Holden McGroin 6581 Posted September 23 Share Posted September 23 (edited) I just listened to him on a podcast with him (Undr the Cosh). Reflecting on his time at Newcastle he basically said: - Shephard appointed him and had given a substantial amount of money to get into Europe that season. - He had Modric etc on the list but Ashley took over within a couple of weeks of his appointment and then he had to get Alan Smith and load of cheap/freebies instead - He doesn’t blame Ashley for anything - Sir John Hall totally blindsided Shephard by selling shares (even though he always promised Freddy first refusal) - He said Shephard was devastated - He doesn’t really take any responsibility for anything that happened here. He later goes onto show he is a complete dinosaur by not understating how sideways passes or the benefits from playing out from the back helps.

ewerk 30545 Posted September 23 Share Posted September 23 Ah yes, cheap players like Joey Barton and Jose Enrique at £6m each and freebies like Mark Viduka and Geremi. He was really hard done by. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But Ashley wouldn’t cough up the fee and that was probably the beginning of the realisation the promises wouldn’t be fulfilled. And aye, you could imagine Hippo Heed using that story and changing the details to make it about him. Funny how it’s never been mentioned once (to my knowledge at least) that Allardyce was in for him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ayatollah Hermione 13856 Posted September 23 Share Posted September 23 Didn’t we do all our business really early that summer too? Sure we already had the likes of Smith in when we went abroad for pre-season 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, Ashley's 'freebies' included £10m of disclosed fees and an undisclosed amount for Alan Smith. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Holden McGroin 6581 Posted September 23 Share Posted September 23 Hippo heed reckons he was only in 2 or 3 weeks. before Ashley bought it. Looking at the dates: Fat Sam was appointed 15th May Fat Mike bought the club on 23rd May Sounds like Sir John did royally fuck Shepherd (and the club) by letting him appoint a manager days before he sold his shares.

In that case all of the players on that green table were Ashley players and Fat Sam is a lying, history rewriting prick. Also, technically Sir John Hall fucked Ashley over too because it meant he had to pay off a con artist he never wanted to appoint. So it wasn't all bad. Probably saved us from having Pardew or Kinnear a lot sooner than we did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Optimistic Nut 145 Posted September 24 Share Posted September 24 I'm sure the story at the time is he turned down Elano who went on to smash it that season at City, for Alan Smith. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Howmanheyman 33119 Posted September 24 Share Posted September 24 (edited) I've just had the great luck to see a clip of him talking about Sunderland and saying the only reason he left was because of England and he was building a good foundation there. Now either he's being a teeny weeny bit disingenuous, (hard to believe, I know), or he's saying his good pal David Moyes went in after him and totally fucked his good work up. Which one is it Samuel? He couldn't fuck off quickly enough as he knew he was basically handing over to his mate a complete shit sandwich with extra diarrhea sauce. They were getting relegated all day and every day that year, no money, shit team, no significant loans from decent sides they were absolutely fucked which is why they ended up dropping down two divisions in successive seasons. Great foundations though, Sam. Edited September 24 by Howmanheyman 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shepherd had pneumonia I seem to remember. It epitomises the Halls completely. Totally self-serving cunts! And some people still believe John Hall is the reason our fortunes turned around in the early 90s. Bullshit! He did two things worthy of note: 1. Appointed Keegan 2. Shit himself in a hastily arranged TV interview when Keegan walked out in the "not like it was in the brochure..." moment and finally agreed to spend some money. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
