No, it's dull. No wonder, it was started by Souness' lovechild.

Expect us overrun them in the first couple of minutes... ... only to lose ground due to some help from a dodgy Russian referee with his assistants from the US and UK and a fourth match official from France

2-1 Newcastle, Souness getting another week.

They are just waiting for Souness to get the sack and to avoid paying Newcastle a compensation tbh.

She's any one of the last three signed up users tbh 65847[/snapback] So basically Skol was right (for once) about her being a women...

If reports are true of 102,000 pounds per week, he's made something like 1/2 million quid whilst being on the sick. Could you imagine making that kind of money on the sick! MEDIC!!!!!! 65491[/snapback] I am struggling to make this kind of money when I am fully fit tbh.

Are you watching the Australian version of Newcastle United? 65423[/snapback] No, why do you ask? 65426[/snapback] The Newcastle United I have seen in the last couple of years (already under SBR) are just kicking the ball up front over the heads of a midfield, especially when Bramble is in the team. I haven't really seen attempts for this being stopped, not one year ago and not in the most recent games.

Hurra.

Not only that, she also seems to be shizophrenic..

I think there are even less players who enjoy playing with him...

Well hopefully the next one isn't walking in declaring "this is the best squad I've ever worked with" but then won't be able to beat teams above Sunday-league format and demand that he needs more time and to build his own team...

Have you and Graeme already registered a partnership in London.

What I also always wonder about is what is with the substitutes. Here in Jormany they always start warming up at the beginning of the second half. At most teams in England you always just see the manager turning around and order the player to unzip his cloak and jump on the field few seconds later.

I do. The club's problem with "bad luck" in injuries predates the arrival. Though, the vast amount of muscle injuries is an indicator for something not being right in training and preparations for matches. 65195[/snapback] I don't. Our injury 'woes' are nothing new but in terms of casualties and ailments. 65203[/snapback] I stated that the "problems" at Newcastle predate Souness. But he hasn't addressed them. They physios are still shite. The risk injuries like torn hamstring ans and strains can be vastly reduced by warming up, training and nuitrition. If every other week a player at Newcastle gets such an injury then clearly something is not right. Also the lengths of the absence of these injuries most times depends on the immidiate treatment. At Newcastle players do need to long to get fit again. Who is do blame for this if not the managing staff?

As we are at this what does it cost to replace an old manager with a new one.

I think the code word will be 'proper'.

50 cent.

I think we will get a good result and remain in the limbo.

In the end common sense prevails.

I have seen him in about two or three games for Villa and think he really shows glimpses of becoming a good player. As I said regular first team football is doing him very well as it looks. With the huge transfer sum Newcastle paid I think it's too early to cut the losses.

And the juvenile delinquency is reaching an all-time high...

It was deluded when the tactical inaptitude became obvious as well as the inability to keep players fit to think that giving the manager more time (and money) would change anything of these problems. Please I still want to read a rational argument why keeping an inapt manager in charge who has been producing one bad performance after another is or has been a decision of common sense. And I didn't say that he should have been sacked from the first minute. But I always thought that his time in charge would and should be short. I'd loved it if I had been proven wrong (so far)... 65082[/snapback] I think we're all agreed that having given the bloke time we can see that he's not up to the job. Yes, some people were prepared to give him more time than others, but when was the right time to sack him? I still think last close season was too early - what is the point in giving a manager less than a season in the job? There's no way that that is enough time. IMO. He needed to be given time to succeed or fail. He's failed, so we move on. 65086[/snapback] With probably two seasons that have to be written off. Well done. If there had been any indication that he was up to the job I would have never advocated sacking him.

Well, I think it would have been the same scenario as now. The probably only solution would have been implementing someone as caretaker. Who knows, maybe with the squad he had at his proposal he even would have qualified for Europe. I can understand those people who were saying to give Souness until the end of last season. In my eyes it was madness not to part company with him in the summer.
