huss9 Posted March 18, 2021 Share Posted March 18, 2021 He's a tedious WUM just like so many others. It's a reaction from him as he failed here because he's s***. He knows it as well. Don't really consider him one of the WUM brigade tbh, he's just a bitter ex-player who hasn't come to terms with the fact he was a s*** manager. If he had ever been considered a successful manager then his views would be of more interest, but he wasn't. He won some stuff at Liverpool on the back of the groundwork done before him, then he promptly turned that to s***. He also a trophy or two at Rangers where he spent much more than Celtic, the only other club in the league capable of winning anything. Not disputing, but he also won the League Cup at Blackburn. Yet he still went on to prove he was a useless manager with us. No idea what the circumstances were with his short term success at Blackburn, but he proved at Liverpool that winning trophies meant nothing there, they went on a downward spiral so fast the longer he stayed there. They were almost unrecognisable as a big club by the time they kicked him out. Blackburn were one day away from sacking Souness when we went in and offered compensation to take him as NUFC manager. Blackburn couldn't believe how lucky they were to get compensation when they thought they were going to have to pay up his contract when they sacked him!!

Yeah, baffling one that, thought he'd spend whole career here. Just thrown away and so hard to replace a player like that. He's a tedious WUM just like so many others.

Rotten luck, kills me to this day thinking 'what if' we'd at least won that one, Bobby got more time, we'd have beaten Blackburn at home next game, pressure would be gone and so on. Probably would have still gone to shit just a year later if Bobby stayed til following summer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Geordie Posted March 18, 2021 Share Posted March 18, 2021 I think it was said that SBR was bemused as to how some of the younger players went on - and it showed. They needed a good fucking slap at the time - perhaps that's why they wanted Souness. God knows. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wolfcastle Posted March 18, 2021 Share Posted March 18, 2021 I do remember him banging on about wingers being a thing of the past here. Just as Chelsea won the league in both seasons with Duff and Robben. Those Dougie contributions are new for me, or had at least forgot them. We started slow under Sir Bobby in the previous two seasons, 1 win in 5 and no wins in 6. Finished 3rd and 5th. I thought it was because Sir Bobby was retiring at the end of that season and that sort of thing never works out, think Strachan did it a few years earlier and Southampton's form tanked and they ended up having to sack him. Figuring Sir Bobby was leaving anyway so bringing it forward was easier than selling and replacing players. Apparently though it was just good old fashioned footballl based f*ckwittery.
