Gallowgate End Posted May 17, 2019 Share Posted May 17, 2019 I clearly said the best manager to ever manage us in terms of CV 1st Rafa Benitez 2nd Sir Bobby Robson Keegan That's quite a gap to fill The CV of Rafa Benitez and Sir Bobby Robson are on another planet to Keegan though. On CV alone Keegan wouldn’t even get a second interview up against them two Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gallowgate End Posted May 17, 2019 Share Posted May 17, 2019 Why are you obsessed with their achievements outside of NUFC? got fuck all to do with us I was just making the point that Keegan was just a good Newcastle manager not a great manager. Rafa Benitez and Sir Bobby Robson proved to be great managers all over the world. Rafa Benitez and Sir Bobby both won trophies in 3 different leagues by far the best we’ve had in terms of highest level of manager in charge of the club Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

leffe186 Posted May 18, 2019 Share Posted May 18, 2019 Thought Klopp didn't have a winner's mentality. Or is it Pochettino? I can't keep up. Suppose we'll find out on June 1st cos they can't both have one. Well quite. We will Pochettino has lost like 17 times this season with a lineup that cost on average £300million. “Miracle” worker though Got Spurs to a CL final. And it's hot shit anyway. Cba to find their most appeared XI but the strongest is arguably: Lloris - 12m Sanchez - 42m Alderweireld - 11.5m Vertonghen - 12m Trippier - 3.5m Sissoko - 30m Eriksen - 11m Rose - 1m Son - 22m Kane - Nowt Alli - 5m Total - £150m Even if you add in Lucas (22m), Lamela (25m) and Aurier (22.5m) for their 3 cheapest players it's still wildly inaccurate. Maybe he's stuffing 50's into the players kegs but that'd be a lot of notes. I'm not trying to even enter this argument, but wasn't most of that team purchased like prior to the most recent super inflation of transfer fees? Literally honest question. I recall at the time thinking Son was expensive as fuck in context to other deals. There are a couple of points there. If we're looking at other transfer fees in that window then we see: De Bruyne - 55M Di Maria (to PSG) - 44.3M Sterling - 44M Martial - 36M Benteke - 32.5M Otamendi - 32M Depay - 31M Firmino - 29M Schneiderlin - 25M So was he expensive as fuck? In retrospect, absolutely not. In addition, I think you kinda reinforce my point. I suspect that you thought he was expensive as fuck at the time because he wasn't as high profile or proven, so it seemed like a lot of money to pay. We have had to take those kind of risks because - like I say - we haven't been able to compete with the other five for wages and/or fees for the proven stars. Our other buys that window? Alderweireld for 11.5M, N'Jie for 8.3M, Wimmer for 4.3M and Trippier for 3.5M. Two absolute bargains, one guy we managed to shift on for a significant profit, and one of those risks that didn't pay off. Poch has done an extraordinary job.

La Parka Posted May 18, 2019 Share Posted May 18, 2019 I remember how we were struggling to balance all the players Allardyce has signed so Keegan with his lack of tactical nous played Owen in the hole behind Viduka and Martins and it actually worked That tactic was amazing. Then Mike Ashley ruined it Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

xLiaaamx Posted May 18, 2019 Share Posted May 18, 2019 I didn't get to watch Keegan's team but I know how good it was. Robson's team felt like a second chance almost to witness good football being played here in modern times after Keegan left. Can't underestimate the job Rafa and even Hughton himself did at giving us a chance to still save this club from itself, basically. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gallowgate End Posted May 18, 2019 Share Posted May 18, 2019 Poch has done an extraordinary job. Most valuable squads across the whole of Europe according to a report by CIES.

Gallowgate End Posted May 18, 2019 Share Posted May 18, 2019 Decent manager but the £ for £ stuff by the media regarding Poch is absolute rubbish. He has one of the most valuable squads in the Premier League and Europe he isn’t doing a “Miracle” with it Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
joeyt Posted May 18, 2019 Share Posted May 18, 2019 Pochettino is the one who's made their squad more valuable I thought me shoehorning in a terrible pun was going to be the most tiresome thing in this thread Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
