I obviously never wanted Souness but he was a lot worse than I could have imagined. For some reason i thought he would win a trophy here before things went south.

 

Within 6 months Bellamy and Robert were gone right? Signed Boumsong in January. Absolute bobbins. Souness the worst manager i've experienced due to what he inherited. SMC next. I don't count Carver.

 

Robert lasted the season but Souness take the huff when Robert simply stated we weren't as good under him as the previous season.

 

Such a pathetic manager.

That dressing room at the time was toxic though, some of those fuckers far too big for their boots. He could have dealt with the Bellamy situation differently, at least play him until end of season and then replace him quietly.

 

Wasnt he getting fired at Blackburn anyway but then we paid them compo to get him?

Must be a weird one for Dyche. Knows that he’s being used for the purpose of stabilising before they get someone else in. I don’t like his football but I don’t mind him as a person

Don’t understand Marinakis’ strategy with this (he is a fucking nut job tbf).

 

It’s not even November so you can’t really say they’re in a relegation battle, and most likely won’t be.

 

Why not hire someone for the long term, unless nobody wanted it and Dyche was the only one. 
 

Completely undone all the good will of getting back into Europe and now they’ll probably languish in that 11th-15th range for the foreseeable.

There’s an Uber Eats advert role being kept nice and warm alongside fellow PFMs Sham, Pards and Pulis.

He's an absolute tool and fraud. From the School of Bruce and Big Sam. Can’t stand him.

Souness was also close to getting sacked at Blackburn but we bought him out.

 

it was one of those appointments you knew wasnt going to end well the moment it happened and you just have to wait out the inevitable. Probably our version of forest getting Ange

I still think for how bad the football was and with a squad that from memory, he mainly assembled. That Allardyce played the worst football I’ve seen in my time supporting the club. 
 

Maybe I’m blinkered as I was going fairly regularly when he was appointed. But Derby, Fulham and Wigan away are probably in my top ten worst NUFC games I’ve been to. Not in terms of the result. As I’ve seen far worse hidings and we even won at Fulham :lol: But just for how bad we were and how awful the game was. 
 

I remember home games against Wigan and City that were similarly shite. Wasn’t at the Pompey 1-4 thank fuck. I think it was as bad as Bruce. Possibly even worse. 
 

I find him even more insufferable than Souness and all.

Urrrrr grim times. The loss to Derby really sticks in the memory. Didn't they get 4 of the 11 points from us?

Souness, Bruce and Kinnear are appointments I’ll never get over because of who they replaced.

 

Pardew was a tit but we did genuinely have 1-2 good seasons with him, probably one actually. But we played good football and beat a lot of the so called big 6 that year.

 

McClaren ended up being a tit but there was a little bit of hope there and we made some good signings that summer. He was just too shit to do anything with them.

Perfect making himself some big money.

As its topical, its worth checking out Souness' record at Benfica.

No coincidence Boavista broke the usual three to qualify for the Champions League that season or that Benfica lost the only game a Finnish team has ever won the Champions League
