Just saw a post from Toon Amy that made me think. Under SBR we played fairly poor football for his first two seasons (finishing 11th and 11th after inheriting a team that had finished 13th) and his signings didn't all go to plan (Gavilan, Bassedas, Cort). We were improving, just not at the rate everyone wanted, and we had a top class England striker to lead the line.
As it turned out we were just two spot on signings away from the top 4, and although Robert and Bellamy were expensive they weren't outrageously so. We solidified as a unit until we got to the point where we just needed two class players to propel ourselves to the same level.
Are we as fans simply being impatient with Sam, or are the similarities not there/unfair on SBR? Surely it takes more than one close season and 12 games to turn a mess around?
massively

Why should Sam talk to them? Its not a point about him having a huff, its a matter of the man's personal principles. The BBC made allegations that were never proved and tried to end his whole football career. He puts his perspective out on the official site and through other media sources so the fans do get to hear what he says. So why should he be contractually obliged to talk to anyone?

Because BBC local radio and television is a primary media source for NUFC supporters.
If he has a personal grievance against something the BBC said before he came to Newcastle then he should sort it independently through legal channels and not through a petty boycott of interviews, thereby denying information to those who pay his fat salary.
Is it heck! You get just as much info from .co.uk and the frggin Ronny Gill as anywhere. Anyone who is bothered can buy a paper or log on to see what is being said. If some organisation had attempted to bring personal ruin to my career I think I wouldn't talk to them either.

i couldnt give a toss if he talks to them or not to be honest. although i do fucking hate pearsons interviews.

He needs to be given time. His whole reputation is based on him building teams, not improving things from the off. When we hired Roeder and Souness, we pissed and moaned that they had no track record of... well, anything, bar ruining teams, so we had good grounds to cry out for their heads, but we got the exact opposite in Allardyce. Someone with a track record, a good one, albeit not the world's best, but we have him now and we have to stick with him for a reasonable length of time.
Just now I'm saying the rest of the season as I am a little concerned. At the beginning of this season I was saying at least two years, which to be honest, is the right amount.
I'm firmly in the Yes: Keep the big man no matter what camp.
What saddens me most though, guys, is that every other set of supporters predicted we'd be like this, and by this time. We're utterly pathetic. Sometimes I wish we still had Shepherd, then perhaps the insane levels of expectations may never have arrived.
could not agree more, cracking post.
as i said in another thread, people seem to have forgotten how bad we were last year, since the takeover
-
Well lets hope Tuesday's Guardian/Times points out that he's been sacked.
fuck me.
and people wonder why we get laughed at.
who would you bring in exactly?
mourinho no doubt.
along with puyol, ronaldinho and rooney.

i reckon this time next year we will be saying 'remember hen we wanted rid of allardyce'
he'll be a success here, it will just take time.
if he goes, the blokes who will be tipped to get his job are those who are proving a success after a couple of years, hughes, moyes, jewell.
Hughes and Moyes immediately took their teams forward. Moyes had a couple yoyo years but he showed where he could take them. Hughes took a team of relegation battlers to a team fighting for europe. The team immediately looked better than what Souness had been offering for 16 odd months.
We have decent enough players to play with a degree of competence. No shots on target ffs... looking like we could get beat 6 or 7 nil isn't acceptable at any period.
you could argue that we have been taken forward, as we are further on than last year, and he hasnt exactly spent much money has he?
£25m.
how much has he brought in?? at least £12m
so thats £13m.
like i say, hardly megabucks

i think the takeover has deluded some people, and its all of a sudden as if we were great last year.
if we hadnt have got that flukey win at sheff utd we would have been dragged into a relegation battle, we were fucking awful last season, lets not forget that.
im not syaing we are a good side now, but its not as if we have dropped under allardyce now is it.

I agree with you, but, he's not helping himself. He lost the game yesterday with his s*** tactics and subs, and very nearly lost us the Sunderland game for the same reasons.
He has to show something.
i totally agree, and i think he will, but its going to be a lot harder if people are screaming abuse at him.
i remeber liverpool fans didnt like rafa at all when he first came, they were all well pissed off with 'zonal marking'.
a few cups later they seem to be ok.
the bloke needs time, we've been ripped up from top to bottom and we are starting again, its almost like a new club.
a win at blackburn next week will see this all calm down

im pleased the jocks went out.
they absoloutely hate us!

Well at least the FA will pay his wages for this amount of time - however long it turns out to be. He has not had the best of luck with injuries. I for one am quite pleased that he will be missing for the Croatia game as it may well give Smith a game up front for England!!!! There is always going to be accusation against little mic when he appears to always tie his come back games perfectly for England, so pleased that he misses this one. The thought now of Smith up front for us is even more horrific than missing Owen. I for one would welcome shola with open arms
your mental if you would rather play Ameobi up front than Smith
i dont think he's that crazy......
-
he'll probably be glad he doesnt have to face liverpool anyway
-
c***. That is all.
i find quotes like this odd.
it isnt his fault basically.
but he does need to move on
-
Oh, what a f*** up. £16m well spent.
I'm not even arsed anymore, let's bring our top scorer in instead, thank you very much.

will be good to see oba back in anyway.
show us your money sven

the blokes a legend, and my most respected man in the game.
like someone has already said, im dreading the day
-
have to say, i would sell him for anelka

the bit that made me laugh was 'he pwas the best shadow striker in 2005'
like its even a fucking award
