Kevin Carr's Gloves 3887 Posted August 29, 2005 Share Posted August 29, 2005 The time to get rid of Souness is Thursday morning (not exactly now I know). On Thursday the window is shut no more players moving anywhere. We then have the weekend off and a week and 3 days of the caretaker manager to organise the team how he wants. It also gives FF time to organise a replacement for a*seface (apologies Preacher mag fans). However if i had been in charge I would be doing that now (actually if i was in charge we wouldnt have got the useless get in the first place). Souness couldnt manage a bus route on Arran never mind a premiership team. I still don't understand how anyone can back him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil K 0 Posted August 29, 2005 Share Posted August 29, 2005 Yawn, same old crap. 21128[/snapback] Thats the problem - its same old crap, all right - but from the manager and powers that be at Newcastle. If you're happy at how things are, fine. Doesnt say much for your awareness, but fine. The rest of us however want action before this bastard takes away Sunderland record low amount of premiership points in taking us down despite spending vast amounts.

Phil K 0 Posted August 29, 2005 Share Posted August 29, 2005 Who WOULD you have got after SBR? 21134[/snapback] How about Hirtzfeld ? He was available - but Shepherd wanted a "British" manager. And what a wonderful job he's done, eh ? Sold our better players on the cheap and is willing to pay DOUBLE the going rate to patch up the gaps. Fabulous.

He turned down the Germany job. Fat Fred may have only have been looking for Brirish managers but Hitzfeld was a non starter. There was a tenuous link on .com about someone seeing him on a plane and that was it. Not even a mention in the German press. Edit: Doesn't matter, Gemmill has already made the point.

He is even worse than we were all expecting him to be too. FAR worse. Shepherd then MUST take the blame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing will happen, Sack the board?? Shep owns a massive part of this club so he won't walk away and as for the manager I'm sticking by him. No point in sacking another one. So you do what you want.

Then to appease the fans they sacked him and realised, oh shit, no good manager is going to come in the MIDDLE OF A SEASON. It looks disorganised. So O'Leary, Bruce, McClaren, et al turn us down and we END UP WITH SOUNESS. In order to look like a club that even half knows what it's doing, a club should ride storms and regroup in the summers. SACKING SOUNESS NOW would just start the whole fucking sorry sequence again. The guy has spent big, let him stand and face the music, and if need be REPLACE HIM IN THE SUMMER WITH SOMEONE BETTER!!!

Scottish Mag 3 Posted August 29, 2005 Share Posted August 29, 2005 Hitzfield was looking for a year out and wasn`t interested in a return to football last season he is however available now and is interested in the Dynamo Kiev job... Now is the time to make a move for the man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because this bloke will take us down, make no mistake about that. It may have missed your notice, but NO goals scored, and ONE point against a just promoted team with 10 men. Yeah. Regroup ?

[no offence intended Scottish Mag!]. 21168[/snapback] Why would i be offended? I agree... The chairman wastes his tiem chasing "superstar" players, yet settles for a mediocre manager. I am still sceptical as to why Souness ever got the job in the first place. I do not believe he was the only one interested or that he was here for discipline reasons..

Gemmill 44811 Posted August 29, 2005 Share Posted August 29, 2005 Sacking another manager at around the same time in successive seasons is not going to make us attractive to ANY manager, let alone the good ones. We'll be left in a situation where we have to make another rash appointment (similar to the one where Souness got the job). And before anyone says "Anything's better than Souness"....maybe, maybe not, but "anything" is hardly the long term plan that we're all hoping for, is it?
