Consortium of one Posted October 12, 2022 Share Posted October 12, 2022 I hated Bruce from the moment he was announced. He was one of Ashley's sick jokes. A shameless piece of flaming dogshit. For a while Pardew had some sympathy from me but but then he went full on snake. My hate for him is borne of the fact that he was a hypocritical scuzzball. Carver was totally miscast and a victim of the times. Should have never been allowed near the first team, let alone manage it. I loved Joe Kinnear. Shit manager and I was sad to find out about his mental illness but by god he made me laugh. He was Ashley's coup de grace of a middle finger to the supporters. I despise Allardyce for the arrogant scumbag that he is. McLaren was so totally over his head that I still don't think he ever recovered from his time here. Shearer and Keegan were blips on the radar while I've followed the team. However I genuinely celebrated Keegan's win over Ashley. Chris Hughton is a genuine gentleman. Although I still think with good backing he would have had success I was quietly happy he was let go before Ashley stained hi soul. Rafa was a godsend and outshone the emotional blackhole that was Mike Ashley. I will always remember his professionalism as we all stared into the abyss. Howe is marvelous. He's meticulous, passionate and a great man manager. Hope he's here for a long time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolfcastle Posted October 12, 2022 Share Posted October 12, 2022 (edited) Its interesting that with the exception of McClaren everyone at the lower end is, for lack of a better term, a c*nt. Shearer/Dalglish/Gullit are hard to like and dislike. Whilst the favoured managers have class and are definitely not c*nts To show its not success based I'd put Jim Smith (though he terrified me when he was here) and Ossie in fondness. Bruce would be my most hated. There's an, albeit sociopathic based, grain of likability about Souness that puts him just ahead of Bruce and Allardyce at least knew what he was doing - his goal was to play abysmal football whereas with Bruce and Souness it was an accident. Keegan on a different level to anybody else. Everything good we have now and have had can be traced back to him coming back.

To be fair thats just made me realise or re-realise that before and after him I didn't care about winning or losing, even looked at a relegation as a way to get rid of Ashley so wasn't a concern. Apart from takeover rumours Rafa was the only link I had for those 3years, part of it was hope but part was wanting him to succeed for his loyalty and for his detractors. So adore might be right here too. Edited October 12, 2022 by Wolfcastle Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hated it but dont hate him as a human being, unlike Bruce. Atleast Dalglish brought us Kelly Cates. Even as I sat there watching us fade away, passing the ball sideways for 89minutes before trying for the last minute and knowing we had to get rid of him asap and awaiting his cryptic haiku post match interview - I still didn't dislike him. Still dont. Wonder if his riddling enigmatic interviews are the reason why, doesn't give away much of a true personality. Have also since seen some of his football and he was an absolutely beautiful player. Just did a such an horrific job here that sabotage would be a compliment.

HaydnNUFC Posted October 13, 2022 Share Posted October 13, 2022 (edited) Could add my own personal TOO YOUNG category for this template which will have almost all of the fuckers in but I will try and muster some thoughts/feelings about them. HATE Bruce Pardew Souness Allardyce DISLIKE/DISGUST Gullit Carver McClaren APATHY Shearer Dalglish FONDNESS Roeder Hughton ADORE Keegan Robson Benitez Howe Keegan and Robson are easy to explain as to why they're in the category they are. Looking back I absolutely loved Benitez, hung off his every word, watched every press conference, loved the job he did here and was absolutely devastated when he left which was the primary reason I chucked my ST. Because of that it's hard to not put him in adore but in the hopefully incredibly unlikely scenario that we're looking for someone to succeed Howe I wouldn't want him back in any capacity. Didn't when we'd just drawn 1-1 at home to Watford and had 1 win after 20 games last season, wouldn't in future. Howe is perfect for us, I remember clamouring for him when Bruce was still stinking the place out pre takeover and was very happy with him post takeover. His philosophy, work ethic and how he conducts himself in front of the cameras is everything I want in a Newcastle United manager. I hated Bruce with every fibre of my body, most hated manager of ours for me. Complete antithesis of Howe in every regard, belittled the club and consistently patronised the fans. Hopefully he's absolutely finished in management so I don't have to hear or read his name again. I didn't despise Pardew as much as I do now or as many on here do at the time, but I do now and strongly resent the revisionism of him becuase of that 1 season. It went so much more deeper than the football on the park: he's the reason I think Ashley set in stone the modus operandi of the club as one who never strove for success, deliberately went out of the cups and avoided Europe because the extra games 'may increase the risk of relegation'. That's his legacy and it still hasn't worn off on this fanbase. I hate Souness because of how he talks about us now, still endlessly bitter at doing a shit job to the point where he belittles us. We're 'not a proper club' yet 'there's more pressure up there than anywhere else'. Fuck off man, you took a team that finished 5th to 14th whilst falling out with and getting rid of some of our best players. Granted you didn't want Owen and wanted Anelka, but look at the results; 5th to 14th, danger of being in a relegation battle when he was sacked, capitulation at Lisbon, the Cardiff semi final performance, ugh. Allardyce was a fat mess who played shite football but never pretended to be otherwise. Should never be at clubs like us and Everton, should be at basket cases like the mackems, Bolton and Palace. Hence the respective fan reaction to him. Gullit was terrible with how he handled the senior players and it turned ever so toxic behind the scenes at the start of 99-00 but he knew when it was time to leave. Carver was just embarrassing and incompetent but simply should never have been given the rest of 2014-15. The decision to give him the interim job almost sent us down which is astounding given where we were in the league when he was given it. McClaren was an uninspiring, wet flannel but again should never have been given the job in the first place. Another Charnley masterstroke. Shearer was just a desperate roll of the dice that didn't work. I posted a couple pages back but Dalglish is an odd one to me. Surely at the time it was the most logical appointment to make; only manager besides Ferguson to have won the PL, worked with Shearer and Batty at Blackburn, his success at Liverpool as a manager and the romantics about succeeding Keegan in some form again? When he had Keegan's side, we only lost 2 league games under him from when he took over in January '97 until the end of the season and had some great wins at home, thrashed a lot of teams including the memorable wins against Leicester and Forest. Probably as mentioned prior in this thread he just didn't have the money? Ginola asked to leave in March '97 like plus a lot of Keegan's team were aging but those replacements, fuck me. But I never see him as a fraud or owt. Roeder took us on a hell of a run and was a great tonic post Souness in 2005-06 but again should probably have not been given the job. Great person however who dispelled that 'Geordies hate cockneys' myth and is really missed. Will always admire Chris Hughton for what he did here, we looked absolutely fucked in pre season 2009 but he won us the Championship at a canter. Had great days under him and should never have been sacked when he was. Edited October 13, 2022 by HaydnNUFC Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
