Big TRon 0 Posted January 12, 2008 Share Posted January 12, 2008 That means it's going to be Hughes now. Shit Ruled himself out already hasn't he? Poor management. Should have kept his fans and players on tenderhooks. watch him backtrack though...he'd come here like a shot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isegrim 8862 Posted January 12, 2008 Share Posted January 12, 2008 Van Gaal seems to have done all right * 1 x Champions League: 1994-95 (with Ajax) * 1 x Intercontinental Cup: 1994-95 (with Ajax) * 1 x UEFA Cup: 1991-92 (with Ajax) * 2 x European Supercup: 1995-96 (with Ajax), 1997-98 (with FC Barcelona) * 3 x Dutch Eredivisie: 1993-94, 1994-95, 1995-96, (with Ajax) plus in 2003-04 (as Technical Director) * 1 x Dutch Cup: 1992-93 (with Ajax) * 3 x Johan Cruijff-schaal: 1993-94, 1994-95, 1995-96 (with Ajax) * 2 x Spanish League: 1997-98, 1998-99 (with FC Barcelona) * 1 x Spanish Cup: 1997-98 (with FC Barcelona) * 1 x Rinus Michels Award (2007) Until 1999 Did very well with Alkmaar recently though, just missing out the title at the last day by dropping from 1st to 3rd place, didn't they?

Asprilla 96 Posted January 12, 2008 Share Posted January 12, 2008 Shows a worrying lack of judgement on the new owners part. Redknapp clearly didn't have the ambition we are all looking for. This is pathetic. Can't really argue with that. Ashley has engineered a situation where he's been made to look a fool. It shouldn't have happened.

Fop 1 Posted January 12, 2008 Share Posted January 12, 2008 If Rednapp has turned us down, who the hell WILL want to come to Newcastle. McClown here we come (said not to joke about him till Rednapp's contract ink was dry ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it probably wouldn't impress a candidate that the owner has no interest in running the club or personally doing his utmost to bring in a new man.

Craig 6284 Posted January 12, 2008 Share Posted January 12, 2008 That means it's going to be Hughes now. Shit Ruled himself out already hasn't he? Poor management. Should have kept his fans and players on tenderhooks. watch him backtrack though...he'd come here like a shot. Didn't really rule himself out did he? Said he or his chairman hadn't been approached and didn't expect to be (probably because he knew we were persuing Redknapp and expected him to take the job). I fully expect it to be Hughes now and if not him, it'll be Shearer. I don't think we're stupid enough to lower ourself to Steve McLaren and didn't Ashley say he thought of him in the same vein as his ex-wife? As for Van Gaal, Mourinho, Houillier, etc.. I think we can forget that line of enquiry. What Shearergol said is spot on - i doubt they'd take kindly to being 'second choice' which we all now know they would be.

Happy Face 29 Posted January 12, 2008 Share Posted January 12, 2008 On a side note, Leazes is loving this. He will be because he's a dafty. Why would Morshley's (limited) mistakes excuse Shepherds catalogue of faults? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nate 0 Posted January 12, 2008 Share Posted January 12, 2008 This is all hauntingly reminiscent of Shepherd's decison to sack Bobby. Can anyone else see McClaren end up being Mort's Souness? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ewerk 26118 Posted January 12, 2008 Share Posted January 12, 2008 What a complete and utter fucking cock up. I justified the timing of Allardyce's sacking by believing that Ashley and Mort are clever enough to have something up their sleeve and now it turns out that a.) They have absolutely no idea how to select a top class manager and b.) They have absolutely no idea how to recruit the man they want. Once again we're a fucking laughing stock, well fucking done.
