It is mostly the press, unfortunately a sizeable proportion of our fans seem to agree. Untested, could be a disaster but we may as well get it out of the way as until we have, every time a successor isn't doing too well out will come the Shearer brigade. Ridiculous, short-sighted, unfair, but true. On the plus side, the best football we have played in the last few years was when Roeder/Shearer were in charge. Maybe he is the messiah

Interesting post. I agree that financially it makes sense to keep the key backroom staff. Doesn't mean we have to keep to organ grinder though. Incidentally, what does ludacris mean? I can't find it on dictionary.com.

The inevitable defeat at Stoke will be the end for Big Sam.

How can you be sure of that? Ashley loves Smith and Mort is a lawyer. Why does that lead you to believe that they are shit hot at choosing football managers? [/NE5]

So essentially, lock them in a cage with a ball. I like it.

Myth. It is a myth up here at the minute like

South Korea are better than England.

No

Been smoking Eric Cantona?

Are you saying that Beye has a low sperm count?

There's been a swing on the swingometer. I had convinced myself to vote 'stick' but found myself irresistably drawn to 'get rid' I just want to see us winning. Definitely a knee jerk after another bad result and awful performance. Win me round, Sam.

Fuck and double fuck

Blahh blahhblaah player of football blahh blahh

Lionel Blair?

Duff the saviour....

As I have stated elsewhere, BSA plans on removing Shola's legs from the knee down and sending him off to the ACN in place of Martins.

No. Number 2 is no longer available. yes you are http://www.subsidesports.com/uk/store/product_details.jsp?pid=2651&cid=2&red=search_results.jsp?txtSKU=,cmbPriceEnd=-1,txtSearch=newcastle%20away,cmbPriceStart=-1,cmbManufacturer=-1,txtSearchNameSKU=,dspimg=YES,cmbCategory=2, Oh. I though he was referring to that 2 girls 1 cup malarky.

Pretty sure that's it like. There were a shitload of medals in there (from his liverpool days obviously).

No surprise that he has a section, just that nobody else has a section, or it they do its like a small area of a cabinet. Terry Mac has a whole huge fuckoff cabinet to himself.

Just trying to help, I'm sure there are others that got about 2 lines down then got claustrophobic. Can't read huge chunks of text like that. I'm sure what you have to say makes a lot of sense - space it out man!!

Has anyone been in the NUFC museum? Took the bairn on the tour the other week, Terry Mac has his own section in there. Bigger than anyone elses, including Keegan, Supermac, GAzze, Pedro et al.

I disagree johnny because at no point was Shepherd the majority shareholder. What we are talking about is not the shareprice or the fundamental profitability of the club but managerial decision making. You're in cloud cuckoo land if you think that the majority shareholder did not at least 'sign off' the decision. Well thats my experience of these things anyway. From an 'operational' perspective (day to day running), the decision making dynamic would have changed. However, thats never been a point of issue. The points of issue are managerial appointments and debt both of which are 'board level' decisions. We've been over this before. i don't agree that it's never been a point of issue, of course it has. i doubt the halls would've been too interested in denying robson prozone, making comments publicly undermining him or selling speed behind his back, day-to-day decisions. no one has said the other board members wouldn't have input in the managerial appointments or debt issues (tho how much the pickled douglas hall did is uncertain considering he visited SJP something like once in 5 years, hardly suggests he had a key role in grinding down the debt figures or fine combing through the details of prospective new managers) you also have the shift from the hall era of appointing professionals to the board and other executive roles like corbridge or fletcher (or shepherd even!), while under shepherd those figures were surgically removed one by one as shepherd's influence grew and grew, and the closest you got to an advisor was, errr, kenny shepherd? the ownership too under hall was different to that under shepherd, one example amongst many would be, under SJH, Hall was majority shareholder, under Shepherd he was not, you also had the plc to answer too whereas hall didn't have as much of that, so it's fair to say that you can divide into the SJH era and the Shepherd era into separate eras. likewise if ashley was to sack chris mort, and replace him with another chairman, you could divide those chairmanships too, even tho that is only one change with the rest of trhe club remaining identical, whereas the differences between the hall and shepherd era are much more vast and fundamental. Too.....many....words......not.....enough......spaces Urgggghh The longest sentence of 2007?

My Dad went to that school, and was in the same team as Francis and got to the Plymouth Schools Cup Final with him. My Dad was inside left, and Francis was centre forward. Also, my Grandmother lived about 100 metres from this school, and when I was younger, I'd spend many Saturdays in Pennycross playground, or the nearest park, or the adjoining cul-de-sac playing football with the local kids - there is a fair chance that I could have played with him at some point. This does mean though that Tozer lived in a part of Plymouth where he wouldn't have had much access to football on flat grass until he moved on to Plymstock aged 12, so he would have learnt his early skills in a very compact concrete environment with kids that could be described as slightly rough. This could hopefully mean that Tozer is a mentally strong and technical player. Good bit of deduction there James.
