Optimistic Nut Posted January 11, 2008 Share Posted January 11, 2008 Bobby Robson also bought Andy O'Brien. Yes before any of us had seen how s*** he was. Redders bought him after he showcased his "talents" for years. No he didn't, Perrin did. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

PRL Posted January 11, 2008 Share Posted January 11, 2008 The only small consolation of the morning so far: "While it is believed that a factor in Allardyce's dismissal was Ashley's reluctance to let him spend more of his money in the January transfer window, the Daily Telegraph confirms that such 'prudence will be replaced by new big spending policies when he appoints his first manager since buying the club."

Belfast Boy Posted January 11, 2008 Share Posted January 11, 2008 At this moment I am not sure what I fear most, us appointing Redknapp, or him turning us down. If he is our number one choice, where would that leave us? This is rapidly heading the same way as it did after Robson's sacking. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BONTEMPI Posted January 11, 2008 Share Posted January 11, 2008 Well if he brings Adams with him I suppose he would do, but not happy with why we sacked sam just to replace him with nobody better. Arry gets found out tactically by the big 4 all the time so if ashley thinks he's gonna win us the title he's very much mistaken. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Northern Monkey Posted January 11, 2008 Share Posted January 11, 2008 I thought Ashley was better than this, to be honest. The ridiculous "done well with no money, deserves a big club' is a fallacy spread by idiot journalists who kiss their mates' arses for them on a regualr basis. I really don;t want Redknapp - i was really looking forward to the future, to getting a really good manager in, and being one of the fans happliy giving him time to turn his vision into a successful future for us. As it is, if we get fucking Redknapp, no doubt he will suddenly becoem a world class manager, all the sleaze allegations will go away, and anyone who DARES question him will be called less of a fan - because we, as NUFC fans, are fucking idiots. Redknapp coming in will be the emperors new clothes - many of us will realise its wrong, but we won't be allowed to say. Fucking hell. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leazes1986 Posted January 11, 2008 Share Posted January 11, 2008 I'd be content with Redknapp. I just find it baffling that people think this Newcastle job is attractive to a top manager. You can't please everyone but just look at some of the reactions of people in this thread. Some people have it in for him before he even takes charge of a game (if he does). It doesn't fucking help.

BONTEMPI Posted January 11, 2008 Share Posted January 11, 2008 TBH Some can argue he's never managed a huge club, but same can be said of a certain Mr Allardyce and look what's happened. If Arry and Donkey can make us into a performing side and at least challanging for a uefa spot come next season then yes i'd be right behind them! Is this really a long term god we can win the league with this guy appointment? Or just a stop gap for sombody else who has the potential to? Will harry get us more organised and playing better with the players we have? Yes I believe he will and playing in a style we as fans will appreciate more. Well if it does turn out to be him i'll be backing him! Even though I hate his cockney gob! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
