NewJerseyMag 0 Posted January 25, 2006 Share Posted January 25, 2006 Trevor Brooking was in charge when they were relegated.. 84479[/snapback] Pedant. Brooking took over when Roeder got sick, but if I remember there were only a handful of games to go. The West Ham fans comments I seem to remember were good coach, very pleasant fella but not so good in the managers role. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeazesMag 0 Posted January 25, 2006 Share Posted January 25, 2006 I was reading an article about clubs that switch managers often versus those that dont. The stable clubs had the better results.

The managers keep their jobs because they get better results. 84459[/snapback] Or vice versa??? http://sport.independent.co.uk/football/ne...ticle337749.ece Didnt Ferguson win nowt for 3 or so years, but they didnt sack him.... 84461[/snapback] what exactly does Graeme Souness have to do with Alex Ferguson ?

LeazesMag 0 Posted January 25, 2006 Share Posted January 25, 2006 of course, rather than use hindsight ? Have you never heard of making a decision and having the courage of your convictions. You can't criticise a decision you were happy with yourself .... seems only correct and right to me anyway On the other hand I can criticise those who were dumb enough to say give Souness time to be successful because as you say, I got it right ! 84344[/snapback] Ultimately though, the buck stops with Shepherd. He got Gullit wrong, he got Dalglish wrong, and now he's got Souness wrong. That fans may or may not have been happy with those appointments is irrelevant. The mistake is Shepherd's, nobody else's. 84345[/snapback] The vast majority of supporters thought he had Gullit and Dalglish right. It isn't irrelevant to point this out at all, it means if someone thinks Shepherd is a dumb cunt then they must be too especially if you think he should have foresight that you yourself don't possess. I can see in Gemmills world, he is never wrong, he's just allowed to change his mind, use hindsight or look into the future..if only 84411[/snapback] I'M never wrong?? You're the one who (employing hindsight) casts yourself as the man who "KNEW from the very beginning things would turn out like this etc. blah blah". 84433[/snapback] .... but I did [no hindsight at all as you know] didn't I ? 84450[/snapback] I KNOW that every time you post on here you'll make some mention of "those that said give him time" and how wrong they were. Maybe your magical powers are rubbing off on me. Or maybe you're just like a broken record. 84472[/snapback] give it time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know that you support him and indeed the club has made significant player purchases over the years since he became Chairman. However, at times when we should have bought (Keegan, 2nd place, SBR CL place) we "kept our poweder dry" and other times bought out of sheer panic (Luque). Also, the timing of sackings have been ludicrous. I just dont have confidence in the man to select the right candidate at the right time. He could easily get rid of Souness and wheel in Bruce!

Craig 6284 Posted January 25, 2006 Share Posted January 25, 2006 Shepherd partly for appointing that idiot and sacking SBR at the wrong time (although can't argue with the funds he gives out) Souness for being just an idiot Douglas Hall for being the parasite waste of manfat that he is 84139[/snapback] Things are 20 times better than they were before Shepherd and the Halls mate. Before 1992 Jim Smith was our 8th EIGHTH choice of manager in 1988, even fuckwits such as Souness wouldn't have looked at us, all we were was a stepping stone for managers AND players, even Geordies. 84151[/snapback] That my friend is very true, but as i only started supporting the Toon since Ossie was in charge as i was only bout 7 at the time i can't really state that, but when you look back it's clearly alot better with the club nearly going bust n such and it must have been shocking having to see the likes of Pedro, Waddle, Gazza all going onto pastures new 84194[/snapback] that is true mate, and if you look at that and around at other chairman at other clubs we could do a lot lot worse than Shepherd in spite of his faults, for a start not many people would be prepared to put up the amount of money it would take to buy out Shepherd without wanting a say in the club and they couldn't do better regarding backing managers with cash, an area where Shepherd has excelled in. He has only appointed one manager that supporters generally weren't happy with, and even then some backed him as we have seen on this message board. 84304[/snapback] .....couldnt resist! Basically the cash should have been made available whoever was in charge cos it's been there to dole out. Some Chairmen might not have but that doesnt make FF God Almighty for having actually done it. Re everything else, he's a PR disaster who brings the club into disrepute and brings standards down generally. He makes us look like a laughing stock with his soundbites and undermines the managers that he does bring in in the process.
