Guest elbee909 Posted January 13, 2008 Share Posted January 13, 2008 All right, but apart from the sanitation, the medicine, education, wine, public order, irrigation, roads, a fresh water system, and public health, what have Blackburn ever done for us?

fredbob Posted January 13, 2008 Share Posted January 13, 2008 My Blackburn loving workmate said this would happen. I still hope it doesn't, because nothing we've ever taken on from Blackburn has ever worked out well for us, tbh. Given done good as well... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

fredbob Posted January 14, 2008 Share Posted January 14, 2008 Not really thought about it but its clear Hughes is interested and basically the job is his for the taking unless he has an Redkanpp style epithany. Morts said they've spoken to other candidates and if hughes hasnt been contacted already then why would he not just rule himself out the job knowing that we wouldnt be intersted. Am gonna pray that he does have a Redknapp moment because that will force Morts hand to go foreign, i cant see Hughes inspiring the fans to behonest it has disaster written all over this one. After Hughes there surely cant be anyone in Britain bar Shearer and Keegan. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sempuki Posted January 14, 2008 Share Posted January 14, 2008 He's got a cheek! Souness would love Newcastle return - without Shepherd Former Newcastle boss Graeme Souness admits he would return to St James' Park "in a heartbeat" now that Freddy Shepherd has left the club. Harry Redknapp on Saturday turned down the role following Sam Allardyce's exit - and Newcastle have been told by Portsmouth they will be wasting their time making any more bids for the 60-year-old. But Souness, who endured a difficult spell from 2004-06 as Magpies boss under Freddy Shepherd, admitted he would be happy to return to Tyneside under new owner Mike Ashley and chairman Chris Mort. Asked on Sky Sports 1 if he would be interested in going back, Souness said: "With [there now being] a different chairman, most certainly." When pressed on whether he would take the job if it was offered to him, he added: "In a heartbeat. It is a big club, one of the big clubs out there. "It has got the potential to be one of the best. But it's not a quick fix, and whoever goes in there is going to need certainly a minimum of three or four years." Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Venkman Posted January 14, 2008 Share Posted January 14, 2008 undecided on this, part of me says give him a chance, he's done well so far, part of me says i dont want to see us just kicking people while he gets the basics right, oh and he's possibly the most boring man in football, and there's some stiff competition Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GM Posted January 14, 2008 Share Posted January 14, 2008 To be blunt, Hughes could actually be just what we need at this point in time. Someone who can get performances from difficult players, like McCarthy, Savage etc could be just the ticket right now. He's also proven his mettle in signing some class players in recent windows, and has a track record of rectifying the mistakes made by Souness. So he could be just what we need. Not a glamour signing like Jose would be, but a good, solid, strong leader with the right temperament to weather some stormy times. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just think the most important thing about this appointment is how it inspires the fans, it has to be one where the fans will be 100% behind him from the start, i just dont see Hughes being able to get all the fans on his side. Which would be the single biggest problem. He'd be a dead man walking if you ask me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

GM Posted January 14, 2008 Share Posted January 14, 2008 Nobody's going to fit that particular bill. You can't please all the people all the time, etc. But in this case, we're talking about the need to win over the fans, them clearly NO, Mark Hughes isn't the right man for us. I just see him as a steady pair of hands. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just see him as a steady pair of hands. Absolutely no doubt, i agree that he would be a safe pair of hands, but i think there are other managers out there who would inspire us more, the obvious ones, whether we'd be able to them is a different matter. Failing that it'll be Shearer and Keegan.... I just think that this club wont get itself out the doldrums until there is someone (skillful or less skillful) who will inspire fans. Thats why people are ok with Shearer being considered espite having no experience as well as Keegan, but not someone like Redkanpp or Strachan etc....

You think Manu are going to hand over the club to a manager who's won nothing or managed a continental club? That's the equivalent of us handing Shearer the job, only Manu arn't so desperate last time i looked. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

captainhaircut Posted January 14, 2008 Share Posted January 14, 2008 Hughes worries me. He'll be just like Allardyce and pick the likes of Butt and Smith because they're seen as 'winners' who have the Man Utd instinct 'build in'. And then we'll have to put up with the same tedious shit. Hope I'm wrong like. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
