I've recently bought it, wanted the toffs version which is better but they've lost the license.

Pele v Newcastle United at the HK stadium...... At Hillsborough.... And finally, at Stamford Bridge.....

As robin robin says it best in GIFs, here's his response live from his kitchen down under....

Banned for that?

We should've got Howard Kendall in at NUFC in the 80s, did a really good job at Everton, (but was a boyhood Mag).

Good read. 👍 One of the comments has a scouse MLF version. Scouse mackems indeed! Barry Gray 24 MIN AGO As an Evertonian living in Bournemouth, the failure of the EFC board to recruit Howe given the numerous opportunities they had shows everything that is wrong within the EFC hierarchy. Howe, (a boyhood Evertonian), worked a modern-day miracle with the Cherries on a tiny budget. He would have been far more considered and circumspect with Moshiri’s money and we might be challenging top 6 today, rather than relegation fodder.

Never heard of him at all.

'Welcome back, Isaac. There's been a few changes since you last here. It's a mixture of good news and bad news.' 'What's the good news?' 'Well, we're now good.' 'And the bad news?' 'You're still not good.'

That's insane if they even think about appointing him?

He'd be like the Cuban president saying Salud! Salud! to everybody at the embassy party in godfather as every fucker else runs away.

I think it's hard to compare as they really were different era's, had Eddie been around then would he have the knowledge and tools he does now? I'd very much doubt it. KK's an old man now and happily retired but I still think he was cutting edge for his time here, Europe was sitting up and taking notice of NUFC, not just here, the old mag I think it was had a few cuttings taken from Spain and France at the time and we were news like maybe Ajax's academy for example might be news here. Eddie would absolutely storm it if you beamed him back into a early 90s football club with his 2020s experience and know how. Keegan didn't have that. Even SBR acknowledges how much his European experience after England helped him become an even better manager as did Eddie acknowledge his time going around Europe helped him in between jobs. KK just walked off a six year golfing retirement in Spain and had to handle players he probably had never heard of and then grow the club with a few internal battles with the board when it was needed. I recall Terry Butcher spending a similar amount as KK did the season after we stormed it and nearly getting themselves relegated to the third. He's very much a man of his time and took inspiration from Shankley but put his own stamp on it. Obviously not pointing any fingers at anyone on here but I can't stand the revisionist bollocks that gets spouted about him these days by daft little cunts whose only real knowledge seems to be sky punting the love it video or showing him slumped over the anfield hoarding with Tyler's voice actually loving it himself as he no doubt was stroking himself. The bloke deserves far, far more respect than he gets nationally imo.

The backpass rule crippled some teams early on, we thrived on it.

Old school managers in the early to mid 90s couldn't cope with KKs teams, he was ahead of his time in a way plus the players looked up to him as he was the man as a player when they were growing up. It would be similar to 2021 Bruce saying we howped we can limit them and a klopp next door saying get into these, they're shite and so's their manager.

But I thought they were ready to go?

You wouldn't say it to arsenal TVs face.

Says BD whilst holed up in 'Nam. (Cheltenham).

'Ja' thought he had his first pube till he pissed out of it tbh.

I didn't realise they were that shit ATM so hopefully no eggs on faces on here come NYD? Anyway, whatever the result, Yewkshere, Yewkshere Jimmy Savile Peter Sutcliffe nee patter cunts.

Exactly.

No, they were always getting rid, just kept him while they got a new man in and kept the media happy by giving him his 1000th game. I meant imagine if they'd kept him to this point in time and would we now have a shot at maybe making a good run at the play off spots?

He looks a canny kid as well with his Wraith pose.

Imagine an alternative universe where the new owners heed the sage advice of merson et al and 'give brucey a chance under the new ownership, see what he can do?' etc, etc.

If we're not on our game anything can happen but we're usually on a our game these days so most of head says home win, heart says home win, small pessimistic, forty odd years of hurt part of head says wait and see.
