Cronky Posted May 14, 2007 Share Posted May 14, 2007 A club of our resources getting a manager of Allardyce's stature isn't cause for congratulations. It's what we should be expecting. I'd like to know why he failed to land him or a manager of similar ability on two previous occasions, and we ended up with Souness and Roeder. Let's face it. Freddie's got no other options now.

Unfortunately, Man City will be correctly saying exactly the same thing, but I don't suppose you are capable of saying well done for beating them to him - hopefully. Even though the georgraphical aspect could yet change his mind. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even though the georgraphical aspect could yet change his mind. Beating Man City to a manager's signature is an achievement, is it? Well, they have won domestic trophies since we did, the league title, FA Cup and League Cup Final, all 3, but that is when we had a shite board and were inferior to them, and they also had a good one, with a good manager. [obviously] I don't expect you to understand who is responsible for the higher standards you have now, rather than those that existed in previous times though, nor understand that Man City are in fact, one of the biggest fanbase clubs in the country themselves into the bargain.

macbeth Posted May 14, 2007 Share Posted May 14, 2007 On paper a better appointment than Souness and Roeder But making the guy third best paid manager in England does seem a bit daft. Especially as Sam is sure to say he has come here to win things, so surely would have come for far less. Pay him £2m a year with £5m per trophy in bounses. Would pay for itself easily.

La Parka Posted May 14, 2007 Share Posted May 14, 2007 1: Getting rid of GR at the right time - 2: Get 'The Head' in ASAP - 3: Giving him ample funds for a much needed rebuild - 4: Allowing SA to bring whoever and as many backroom staff to strengthen the club - If he gets all 4 right, then yep, well done Freddy, but ATM he's only completed No1 on that list, the rest remain to be seen although now it looks like No2 is a cert. Just got to hope this all comes true like. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NUFC06 Posted May 15, 2007 Share Posted May 15, 2007 1.He didnt give money to Roeder in January 2.He sacked Roeder in the perfect time 3.He bring the right man into the club 4.He appointed the right man in the perfect time 5.He supports the new manager 100%???We will have to wait to see about that.I hope Shepherd will stand behind him 100% and give him full control over the club and also to give him solid transfer kitty for the summer.

Martin Lol Posted May 15, 2007 Share Posted May 15, 2007 Remembering Newcastle's recent history and what people said about him, a FFS appreciation thread could be very short! Give him credit though. Think he's appointed the best manager for you at the present time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leazes1986 Posted May 15, 2007 Share Posted May 15, 2007 I'll give him some credit for appointing the right man at exactly the right time for the first time in his reign here. It doesn't make up for all the mistakes he has made what has seen countless of millions of the fans money chucked down the drain though. This appointment doesn't all of a sudden make up for the wrong managerial appointments, rash decisions, selling players behind managers backs, and putting the clubs name through the dirt. All i will say is good decision for a change. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

A bit of a no-brainer appointment but a good appointment none the less. Well done Mr Shepherd. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
