catmag Posted January 11, 2008 Share Posted January 11, 2008 SSN currently replaying his 2006 interview where he absolutely states that Portsmouth will be his last club and that he wouldn't go anywhere else. Please let this be true. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Guinness Posted January 11, 2008 Share Posted January 11, 2008 He hasn't called the press conference, it's the standard pre-match press conference that is always scheduled before the weekend's football. He will no doubt face a load of questions about his future though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optimistic Nut Posted January 11, 2008 Share Posted January 11, 2008 It's funny though that this morning they've been reporting he's on his way up here by car or plane...now he's doing an interview in Portsmouth in a bit... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disco Posted January 11, 2008 Share Posted January 11, 2008 Fuck knows what he is going to do, he is dodgy as fuck, who leaves one team to join there rival only to see them relegated and rejoin the original team, all of which was surrounded in controversy. Yes i think he is a decent enough manager but shit like this and his willingness to comment on anything that has nothing to do with him makes me not want him as our manager.

Northern Monkey 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. and getting behind a manager who won't bring success is EXACTLY what helps, yes? Hwo can Spurs get Ramos, and we have to settle for fucking Redknapp??

Nate Posted January 11, 2008 Share Posted January 11, 2008 Good news. Would he really be holding a routine press conference if we had made an official approach this morning? 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. Out of curiousity, which managers would you be happy with? Not defending anyone or anything here, I'm just genuinely interested in your opinion. I'd be happy with a GOOD manager. One who showed he coudl take us forward. It takes no more than a few months to illustrate that you have the plan and the ability to do that - reference Souness, Roeder, Allardyce, 3 in a row who completely failed to do so. Soemoen of the quality of Ramos, yes. Redknapp-quality, no. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueStar Posted January 11, 2008 Share Posted January 11, 2008 Pointless, pointless, pointless. Might as well have continued stringing Sam along until we could get someone decent.

I just don't see him as an improvement! I'm so very scared that the next six months will be exactly the same as the last six! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ToonTastic Posted January 11, 2008 Share Posted January 11, 2008 Could one of the reasons we may have gone for him be to keep Owen. Taken from another forum "Speaking before Redknapp's Portsmouth thrashed Newcastle 4-1 at St James' Park in November, Owen said: "Harry has done a fantastic job building a strong squad. "He is a very good manager who has done fantastically well at lots of clubs. "He's had to wheel and deal and been very successful at it. "But I'm sure that if you gave him a lot of money, he'd spend it wisely as well. Some people have got that knack." Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soemoen of the quality of Ramos, yes. Redknapp-quality, no. Fair enough. And I agree with you completely, we need a manager of better quality than the averages of Premier League, if we are to aspire to something greater than being average, obviously. I was more curious as to which specific names you had in mind, though, in the mould of Ramos et al. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NG32 Posted January 11, 2008 Share Posted January 11, 2008 I think he's already accepted it, we wouldn't have sacked Sam otherwise. It might not be him after all. Will be an intersting pre match press conference. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Guinness Posted January 11, 2008 Share Posted January 11, 2008 The mixed emotions of relief and shame if he says we've offered him a fortune in wages and a huge transfer kitty to join us and he's turned us down... I'd be deeply concerned if he's Ashley's first choice and he turns us down. As much as I think this is a sideways step from Allardyce I'm fearful of who we may turn to if he decides he doesn't want the job. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slugsy Posted January 11, 2008 Share Posted January 11, 2008 If it turns out he has been offered it and he turns us down, could you imagine it, Redknapp turns us down and then Ashley tries to get someone good... MA: "Hi Jose, I was wondering if you would like the fantastic opportunity of managing Newcastle United?" JM: "Would that be the same job you offered to Arthur Daley before me, a man who has won nothing, is on bail and would not move to Newcastle...hmmm, let me think about that?"
