I wish

How i miss those days Yeah I hope we never go back to those bad old days of playing in the Champions League and being a top 4 team. FFS hence the other story for another day. FFS right back at you

I fear Beckford takes us back to the bad old days of the playboy players like Dyer and Jenas. But that's another story for another day.

that's your second post like this macca come on what gives ?

That's what I thought, and he suggested Sol Campbell as player manager

I'll start with the usual questions then source of this info ?

Ok could it maybe be numbers ? yes I know we currently have plenty of black players in the leagues but lets remember we still have many more white footballers. They can't all make it as managers so simple numbers would suggest your going to get alot more white managers than black at the current time. On top of that many of the current black top flight players are also foreign. Whilst they may play football here what's to say they want to manage here ?

To be fair he's done noubt wrong as a coach and is meant to be a pretty good coach so Shearer might keep him on.

Ince and Barnes are a complete red herring though because they have been able to use their playing career to open doors. Where is the black David Moyes for example? I've had a think about the David Moyes example, could Jean Tigana be the David Moyes example ? Tigana was a helluva footballer though apparently. Hardly used his playing career to open doors over here though.

But John Barnes appears to be saying he hasn't been given the chance to manager again due to the colour of his skin. It's not that though it's the fact he showed himself up to be a not very good manager at the top level.

Is it not more a case of black footballers not going on to become managers ? I know a few are now doing coaching like Les Ferdinand but not sure how many are becoming managers. It is possible to be a Premier League manager and be black, Ruud Gillit although incompetent at us won Chelsea's first trophy for twenty odd years when he was manager there, and like has already been said Paul Ince was given a top flight job. The problem isn't the colour of their skin it's their ability as a manager. Paul Ince was given a top job far to early and proved that by his ability at Blackburn.

I heard they look like this http://www.owlettes.tv/images/stories/cat/7.JPG so be even more careful

Sorry I've never worked for him

That's just a womans never trust any bloke syndrome kicking in, even less so if they're fat. No it's just a case of having worked for the bloke before.

I warned you all see http://www.newcastle-online.org/nufcforum/index.php/topic,40533.msg840017.html#msg840017

Lazy reading more like it:

Like who? O'Leary, Curbishley, Strachan, Shearer. O'Dreary that good a manager he's been out of work this long. Bad economy tbh. lol your right.

Yes I assume this is if Ashley stays, but as Dave says this is just betting odds and means noubt.

This down the thing he was found not guilty of I assume ?

How come ?

Barclays appear to want to cut the £40m overdraft we have to £20m unless he can prove support for their funds to them. It appears if he can prove it he'll still have the £40m overdraft, if not it gets cut to £20m and Moat has to find another £20m to pay off that part of the overdraft.

Canny manager really.

Rubbish, never mind ta
