Guest Brewcastle Posted January 9, 2008 Share Posted January 9, 2008 The replacement will show if it was a good move. -Oliviers article suddenly gave some sense. Or did he just have luck with the timing with producing roumors? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimmymag Posted January 9, 2008 Share Posted January 9, 2008 One thing that I found annoying was that 'Sam wasn't appointed by the new regime therefore.....' etc. Well now they have their chance so theres no excuses now And that's the way it should be, especially if Ashley's going to start flashing the cash. I wouldn't have trusted Allardyce to spend 10's of millions of my cash if I were Ashley and, trying to put a positive slant on the sacking, the new manager will want major financial backing to take the job. We'll all see in the very near future exactly what sort of owner Ashley is, and is going to be, by how much cash he is going to put at the new managers disposal.

The Bonk Posted January 9, 2008 Share Posted January 9, 2008 I told you lot before the season even started that if Big Sam was given time he would be successfull but it wouldn't be pretty to watch! Cue loads of comments about how 'Newcastle had better players than Bolton' and how you wouldn't be adopting Allardyce's tried and tested (and tedious) 3-5-1 system. 'But Owen can't play on his own up front' you said! 'Why would the manager try to fit round pegs into square holes?!' But in Big Sam's world, Big Sam is always right. He bought genuinely good players at Bolton and then employed tactics that were completely and utterly alien to them. Now you know why no-one at Bolton was particularly sad to see Big Sam go. It's not because we were 'bitter' but because the football his teams play is boring beyong belief. Took you a while to lift that rock up and crawl out. Ahhh.... true to form he is.

Begbie Posted January 9, 2008 Share Posted January 9, 2008 I think it was the right decision, but the wrong time maybe. The problem for me is, Big Sam didnt seem motivated enough. For me it seemed like he had lost the player group, and many of the fans(maybe the majority). So it was no way back, unless he got a new team to work with, and with his comment that he would trust the players not to get him sacked(or what he said), didnt do things any better. I thought Big Sam was an authority figure like Alex Ferguson or Fabio Capello, but here at our club he didnt seem like a big enough person. Chris Mort and Mike Ashley seems like two smart persons, and I can think they sacked him without having a plan about it(atleast i hope so =) I just hope they get it right now, its time to get an authority figure, a Big name manager who can attract players himself, a manager like Benitez, Mourinho etc. We can only wait and see, but just won 2 of 15 games isnt good enough when you play as shite football as we have done. Good Luck to Big Sam(and maybe his early retirement), and good luck to Mort and Ashley to find the right manager. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jackie Broon Posted January 9, 2008 Share Posted January 9, 2008 Moyes stated off at Everton much the same way Sam did at Newcastle,in a word s***,,but he was given time, what makes you think he can turn it around here in a few month because that will be all he will be allowed if he has a bad start No he didn't! He took over Walter Smith's side that looked in danger of relegation and guided them to safety. Then in his first full season, with virtually the same squad of players, they finished 7th. I was happy when Sam was appointed, I believed he was a good manager that had adopted the tactics he did at Bolton out of necessity and would be able to adapt. I was wrong! Our football under BSA has been dreadful, and ineffective! I could not see even the slightest signs of it becoming effective and even if in time it would, it is not the sort of football Newcastle United should be playing.
