80 Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 Ketsbaia. Absolutely Ketsbaia. We don't need a manager capable of managing the madness of this club, we need a manager mental enough to embrace it. Someone who won't crack under the weight of expectation and show their age, but who will thrive because of it and get better. Someone who won't shout at players because of poor performances, but may physically harm them instead. Give Ketsbaia the job and a 357 magnum and this club will be fixed in no time. Someone to out-mental the club, I like your thinking. To me, Ketsbaia, Terim and Bruce sound like the strongest contenders so far mentioned, for their differing reasons. Been saying this kind of thing for years now, but my true desire would be shaped by knowing exactly what Ashley intends to do with the club - who would be best suited to managing our club with him around.

Guest Heneage Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 Surely if JK keeps us up he's going to sign the contract. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
toontownman Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 funny thing there is no chance we would ever appoint ketsbaia and a slim chance we would even go foreign but we are likely to think about appointing shearer that has no experience at all.

Guest firetotheworks Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 I really like what Roy Hodgsons doing at Fulham and would like him here, but I also think its a bit shit trying to steal him from another club when theyre doing so well.

indi Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 A decent manager, with a proven track record of some kind. ie Not Shearer (due to the latter) or Bruce (due to the former). No stupid risky appointments a la Keegan also, the riskiest I'd be prepared to go for would be someone like Slaven Bilić. In fact give it to Bilić, reckon he might take it in the summer.

Guest dover Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 Id like to see someone with real ambition with something to prove, to instill the same passion into our players, so for me an Aidy Boothroyd type, not necessarily him but someone like that. I think Shearer is the man, I honestly do but doubt its ever going to happen. Id have any of these: Paul Jewel Aidy Boothroyd Shearer Keane Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

9 Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 Tony Mowbray I understand that there's a lot of sympathy for Mowbray's "style of football," but I've never found him particularly impressive. Then again, I tend to be biased against managers who shaft my countrymen. only doubt about him is how good he is in the transfer market.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueStar Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 Title makes me feel bad for all the people that wake up tomorrow thinking has been sacked. Far more likely to walk than get sacked, surely? We're offering him lucrative contracts to stay here 3 more years! I've fucking love Ketsbia here to be honest. Imagine what would happen if Lambias gave him a slap Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 Joe's foreign player phobia is becoming more evident every day. The two hopeless late bids yesterday were for Johnson and Kieron Richardson. To think we only got Nolan after he rang round other managers last week is frightening. He should be removed ASAP. Martinez and Bruce would be worth a go.

joeyt Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 Would love Ketsbaia but just because he is cult. Bruce would be good, and him and his scouting team seem to be finding some really good players in South America, and makes his team hard to beat at home Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 Ketsbaia might get the fans' backing, which is a big plus. Would quite like to see someone who actually understands the recruitment system we have in place, and the restrictions we're working under. I can't believe their aren't quality managers that would take those limitations and work with them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

merlin Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 Tony Mowbray I agree - was my choice after Allardyce was fired. Reasons? Look up his career on Wiki and see how has has been a real battler in both career and personal life(let's face it, ANYONE taking over THIS poisoned chalice is going to need ALL that..!). Has done well wherever he has been, and even Fergie would have struggled to keep WBA up on Mowbray's meagre budget ; plays attractive football and with a decent striker, would be higher in table. Still young(around 45), a NE lad and capable of building a CLUB over several years while playing the type of football the fans want to see, which is what Newcastle needs, esp the stability... Whether he would join the club if we went down and they didn't is another matter, but if we BOTH go down, its a possibility because he's been there over 2 years now, got them promotion, but probably realises there is a limit....there will be no doubt that he is aware of how big a club NUFC could be. Whatever happens this season,I reckon he's destined for bigger things. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest teepee Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 i think mowbray plays fantasy/fm football - ignorant to the situation he is in that is. with a squad like the one he has (and the one he'd get here) you need to be able to adapt your style, so as to battle your way through many matches. from what i've seen of wba this season, there is much too much "we want to play attractive football" about them....

SUPERTOON Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 Not many realistic options, no decent manager will come with Wise here. If he goes then Bruce would probably be our most realistic option. Not sure we can afford to wait until the summer it may be to late. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SUPERTOON Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 If we manage to stay up Mark Hughes will probably be available in the summer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarrenBartonCentrePartin Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 Steve Bruce would be our best bet without a shadow of a doubt. If he manages to hold onto Valencia, I can't see him jumping ship though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ask the Scots if they thought he played 'Fantasy Football' up there.... You will soon find NUFC fans complaining if they DON'T get so-called Fantasy Football - look what happened when Dalglish was manager(and he inherited a tighter budget than KK), he was slated for playing 'unattractive football', but got us to 2nd place and a Cup Final..he was fired after the second game of a season because of the mortal sin of drawing the first 2 games, one away at Chelsea, because of 'Unattractive football'...what happened when Gullit got the job ? A load of idiots wearing curly wigs and chanting 'Sexy football'....what happened after that? Ask Shearer & Rob Lee..... And then, there was Allardyce......and then, Kinnear..... Mowbray got Albion promoted playing decent football - you can't get the players who have those strengths to play a different way in the Prem - its hardly his fault if he hasn't been given the dosh to get the players necessary to change the system ; and don't forget, he was a tough CH himself, so he knows all about defending... NUFC have tried getting so-called 'proven' managers, incl a foreign one in Gullit who did well at Chelsea...none of it has worked. The club's only option is to get a younger manager with potential and let him run the club on a proper footing without interference. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
