Most managers outside of the Premiership can do that. Mick McCarthy doon the road ring a bell? Sorry but he's shite. Not good enough for Newcastle. Championship or SPL is about his level. That and spirits. 64844[/snapback] Have you been on the Jesus juice too ? 64850[/snapback] Did thick Mick not improve a bunch of free transfers, youngsters and bargain bin signings and take them up into the Premiership? The thing you also claim Burley can do? 64868[/snapback] Was promotion with Sunderland such a great achievement ? Burley got Ipswich promoted. Burley took Ipswich into Europe in a season most predicted relegation Burley took Derby to the playoffs in a season most predicted relegation and barely spent a penny. And wasn't doing too bad with Hearts before he left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Sima Posted December 6, 2005 Share Posted December 6, 2005 I wouldn't have Allardyce. No chance If Shepherd is insistent on a British manager, I'd like to see us go for Mark Hughes and even that is a last straw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pertoon 0 Posted December 6, 2005 Share Posted December 6, 2005 Heard a rumour that Sam Allardice is getting itchy feet now he would be a good choice. But then can anyone be worse than Shiteness we should kick him off the Wear bridge.

Howaythetoon 0 Posted December 6, 2005 Share Posted December 6, 2005 Was promotion with Sunderland such a great achievement ? Burley got Ipswich promoted. Burley took Ipswich into Europe in a season most predicted relegation Burley took Derby to the playoffs in a season most predicted relegation and barely spent a penny. And wasn't doing too bad with Hearts before he left. 64873[/snapback] Promotion with that lot was a miracle. Remember Burley had been at Ipswich for a number of years and had a great youth system that flooded his team with quality and hunger on tap almost. Don't get me wrong, he did a good job, a great one, but then so has McCarthy and none of us would have him here. Sorry Jimbo, he's a canny manager at Championship or SPL level but he would be an absolute cast iron certainty to fail at Newcastle. He has no proven record at all other than taking a side up who he had been at for a number of years, getting them into Europe, wasting 10m on crap, and then getting them relegated. Souness took Rovers up, got them into Europe twice, finished 6th and even won a Cup and while he had a bit more to spend, he also sold a lot too, the turnover of players was huge. To call for Souness' head and then promote Burley's name, well it's going from one extreme to another. I don't see anything in him that would even hint towards him being a success at Newcastle and that's simply because he isn't good enough and never will be, not at the level we are operating at. It would be a travesty, a bigger mistake than Souness, if he landed the Toon job. His teams play nice football, but hey, so did Ozzie Ardiles'. He picks youngsters, but hey so does Souness. He can get the best out of players, but hey, so can McCarthy. In a nut shell, he's shite. In my opinion of course and you are intitled to yours but the things you list as his qualities, are qualities most lower League managers have. Hell, even Souness must have those qualities looking at the job he did at Blackburn, he turned Duff into a 17m player, Friedel into one of the best 'keepers in the Premiership, Tugay into a decent Prem player, Matt Jansen and so on and so on. We'd be going from bad to worse or from bad to equally bad with Burley. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just a gut feeling that Fat Fred wouldn't give him the spanish archer 2 days before a match leaving everyone running round like headless chickens when it can be put off until after a match we are almost guaranteed to lose and give him the perfect excuse.

Optimistic Nut 145 Posted December 7, 2005 Share Posted December 7, 2005 I'm against him. Just answering a couple of posts comparing Souey & Burley. One being when has Souness ever over-achieved, I gave two examples, another listing two examples of bad buys he made when he finally got money at that job, so I did the same with Burley. I don't think, unless we get Pearce or Ferguson, we'll find a better British manager than Souness...which is a damning criticism of the state of our managers. We have to look abroad.
