ATB Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 Feels like a quite unnecessary thread. But I have wounder a while. Who is Arthur Cox? The only thing I know is that he is an old member of Keegan´s 92-97 backroomstaff. But since he is nearly 70 I´m woundering what he is supose to do. I got a feeling that he isen´t the most tactical pearson on this earth, so what is he supose to do? Another Terry Mac that can bring new and more jokes? It feels like Keegan nead better pearsons around him than old pals to suceed this time. I hope he will fix that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greg Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 ok. Still. What is he supose to do? or have I got this all wrong?

Thespence Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 ok. Still. What is he supose to do? He is going to be looking at the club from top to bottom & report back to Keegan Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

James Posted January 25, 2008 Share Posted January 25, 2008 Some old people need to accept that probably over 25% of Newcastle fans weren't born when Cox was manager. Me for example, I know he managed us, I know he signed Keegan and they became great friends, and I know he got us promoted, and later rejoined the backroom staff under Keegan, but anything else comes from Wikipedia.

I can never remember a time in my life when I 'only' mixed with people of exactly my own age. Particularly in relation to supporting NUFC, I (and everyone else, young or old, that I knew) always knew all about the current situation at the club, and all previous situations at the club - and ALL our famous players and managers. I cannot understand why or how "when you were born" should have even the tiniest little influence on anyones level of knowledge about our club. If you are a supporter, that is. I know that it is sometimes regarded as 'cool' to act ignorant (amongst some people) but it cannot be regarded as 'cool' (surely) to post on a NUFC forum, and act IGNORANT about NUFC?

No. Dont think the original poster was trying to be cool, it was a genuine question. Football is much less about generations and history these days, and it therefore isn't suprising a younger person doesn't know who Cox is, especially as Cox's achievements almost 25 years ago, aren't up there with the league challenges, and domestic and european cup runs we have experienced in recent years.
