Guest Toongaboom Posted January 12, 2008 Share Posted January 12, 2008 Re: Redknapp rejects Newcastle job - Official « Reply #257 on: Today at 12:00:12 PM » Quote Modify Remove -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Keith Armstrong (b. 11 October 1957, Newcastle, England) is a British/Finnish dual-nationality football manager and former player. He played with OPS for two years, before moving to Koparit in Kuopio. Subsequently, he played in nine different clubs around Finland, getting to his name 179 league matches, scoring 60 goals, and winning three championships (with OPS in 1979 and 1980 and with Kuusysi in 1984). In 1993, at the age of 35, he retired from playing professional football and started out as the manager of his then club Rovaniemen Palloseura (RoPS). For the 1995 season, he moved to Seinäjoki and took the local club, TP-Seinäjoki into the Veikkausliiga. In 1997, he was offered a post at FC Haka, which he accepted, getting the club promoted from the Ykkönen and winning three league championships in a row with the Valkeakoski team. He received the Manager of the Year award in 2000, after Haka's second subsequent title. In late 2001, he was signed by HJK, propelling the team to a league championship in 2002 and a league and cup double in 2003. In 2004, however, the club finished in the mid-table. In 2006 Armstrong received his second Manager of the Year award and lead HJK to second on league. He was sacked in September 2007. HE IS OUR MAN AND COULD DO JOB!

Guest Pavel Is A Geordie Posted January 12, 2008 Share Posted January 12, 2008 I've got a terrible feeling that the anti-redknapp brigade will be taking it all back when they see who we do get... Yep. I think in our current position, Redknapp would have been a good bet. Definitely prefer him over Jol. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Numbers Posted January 12, 2008 Share Posted January 12, 2008 What a total and utter cock up by the board! It wasn't difficult - they should have had a definite replacement to take the job before they sacked Big Sam. Now they're scrabbling around trying to find someone who won't be their first choice. The time in this transfer window is rapidly running out and the list of candidates that are left fill me with total and utter dread How is Harry Redknapp turning them down a "cock up"? they can hardly force him at gun point. I think he means "cock up" as in they should really have had something in place before sacking Sam,so yes it was a "cock up" of monumental proportions imo. The kind of Schoolboy error Fred used to make and not one you would have wanted the new regime to start off with. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Posted January 12, 2008 Share Posted January 12, 2008 Fucking hell. Are the board completely clueless? You don't sack somebody who is doing a far-from-disastrous job if you don't have an adequate replacement hammering at the door first. Absolutely unbelievable. Really. Utterly horrendous decision making. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I swear wor lass has drugged me. FWIW, I'm flabbergasted the board has acted without having a man in place ready to come in. I realise they know sod all about football management, but did they really think they could just go pick and manager up off the rack? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
quayside Posted January 12, 2008 Share Posted January 12, 2008 t wasn't difficult - they should have had a definite replacement to take the job before they sacked Big Sam. Correct me if I am wrong but isn't this the same mistake the previous board made when sacking SBR and we ended up with Souness? Yes - exactly that.

Chris_R Posted January 12, 2008 Share Posted January 12, 2008 I've got a terrible feeling that the anti-redknapp brigade will be taking it all back when they see who we do get... That's a big worry. Can't see any of the A-list lot like Lippi or Mourinho etc taking us on now. (Not that I'm claiming Mourinho would have come anyway mind... I just think it's even more unlikely now.) Hughes or Jol probably the best of the available, realistic candidates. Though Hughes has ruled himself out, so that leaves Jol. Anyone else would be a total shambles.

nfrederi Posted January 12, 2008 Share Posted January 12, 2008 If Harry gave enough encouragement to Mort and Ashley that he would come that they sacked Allardyce and formally approached Pompey for Harry for him to then do a U turn and to go public with that U turn is totally piss. Im assuming of course that the board had a plan and Redknapp was the first choice. We are back in familiar territory now that whoever we now approach knows that they are second choice. I have a terrible feeling this is yet another almighty cock up but we will end up with Shearer. There was interesting article in telegraph before Sam went advocating a Shearer/Newell partnership http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/main.jhtml;jsessionid=UBQA0KDW5XTLLQFIQMFSFFWAVCBQ0IV0?xml=/sport/2008/01/06/sfnpad106.xml Someone with some experience if Shearer himself does a U turn and takes the job on Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tsunami Posted January 12, 2008 Share Posted January 12, 2008 I can't believe that Mort/ Ashley would be so niaive to have sacked Sam without thinking Harry was in the bag. Big embarrassments to them both. This is a shambles but not a disaster. Harry wouldn't have been my 1st choice. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest gggg Posted January 12, 2008 Share Posted January 12, 2008 Hahaha. What a joke Even the Spurs board had someone lined up before sacking Jol, didnt they? I wonder if they'll go for him now. Martin Jol. FFS Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keefaz Posted January 12, 2008 Share Posted January 12, 2008 It's a bit Sounessy, this, isn't it? Down to the dregs of football management because we acted without thinking. Throw some money at him hoping it'll work out. I'm a bit glum. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guyb Posted January 12, 2008 Share Posted January 12, 2008 Maclaren won won more trophy and got to one more european final than Redknapp and Allardyce. seriously Smac isn't as bad as you think- his teams are organised and tough to beat. He'll win games but entertaining? hand on heart, can list on one hand the number of games i walked away from the riverside with a spring in my step under him. steve round, his no.2 of choice, is already there as is Paul Barron.
