there are about 6/7 different wage figures ffs

So you were against the signing of Owen at the time? FFS pretty much admitted he made a mistake a season or two after

Martins vs Ameobi.

Everyone wanted him gone as soon as possible, now that he has left, everyone is pissed off fuck him he is history.

Well Owen scored 8 was it? In a team that was relegated and created 3 times less chances at the very least.

Inzaghi and Raul? Raul!?!? Inzaghi perhaps, but Raul!? And its hardly like pipo is a stallwart. Raul gets into the team via pure reputation, whenever seen him play for Real i can see the comparison, doesnt do alot but poach odd goal.

Inzaghi and Raul?

Not at all. I'm sure any of the top 4 clubs would be interested in signing Owen for free, but only as backup. He might be fragile, but that's not a problem if you only want to play him in emergencies, and he certainly has the experience at all levels. I figured they'd offer him much lower wages than clubs lower down the table, however, and that Owen would refuse. Huh, i agree he wont be a starter or at least shouldn't be. What you wrote about wages is what I don't particularly agree with.. if he moves to Man Utd he wouldn't want to be on the bench and being paid less then going somewhere he will play and pay more

It's hardly panic buying, still a whole month left and no doubt from that Ronaldo money he has agents on the phone to him every other minute. Owen got 19 premiership goals once upon a time. Clearly Ferguson with his giant ego believing he can get Owen back to that. Laughable if he gives Owen a contract after offloading Ruud Van Nistelrooj 2 years back. A player basically ten times better than Owen and a better goalscorer to boot Despite the utter shit we all saw from Owen last season, when it came to shots to goals he was leading the PL conversion rates, Man Utd create like 20 chances a game? I can see why they would sign him up, he's not dynamic, but can be useful.

lol, so what happened to 'No top 4 club will ever want him' and that he is 'finished' then huh? The best team in the land wanting the guy on those kinds of wages.. i wonder why? Maybe because despite the shit he served us with horrible work rate, we didn't create the guy anything. Lets see how many he gets next season.

Explain your 'throwing money at the wrong people', everyone gets some transfers wrong. What about the ones he got right.. ie: supporting SBR on buys such as Bellamy, Woodgate, Bernard, Robert to name a few. Were those signings stupid too?

DCMK replied: So you have swallowed that hook line and sinker. Dyer should have been sacked for refusing to play for the team, instead he was given a much better contract after SBR left. I think it's fair to say Dyer had more influence than the manager in the hierachy of the club wouldn't you? I think at the end of the day, the chairmen knew more then any of us, and even us fans, well majority, thought SBR was a bit of a soft touch at the time and he had lost or was losing the dressing room. So the appointment of a disciplinarian - something SBR - isn't really known for, to sort the dressing room out isn't the worst idea ever. So if FFS did believe that, i can see the logic behind that appointment.

Well SAF has scouted every match Valencia has appeared in for the last 2 seasons according to the Wigan owner, i think he knows what he is getting in him.

in CCC ?? Here's hoping!!

Are you NE5? If you aren't how do the two of you manage to fit up his arse at the same time? Well you made yourself look a bit of a dumbass.. I said there was logic behind his decisions, not that i supported them. If your unclear of the difference just ask and I will clearly define them for ya. Of course you aren't supporting his decisions. Bobby - "With so much riding on that season needed a shake up" - well take a look at where we are now why don't you? Hire Souness - "Squad discipline problems, some one who would sort that" - yeah he was the right man for the job wasn't he? Hire Roeder - "An amazing run-in post Souness, deserved his chance" - Amazing? - hardly the words of a neutral Hire Fat Sam - "Without a lot of money to back him, rely on him his wheeling and dealing whilst pushing the club upwards. Something he had experience of" - because no one else in football has the experience of Fat Sam You can only put the first two down to logic if you swallow the line that Bobby had lost the dressing room. The last two are blatant excuses no doubt about it. Jesus wept, i said there was some logic not that i supported them, you cant tell the difference?? I made the comparison between him and Ashley, that FFS actually put a 'little' thought into his appointments and not approach any name he remembered in the 90's... Again.. to go over the points i have made.. hopefully this time you will 'get it'. I think the chairman of a club would know if there are problems in the dressing room, certainly more than a fan would tbh. Lets not forget half of our players were accused of rape and assault. Dyer and Bellamy all showing coaching staff ill-discipline and when a team stops performing, needs to be a change. logic here - needed someone who wouldnt stand for it How can you get rid of Glen Roeder when the guy is winning and showing top 4 sort of form and finishing in Europe, when we were languishing in 15th(?) before he came. the logic here - he earn't that contract by his result Fat Sam - no money available logic here - he got someone who didnt rely on money and can work on a tight budget So what exactly do you not understand from all that is so unacceptable and that i MUST have my head up FFS arse? Please enlighten me EDIT: I have just realised you responded to my post, about FFS decision making by judging it all on complete hindsight My post wasn't looking upon the Souness era as a success, it was more the reasons behind WHY he chose him!

At least there was some logic behind all of FS's decisions. Explain the logic behind not providing any money for new players the summer before Partizan, while at the same time finding £8.5 million in dividend payments. Gah, i mean't the appointments.. that's why i quoted his post as it was a direct reply. I beg your pardon. When you wrote "all of Freddie's decisions" I thought you meant "all of Freddie's decisions". Now explain the logic behind appointing Souness. All of Freddy's decisions that was listed by the person above me, perhaps i should of been clearer. Funnily enough just answered that question too, just before.

At least there was some logic behind all of FS's decisions. Logic!!! what logic!. Other to cater to is own self importance. Like i said SOME LOGIC. There was some thought involved in the decisions it doesn't make them right...

C.Ronaldo is worth more than Newcastle United unbelievable

Lets all laugh that they are playing in a better league, have better players, have better owner, have a manager, ... Yes Lets.

How? Andy O'Brien survives in the league and he is woeful.

I have had to take a 10% pay cut due to the current climate. Surely this applies to football just as much as most other industries at the moment, probably even more so. And that is before we even move onto the fact that you got relegated. Glen Johnson reportedly on £100,000 a week, wages in Premier League are shooting up despite everything.
