Kitman Posted January 15, 2008 Share Posted January 15, 2008 tbf, souness was actually right he was after boa motre for over 6 months (wud of been a good signing and cost less) and was always credited with wanting anelka and he would of been 10x times better, never injured and cost a whole lot less if u have a chairman buying and selling players behind a managers back then you have problems this is why we are in the position we are now as he says, souness would say that. But I expect you know best Leazes, from day one of the Luque signing I told people that Souness wanted Boa Morte, and Freddie decided he was over-priced. HE told Souness to buy Luque. That comes from a source NOT involved in NUFC, who has day to day dealings with Fulham. He has no reason whatsoever to lie. This isn't me making the claim now Souness has come out with it, it's on toonchat, or toontastic, and has been from the start. I don't trust Souness with 99% of what he says, but he's absolutely spot on about this situation. Overpriced as in the club didn't have the money at the time / his terms and the fee were too high, or overpriced as in Shepherd didn't rate him personally ? There is a massive difference between those 2 scenarios. I've said it before and I'll say it again. No manager worth his salt is a yes man, they would resign or force a sacking if they want their money, Souness is many things but he's no yes man. And he certainly didn't force a sacking. Quite simply, the idiot is in a complete state of denial about the mess he made of the job and always will be. That comment he made about only being allowed money to tart up the team must be the most stupid ever and nobody in the studio at the time was either bothered enough or knowledgeable enough to challenge him about it. We offered £3.3m. Fulham wanted £5.5m. We pulled out of the deal because Fred had been offered Luque and didn't want to pay £5.5m for Boa Morte. The club clearly had the money, and it never got to the stage of agreeing terms. Regarding Luque, according to Souness he was told he would cost 2m. We paid 9.5m for him. Boumsong was signed by Rangers on a free transfer and was valued at the time iirc in the region of 2m. We paid 8m. Boumsong's transfer is under investigation by the police. Luque's transfer isn't. You may see a pattern here. I couldn't possibly comment. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest tuppence Posted January 18, 2008 Share Posted January 18, 2008 I remember Souey saying in January 2005 that he wanted Michael owen (Radio Newcastle). So he can't totally absolve himself. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Phil K Posted January 18, 2008 Share Posted January 18, 2008 From the Mail: Former Newcastle chairman Shepherd to respond to criticism but you'll have to wait for the book "How I bolloxed up the Toon" ?

Baggio Posted January 20, 2008 Share Posted January 20, 2008 Well if you know nobody cares (which is obvious because nobody replied) then why keep bumping threads looking for one? Surely you're not that desperate to talk about the bloke. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NE5 Posted January 20, 2008 Share Posted January 20, 2008 it would appear that 2sheds, having been online less than 2 hours ago, has conceded defeat here and so doesn't wish to pursue this debate further as a result. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

GM Posted January 21, 2008 Share Posted January 21, 2008 A pair of Monkeys chucking shit at each other. ...would be more entertaining than anything either Souness or Shepherd have to say. Pathetic that they should be allowed to carry on in this way, it just persists in dragging the club down - why they don't just both fuck off and die is quite beyond me.
