Park Life 70 Posted January 20, 2009 Share Posted January 20, 2009 There can only be one reason he's gone public with his contract discussions and that is to put pressure on the club. I doubt there is a piece of paper anywhere that he can just sign. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Park Life 70 Posted January 20, 2009 Author Share Posted January 20, 2009 So who do you propose will be? Wise? We'll get a top line coach in the summer and it is clear if we put the hysteria aside that there are still many attractive things about managing in the PL. I refuse to believe they aren't looking for a top line manager. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, yeah I've heard all that stuff, but it doesn't make sense. JK is playing to an audience (us, the players, transfer targets), he's not upto it and they know that.

That view defies logic I'm afraid. The only reason to own a football club is to own a PL one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monkeys Fist 39047 Posted January 20, 2009 Share Posted January 20, 2009 So how to explain the madness of fat mike's reign? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Park Life 70 Posted January 20, 2009 Author Share Posted January 20, 2009 So how to explain the madness of fat mike's reign? Got in over his head, bad appointments, the finance markets going against him, dealing with debt from the previous regime. Easy. But I don't believe for a moment he's an idiot.

Monkeys Fist 39047 Posted January 20, 2009 Share Posted January 20, 2009 I don't think he's an idiot. I think he hasn't a clue about football tho, nor about this club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaythesouthernmag 0 Posted January 20, 2009 Share Posted January 20, 2009 He isnt an Idiot he`s a businessman, who has made himself a lot of money. He spent £200m + on buying the club and paying debts and I`m sure he had intentions of spending some, not crazy amounts, of money on the squad but the economic downturn his hit him hard, I`m not sympathetic towards his situation as a lot of his decisions have been flawed regarding NUFC, ie Wise/Lambastard, not backing KK etc The reality of the situation is I dont think he has the money to put in, say the £10m JFK is banging on about is all that is available then I kind of believe it, although prices for players are sky high thanks to the likes of City and Spurs, we have got to be realistic with who we expect to get in without selling. Would you sell Given for say £8m if that would be spent on a creative midfielder bearing in mind Harper is a very good keeper I would definately be punting Zog about for £7-8m to any takers as his heart is clearly not in it and spend it on a couple of full backs, not world beaters but solid pro`s It`s times like this you need a wheeler dealer with some with some savvy in the market, regretably we have wise who has fuck all experience and JFK who is a bit of a fuckwitt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest alex Posted January 20, 2009 Share Posted January 20, 2009 Be lucky to get half that for N'Zogbia imo. If we got offered around £3-4m he'd be sold as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd think we should take that. He clearly doesn't have his heart in it any longer. It's a profit as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Row Z 0 Posted January 20, 2009 Share Posted January 20, 2009 Can you think of any top line managers who would work under Wise? FFS i don't think any Top Shop manager would work under that little shite. Money talks. Lots of managers want to manage in the EPL and moreso a big club, ffs Sunderland aparantly had endless applications from Europe. If the money was shit though nobody would want to come to join Ashley's circus. To summarise, the best we can hope for is to avoid relegation and then get reamered from some foreign mercenary. Or look forward to another year of looking at Kinnear's greasy hair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
