This just gets better and better.

He's gone.

Aye but it's better for the league for them to stay up. How exactly is that? Westham spends big in the transfer window, improves their squad further and next season we have one more competitive mid-high-table team. Sheffield stays up, they'll be relegation candidates once again next season. How exactly isn't it? So you would rather we had more competition? I clearly stated that it would be better for the league, not for us.

I dunno, if Big Sam can get Bramble to perform like he did against Chelsea on a consistent basis, we'll have an immense player on our hands.

I say we'll finish 6th, Tottenham just edging us for 5th.

If you don't have anything constructive to say about what some obviously feel is a pressing issue, then please stay out of the thread. My sincere apoligies.

It's great, everything seems to be positive this time. The players, the fans, even the media seems to be all positive and supportive. A bright and exciting future, I like Big Sam's subtleties such as this.

Someone check FM for when Shola's contract ends.

Bramble is a big dilemna. If big sam can work wonders with him, it's great for newcastle, if he leaves then suddenly does well, it's a bit of a shame, if he stays but remains crap, we'll regret keeping him.

I think that Dyer would be a definate go, being super-optimistic Luque might be turned into a flair-player but I guess it's likely that these two players, Dyer and Luque would go. I don't think Onyewu will have the time to prove himself(he's not our player anyway).

I would absolutely love to go every game but I'm down here in Australia.

Before we get too excited, if we beat Watford 10-0, would Shepherd appoint Pearson?

Don't hi-jack threads matey.

The crackpot merry-go-round keeps on spinning.

Campbell, Brown, Nolan, Baines, and a fullback, can't remember his name, get back to you.

Well he has mentioned a lot of things previously. He talked about reshaping the backroom staff, he got Freddy to install that camera-analysis system, he mentioned several times that we need to rebuild our scouting system and he did build our academy.

No worries, he's had one great season in the premiership, not guaranteed that he'll have another, and why would we want Sidwell when we can get Nolan?

It's not the first time they said that his release clause is less than 10m. I'm kinda worried. Surely Shepherd aint that daft?

If alladryce can get under-achieving players to perform..i look forward to bramble, dyer, luque.

How many mackems does it take to burn a mag shirt? ....Atleast five adults.

Pleased, our club can stabilise and become a big club again under Sam for the next few years, then we can attract a world-class manager to take us to the next level.

1. How much time are you willing to give him before you demand success? I'd give him 2 seasons to get us into the top six. 2. What's the target you set for him? A championsleague club in 4 years. 3. If we play ugly, but get results, are you happy? If we play ugly, yet results are not good, will you still be happy? Roeder = ugly football + bad results, Sam = ugly football + good results, I chose Sam. 4. If Sam Allardyce decides to pick a fight (verbal or whatever) with someone (FA, Arsene Wenger, Roy Keane, Freddy Shepherd), will you support him? A fiery manager is good, as long as he doesn't make the club a laughing stock. 5. Will you applaud the board if the appointment of Sam Allardyce turns out to be a good one, eventually? Yes, it shows that they at least have some ambition, instead of keeping ordinary Roeder. 6. Will you slag the board, if the appointment of Sam Allardyce turns out to be a sad tradegy? No, our club needs to be rebuilt top to bottom , we need stablity so we can recover from the Souness age, but this stabilising process shouldn't be under Roeder, I'd much prefer Sam. 7. If Sam Allardyce turns out to be a success, will you gloat that you have always wanted him to be our manager? To be honest I'd prefer SGE, though he made England play horrible, I think he might bring some gloss to our general play on the field. 8. If Sam Allardyce does not turn out to be a success, will you gloat that you have always NOT wanted him to be our manager? No, I'd just be lost on why Sam didn't work out. 9. Does it matter if Allardyce's recruitments are mainly foreigners, regardless if he delivers results? I'd rather have Sam pick out class foreigners for cheap than bring in English teenagers at heavily inflated prices. (Like Shaun Wright Phillips style.) 10. Will you be happy to trust the club's sizable (assumption) on Allardyce's hand? Yes I think he can lead us through a good stablising process where we become a top 6 club, then onto an in-and-out champions league club, I believe after a good five years with Alladryce, we can become big enough to attract a world-class manager to lead us to glory from there.

Aye, aye.
