Holden McGroin 5086 Posted March 30, 2006 Share Posted March 30, 2006 Imagine Hughes coming here and being a success - next stop Old Trafford. Hughes? No thankyou. I still think it's gonna be Allardyce. Can't wait to say I told you so if he is appointed, so I can show my knowledge of all things football 112430[/snapback] And if he isn't appointed are you going to stay quiet?

snakehips 0 Posted March 30, 2006 Share Posted March 30, 2006 The Pearce love-in going on in the press is hilarious. 112443[/snapback] When Distin was sent off at 'the bridge' (as the media darlings like to call it), and Pearce was interviewed about it, I was sitting there thinking, 'Go on, Stuart, let that fuckin idiot of a ref have a piece of your mind'. But, no, Pearce said some limp-wristed bollocks along the lines of 'he'll get no criticism from me'. Pearce lost a lot of support from me then.

Isegrim 8948 Posted March 30, 2006 Share Posted March 30, 2006 As Alex said though, he's Shepherd's mouthpiece and thus represents Shepherd's views. I still think there is no chance of the useless fat man appointing a foreign manager. He'll go for the likes of Bruce and Curbishley before he even considers a foreigner, no matter what he says in the papers. And basically, that says it all - Shepherd hasn't got a clue and isn't fit to manage a multi-million pound football club. Everytime I have a look at the table, see Birmingham's position and think about us still being managerless, I shudder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Howaythetoon 0 Posted March 30, 2006 Share Posted March 30, 2006 (edited) Oliver's entitled to his opinion like but if he's writing a news piece, shouldn't he leave the opinion stuff out and just do the reporting? This is why some fans felt compelled to create the Hitzfeld site because we have lunatics like this 'representing' us in the media. Regarding Houllier, I'm not so sure about him. Again his CV is fantastic and no-one can claim he did a poor job at Liverpool, he's a good manager I guess but I just couldn't see it working. And do we really want Phil fucking Thompson at our club? *shudders* Does anyone think this 'report' is the club's way of forcing O'Neill into making a decision or to invite other managers to write in? I honestly think O'Neill will take the England job if offered, which I believe will happen. If we have to go British (sigh) then Big Sam is my number once choice. Pearce has done fuck all, Hughes needs to do what he's done this season for a number of years first and we all know he's Man Utd bound http://www.footballexpo.com/news/msg/777.html anyway as for the likes of Curbishley, fuck me he admitted to feeling unease at all the speculation regarding his FA talks, imagine what he'd be like with 50,000 fans booing him, that bottom lip would cause earth quakes.

LeazesMag 0 Posted March 30, 2006 Share Posted March 30, 2006 Oliver says "I hope", so maybe he isn't as close to the thinking as some appear to believe. I would take Mark Hughes as our next manager. I don't see what Stuart Pearce has done to warrant anything, he has only took over Keegans players and team and since he took over have stopped making progress as they were under Keegan. The only thing he does is dance around on the touchline like a stupid cunt, for show, like Strachan and amazingly the press think its wonderful and some supporters take this crap on board.

Craig 6321 Posted March 30, 2006 Share Posted March 30, 2006 The one thing that is going to annoy the fuck out of me if we get O'Neill is that Oliver is gonna bang on about it for years on how he reported it after his drive home from the Wigan cup defeat....

LeazesMag 0 Posted March 30, 2006 Share Posted March 30, 2006 Oliver is a xenophobic wanker of the highest order. It's quite embarrassing when you think that his comments on Souness' appointment were along the lines of "He's the best British manager around, Chelsea wanted him" - yeah, right. And now he does it again and tries to promote British no-marks ahead of proven international managers (O'Neill excluded). As Alex said though, he's Shepherd's mouthpiece and thus represents Shepherd's views. I still think there is no chance of the useless fat man appointing a foreign manager. He'll go for the likes of Bruce and Curbishley before he even considers a foreigner, no matter what he says in the papers. And basically, that says it all - Shepherd hasn't got a clue and isn't fit to manage a multi-million pound football club. I'd rather we tried someone like Martin Jol before we went for one of the useless British managers. It's frightening to look at how the media are wanking over Pearce, whose team are 12th in the league, when someone like Jol is on course to finish in a Champions League spot. If Jol was English, they would never stop talking about him. 112427[/snapback] so you think he'll go for Bruce then Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Howaythetoon 0 Posted March 30, 2006 Share Posted March 30, 2006 C.V and Experience should count above all else, O'Neill has both if you take Premiership into account where as Hitzfeld also has both, but he lacks Premiership experience so I can see why we would opt for O'Neill. Plus he is represented by Proactive Sports like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You made a class post the other day and I think it made us all realise (it certainly did me) that we share a lot of similar feelings about the club, Shepherd et al. I would have thought you of all people though would appreciate the folly of only going for British managers given it meant we ended up with Souness last time round.

Isegrim 8948 Posted March 30, 2006 Share Posted March 30, 2006 Another reason why Anal O. is against Hitzfeld might be that Anal tried to get an interview with him, but Hitzfeld refused. Not like Geordie boys Lee Clark and Robbie Elliott who always have a minute for the local press, rather like Laurent Robert who once tried to kill him... On the other hand, Martin O'Neill could become the new Brett Emerton... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Howaythetoon 0 Posted March 30, 2006 Share Posted March 30, 2006 I actually don't think FS is the one who wants a British manager, I think it's Hall and that side of the club that want a passionate man who knows the lingo so to speak, who the fans can "identify" with.

Most of the other big city clubs wouldn't even have a chance of these managers, which rips the theory that they "aren't fit to run a top club" up for arsepaper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
