Nobody Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 It doesn't matter who's in charge imo - we'll live or die by how many matches Viduka and Martins play. That is probably true. We've said it for quite some time, that if we stay up, it will be thanks to the players. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Exiled in Texas Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 Very different circumstances from last time he was in charge, hopefully he can keep us up, would prefer a proper manager like. Exactly. This is not like last time (although we're not out of the woods yet). But the situation is more under control than the last time that Hughton was thrust into it. Situation is not perfect, but better than last time. I do wonder if they are NOT hiring a proper manager, so that they can start afresh during the summer without an incumbent in the way.

oldtype Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 I honestly haven't been this angry for a long, long time. How the fuck do they persist on making exactly the wrong decision every fucking time. Beggars belief. Ashley and the village of idiots he has making decisions for him really don't have the slightest, slightest clue. Just fuck off. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ronaldo Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 had it man, jesus put f***ing Wise in charge, get Roeder back, anything but this clueless wimp He may be a poor manager but that is simply because he isn't one. He hasn't asked to be in charge of the team, and I think your being harsh with that description of him. It's not his fault he's had to cover for our ill/stroppy/banned managers when they've pissed off. Hughton seems to work so f***ing hard for this club, he's been employed doing caretaker care quite a lot, it seems to be just him and Kinnear doing training, and he seems to be getting a raw deal. Has he complained? Has he hell, he's gotten on with the job. I agree with the fact he's poor at managing the team, but now he's broken his duck, and also with Calderwood on board (managerial experience, albeit at a lower level) I'm not as pessimistic as some. Regardless of what division we're in next season, Hughton deserves a f***ing massive bonus and a medal. I consider the guy a bit of a coward tbh, could have exerted himself and really made a go of it first time round but instead said he really didn't want the job after the Hull game and had the team playing like they didn't give a shit. It took Kinnear absolutely laying into them at HT against Blackburn to get them playing with conviction when in reality Hughton should have been doing it for weeks Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

WhatTheFunk Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 Some of you lot really are fucking hilarious What the fuck are you upset about? Us missing out on the CL next season? Get it through your thick brains! Our club is in turmoil, and has been for the last 3 or 4 years. The public/world/football opinion of NUFC in that time has been of a piece of shit mickey mouse club. We have a massive storm to weather, whether we like it or not. Chris Hughton, Ray Houghton, or not. Grow the fuck up some of you ffs!! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shak Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 I don't think we'll see any noticeable drop-off, Kinnear was absolutely useles after all. One clueless fuck out, another in. I'd wager the epic shitness of Houghton last time out was as much due to circumstances at the time as anything. He'll do better this time, though he'll still be shite. The real issue here is that the board can now give Kinnear the job full-time in the summer, even if we go down. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm upset about the fact that the club just blew off a golden opportunity to amicably cut ties with Joe Kinnear and appoint a manager that's actually qualified for the job that can save us from relegation in the short term and offer some mid-table stability for a few years. Who the f*** was talking about CL qualification? Instead, they've chosen to take a massive gamble on our Premiership status by leaving us effectively managerless until the end of the season, all because they're desperate to offer a long term contract to a manager who's not only f***ing s***, completely insane, and utterly out of his depth, but who also shouldn't be doing the job for his own health's sake.

If this report is true then people have a right to be upset. The man isnt a manager and we will be going into our most important run in since 1996 without a manager in charge of the team. Even Terry Venables would be a far better choice until the end of the season. Appointing a coach, and nothing more than a coach as manager when we are in such a position as we are would be a massive massive mistake. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you really believe Ashley continues to employ Kinnear because he thinks he's the dog's bollocks of football management? Besides. I'll think about maybe busting a nut when the club confirm via the official website that Hughton is in charge for the rest of the season, with NO new manager coming in, and that Kinnear has in fact signed "the contract" and will be staying on for 2 more seasons.

I wasn't expect Scolari or Hiddink. What I was expecting was having a manager at all. There are plenty of managers out there currently with a Championship club or unemployed that we could bring in to keep us up and give us stability for a couple of years. The fact that they didn't even try was worse than criminal. You know that Kinnear will sign the contract on his hospital bed and will be here for the foreseeable future. That's the only logical explanation. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
