r0cafella Posted September 28, 2014 Share Posted September 28, 2014 You know things are desperate when Venables is mentioned as a replacement. Taking away KK, all of our managers in the last 10 years have been worse. 20 years ago maybe. Venables is well past his sell by date. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

NewJerseyMag Posted September 28, 2014 Share Posted September 28, 2014 El fucking Tel. Might as well start a JFK in campaign. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ikri Posted September 28, 2014 Share Posted September 28, 2014 Weren't there some rumours that Ashley had offered him the job in the past, before JFK was first appointed? I'm sure there was talk that he had said he was interested in the job but not on a temporary basis as was being suggested at the time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He turned us down and Llambias said we wouldn't go anywhere near him after that but he's no longer here. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LRD Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 Yep: http://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/terry-venables-always-wanted-manage-7846860 Weird. The closest Venables came to managing at St. James’ Park was when he was joint manager of local rivals Middlesbrough with Bryan Robson in 2000/01. Seems like anyone could be a journalist at the Chronicle. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sima Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 I always hated Venables when he was a manager. Thought he was massively over-rated. Sure, won something with Barca but doesn't everyone and got England to the Euro semi finals but so did almost every manager of a home nation before him, yet the press fell over themselves for him like a bunch of fawning sycophants. However 10 years down the line and he looks like the next messiah next to our current shitstain. My, how times have changed and expectations have lowered. No almost about it, every home manager got to at least the SF iirc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NG32 Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 Venables, hahaha An out of touch dinosaur who will have NUFC playing defensive football. For the short term survival maybe a good idea to retain league status but other than that. Utter cack. A true Ashley appointment. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

However 10 years down the line and he looks like the next messiah next to our current shitstain. My, how times have changed and expectations have lowered. To be honest we were quite cack before he took over us, and had us play some good football for a few seasons and won the league for the first time in 10 years. His success was a bit short-lived - but we were also quite unstable these days. That said, I would go nowhere near him in 2014, particularly since he hasn't managed in... 10 years? Sir Bobby managed until his 70s, but he didn't leave the game and was able to keep learning and adapting. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ste Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 I don't want Venables to manage this club. If we get rid of Pardew, I'd expect them to recruit a good manager. Whether they do or not, that's another matter, but we shouldn't just accept any old has-been just because he isn't Pardew. I dread to think that people would be happy with Venables here. Just because the club are shit, and the fans are treat like shit, doesn't mean we should accept it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
