madras Posted October 16, 2008 Share Posted October 16, 2008 oh and ne5....who did liverpool and arsenal replace those two with and were they succesful. remember we replaced souness with roeder........... my point is pretty straightforward, madras. The Halls and Shepherd have been the best directors in the last 5 decades - by a mile - and their successors haven't got anywhere near matching them and don't look like they ever will. Despite you thinking it should all be so easy, thats one down. So how long do YOU think it will take ? shepherd/hall had been. you know i've never denied that were they great presiding over our drop from 3rd ? is finishing in the top half,not top 4, four times in their last 10 years the sign of a good board ? i find you very difficuilt to understand. the position we are in is,according to you,totally the fault of the current owners. yet the drop to 13th from 3rd,being one of the most exciting teams in the country to one of tje dullest wasn't the fault of the then owners. my point is more straightforward. they done well,then crap and i couldn't see them turning it round.

No. I said he'd fail in the Ramos thread as I got wind of the fact that they were going to sell their best 2 strikers from under his nose and replace them with shit. A manager who won't stand upto that or pays lip service to a system that has effectively destroyed Spurs hopes for a good season is a bufoon or has no self respect.

Mmmmmm i'm pretty sure most that i know of thought souness was a poor appointment the day he was appointed,same with roeder. the best (and i do try to look at things positivly) i could say the day we appointed allardyce was "at least we might be organised" in truth we knew the day they were appointed they were crap appointments.

TRon Posted October 16, 2008 Share Posted October 16, 2008 Souness and Roeder were abysmal decisions. If Ashley had made those appointments he'd have been hung drawn and quartered. Ironically his only proper appointment so far was the fans choice. Now he's being hung drawn and quartered for making that choice I suppose the system that deliver the mighty Ramos is foolproof? Any board that keeps making bad choices as manager is going to pay for it. That goes for Shepherd, Ashley and whoever is in charge at Spurs. Some mistakes are genuine and it's easy to scorn them in hindsight. Keegan, Allardyce and Ramos all looked good appointments at the time. Ramos and Keegan were partly successful as well even if things have gone sour. The two appointments for me which have no excuse are Souness followed by Roeder. They were both demonstrably badly thought out. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was indeed the point of my thread-ruining post -- two consecutive UEFA cups is not the work of a complete buffoon. And he's already won more at Spurs than any Toon manager since Joe Harvey. bottom of the premiership. The past counts for nothing, according to some, including you when you apply your usual hindsight. Are you saying he was better qualified than Dalglish ? I'm saying he's not a complete buffoon. I'm sorry if this point is too difficult for you. well, are you or are you not saying Ramos is a good candidate for the NUFC job ? If you are, on what basis ? If the basis is his past record, is it or is it not better than that of Dalglish ? If you think that because someone has won a trophy, it makes them a better candidate than Keegan, do you therefore think that the likes of Joe Royle, Maurice Evans, Bobby Gould, Steve McLaren and Brian Little were/are better managers than Keegan ? Take your time with this one. just a reminder. wouldn't want you to leave souness out of that list. do you think he should be in it ? this does appear to be the criteria that you are using ? Why don't you let Ozzie reply ? He tends to avoid such things like this, if it doesn't appeal to his hindsight ? Let him do it. that i'm using ? you are the one who uses cup wins as a guide and souness, the one appointment you've acknowledged was a mistake was a cup winner at blackburn and liverpool.
