclaren" haha Id be happy with....Lippi, mourinho, strachan, van basten and possibly shearer!

Shearergol 0 Posted January 9, 2008 Share Posted January 9, 2008 I'm thinking it's Mourinho now. I think the comment about the "foreign" manager was that they club are not looking abroad. We'd have to go through the right channels because Mourinho cannot manager another club until summer, unless negotiated with Chelsea. Get your money on him.

Jusoda Kid 1 Posted January 9, 2008 Share Posted January 9, 2008 Can't believe the Sam lovers are now implying our hastiness to get rid has now burdened us with Mike Baldwin, he was only sacked an hour ago.

luckyluke 1 Posted January 9, 2008 Share Posted January 9, 2008 If it IS an Englishman, Shearer would be the optimal choice IMO. Says a lot about English managers. Redknapp, then Shearer Really can't see him leaving Portsmouth. And despite how well they're doing I don't see Rednkapp as a massive improvement on Allardyce. Shearer, at least, is an unknown quantity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you forgotten starting an Official Allardyce Out thread about a month ago? Allardyce gets the shit for not playing the team you wanted him too, and now the Chairman gets it for not sacking him the way you wanted him to.

TheMoog 0 Posted January 9, 2008 Share Posted January 9, 2008 So, judging from the bookies who have Shearer, Venables, Keegan and McLaren down as the British managers with the best odds who would you take out of them? More to the point if the club's already restricting themselves to British coaches who else is there apart from those four? Redknapp? Curbishley? Hughes? None of those seem likely, well, maybe Hughes is a possibility but would he deliver the type of football wanted? Some bloke on SSN said something about having Keegan as manager with Shearer as number two, would that work? It might but I don't like the idea of a manager being forced in to taking an assistant not of his choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
