Gemmill 35417 Posted December 19, 2005 Author Share Posted December 19, 2005 You know fine well what the point is Gemmill, your insistance that you always stick with a manager for at least two years, even when you know beyond reasonable doubt he is shite. At least now you have verified your position. You might not have been happy with relegation, but you would have been happy with the choices that led us there, rather than revival under Robson. Sorry Alex, relegation with Gullit was a nailed on certainty, don't forget Shearer and Lee would have left. We were right in the clarts man. 69577[/snapback] Sorry, I didn't realise that the alternative to Souness was a guaranteed Robson-like revival under a new manager. What's his name? 69580[/snapback] Oh ffs Gemmill. I don't know who his name is, there are no guarantees. I would be fairly confident that Hitzfeld might be an improvement if we could get him though. But your attitude is it doesn't matter who's available, all managers must get a minimum of two years regardless. Even Souness. Even Gullit. Even Dalglish. 69586[/snapback] Gullit was an extreme case - he alienated half of the dressing room with bizarre selection policies and wouldn't give Rob Lee a squad number for no other reason than that he was friends with Shearer. He made his position at the club untenable. But I still think it's ridiculous that you're arguing as if relegation under Gullit and revival under Robson were known facts at the time and it was just an easy choice between them. Funnily enough, I think Hitzfeld would be an improvement too, but I don't think we have a hope in hell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't have to be a genius to work that one out. I'd also like to know why we have no chance of landing Hitzfeld, being one of the biggest clubs in the EPL, seeing as he had an interview at Hearts. You see to me, the manager is all important, I'd rather spend a fortune on a good manager than any player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig 6321 Posted December 19, 2005 Share Posted December 19, 2005 The difference begins with 'B' - it's the Board. Over the long term Liverpool has, quite simply been far better run off the field than us, which in turn tranlates itself into on the field success. 69566[/snapback] This the 'Keegan thread' part 2?

Either that or the interview with Hearts and only consisted of three words ("Would you?" and "No"). Last Saturday (live on TV) Hitzfeld ruled out to take over a new job until next summer. And couple of days ago he described the ManUre job as "probably too stressful" (though that was in Jormany's tabloids ;-) ). Anyway, Newcastle should make sure that they hire a high profile manager the next time and not flick again through a list of Fat Fred's likely drinking buddies again...

I imagine Renton said something about going for better managers. As I've argued on N-O my realistic (but bloody frustrated) view is that getting a Hitzfeld or similar would be great but I'd always be afraid they'd leave sharpish if Man U/Madrid come calling. What we need imo is a Wenger type "blast from nowhere" like Keegan was to some extent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pilchard Chops 0 Posted December 19, 2005 Share Posted December 19, 2005 God forbid Souness is even remotely successful. I have not supported Newcastle for 40 odd years to watch more of this drivel for any longer than is neccessary. Fuck Off Souness I want to watch football.

sammynb 2933 Posted December 20, 2005 Share Posted December 20, 2005 I think the whole situation was summed up by a chelski fans that sat with some mates and I at the pub last night during the highlights program. After watching the West Ham game he said the rest of the premier league is over the moon at newcastle's last two results because now Souness won't be sacked and with him in charge newcastle are going nowhere!
