Jimbo 175 Posted August 8, 2009 Share Posted August 8, 2009 He's no tactician, he's probably no manager, but I think he's really handled the whole shitty saga with real dignity, he comes across as thoroughly decent bloke unlike JFK or any of the other pieces of shit involved at the club recently. that's all. http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/t...ted/8191579.stm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingKev 0 Posted August 8, 2009 Share Posted August 8, 2009 His calmness probably helps us at the moment with all the shit going on off the pitch. Also credit to him for today's result. He isn't a manager, but JFK wouldn't be any better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
khay 10 Posted August 8, 2009 Share Posted August 8, 2009 Sounds like a top bloke like. Shame we have put him through this. (I know he gets paid a fair bit for it though...) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattM4 0 Posted August 8, 2009 Share Posted August 8, 2009 Was thinking that before the game... he's really gone about the whole thing really admirably, not been outspoken, got on with getting the team fit for the season etc... But also did a great job a wasting many sympathy points with taking Carroll off today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big TRon 0 Posted August 9, 2009 Share Posted August 9, 2009 His interview on BBC was a total embarassment IMO. He sounded like he'd won the league by getting a draw at West Brom. What a fucking twat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom 14021 Posted August 9, 2009 Share Posted August 9, 2009 I have a lot of respect for him. He has been put in a difficult position and he's handling it well. The club has been ran like a freak show and he has kept his dignity and put his graft in. Respect to the man, he's doing his job and he's proud and happy to be here. As much as we need something better long term, I'll support his Newcastle, his hearts in the right place and he makes no excuses regarding things beyond his control.

Pretty much my feelings as well. got alot of time for the bloke. He has no reason to put up with all this shite but he has. Many others with no connection to the club would have walked. But all credit to him, he's carried on no matter whats went on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chaser 1279 Posted August 15, 2009 Share Posted August 15, 2009 Interesting to hear Nolan's comments about the 2 of them. Theyre obviously creating a bit of a siege mentality in the dressing room and they have been credited with it. If the results keep on coming, I'd rather stick with them for the short term rather than bringing someone in for a term and then replacing them again. That's as long as the clubs future is unknown.

Jimbo 175 Posted August 15, 2009 Author Share Posted August 15, 2009 Regardless of emotions, they deserve kudos for the start we've made in my humble opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jusoda Kid 1 Posted August 15, 2009 Share Posted August 15, 2009 Lately I've felt heartily sorry for the bloke, being pissed around like he is. Whoever comes in I reckon he should keep his job as he deserves it and he will always have respect from me after what he's done recently for the club. I'm sure he could walked and found a job with the same money at a club with a healthier environment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Papa Lazaru 0 Posted August 15, 2009 Share Posted August 15, 2009 Yeah, fair play to him, he's not a manager, he's been left to handle the whole mess without knowing at any point what the hell will be happening. His previous record in games in charge has been terrible, but 2 games in and they couldnt have done much better this season. I still want a permanent manager in place, with Hughton deserving to be kept on, but i'd take him over JFK anyday, not only is Kinnear a complete tool, but since he actualyl does fuck all you're paying his wages for Hughton to keep doing the job for him anyway.

Jimbo 175 Posted August 15, 2009 Author Share Posted August 15, 2009 First and foremost he's not my choice at all, but I think some folk would be wanking themselves into an absolute foam had Shearer managed that performance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, he played a strike partnership we all think is wrong, but they did the business so he deserves the plaudits. What i hope they will do though, is when this pair clearly isn't working in a game, they have to switch it at halftime and bring a bit more pace up front. I'd certainly start the 2 of them against wednesday because they don't deserve to be dropped though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingKev 0 Posted August 15, 2009 Share Posted August 15, 2009 Credit to the man, done a great job so far. He's no manager - but the far better choice than JFK. We should also mention Calderwood, the two of them are doing a canny job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nah you're wrong there Jimbo.... we all would! Credit to the man, he's just getting on with the job in hand - probably being paid (relatively) next to fuck all for it too.

He's done great so far and comes accross well in interviews. Doesn't lie and bullshit like JFK but is good at evading the whole ownership thing. Has a lot of dignity this fella but if the past two years have shown us anything he will probably be shat on by Fat Mike in the near future. Would still like to see Shearer/Dowie combo back with Hught's and Calderwood Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ayatollah Hermione 14118 Posted August 15, 2009 Share Posted August 15, 2009 (edited) Got a lot of time for him, especially after the current mess but even following the departure of Keegan. At the time, he was still obviously out of his depth but thought he went about things with a similar professionalism which was impressive. And I hope he is creating a siege mentality. It's exactly what we need to get out of the division. Edited August 15, 2009 by Stiva Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barney 0 Posted August 16, 2009 Share Posted August 16, 2009 2 defences now have struggled against our big men up front. Carroll knows how to hold a ball up, must have been watching his Shearer vids. Has a pit of pace to him, too for a big lad and seems to love the physical battles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
