Sacking him now would be stupid. It'll cost them millions to get rid of him and his entourage, then appoint another manager to bring in his own men.

 

Newcastle fans think they have the right to a good team, when the fact is that they are and always have been also rans. Where were "the greatest fans in the world" before Keegan arrived? They were averaging less than 20,000 at home games.

After Bobby Robson saved them from relegation, they averaged around 5th or 6th. Not good enough for Fat Freddy and his delusions of grandeur. So Robson was sacked (and the classless Freddy made him sweat for his pay-off) and Souness was brought in. Every Liverpool knew it would end in tears. Great midfielder. Crap manager. But Freddie had to find out for himself!

 

So, from a baseline of about 5th, Souness has spent around £50M and dragged them back towards relegation. He can't have long left, especially with the tit-for-tat in the press with Freddie over injuries/how well they should be doing.

Souness is just a fucking knob who blames referees and injuries for everything that goes against him and his team not the fact that he has wasted millions on shit players, or that he is a shit manager. :yes:

 

as for owen serves him right if he would have stayed at madrid he would have been playing as ronaldo was injured and raul is out for a while plus the fact he should have just sat tight and demanded the only club he would leave for was liverpool like baros did with villa over lyon and morientes did when he signed for us with monaco interested. ;)

 

owen has only ever been interested in 2 things himself and england. hope they get relegated and prove to him what a majorly pathetic career move he made. :wallbutt:

 

Personally i like owen but england always has and always will come first with him. I think he will join us again when he leaves newcastle but it would be very funny for him to miss the world cup through injury and crouchie has a blinder of a tournament in his absence. :yes: :yes: :yes: :yes: :yes:

Does anyone else think they're going after after the wrong man? Despite the fact we all know that Souness is a shite manager, he's not the first manager at Newcastle to fail despite the spending of massive amounts of money. Maybe one day they'll all wake up and realise how they've been taken for mugs by Shephard and Hall. That fake sheikh stuff should have finished that pair of pricks there and then. It certainly suits us that they keep providing loads of money to crap managers. It seems to me that that Alan Oliver idiot who works for the local press up there is on the Shepherd payroll.

Agreed. There's something fundamentally wrong with Newcastle and it's not at the playing and coaching level of the club (although there are problems there too). Shepherd is the closest thing English football has got to a Jésus Gill figure - and there are even more shady characters lurking around St. James' behind the scenes.

Shepherd is an absolute tit, but what more can he do than back his manager with transfer funds and ask him to deliver?

 

The biggest mistake he has made is insisting on British managers who on the whole are shit these days.

 

If I was him now I'd go and get Hiddink, pay him what he wanted and ask him to mould a team with less funds.

How about shutting the fuck up and giving them years, rather than months to perform? He could also stop second guessing them in the transfer market. He's signed a number of players without the manager's agreement. Bowyer springs to mind, for one.
