brummie Posted August 9, 2009 Share Posted August 9, 2009 Why would he bring O` leary in instead of alan shearer? Which one of the two will generate the most fan revenue in newcastle? What a load of bollocks. thats all i want to say really..... Why appoint a proven Premiership and European manager, when we could appoint a rookie. Yeah great logic. I recognise O'Leary has a great track record and has the potential to be a top manager and i'm surprised he's still out of work. If that means i'm on a wind up then so be it. FFS. I just wrote a long response to that, but I've deleted it and opted to sit here slowly shaking my head instead. Honestly, no. Just no. Trust me.

Dave Posted August 9, 2009 Share Posted August 9, 2009 http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-1205367/Newcastle-poised-make-new-bid-David-OLeary.html?ITO=1490 Newcastle poised to make a new bid for David O'Leary By Simon Jones Last updated at 12:04 AM on 10th August 2009 Newcastle United have made a renewed bid for David O'Leary and hope to name him as manager before Saturday's home game against Reading. Sportsmail exclusively revealed last week that O'Leary had turned down Newcastle's offer, fearing that if the club was sold he would then be replaced as manager. But Newcastle have now revised their terms and owner Mike Ashley is prepared to take the club off the market to give O'Leary the security he wants. Ashley made up his mind at the end of last week, believing he would have greater chance of selling the club if they could win promotion back to the Premier League. However, he did not want to pitch O'Leary straight into Saturday's match at West Bromwich Albion and risk his new man getting off to a bad start. Instead he wants to give O'Leary more time to address the players and organise them ahead of what will be a potentially volatile atmosphere at St James' Park. And there remains concern from the O'Leary camp of what would happen if a consortium involving local businessman Barry Moat puts together a proposed bid which would put Alan Shearer firmly back in the frame. O'Leary has been out of management since he left his position at Aston Villa in 2006. The former Arsenal and Republic of Ireland defender has also previously managed Leeds United where he had current Newcastle captain Alan Smith under his tutelage. I can only hope the Mail are as clueless as ever. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jdckelly Posted August 9, 2009 Share Posted August 9, 2009 at this stage i'm beyond caring just get a manager (personally i think strachan or curbishley would do a great job) and get some players in so we can have a good run at promotion and i'll be content.

Decky Posted August 9, 2009 Share Posted August 9, 2009 If he stays then im convinced he is out to ruin us. I mean he stops us from rebuilding, we lose players like Beye due to the uncertainty round the club, then he just decides when it is possibly too late, that he wants to stay? Load of shite. He has done nothing but make a mockery of our club in the last year and him staying would be just another chapter in that fat cunts cringeworthy story here. The minute he announces he is staying, start the count down clock to the next big flounce, my money is on our next defeat. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

dustynrg Posted August 9, 2009 Share Posted August 9, 2009 As I said before, Joe Kinnear would be primed to say he had been offered the job, they're underhand and devious, as the business world knows from Ashley's dealings in the city. I definitely believe these stories are planted. I was worried about OLeary until I read the line about what would happen if Moat puts a bid together, do you really think OLeary would take the job on Monday knowing there MIGHT be a bid in from Moat on Tuesday? Even he's not that desperate. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

macca888 Posted August 10, 2009 Share Posted August 10, 2009 What makes everyone think that Shearer is the answer? Lets be honest here, he didnt exactly impress in his 8 game stint against some ordinary opposition (Portsmouth, Fulham). Some of these players saying they would have stayed if Shearer was appointed makes me wonder why they didnt play for him during those 8 games. Whilst DOL isnt my first choice (neither would Shearer be as well), he has the experience, like him or not, and to be honest, does anyone on here feel we are in any position to pick and choose at present? We desperately need some stability, guidance and organisation, a figurehead etc etc etc. Someone who can look at the transfer window now and bring in a couple of bargains on free transfers (Camara, Campbell etc) in what little time is left. In all honesty, Shearer probably asked for too much and Ashley wasnt in any position to give him it. I am not defending MA but remember, he has paid off well over 100 million of debt from the previous regime and he made it quite public last year that we are still paying off transfer fees for the likes of Martins, Owen, Luque and Duff (27 million pounds). Granted, he has sold off other assets since but that has probably been out of necessity to minimise future debt. In all honesty, we need an experienced manager and DOL is probably the best we can get from an ordinary bunch. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good times Always believed he thought he had it in him to promote us. The guy is seriously deluded, the conclusions he reaches on his decisions are beyond moronic. I dont have much ill feeling towards DOL, but its never going to be optimal with Ashley as the owner. Then all the negativity still hangs over the fans & its incredibly incredibly likely that thats only going to come out once again. Even if we have a great start...we'll then start EXPECTING promotion. If we become aware we're good enough to go up, the expectancy will hit when certain results dont go to well...then the pressure will come in. If we just have a crap or average year, we'll feel like we're underperforming and the pressure will hit then instead. At some point with Ashley in charge, we will not be happy & the players performance will be effected. Its a pretty strong certainty & that is only going to have a negative effect on us at some point. I have a hard time believing we'll go up with Ashley as owner regardless. He's even less likely to invest in us now...if he does stay as owner, i fully expect him to have seen that west brom game as a reason to believe the team is good enough as it is & only needs a manager.
