madras Posted December 4, 2007 Share Posted December 4, 2007 This for me has been the biggest problem at Newcastle for years. The players have been ruling the roost. It is probably why, if for no other reason, Sam was a good appointment. These players disgust me. They are in the entertainment business and for the money they get paid I don't think they have the right to even question staying in London at all. The nature of their jobs means they are at home all the tie anyway and are hardly ever away from their families. Shut up and get on with it. NBA players for example actually play games on Christmas day! I know a lot of people are unhappy with Alan Smith and even Barton but I think it was important to bring players like them to this club as there is no doubt in my mind that their attitude and commitment will be far more positive in these types of situations. Given it seems has another agenda and has been acting up since Sam let it be known that he wouldn't be the number 1 goalie by default. Given out! He hsould concentrate on his game as he has been crap lately anyway. and you know it's all true because ? kaka out,tabloid believer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minhosa Posted December 4, 2007 Share Posted December 4, 2007 They've just confirmed that there is a players committee, headed up by Geremi, where issues are constructively discussed with Sam. There is no issue and the press are mischief making. Both Given & Harper signed off the statement, and said it needed to be made by them as the two longest servers at the club. Good news.

TRon Posted December 4, 2007 Share Posted December 4, 2007 To be honest i still don't understand the time thing, if you buy good players and play them in the correct positions with straight forward tactics you do well. Doesn't mean you win anything you just do well you then give the manager the 5 years he wants and hopefully in that time he will win stuff. Sven is a good example of this, bought good players, played them correctly and they are doing well won't win anything this season but they will in the next few years I have no doubts. Sam though bought players, feels forced to play them, plays strange complex tactics (football is an easy game don't complicate it!) and we aren't doing well. I agree with everything you said, but that doesn't mean that want a Roeder approach to players who clearly need a kick up the backside. To be honest I'd like to see Big Sam take a long run up with a few of them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NSG Posted December 4, 2007 Share Posted December 4, 2007 NUFC Player Statement NEWCASTLE United players Shay Given and Steve Harper have issued the following statement in response to a story that appeared in a national tabloid newspaper on Tuesday ... Having seen an article in one of this morning's national newspapers, we feel it is vitally important that Newcastle United's two longest serving players set the record straight. The story that has appeared is total and utter nonsense. Sam Allardyce has the full backing and support of every Newcastle United player and we are all working together as one to bring success to the football club. At Newcastle United we have a player committee which is led by our captain Geremi, and which also includes James Milner, Mark Viduka and ourselves. Many issues are openly discussed between players and the Manager, as is commonplace at any club. Far from that being "player power" or any other ridiculous description, this is sensible and constructive communication and a key part of the process of helping to build a stronger football club which will take us forward. It is fair to say both of us are absolutely furious at what we have read today. It is mischief-making of the highest order and appears designed to unsettle everyone on the eve of our big game against Arsenal on Wednesday night.

Big Geordie Posted December 4, 2007 Share Posted December 4, 2007 It's a tough one to call. I'm in no doubt that we have players in the squad who have lived in a comfort zone for too long, which needs addressing. However if some are concerned about tactics, etc are they not right to speak their mind ? What the manager has been trying to do has confused even the most seasoned Newcastle supporters, so christ knows how it's affecting some of the players. Once again however our dirty laundry is being aired in public - which is never a good thing. We'll see how the players respond in the next few games and if they want to play for the current manager..... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Geordie Posted December 4, 2007 Share Posted December 4, 2007 anyone remember alan kennedy,irving nattrass and paul cannell ? I was too young what that happened, but didn't they threaten to go on strike if Richard Dinnis wasn't given the job after Gordon Lee buggered off to Everton ?

JJ7 Posted December 4, 2007 Share Posted December 4, 2007 Can you listen back to past FiveLive shows like you can with Radio 1? Ive just got a load of texts from my mates taking the piss saying some thick slack jaw has been on the radio demanding a Shearer-Keegan dream team. No wonder we become a laughing stock all the time when idiots like this can get onto national radio. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted December 4, 2007 Share Posted December 4, 2007 Personally I don't think there's smoke without fire on this one, Sam has said himself that there have been words.
