Beardsley, Tino being sold, Why the twat then added absolute shite including his son to the ranks. Some of the worst Nufc signings in history, think he only got Speed and Given right. Had we kept our stars and added possibly one maybe two real quality signings we could have gone on to win something with the side Keegan was building. Nobby as well, but agreed. It was obvious straight away that even one of the better replacements that season, Ketsbaia, wasn't going to cut it for a team supposedly attempting a title challenge.

Kid Icarus Posted February 29 Share Posted February 29 I feel like from a fan point of view, Hull City at home was a big sliding doors moment for a lot of people involved in SackPardew/Ashley Out and their perception of our fanbase as a whole.

The Dalglish era was so fucking weird, like. Keegan gone, so let's bring in a title winning giant of a football manager/man in football. Proceeds to just blow the whole thing up in his first fucking window. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had we kept our stars and added possibly one maybe two real quality signings we could have gone on to win something with the side Keegan had built. Hamman, Solano? Even Barnes was good for a season. Not to mention he brought the academy back. Among NUFC managers I rank him comfortably in the middle( maybe sixth?). Going off wiki, he sold for more than he bought so maybe the cash was starting to dry up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolfcastle Posted February 29 Share Posted February 29 (edited) What!? We went from challenging for the title to being on the brink of a relegation battle the following Easter. Barnsley was a must win and we only did so with a dodgy late goal. And we played the most boring football along the way with players being told off for going over the halfway line. Based on what he did for us he's easily one of the worst. But unlike Souness at least had achievements elsewhere but the drop of under Sourness was nowhere near as bad as Dalglish. Keegan made a profit in 1995 and improved us. Dalglish spent a lot of money mostly terribly whatever he brought in.

Ferdinand was getting on and starting to get a few injuries as well, only just scraped double figures twice after he left us. Getting our money back would have been cracking business if we'd replaced him better. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tomasson, Andersson and Guivarch combined cost well more than we got for Ferdinand and for us they were all atrocious. Des Hamilton cost the same as we got for Ginola. Pistone a ton more the Beresford and Elliott were sold for combined. That's all on the manager not the PLC Edited February 29 by Wolfcastle Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
toon25 Posted February 29 Share Posted February 29 Part of me wants to say that summer when we only brought Lee fucking Bowyer on a free, but the absolute idiocy to sack Bobby and replace him with that wanker Souness, who was on the verge of being binned by Blackburn was probably very significant. I also can't forget that last day of the January transfer window when Ashley sold Carroll. That was devastating for me. My heart fucking sank.

Sacking Robson so late was a bigger problem, making it harder to appoint a successor. Robson should’ve been walked in May. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Poor Des Hamilton mind, poor sod just wasn’t good enough and you could visibly see the confidence drain from him match by match. One of the most pitiful sights I ever saw in the flesh was seeing Hamilton through on goal away to Derby on Boxing Day 1997, only to trip over his own feet before he could take a shot.

I thought the club was in financial trouble and that Les and Ginola were sold by the club, Dalglish had little to do with it? No one in their right mind replace David Ginola with Temuri Ketsbaia. Of course he later signed Nobby. Edit: Make no mistake, Dalglish destroyed a classic team. Just thought his hands were tied, just a little bit.

Sibierski Posted February 29 Share Posted February 29 Bramble own goal against Southampton. Maybe we then win that game, and go into final game against Liverpool knowing a win secures UCL football. Still big if needed, but getting UCL football again might have been what keeps us up there and keeps Liverpool down below, as Rafa may not have went there, they don’t win UCL as not in it, and Gerrard leaves. Bobby may have been more willing to walk on a high, and we could’ve got Rafa. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bobby may have been more willing to walk on a high, and we could’ve got Rafa. There’s no chance of Shepherd appointing Rafa or Rafa coming here over Liverpool - in response to your last paragraph. If anything failing to reach the CL would’ve just strengthened their resolve to get him (he had initial talks in April iirc). I know you touch on this but even if we’d beaten Southampton nothing less than a win at Anfield would’ve done. I just can’t see it. And why single out the OG? There was nearly an hour of football left. The bigger moment is Shearer’s penalty miss against Wolves a few days before that which unquestionably cost us 2 points and for various reasons meant Bobby was a sacked man in waiting.

He got a bad injury in his first season in the spring iirc which correlated with our form going bad. I still remember when we won 1-3 at Highbury right before Christmas that season to end the London curse and top of the league. I stared at the updated league table on our Ceefax for at least half an hour. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
