Big Sam Gone

This thread isn't about SAFC...it's about your lot being a laughing stock yet again.

so you would accept the style of football then Tony ??

players who are played out of position week in week out - tactics against "lesser Clubs" all wrong ,when it is plain for all to see Sam is happy to start and finish with at least a point - if 3 come our way ,well its a bonus !!!


Hardly say we are a laughing stock - misguided by a man whose tactics were at best poor -

So would you be happy if Mr Keane dealt up dross tactics ,mis shaped formations and basic mistakes even the average football fan can see through ,never mind the opposing manager



Not my cup of tea ,sad he failed ,but i and many others expect at least the formation to be right - maybe you dont
 
What do you mean IF Bri? :D we've been watching players out of position, crap tactics & crap football for years. Alright you aint had the most entertaining football lately, but at least you aint in the relegation battle, looking towards players like Q.Fortune to bail you out.
 
aye maybe so keith - my phone has had to be put on the charger again ,after the amount of txts i have had from Safc fans ,funny thing is though ,they are almost unanimous to a man ,,that deep down they are scared of what ashley is up to - maybe he is about to unleash a whole load of money :D:D:D:D and appoint a "Great"



or just bring misery face Shearer back :mad::mad::mad: (loved him as a player - but he has no man management skills ,never mind Football Club Manager skills)

we will see - Ashley isnt worth Squillions by not thinking about his next big cash outlay ,at whatever business he is involved in
 
Unleash a load of money? done that as well, :D.

It's gonna take years to turn things around, even if we get relegated again I still believe the club is in better hands and is heading in the right direction, just gotta keep hoping I suppose.

I think the problem at Newcastle is you's had a few years up there amongst the Man U's & Arsenal's and the "newer" fans expect it every year. Ya right about Cashley, he's no mug, except when he's standing in the crowd with that shirt on that don't fit. :D

Good Luck!

Martin Jol is looking for a job.
 
Heard a good one today on 5 live, someone text in with "if you took out alan shearers teeth and replaced them with seats he still wouldnt make a coach" it tickled me a bit but then again im a sunderland supporter who happens to work with a load of geordies.....cant wait for work 2mora!!!
As for shearer : Right man, Wrong time.
 
if shearer is the next manager
i wonder if he says

i have to be the highest payed manager in the league
just as he said
i have to be the highest payed player at newcastle

because he loves the toon

i think he loves his stuffed wallet a tadge better
 
bring back gullitt!!!:D
or dalglish
or soumess
or robson
or keegan
messiahs everyone!! :D

what about beardsley he could beat up all the young players to get the best out of them!! oh hes already tried that!!

still he was so popular they even named a part of the river tyne after his haircut...........

St Peters Basin!!!:D
 
Maclaren is 10/1.
In 3 yrs he finished 7th,won the Carling cup and got to a UEFA cup final,granted we lost.
That would make him a God on Tyneside,would'nt it?
 
tooly - can you change your avatar mate?...not only is it not Christmas but it's very distracting if you know what I mean ;):red:...plus I know who she is :o:red: (which shows just how much time I spend on the web :o:D)
 
How can people say Shearer is the only way forward. I for one hope he gets the job. No doubt he would go from Massiah to zero in a season or are people so blinded up there they would never give him stick? Keano was a much cleverer player and worked under much better managers than Shearer and he's not exactly setting the world alight yet is he?
 
Who ever takes over in the role has to be given the SOLE right to manage the team and let him get on with that job. Too often player power at Newcastle has prevented them from going forward. What happened to Gullit when the Golden boy spat his dummy? Bobby over saw the scrags that spent more time fighting with each other than playing football.

The most successful manager are the one's that make the difficult decisions and are given the FULL support of their chairmen/owners, Ferguson with Beckham, Stam and Van Nistlerooy, Wenger with Viera, Anelka and Henry were all shipped out when they were either disruptive, not pulling their weight or became too big for their club!

I see the Toon went straight out after Allerdyce went and bought a player for 5.5m. Now what if the new manager doesn't see that player in their plans? who's making decisions like that? I thought it was the manager who decided who was best for the team?

If people who are not managers want to manage (Abrahamovic is another)....they should go out and get their badges like established managers have had to. Clubs aren't playthings for the rich! It's fans money and hopes and dreams at the end of the day
 
Can anyone honestly say who should be the next manager and would fulfil all expectations?

Alan Shearer would be mad to accept the poisoned chalice and the fans that are crying out for him are deluded :mad:

He may not be the only way forward but he is defo the fans choice. Was Roy Keane a Mackem legend...no. Were the fans chanting his name from the stands...no. To say Roy keane was a more clever player is rubbish. Big Al lead his line better than any other english centre forward of the past 10 years. Roy keane had heart but was a thug. And to say he played under better managers?? He played under one better manager in Alex Ferguson (the best possible) But big Al had 5 years under the guidance of Sir Bobby Robson, another geordie legend. Not to mention Dalglish, Keegan and all the england managers he played for.

Roy keane took the job coz he's irish and is being paid well. He has no alligiance to you mackems whatsoever!! You will soon find this out when you are relegated and he no longer fancies the struggle of the championship. His loyalty is to his irish mates in the board room.

I agree Big Al would be mad to take the job but name a better realistic target?? Remember he would not come in alone, he would have to have at least two top coaches in there with him. No one expects miracles, but at least the fans know he is giving his all and everyone is pulling in the same direction.

Newcastle fans shouldn't have to have those expectations dashed every season. They are consistently in the top earning clubs in the world every year. Surely that should equate to more than one (token) trophy in 40 odd years?

Bad mismanagement, more so from those at the top who have not allowed the club to be run correctly! with the manager running the team, not the players or the board!

How much is costing each week for a striker that isn't exactly chomping at the bit to get back into the first team and for nothing more than a thug to be languishing in a cell over New Year?

Re: Roy Keane....He had two of the best managers in British footie history in Sir Alex and Cloughie!!!!

What's more important is that he has the support of the board and IMHO will be given the time to succeed. He is straight to the point and not devious and IMHO belives that he himself needs the time to establish a team that can survive in the premiership for the long term and if that takes being relegated this season then he can build on successes and learn from the failures.

He saw all of that at Old Trafford with Sir Alex rebuilding many great teams and a patient, loyal board behind him!
 
My office at work is made up of 1 man u, 2 sunderland, 2 maggs, 1 liverpool,1 hatlepool and 1 leeds fan.

For the last day and abit we had none stop banter over this topic and narrowed it down to...

Leeds doing well but never going to be as good as they used to be.

Man U going to be great until Alex goes then who knows what will happen, past shown big players and cash dont always bring results.


Pool not worth talking about lol

Liverpool abit like Newcastle when under Keegan/Robson..always clipping at the heals but never going that bit further.

Sunderland..going down again but bounce back next season with Keane still in charge

Toon..Poor season once again that wish to see good football and our days happy with a good cup run and to be 5th-7th.
