Kevin Carr's Gloves 3176 Posted December 14, 2005 Share Posted December 14, 2005 I've got to say I think so far Shepherd has been a far better chairman than the Glazer's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeazesMag 0 Posted December 14, 2005 Share Posted December 14, 2005 I agree as well... However Leazes seems to think for some reason that Shepherd IS doing a good job... 67458[/snapback] question for you Craig, seeing as you can't name too many you would prefer to Shepherd. How do you rate this lot : Westwood Seymour McKeag Forbes SJH Shepherd and this little lot Ken Bates Doug Ellis Bob Murray Milan Mandrovic [whatever his name is] Rupert Lowe ? Brown [West Ham] Peter Ridsdale Mohammed Fayed ? [Everton] ? Gould [those 2 blokes at Birmingham] Delia Smith Sam Haman [Cardiff] Freddie Shepherd .... to name the more high profile ones ....... 67520[/snapback] Why are you listing past Newcastle chairmen and chairpersons of other clubs? Shepherd is still shite IMO - saying he's not as shit as x, y or z is not going to make him better IMO. 67629[/snapback] whether you think he's shit or not, the difference between him and Souness, is that the manager, in the football sense, is the most important man in the football club, not the chairman. That is what bothers us, that is what we focus on. Financially, the chairman is the most important man in the club, and from that angle, Shepherd has done a good job. It IS possible for a manager to succeed under Shepherd, which is what it strikes me you are saying, but that is just down to opinion. Before you disagree, Bobby Robson did well, although not as well as we would like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig 6284 Posted December 14, 2005 Share Posted December 14, 2005 What I'm saying is, so long as Shepherd is chairman, I don't think a manager WILL succeed to his full potential. Before you say it, it's not me saying that Souness is shit because of Shepherd - Souness is shit because Souness is shit and needs replacing. IMO Shepherd is shit and I'd prefer it if someone with a better footballing knowledge was running the show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest alex Posted December 14, 2005 Share Posted December 14, 2005 I think Shepherd's ok. Not great, but ok. We could do better but we could do a lot worse tbh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Sima Posted December 14, 2005 Share Posted December 14, 2005 Another point, you know the Craig Bellamy that LM wants to give a knee trembler to? Is this the same Craig Bellamy that was so mind-numbingly stupid and lacked discipline which got himself banned for 6 games out of 12 in the Champions League? Of course I'm not forgetting the winner v Feyenoord btw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
