You can't put a price on his passion. http://t.co/LBXpsZEedF Sadly he's right. There are plenty of thick fans who think being a geordie is the foremost qualification for being a Newcastle manager.

Wullie Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 There's no excuse for 1 win in 24 home games like. Opened my eyes when Huddersfield gave him the bullet, most people were shocked apart from their fans who were jumping through hoops, and they subsequently got promoted. Fans know.

loki679 Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 It's a valid excuse. They're running on fumes and would need a far better manager than they can attract to do anything other than avoid relegation every year now. http://www.transferleague.co.uk/premiership-transfers/birmingham-city-transfers.html Jordan Mutch £1,000,000 Ben Foster £3,500,000 Jake Jervis £50,000 Jack Butland £3,500,000 Total £20,950,000 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're running on fumes and would need a far better manager than they can attract to do anything other than avoid relegation every year now. http://www.transferleague.co.uk/premiership-transfers/birmingham-city-transfers.html You're just doing what people do with us, when we slag off pardew. He had loads of money at Huddersfield and couldn't get them up. 1 win in 24 at home, regular negative tactics and awful football. Like I said my best mate supports them so I've seen it. If you think he's good enough for us, then you're in for a shock if he gets the job I haven't said anything even close to that last bit. You simply cannot manage a club well if you don't get any money to spend for years, it's completely different to Pardew getting Internationals handed to him all the time. http://www.transferleague.co.uk/football-transfers/huddersfield-town-transfers.html Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't know why you are linking Huddersfield, their budget was bigger than most of the teams in the league. http://sabotagetimes.com/reportage/birmingham-city-a-huddersfield-fan-on-what-to-expect-from-lee-clark/ Regardless of the money he gets at blues. They've been woeful to watch, and his football is dreadful. He's a poor manager and thats basically pretty much all their is to it. We'll just have to wait and see how well the next manager does.

Jack Flash Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 On the other hand, loads of our fans still give Pardew time and we still get 50k every game. Most outsiders don't even realize there's a problem here. I've never actually said anything about how good he is because I haven't watched anything from his teams and don't tent to trust other peoples opinions for the reason stated above. All I'm saying is the Birmingham job is a massive pain in the arse and will continue to be. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest neesy111 Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 That's true. But I mean I've watched them, and I've got blues supporting mates so I get a good amount of insight. It is, and I wouldn't argue against it but the likes of wolves/Bournemouth/ Ipswich/Rotherham/Brentford are all performing way better on similar budgets Wolves and Bournemouth will have much bigger budgets.

No there isn't, but there are fans who want a manager they can believe in, who can at least try and understand the club, Keegan was from Yorkshire but the fans responded to his style of play.Even Bobby Robson was a Durham lad but having a North East background and being a United fan from a young age helped.

Wullie Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 How does understanding the club help you tactically against Arsenal, or help you develop a young player into a top class one? Completely beyond me that, I'm afraid. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Completely beyond me that, I'm afraid. So it doesn't matter if a manager doesn't have the understanding of the soul of a club ? The type of player a club who fits in with a certain philosophy of what football should be ? If Keegan understood and Robson understood and even before that Harvey understood then I don't see why there isn't a manager out there who could do the same for us. If thats beyond you, you should be afraid. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest thenorthumbrian Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 What's the soul of the club then? You know it when you see it out there on the pitch.

Darth Crooks Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 I'd sooner base candidates on acumen and achievement than unquantifiable notions of passion and understanding. They're not mutually exclusive like, but the former is vastly more important than the latter. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest chicken little Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 did former captain and adopted Geordie Glenn Roeder understand the soul of the club? this all sounds like the exceptionalist garbage the scousers come out with about "the Liverpool way", an entitlement to attractive attacking football unique only to them.

Hanshithispantz Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 The point is even weirder considering the conversation has spurred from fucking Lee Clark It goes without saying that passion and an understanding of the club would be a welcome bonus of any manager like.

Point out where on earth I said that. I said that broadly all football fans support their club want to see the things you listed and they are in absolutely no way unique to the region. Let other fans speak up for their teams I can't. Newcastle United are unique to me, they do and should represent the region, they have roots here and are an important and high profile representative of the North East, that might not mean anything to you, perhaps it can't, but it does to me. If a manager or owner comes here they should be at first competent but they should also take time to appreciate what makes this club what it is, and should and can be, why is that too much to ask for ?

On the other hand, it's part of the reason they won't accept finishing 16th as a good season. A sense of entitlement in fans isn't a bad thing at all.
