BottledDog Posted October 11, 2011 Share Posted October 11, 2011 Feb 2011 Shefki Kuqi Unattached Free Brought in for 'experienced cover', didn't do a lot Was the definition of useless. Kuqi (rightly) never got much of a chance to play for us, but did't see any problem with us bringing him in as extra cover and wasn't for me a failure. Beyond just being there in an emergency, he seemed like he helped the spirit behind the scenes as much as anything and I think that is, as Stu highlights, something that we now place an emphasis on being important. /Oh and to be fair to the bloke he's still scoring goals. 5 in 8 this season.

Stu Posted October 11, 2011 Share Posted October 11, 2011 Oh and the 'missing' transfers during the period we like to call: "YOU FAT COCKNEY BASTARD, GET OUT OF OUR CLUB" Jan 2009 Peter Lovenkrands Unattached Free The height of our ambition at the time, chipped in with a few goals Jan 2009 Haris Vučkić NK Domzale fee tbc Development Squad - knocking on 1st team squad Jan 2009 Kevin Nolan Bolton Wanderers £4m I think we will look back on this as a successful signing overall as he came, we got relegated, then he scored a ridiculous amount of goals in 2 seasons before we were able (by fortune or design) to upgrade on him. Feb 2009 Ryan Taylor Wigan Athletic P/ex with N'Zogbia Came in, has done an average job overall as a utility player. Will forever be remembered for winning against the m*ckems. Feb 2009 Samuel Adjei Jonkopings Sodra IF fee tbc Developmental prospect - never made it Aug 2009 Danny Simpson Manchester United Loan Sep 2009 Peter Lovenkrands Unattached Free The height of our ambition at the time, chipped in with a few goals Sep 2009 Zurab Khizanishvili Blackburn Rovers Loan Sept 2009 Marlon Harewood Aston Villa Loan Nov 2009 Fabrice Pancrate Unattached Free Brought in for 'experience', didn't do a lot except [i[that[/i] goal Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest BooBoo Posted October 11, 2011 Share Posted October 11, 2011 Very well researched thread. Just goes to show how much we had lost the plot towards the end of the Shepherd reign. Majority of those signed by Soumess and Roedent were pap. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Multiple qualification for Europe, a few decent cup runs (would be nice to go to Wembley again, this time without having the opposition's 12th player in our team) and a manager who does at least 3 seasons. Given the state of football at the moment, that's putting him just behind KK and SBR as 'good times' for a NUFC supporter in recent times, non?

Since 1969 we have had 20 managers... There seems to be an obvious correlation between stability and success. Obviously the better the managers do, the more time they are given but some of the time given to the managers have never really given us the chance to succeed. Joe Harvey 1962-1975 Football League Second Division Champions: 1965, FA Cup Runners-up:1974, Inter-Cities Fairs Cup Winners: 1969 Gordon Lee 1975-1977 Football League Cup Runners-up: 1976 Given the benefit of doubt for reaching the final despite selling 'big name players' Richard Dinnis 1977 Bill McGarry 1977-1980 Arthur Cox 1980-1984 Promotion from Division 2 1984 Jack Charlton 1984-1985 Willie McFaul 1985-1988 Jim Smith 1988-1991 Ossie Ardiless 1991-1992 Kevin Keegan 1992-1997 FA Premier League Runners-up:1996, Football League First Division Champions:1993, FA Community Shield Runners-up:1996 Kenny Dalglish 1997-1998 Ruining a good side Ruud Gullit 1998-1999 Continuing the trend despite a Cup Final appearance Sir Bobby Robson 1999-2004 Graeme Souness 2004-2006 Glenn Roeder 2006-2007 Sam Allardyce 2007-2008 Kevin Keegan 2008 Joe Kinnear 2008-2009 Chris Hughton 2009-2010 Football League Championship 2010 Alan Pardew 2010- Present I just find it interesting some of the length in time in quite a lot of our appointments. From a personal perspective i only really remember from Gullit onwards and i am intrigued with our performances as a club during the 70's and 80's to warrant some quick changes in managers. Not really an argument just an observation Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
cp40 Posted October 11, 2011 Share Posted October 11, 2011 wow 20 managers since i first went, guess id have to put pards behind joe harvey, but i was far too young to understand at the time. Since the early 80s when I started going with mates, away games, season tickets etc, he has a good case for third best. tho i still rate Authur Cox ahead of pards just now.we never got to see his football in the first division.

Disco Posted October 11, 2011 Share Posted October 11, 2011 Community Shield runners up ffs. It was known as the Charity Shield in 1996! What a horrible day that was. Got absolutely fucking battered, Man United fans were graceless cunts, it pissed it down as soon as the game ended, it took 4000 days to get home. My first trip to the dump that was/is Wembley.

Stu Posted October 11, 2011 Share Posted October 11, 2011 Can we work out what percentages of transfers we perceive are good (green), average(orange) and bad(red), before and after the new transfer plan. When confronted with two numbers you divide the smaller number by the bigger one and then you multiply by 100. So if you scored 43 out of 89 in a test you divide 43 (the smaller number) by 89 (the bigger number), which equals 0.48. You then multiply 0.48 by 100 = 48 per cent. If you scored 24 out of 40 you divide 24 by 40 = 0.6. Multipled by 100 that comes to 60 per cent. So, there is your answer. You would probably need to add them up first according to score (R/A/G). Try an abacus if you run out of fingers and toes. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
