Yep, he would have been perfect just behind him or as the second forward. He’s a very likeable person too by all accounts! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest HTT II Posted June 14, 2022 Share Posted June 14, 2022 I do like mind how a lot of Championship clubs seem to think way outside of the box when it comes to managers and yet some PL clubs where they’d love to be keep relying on dinosaur PFMs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted June 14, 2022 Share Posted June 14, 2022 Hope he does well. Bet he’s spoken to Dalglish if not Shearer too at some point, good mentors if he has. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scored a great volley from the edge of the box in a preseason friendly at Birmingham. Felt we had a great signing on our hands, ruined by the loss of Shearer. Not sure if that also turned out to be Beardsley and Ferdinand's last game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TBG Posted June 14, 2022 Share Posted June 14, 2022 It's not used in a bad way (this time) but I hate how it's nearly always "former Newcastle United...". Tomasson went onto play for 5 other clubs and according to Wikipedia played for us the least amount of times. Fully expect Nile Ranger to commit murder and it'll be "Former Newcastle United player.." when he's gone on to play for 460 other clubs since leaving us.

Wolfcastle Posted June 14, 2022 Share Posted June 14, 2022 (edited) Hope he does well, it does feel a fresh move but lets not kid ourselves he was anything but abysmal for us. Can't see the logic in Shearer's being injured causing Tomasson to fluff all those chances, score exclusively pub league level league goals (horrific miskicks, deflections or richochets.

Tsunami Posted June 15, 2022 Share Posted June 15, 2022 Shearer’s injury resulted in JDT having to play as the main striker and he missed a sitter on debut. It was a position he wasn’t suited to and that miss seemed to have a huge impact on him. We’d only kept Sir Les…… Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted June 15, 2022 Share Posted June 15, 2022 Asprilla was the main striker at the start of that season wasn’t he? Scored two in that game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Bonk Posted June 15, 2022 Share Posted June 15, 2022 "Vincent Kompany can take inspiration from Wayne Rooney as Burnley look to bounce back to the Premier League" https://www.skysports.com/football/news/11095/12621585/vincent-kompany-can-take-inspiration-from-wayne-rooney-as-burnley-look-to-bounce-back-to-the-premier-league Goes on to not mention any reference of said inspiration. Why did Kompany retire at 33? Kinda insane to be managing Burnley at 36. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The College Dropout Posted June 15, 2022 Share Posted June 15, 2022 Body was done. He didn't manage 30 appearances in a sinle season in his last 5 years of football. Even Callum Wilson has managed that 3 times in the last 5 seasons without European football. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

My knowledge on the subject was largely based on a comment a friend made as well as noticing they came third, behind Royale Union and missing out on CL.
