Mick Posted June 4, 2013 Share Posted June 4, 2013 f***ing grim. I know, the manager losing the player tried to warn us not to sign him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mick Posted June 4, 2013 Share Posted June 4, 2013 What a train wreck of a manager Allardyce was We've had more than our fair share of shit managers. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optimistic Nut Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 Sacking Bobby was never the problem, despite how we handled it. Replacing him with Souness was the killer blow. Jesus man, clowns. If we hadn't sacked Bobby we wouldn't have had Souness, of course it was a problem. We were on a par with Liverpool for 3 seasons between 01-04. To try and take the next step after a relatively poor season in 04, they replaced Houllier with Benitez, we clung on to Robson 4 months too long and got Souness. Terrible mid-management from the top.

That's it. Bobby wasn't going to be around too much longer anyway, it wasn't the fact of him going that was the problem but the timing and manner. We and Liverpool diverged so much from 1 place apart because of that summer. Probably Bobby shouldve gone that summer and helped bring in a replacement. After that he shouldve stuck til the following summer. We mayve had a relatively poor season but wed have remained in touching distance of the pack.

LucaAltieri Posted May 6, 2014 Share Posted May 6, 2014 Quote from his autobiography: https://twitter.com/darrenraff/status/463643599268507649 Anyone surprised to know that Souness' coaching style was influenced by complete dinosaurs? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The College Dropout Posted May 6, 2014 Share Posted May 6, 2014 Had Bobby seen out that year we would've been in a decent position. No doubt we would have finished top 6 again, qualified for Europe again. No doubt. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. I am surprised that you've bothered to post this over 8 years too late. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skeletor Posted May 6, 2014 Share Posted May 6, 2014 We'd probably still be a good team with a decent owner now had Souness not destroyed our reputation completely. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

bealios Posted November 21, 2015 Share Posted November 21, 2015 Never did mind Souness as a player, pundit or manager of other sides. Dreadful appointment for us, especially given the squad at the time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wallsendmag Posted November 21, 2015 Share Posted November 21, 2015 Just read about him being in hospital. I was always told if you can't say anything nice don't say anything at all so I'll leave it at that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
HawK Posted November 21, 2015 Share Posted November 21, 2015 Just read about him being in hospital.

Would be hypocritical of me to come on here and wish him well when in all honesty I couldn't care less what happens to him. Anyway I hear he's making a good recovery so you can dry your eyes now.

Robster Posted November 23, 2015 Share Posted November 23, 2015 Yeah was a bit of a crass comment that. Was a fantastic player back in the day by all accounts He was indeed. Dirty bastard mind and hard with it. I remember one tackle he made while playing for Rangers. European or UEFA Cup I think it was. Studs right into the blokes thigh. Probably sums him up best Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
