so he'll have to move then yak yak yak

now that would be a shame I thought you'd be gutted Parky. He'll get the sack, Allardyce won't last much longer and Newcastle was one of the clubs mentioned (along with Bayern Munich and England) by Benitez' mate Guillem Ballague on Revista de la Liga last nite. :parky: all part of the plan, benitez to bayern and the manager of bayern to nufc....whoever that may be. Ottmar Hitzfeld is it ? well who would have thunk it. ottmar hitzfeld is the newcastle on line football section version of mornington crescent

Alan Shearer should climb off sofa and show that he wants to manage
madras replied to EthiGeordie's topic in Football
thinking of rijkaard,guillit,van basten,beckenbaur,keegan,dalglish,hughes. is there many top players who have jumped in to the top flight or international and have failed ? stuart pearce.....any others. -
Bad news about Enrique, nothing good can come out of that. It means either Carr or N'Zogbia will replace him I would think. not to mention for all he was poor against liverpool he is the best left back at the club...or is it just allardyces way of making sure milner doesn't play on the right ?

the needs and qualities of managing at the different levels are vastly different. the talents needed at the bottom of div 2 with no money are totally different to those needed in the prem with millions to spend. -

Not being funny, but what if Fred had said that bit in bold? I reckon World War III would have kicked pretty quickly with people on here banging on about him interfering in team affairs and talking about stuff that's nothing to do with him. Which would be true of course and which apply to Mort in this instance. Whether or not we need new players is one for the team manager to decide, not for Mort to decide. i agree, but as you've said yourself, the board don't seem convinced by allardyce as he wasn't their appointment, so should they entrust him with big funds? we made that mistake with souness who blew £50m, very little of it spent wisely, which set us back in football terms as well as financially (decreasing future funds and increasing debt which ashley had to pay off so he has effectively paid the money for the likes of Owen). you could read mort's comments as saying 'it doesn't matter how much we let him spend, if he can't get the team playing well it will be money down the drain' - mort is perhaps suggesting tht the problems are down to Allardyce rather than the quality of the squad. i'm not saying we don't need more players, we're short when it comes to creativity and also lack a bit of athleticism/pace, but the question is, do you let Allardyce have the funds to sort it out in january or do you wait till the summer and a possible new manager? i could well see mort and ashley give allardyce little backing in january then when they get a new managfer in the summer, give him a big kitty. the quotes in the papers today seem eerily like the dreaded 'vote-of-confidence', when mort was asked if he backed sam he said words to the effect of "i'd like to" not "i already do". so if allardyce doesn't turn it around quickly he could be out sooner than we think. i don't think it's so much the arsenal and blackburn games but the 4 after that. if we perform in those 4 as we have recently i don't think they'll be able to risk keeping him.

a) it's nowt but a prress rumour b) we don't know if he's crap or a fantastic prospect c) sign good players when you can,you may need a forward but that shouldn't stop you getting quality players for other positions when they come along. a) You're gay b) You're a big gay c) Gay gay gay gay GAY! you done well to keep the flies out of your food photo's

Whether or not we need new players is one for the team manager to decide, not for Mort to decide. it's a bit of both really. mort is right that they need to perform on the pitch as a unit, that can be started with the present group of players then improved upon with other/better players.

i honestly don't give a shit about managers giving interviews,like politicians it'a ll spun.

If we play a decent system and actually give it a go I think you'll hear a lot less complaining. Most of the people who are annoyed with Allardyce aren't pissed about the results, just the manner in which we're playing in. Seems like thats been said enough. Aye. said enough?....i'm getting it as a tattoo.

it's absolutly critical he does the basics. fuck expectations etc his tactics and formations have brought the crowd down on him.

Probably not too far away from being able to qualify that sentence with "this month." coupled with own goals for us v pompey and reading and a fluke v sunderland -

i have walked out early 5 times in 33 years. (one was to get to work).i wont boo or catcall nufc during the game. however i wasn't going to hang around on saturday and left with 5 left,15 left V pompey as it was more frustrating than when we actually had real shit playing for us. -
as much politics as results, he's been having a go at the board recently apparently.

they are better that what they are performing at the moment. the personnel are better than sunderlnad,boro,derby,reading what blew it was the formation and tactics But not better than Spurs, Everton or West Ham tbf. i'd say equal too at least Aye. There is also still the possibility that we will take 12 points off the teams you mentioned at home (to go with the 2 we already have ) we were only looking for 4 from the away games, thats half the problem Win your homes and draw aways = 76 points. we arne't winning home games and are only drawing with the dregs

it's not so much about milner as team balance and positioning. True and i was only being half serious but to think that Milner was going to turn that game around is f****** idiocy. Plus the people singing it were the same embarrassing twats who booed Zog going off and believe there is a replacement lined up for allardyce who is prepared to come here in this climate and to get us consistently playing decent winning football in less than his first 14 games. Get rid of that lot in January and the 20,000 seats they occupy fair enough it's getting cold but i doubt that would put off a serious manager You know what i mean. aye but too easy an opportunity. the likes of everton and blackburn,villa should be enough to let you understand that team balance and organisation can be as important as individual talent. All of which have had time to achieve that. i don't recall everton or blackburn fans going mental cos their manager played 5 players out of position for no reason or went to derby wanting a draw ? So do you spend a lot of time on Everton and Blackburn message boards then, Madass? i'll have a look and a listen. liverpool ones are full of conspiracies at the minute
