Yep.

aye, smashing. Never mind that the team is in the s**** though, Never mind that the transfer window is now closed so no money can be spent on the team and he did make money available in January but it was not spent. how much ? Why wasn't it spent ? Keep deluding yourself. If you think that it is OK that we can't force the hand of small clubs like Blackburn to sell us their best players, welcome to true mediocrity the likes of which you clearly don't understand. But soon will if this is the path they are choosing to follow. At the end of the day, I don't really give a toss how good a bloke runs the football club if we are struggling and they don't capitalise on the fanbase. Did we even try and get anyone from Blackburn? KK says there's money there and he chose not to spend it, I for one believe him. Do you not believe him? How much ? What a pathetic individual you are. Mike Ashley - top bloke

well, you shouldn't have spouted deluded crap. What did the original post have to do with the football club? Yet again you've turned another thread into a bitching match. When I disagreed with you before, I had respect because you stood for what you believed, but this thread is about the bloke giving some money to charity, it had nothing to do with the club and you've made an arse of yourself on it.

I didn't realise a football chairman plays such a part in the football team mackems.gif He must have had some blinders playing for the manager that was chosen by Hall Jnr, Shepherd and Fletcher http://amix.dk/uploads/big_fish.jpg Holes appearing all over the argument now, try not to bite too much A fact that Tron or certain others have - again - refrained from responding to, because they know it is correct I suspect Poor response

My point exactly. Using that, he has absolutely no argument whatsoever.

the good of the club ? Avoiding relegation ? Hoping they will match the best positions of the old board, as a minimum ? Take your pick How will blindly sticking up for the old board's shortcomings achieve those things?

never mind about the relegation struggle, at least we didn't waste any money in the transfer window What, you mean on the likes of Luque etc? Wish we'd bought more like him, maybe the chairman could've bid for Rooney again? Was that aimed at me? If it was, where did I mention it? Please show me. You are jumping on the current board after allowing them very little time to achieve anything. Why not compare what happens after another 10-12 years? You may have an argument then. What about comparing the 1st year of both regimes? more than happy to do that, however if you are happy at them not recognising a serious situation, then you shouldn't be. You ARE aware the previous regime saved the club from bankruptcy, the 3rd division and a failed share issue aren't you ? Thats fact by the way, not something I've made up to "defend" them. But what was the point in achieving all that they did (whilst making a s*** load of money in the process), then leaving us in such a mess? what do you think they should do ? Not continue attempting to be successful ? Maybe not answering that would be better ........ No, if they're the people you're making them out to be (which most NUFC fans know they ARE NOT), then they would have admitted they had taken the club as they could and would have passed the club on to someone else, to take it to the next level. It amazes me that you can stick up for Shepherd and then call Mort's attitude and comments naive and foolish. Shepherd embarrassed us nearly every time he spoke in public. According to club ex-employees he also lied to them. Then you have the really bad stuff...... ...talking to some plastic scousers at some traffic lights about MO. ...soccerex in Dubai, a great example of alienating smaller clubs .....brothel in Spain. Can't see Mort doing that.

Excellent, just another example. try responding ? Would you lead by example? What is your link to the old board/Freddy Shepherd? Interesting question, won't be holding my breath for an answer. Mick, I've been reading this board for a while, and quite frankly wonder how you haven't lost the will to live when he starts up.

Is that another example? Stop asking questions Mick, you never get answers. so, you also think that we shoud accept we can't buy the best players from small clubs like Blackburn ? thickmick likes the board pre-1992, he should do too, because they ran the club just like he thinks it should be run. I don't think anyone signed Bentley in January but maybe you know better? If he was available I dare say he might have a better choice of clubs than just us. Fair play if we go for him when he is available. Remember when Freddie almost signed Rooney from that small club Everton........... You have to make them available, especially in the position that we are in. It isn't a difficult concept. The alternative is settling for the squad we have. Are you happy with it or not ? How much is preserving our premiership status worth in your opinion ? I assume you've missed the part where I said I wasn't? What does me not posting on here for long have to do with anything? Is that a put down?

No reply ? Pleased for you that you're happy with the squad then. I'm not happy with the squad. It's you trying desperately not toapologise for Shepherd and Hall that I'm getting at.

I've not seen him say that.

Same old, same old. Most people know the crack, this apologist won't change things.

Mick why do you bother?

Can I say it again? It's a good job some of you lot didn't support NUFC when Keegan came the first time or all of this might not have happened. NE5 - Drivel.

Can't believe this rubbish. If you lot remember the first time he came, we didn't perform much better than under Ardiles. Good job we didn't turn on Keegan then. Shepherd and Hall mostly reponsible for this mess, no argument.

From wiki So he'll not have any feelings for them?

That's one of the worst yet. Christ, will it ever stop? It really is unbelievable. I was just reading that from newsnow and came in here to post it. What a c***, come on Boro FFS, what a w******, hope he gets ran over or contracts some nasty tropical disease that makes his balls burst open. He has written that like a Boro supporter, because he is one. It's not the first time he's done it and it won't be the last. Most of the stuff he comes out with in that article are the same as you'd here from a Boro supporter and surprise, surprise guess where he was brought up...... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rod_Liddle Nuff said.

There are quite a few peos and cons, nearly all of which are pointles, as he hasn't managed before. Poeple seem to have negativity towards him because they want to. There is a huge chance that he could go on to manage this club for years to come, purely because he will have 99% of the fans on side from the start and that to me is the most important thing. The only other person who could achieve that is Jose at the moment, anyone else will be a dead man walking.

How about a question? If, at the start of the week someone told you that Allardyce would be sacked and replaced by Redknapp, what would your response have been ?

Of course it's not ludicrous. He knows that he'll be finished as soon as he's started with England, our sh_itbag national media will hang him out to dry ASAP. We are a huge challenge, imagine turning us around? Imagine the achievement? Funny, because it was the media who gave us the label to start with, anyone notice a pattern emerging here?

I think you had better find a tattooist, this is only going to one person

I'm not sure anyone here was being serious. Apologies if wrong. I am. and no-one will be able ot give me a reason why not?
