New toon Boss

Opinions please

[TC]

Yep, definately think they should have one !

[mark]

don\'t suppose it\'ll make much difference who comes in. They\'ll end up getting shafted by shepard and hall like the rest of em.

but from the supposed candidates:

Glenn hoddle.... fell off me chair laughing with that one. I\'m sure his soothsayer and general \'mystic meg\' assistant would go down a treat in the strawberry. She could give readings before the match

El tel. had a bit snigger here as well, I doubt as the board would want competition in the \'spiv\' department

Steve Bruce former wallsend boys club lad, done wonders at Birmingham, I\'m sure If he wants to come he will and I doubt there\'d be little Birmingham could do to stop him.

Souness Now surely no one was serious about that one. One Liverpool cast off manager should be lesson enough. They\'ll be telling us Lawrie MacMenamy would be good for the club next!

Houlier. Maybe(ish) He might do all right if got rid of dyer immediately and kicked the rest of em up the arse, but don\'t think he has the balls.

Now here\'s one cause a few bristles. Did wonders at one club with no money to spend, kept them in the prem for ages with a bunch of wrinklies and nobodies....Peter Reid! Now don\'t laugh. He is a good and passionate manager. It would be worth distributing it as a rumour just to see what reaction comes from wearside. In fact I\'m gonna go and post the rumour on a few sites right now!

so who would I go for.....Of the candidates up so far, maybe Steve Bruce. El Tel/Shearer combo?? It would be either truly outstanding or a complete disaster.


whoever it has, they need to be able to not only command the players but have the strength to stand up the board. I for one am starting to get the feeling we are sinking backwards to the bad old days of McKeag and Seymour

As a red & white I think they have made a great choice Souness is the man LOL.

Not sure about Souness,probably the best of the rest,don\'t think he\'ll take any shti off anyone.I wonder if Shearer gets on with him,I bet he does somehow !Best of luck to him.
Think El-tel will end up at Sunderland cos they\'ll be looking for a new gaffer shortly.Think they could do with a new chairman as well.
Nice to see Mclaren, Bruce,Oleary stay Loyal to there clubs,good on them.Its a pity Shepherd could\'nt have shown a bit more respect to Bobby.............then again its all about ££££££££££££££££ now.

[Tat]

not too sure about O\'leary.the other 2 yeah.Mac had a good think about it then decided he could trust Stevo more than Fat Freddy.

[alan]

Take it you\'re a Smoggie m8,he\'s been a good chairman for yous seems a nice bloke.

many a true word. IMHO gibson is the only director in the north east who actually cares about the game rather the balance sheet. bob murray, freddie shepard, douglas hall...birds of a feather.

If they need to they will shaft every single sunderland and Newcastle player/supporter in order to keep there pockets lined.

Souness. Well, I remain to be convinced. All I see is a less healthy version of Dalglish. I think there were better mangers available for the job, but if the truth were not I\'d bet a large wedge on the fact that souness is the cheapest of the bunch to emply

looks like I\'m not alone...

Should be a canny game at the weekend,i wonder if he\'s waching it from the stands (seats),bet theres some good banter,hope Souness is used to having a full house (stadium,not when the lads come round,re Dyer etc) because he\'s got a dodgy ticker,Ewood park has never been sold out.

[mark]

upon reflection, I would honestly have rather seen peter reid instead.

I give him 18 months at most.

[alan]

Hope he gets a few good results at the start

[peter.m]

Not an appointment that sets the world alight.

I think he\'ll be s**t or bust. Either he\'ll win something straight away or we\'ll go down the tube.

I\'ll be interested to see hoe Shearer gets on with him, love him or spit the dummy?

fat freddie will have sold him by next month, and I doubt that bellamy and dyer will still be there at the end of the season
