Yet Scolari (world cup winner) struggled. Different time. i believe grants chelsea side were better than scolaris!

i dont want avram here...rather martinez or bruce....any really! Dont rate grant....what he did at chelsea everyone could have done!!

It seems like that but the evidence doesn't point to that necessarily. Ashley did originally sanction Allardyce's expensive buys of Barton, Smith and Enrique, not to mention Viduka, Cacapa and Geremi on big wages. Since then we've sold players and purchased players without weakening the squad drastically...in fact it's a lot better than the one Shepherd left behind. As money is released from shifting deadwood it's possible that more money will be re-invested into the squad year on year rather than at the end of a period of four years belt-tightening. I like the plan....i dont mind some years without big signings, getting rid of deadwood and hopefully see a few youngsters break through! ...BUT if the plan should work we need a new manager (right know) to make it happen. A manager and good coaches for the reserves and youngsters to kickstart the concept of football Ashley wants us to play the next many years! And when we get a new manager after the next....the club and squad is in balance and dosen´t need someone to come in with totally different ideas!

i think lars Jacobsen would cover for hibbert. He haven´t really played for them since he arrived in the summer! difficult to say if he is better than hibbert, thinking of his rutine!

He's proven that he can promote a team from League 1. its good enough for me! I´ve seen alot of managers doing well after a big step up in there carrier. If he has the right personality, ambition and good at handling his squad, why not? its a bit risky, i know.....but f... it! Most managers starts somewhere (often lower divisions) we could also go for sven g and hans backe or scolari if you prefer that! all i really want is stability....someone to be at the helm for 3+ years.....so after a couple seasons his squad is exactly how he wants it (more or less). Only that way can we progress. would love to see someone build an attractive style of football and concept....which we haven´t had for a long time. It will probably take time before we again can challenge top 6 every season.....but i believe the only way to do that is developing a concept over a long period......if we manage that....it will also be easier to replace managers because of a developed concept and stability within the club and squad... maybe im dreaming....after all it is newcastle!

i dont really want him here anymore....unless we sign a new manager before the end of the season and owen wants to work with him....and accept a cut in his wages....he is not worth his wages now!

dont know much about martinez....only read here and on wiki! but it sounds like he has proven himself already....young promising talent to stay for 3-4-5 years! We should get him right know! I MEAN RIGHT KNOW!

get well soon, joey! But tbh i hope this means you will take care of your self and not us! leave the job asap.....you are not our long term manager....Ashley should move for our new manager!

would love to see him become a 1st team regular banging 20+ a season if or when owen and viduka leaves in the summer we still have a few forwards: Løvenkrands (if he stays longer) Martins carroll Ameobi (smith) Xisco ranger

happy to see a fellow dane in the b&w shirt....but that it is løvenkrands is just funny! didnt like when we signed him....but hope he can keep up the good work! At least he will be a decent squad player which can operate on the left and up front! Always thought he was a left winger....maybe i was wrong?

Harper S. Taylor Colo Bassong Enrique Guthrie R. Taylor Jonas Nolan Løvenkrans Martins

Beautiful thank you...something to build on!

why is ameobi still on.....what a joke! smith works harder xisco could do some work...just replace him with someone!

not watching...but sounds like ameobi aint doing much.....please bring on xisco or smith for so game practice

looks like løvenkrands is about to prove me wrong....and i LOVE IT....keep up the good work, lad

guess he could be good on the right side of a three man attack? for example: lualua martins viduka - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - in fact we should play with three forwards.....we have so many players who could work in that system. of course we need to have 3 good midfielders available. options for 3 man attack when fit. løvenkrands, smith, owen, martins, ameobi, viduka, carroll, lualua, duff, xisco, (ranger)

Leon Andreasen.....håber snart hans karriere kommer ordentlig igang! håbede lidt på vi gik efter ham i dette vindue!

You are so right

Joe MUST leave....summer latest!! ...it must be possible to find a better replacement

I think Lovenkrands and Oba either side of Viduka would be pretty tasty in a Mourinho version of 4-3-3 when he was at Chelsea. I think I mentioned it somewhere in one of the other threads as well. Obviously this would make it hard to accomodate Nolan which would be a disaster of course problem is løvenkrands is s... overall! left side of a 3 man attack would be the best position for him i reckon.....but that should be martins position. løvenkrands should leave in the summer tbh he has never been considered a cf around the danish national team.....a position where we have struggled! ...but i think he should be given the chance on the left instead of duff against wba løvenkrands needs to play wide left....he could be ok in that position you mentioned! up front middle or right wing would never work! My teacher at school is a Rangers fan and said Lovenkrands is s**** on the wing as he can't cross to save his life, his best position is CF. Indeed the word is he is a s*** wide man, but played as a left sided forward off Viduka...I could see that working.

duff out! let løvenkrands, jonas, r. taylor, geremi, lualua play wide.....duff adds nothing!

annoys me too....i told you so this window have been the most important for a long time....we have never been so close to relegation! we were "promised" 3-4 players...and we end up with 1 more.....given and n´zogbia.....2 important 1st teamers has left FFS

We have failed big time this window! nolan, løvenkrands and taylor in......given and n´zogbia out......this have not improved our squad at all! we are in big big big trouble and this is all they manage to pull off...its getting absurd! WE ARE THE BIGGEST JOKE IN FOOTBALL! why the fuck shall we wait untill an hour before the window shuts to learn that city wont sell johnson.....we have talked to them for the last week...at least!
