LeazesMag 0 Posted August 25, 2005 Author Share Posted August 25, 2005 There are a lot of people here who think losing would be good as it would get Souness sacked. Some even think relegation is a good idea. And you think I'm barking!?!Sheesh. 17911[/snapback] I agree with you on that those people are talking shit. You've outdone them today though. 17919[/snapback] What, saying we should be relegated is better than criticising the doom mongers? BTW, I'm not a mackem or a smoggie or a member of the board. I just get ticked off when I see a divide that achieves nothing. If Souness doesn't get us into Europe this season, he should be sacked. But sacking him now would just mean another year of passing the buck. My opinions are absolutely sane: Hysterical negative fans don't help the club and Sacking Souness would be a bad move at this time of the season. If he does get sacked and we manage to unearth a gem of a manager who gets us into the CL, I will be happy to admit I'm wrong and will be more pleased that we're doing well. I love Newcastle and just disagree with you. No harm done! 17930[/snapback] The "hysterical" board members you mention would have sacked him last October, after him assaulting one of his staff on the training ground. I knew at that point that my initial support, for the first week or two "for the good of the club" was wasted and in fact the course of time would prove nothing had changed with Souness, he was going to go on and be the complete prick and disaster area he had always been. Where do you think we would be now if we had done that ? IMO we would be a lot better off than we are, unless of course you are the one prepared to wait until we are relegated, because I am 100% certain we are going to have a big fight to stay up this season now.

Tisd09 0 Posted August 25, 2005 Share Posted August 25, 2005 I have been one of the few that have supported Souness. When he was announced as boss I was gutted but thought so far every manager we have has been hailed as the one to bring sucess but ultimately failed, I then thought Souness may just be the man to turn the tide into winning trophies. I think he has had a lot to deal with being the boss of Newcastle but there is no doubt he has made many mistakes. Bringing players in I do not blame him but Shepherd, Souness however is paid to motivate and train the players into a winning team, he is doing none of this. The players look so low on confidence at the moment they need a massive pick me up. Owen will help that, he will help our situation but he will not solve all our problems. The club is becoming a circus and it is no fun being a fan at the moment. Results are poor and our prospects are even worse. I am no fan of sacking managers a few games in, I just fail to see how Souness will be able to get us out of this mess. He better find a solution fast, if we get stuffed at Man U then I doubt he will manage us after that. And seeing as it is an international break Freddie Fat Boy will see it as a perfect chance to look for "the best Bruce for the job", did I say Bruce I meant man for the job. The clubs a laughing stock and fans are very disappointed, nobody wants the team to lose they are asking the question is that what its going to take????

adios 717 Posted August 25, 2005 Share Posted August 25, 2005 So your answer to my question - if we were going to get relegated this season due to bad management is to give the team a chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sweetleftpeg 0 Posted August 25, 2005 Share Posted August 25, 2005 Like you said though, we have some excellent players. The same players who can't put a move together in 3 games in order to achieve what the game of football is ultimately about, scoring goals. So, if we've got a bunch of excellent players and it's not working, who's fault is that? Here's a clue; Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We can speculate all we like about the whys and the wherefores. All I'm saying is that in 10 games time, with a fair wind, and a couple of strikers, we could be back on track. I don't see what moaning about it all here at this time of the season contributes to sorting out the problem. You want him out now. I don't.

Heyho matey 17961[/snapback] Everton had Marcus Bent last season, a team man for man not as good as ours yet they finsihed 10 places higher than us in the league, that says alot about us.

BlueStar 0 Posted August 25, 2005 Share Posted August 25, 2005 The club has no strikers because of Souness. The club is unable to adapt to this problem, because Souness has no tactics.

Heyho matey 17961[/snapback] Just following your logic, what does pretending everything's rosy in the garden contribute to sorting out the problem. At least you've admitted there is a problem although I presume fans like me are to blame. Also, have you considered the possibility that we won't get two strikers in, as seems increasingly likely?

West Ham West Brom Wigan Sunderland Portsmouth and Fulham Have reason to be worried though. 17954[/snapback] Forget the Scottish titles, this is the reason fuckwit has forged a false reputation as a manager over the years and convinced himself he's a top manager who is always right. He won the FA Cup for a team that was used to winning the league - a huge downward step which continued until they finished in their lowest league postion since the 1950's and Shankly's arrival, a position they have not repeated either since Souness was binned. Turkish Cup with Galatasary is pretty much the same as the Scottish Cup with Rangers - so f**kin what. The League Cup with Blackburn, and his first few years. Yes. The one good part of his CV. But then he ruined it by reverting to type and falling out with everyone, hence we now have him. I wouldn't be so sure all those clubs will finish below us either. We will be in among them somewhere. Yes "a week or two". It's called making decisions, if I ran the club I wouldn't have appointed him, but if someone did it my absence, he would have been out the door after that incident, along with the bugger that appointed him !

I hope that Owen does come, but the fact Owen says he only wants to come on loan and Souness saying today that it's permanent or nothing doesn't bode well.

I don't see what moaning about it all here at this time of the season contributes to sorting out the problem. You want him out now. I don't. Heyho matey 17961[/snapback] How are we going to get 2 new strikers in the next week when he's had about 9 months to do it, and chose to spend his money on 3 more midfield players, and a defender. We now have pushing for double figures in midfield players. So he has to sell. There is only a limited amount of money. If you think there isn't, he has spent 20m since he came in, if you want to say he has sold players too, have a look at nufc.com [or talkofthetyne can't remember which] and you will see Shepherd who doesn't fund his managers has funded a net deficit over the last 5 years to the tune of about 50m quid. I think allowing a manager 20m quid to improve on a team that qualified for the UEFA Cup is more than reasonable, and if there is nowt left, the figures are there to show why.
