Guest Spark Posted April 11, 2007 Share Posted April 11, 2007 According to the Times. http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/sport/football/premiership/newcastle/article1642705.ece Just speculation really but what are people's thoughts? Would you have him here? Surely he would do better than Roeder? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Decky Posted April 11, 2007 Share Posted April 11, 2007 Would be a good move to have a class manager again, the difference is he would cost us a fortune, might be worth it though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BottledDog Posted April 11, 2007 Share Posted April 11, 2007 According to some people it is far from speculation. Would be as much an expensive mistake as Owen has been so far for me though. Ah, well, fingers crossed if true. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
M4 Posted April 11, 2007 Share Posted April 11, 2007 I really don't know tbh... His final months as the England manager really made him fall a long way in my estimation. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

OzzieMandias Posted April 11, 2007 Share Posted April 11, 2007 Interesting. More worrying is that the story suggests Alan Pardew is another contender. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest smoggeordie Posted April 11, 2007 Share Posted April 11, 2007 This wont happen till September 1st at the earliest. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raconteur Posted April 11, 2007 Share Posted April 11, 2007 This wont happen till September 1st at the earliest. Not saying you're wrong, but what are you basing that on? The transfer window and Shepherd's history of early season sackings? Wouldn't it be great if we could break that mould! As for the article - speculation without based on any quotes. We'll see...

Mowen Posted April 11, 2007 Share Posted April 11, 2007 Interesting. More worrying is that the story suggests Alan Pardew is another contender. Good manager in my opinion. Certainly a lot better than Roeder - enough of an improvement to merit a change I'd say. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest smoggeordie Posted April 11, 2007 Share Posted April 11, 2007 The Times are normally reliable. Fingers crossed. Eriksson is a top drawer club manager. You don't lose your club managing talent in a few shit years at international level. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't lose your club managing talent in a few shit years at international level. I've got mixed feelings about this one, to be honest. He’s not as bad as some of the England fans and the media think. But I don't like his style of football and some of his decisions as England manager were a bit strange. Not to forget the publicity he attracts off the pitch and his wages. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superior Acuña Posted April 12, 2007 Share Posted April 12, 2007 I dunno. I only know about his England time, and i was never impressed. Bad reports from the players, and never seemed to get the best out of them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest DazzaNufc1892 Posted April 12, 2007 Share Posted April 12, 2007 for me, a fantastic move. For a long time now we have been saying we havent had a proven manager, well now we could. At club level he has won things where ever he has been, ans has also built up good strong squads e.g. lazio. At england he was jus a pawn ina much bigger game being played by David Davies and the other bunch. Plus, owen would probably stay knowing he is guaranteed to play every game even if inured. My only worry is, sven loved heskey, would shola stay? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skirge Posted April 12, 2007 Share Posted April 12, 2007 I don't want him anywhere near the club, we say Roeder does not imspire the players, does anyone think Sven is an inspirational manager? His substitutions are always like for like, even when the game is screaming out for a tactical change. Not to mention the fact that we have enough bad press and embaessment from our players, last thing we need is a manager like that too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shearer9 Posted April 12, 2007 Share Posted April 12, 2007 His tactical ineptidue reminds me a lot of Roeder. People say Newcastle is like England in many ways, and one of those is the pressure that the fans and local media put on the team and manager. I still think he'd want to do things like play favorites and not pick players based on form. Didn't he also need a lot of cash in order to guarantee club success in Italy?

chicago_shearer Posted April 12, 2007 Share Posted April 12, 2007 The Times are normally reliable. When I clicked on this thread I was expecting TEAMTalk or some such nonsense. The fact that it's the Times is very worrying. Sven would be a massive gamble. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
OzzieMandias Posted April 12, 2007 Share Posted April 12, 2007 He didn't have loads of cash when he won the UEFA Cup with Göteborg. Or when he got Benfica to the finals of both the UEFA and the (then) European Cup. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkie Posted April 12, 2007 Share Posted April 12, 2007 I'd definitely take Sven. There's no denying that his managerial record at club level is superb. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
juniatmoko Posted April 12, 2007 Share Posted April 12, 2007 before managing england he was the one of highly rated manager in the world. I don't know why after manage england his form was not as great as before. It might be because FA paid so much money on him then he become one of the england celebrity.

I don't know why after manage england his form was not as great as before. It might be because FA paid so much money on him then he become one of the england celebrity. As England manager he only lost four competitive games – the Northern Ireland qualifer and the three quarter-final defeats (two on penalties). It's not a bad record, really.

Guest Invicta_Toon Posted April 12, 2007 Share Posted April 12, 2007 Surely he would do better than Roeder? so do we get to judge Sven after just 18 months too? What will be the criteria for success then? 9th? This club needs more than a poxy manager change, a third one in 3 years at that Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
