Craig 6300 Posted December 11, 2005 Share Posted December 11, 2005 I'd love to find exactly what the quote was he made at the press conference when he joined as manager so forgive me if I paraphrase but I'm sure it was something like: "This is the best group of players I've ever had to work with..." If that's true then, either the press have mis-quoted him or he's totally going back on his opinions with this line: Newcastle boss Graeme Souness has branded the squad he inherited from Sir Bobby Robson as rotten.

Gemmill 34323 Posted December 11, 2005 Share Posted December 11, 2005 All I see is an unsubstantiated quote from the Sunday friggin People. Shame on you for trying to get some mileage out of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tommyboy 0 Posted December 11, 2005 Share Posted December 11, 2005 Wasn't the first one at an introductory press conference? I'd expect no different to be said from any manager coming into a job, just pr fluff really. The second of course being an objective and fair assessment after the fact Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJS 3972 Posted December 11, 2005 Share Posted December 11, 2005 From the outside looking in he was right in what he said when he joined. The remarks in the People are also fair enough (if accurate) imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the beginning he said that it was an excellent group of players that didn't need wholesale changes. He won his first 6-7 games in charge against piss-poor opposition, but when the going got tough, he suddenly changed his tune and started blaming the previous management and the squad. But I guess that's just what we've come to expect from Souness - excuses, excuses and more excuses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
