The Chairman's main job is to appoint the right manager. Robson aside, he's got every one of those decisions wrong. And as has been pointed out elsewhere, appointing Robson was beyond obvious so Shepherd gets no credit for it. If my gran had been chairman(woman) for a day she could have made the decision to appoint Robson too - it wasn't even a decision that needed making. Every time he's been required to think and appoint someone through his own thought processes, he's fucked it up.
How many more failed appointments do we endure? He is getting it all wrong time and again, and the "well it could be worse" defence that NE5 constantly falls back on is not good enough.
So you can say (Souness aside), that you were not happy when Dalglish and Gullit were appointed as managers of NUFC, especially with their track records?
