Lenny Posted October 20, 2021 Share Posted October 20, 2021 Hung out to dry or not, there was still more than enough at his disposal that a half respectable manager would have gotten significantly more from. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SUPERTOON Posted October 20, 2021 Share Posted October 20, 2021 The way the press are going on about the abuse and criticism he got is laughable. The bloke got away with murder and remember had no fans in the stadium for a season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted October 20, 2021 Share Posted October 20, 2021 I would happily be abused on social media and hung out to dry for £8 million like. Best job in the world. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There were no fans in the ground for most of it and the bloke is proud of the fact he can't use a computer so fuck knows what he's on about. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Collage Posted October 20, 2021 Share Posted October 20, 2021 Seems to me he’s been doing the job half-arsed, relying on ”experience” like a true PFM. No desire or hunger to know or learn. All about the money. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lazarus Posted October 20, 2021 Share Posted October 20, 2021 As I said earlier in the thread, he should have left in the summer. He MUST have known it was never gonna get any better than 12th. His reputation would have been saved if he spun his exit correctly too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lenny Posted October 20, 2021 Share Posted October 20, 2021 He was lucky his tenure was spent for the majority without fans in attendance, otherwise it would have been far worse for him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fucking brass balls on this motherfucker. He didn't just willingly accept the job, he contacted the club and asked for it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There have been 3 managers in my lifetime who I was horrified when they were appointed ( not counting Carver, he was obviously just a fill in) and they were Souness Pardew Bruce All three were clear and obvious morons and should never have been considered.

TheGuv Posted October 20, 2021 Share Posted October 20, 2021 John Carver 20 3 4 13 15.00% Osvaldo Ardiles 47 10 18 19 21.28% Joe Kinnear 18 4 8 6 22.22% Steve McClaren 31 7 6 18 22.58% Kevin Keegan 21 6 6 9 28.57% Steve Bruce 97 28 28 41 28.87% Richard Dinnis 40 12 10 18 30.00% A list of our worst performing managers. You could argue Carver and Kinnear (Interim) don't count and KK was in his second spell and things were beginning to turn around. Plus those 3 managers only had around 20 games. Bruce had nearly 100 games! 100! Does he go down as the worst manager of all time? Or would you still say McCLaren? I found it interesting to see that Ardilles comfortably has the worst win% of a full time manager at NUFC. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SUPERTOON Posted October 20, 2021 Share Posted October 20, 2021 Based on nothing, I don’t think a new manager is close, I think they are hoping or giving Jones a chance to see if he can do enough to get us through to the summer Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
