pinkeye Posted January 15, 2008 Share Posted January 15, 2008 Haven't read every post in this thread so may be going over old ground here but, I would be happy to see Deschamps in charge at Newcastle for two reasons: 1) Is he about the only manager so far that Oliver hasn't predicted would be the next man! 2) He would get us playing good flowing football that is easy on the eye and effective. Here is a quote creditted to him from "the water carrier" “If you want to have the most freedom to act, the best country seems to be England, where the coach can decide more on signings,” Deschamps told L’Equipe. “Spain is attractive too but Italy would be difficult as I am labelled ‘Juventus’.” Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Belfast Boy Posted January 15, 2008 Share Posted January 15, 2008 http://www.skybet.com/skybet?action=GoEvType&id=10002896 Would like him more than Houillier! Next Liverpool Manager - Next Permanent Manager (Friday January 18th, 18:00) I saw that too, is Rafa gone? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Knightrider Posted January 15, 2008 Share Posted January 15, 2008 Of the realistic foreign names, I'd be happy with Deschamps who I remember as a very good player, much more than a mere water carrier, he was a splendid midfield general type with good vision and tactical awareness. Monaco played some great stuff too, tore Chelsea to shreds. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest kinaldo Posted January 15, 2008 Share Posted January 15, 2008 Skybet are the only ones that seem to have stopped taking bets? Was it Talksport that broke the news? And aren't the owned by Sky? I think Deschamps fits all the criteria. I'd much prefer him over Houllier because he's young and hungry whereas we've seen exactly what Houllier can do, and I'm guessing his best years are behind him. Deschamps is a gamble but I'd rather that than what Houllier brings to the table. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Knightrider Posted January 15, 2008 Share Posted January 15, 2008 I'd actually be impressed with the club if were appointed Deschamps when people are clamouring for KK and Shearer, myself included (but only because we're being linked with Hughes et al), it would show some balls, dispassionate bravery and thinking outside the box. Things this club could do with regarding the running of it off the field. Aye, why not. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Logic Posted January 15, 2008 Share Posted January 15, 2008 The water-carrier comments was sour grapes from a bruised ego after Deschamps had recieved plaudits from the French press regarding his contribution to the national side. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its been said that this is a routine thing that happens every night. But loads of them are still taking bets so I'm not sure if these sites have closed early for the night or if they geniunely have just stopped taking bets altogether.

thomas Posted January 15, 2008 Share Posted January 15, 2008 Wiki cracks me up at times: Even better now. Cheers to whoever did it He has recently emerged as favourite to succeed Sam Allardyce as manager of Newcastle United, who are by far the biggest and best team in the North-East of England and also have the most intelligent, most loyal, and the hardest fans. Terry McDermott is reportedly worried as his job at the club has always been to be the water carrier, though he also lists carrying Lucozade amongst his countless talents.

johnnypd Posted January 15, 2008 Share Posted January 15, 2008 i wonder how much sky are making off all these bets, a cynic might be tempted to think they are deliberately building up a new favourite everyday to keep the racket going. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

fredbob Posted January 15, 2008 Share Posted January 15, 2008 Of all the managers out there who havent got a "proven trpohy winning" record, Deschamps is probably the one would be happy with, its encouragin that the poll says that not many people would be against him. That says alot to be honest. I think he might win over the fans becasue of the CL Final, that would be banded around the terraces soon enough. He ticks all the boxes if you ask me. Bottom line is that if we were to try this and he were to fail, i wouldnt be too angry with Mort and Ashley becaseu they showed enough bollocks to make a proactive appointment. I also like the fact that the potential appointment is one where the skys the limit, alot of managers out there who would be relaisitc for us have a limit so to spek, for example Houllier, there would come a time where we know it'd be the end for him, however Deschamps to me has no limit because he is so young.

Guest Toon83 Posted January 15, 2008 Share Posted January 15, 2008 Deschamps seems again like Hughes to fit the bill, that Chris Mort laid out this afternoon in tomorrows programme notes. His odds have obviously shortened dramatically so somebody must know something, I for one voted for Yes on Deschamps, we need a young manager ala Deschamps or Hughes instead of a near pensioner such as Houllier (60) and Redknapp (61), the little frenchman at 39 has all of his best years in management ahead of him, and plays the style of football that the newcastle fans like.

Wallace Posted January 15, 2008 Share Posted January 15, 2008 Skybet are the only ones that seem to have stopped taking bets? Was it Talksport that broke the news? And aren't the owned by Sky? Talksport were talking to Philippe Auclair (spelling?) from France Football who said that their information was that it was not Houllier that Newcastle were interested in but Deschamps and that talks had definitely taken place. He thought it was a strong possibility but it was not a foregone conclusion that it would happen. He did say that Deschamps was keen on working in the Premiership though as he would have more freedom than at clubs on the continent. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
