Taylor Swift Posted May 15, 2007 Share Posted May 15, 2007 I'm excited for next season already. Let's hope the backroom staff start arriving pretty soon (say next week), and then he can start working on videos and stuff of the team in the past season to assess the strengths and weaknesses of each player. And of course set up the training program for next preseason so when the players return, everything will actually be ready and good to go. I'm delighted about the timing of this, it'll give him some proper time to bed himself into the city, the surroundings and also give him time to make deliberate plans on how he's going to improve the different aspects of the club.

Cajun Posted May 15, 2007 Share Posted May 15, 2007 This thread is really funny, 99% of posters optimistic and really believe we can achieve something under Big Sam then NM ruins it will with his typical doom and gloom Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Knightrider Posted May 15, 2007 Share Posted May 15, 2007 LOve how he said he's going to get to work on the structure of the club first and then work onb staff and then work on signings/squad, top to bottom, best way to work. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
George Bailey Posted May 15, 2007 Share Posted May 15, 2007 Very Impressive... Lets hope this is not another false dawn, and that a steady rate of progress is made. Top 8 next season, maybe outside chance of European spot, then kick on to top 6/5 place with solid defence and no fooking injury nightmares...bye bye Kieron Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed, building a team on solid foundations rather than the sand and rubble since 1992! Why has nobody thought of this before? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slugsy Posted May 15, 2007 Share Posted May 15, 2007 I'm genuinely buzzzing about NUFC for the first time in years. Maybe I'm niave but that press conference has bouyed my spirits, said exactly what I hoped he would say. Bring it on! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robster Posted May 15, 2007 Share Posted May 15, 2007 He had the same black/silver/white tie that he had on when he did the champions league the other week just after Roeder went. Knew it was a sign !! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Knightrider Posted May 15, 2007 Share Posted May 15, 2007 Unlike with Souness and Roeder who could talk a good game at times, Big Sam has the evidence to back up his talk and furthermore, the board obviously want these things which I never thought they did under those two. Also Souness and Roeder didn't really discuss the structre, Roeder touched on it once or twice but not in any great detail or with any great conviction, they always emphasised money and signing players, discipline and playing for the shirt. Hell, SA didn't even talk a great deal about money in his PC, mostly about structure. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I liked the idea that it sounded like FFS hadnt held back on giving Sam just what he wanted in terms of his preparation, training, science, player stats, etc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jong24 Posted May 15, 2007 Share Posted May 15, 2007 he looks like Goofy http://C Droopy tbh, but I don't care who he looks like as long as he sorts us out. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Guinness Posted May 15, 2007 Share Posted May 15, 2007 I'm really impressed with what he had to say during the press conference. It's good to see he wants to address the injury problems asap and what he had to say about organising the team and the structure of the club was refreshing to hear. He seems to have a very clear idea of what he wants to achieve, I can't wait for him to start working his magic! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest tobiazvanderziaz Posted May 15, 2007 Share Posted May 15, 2007 Im positive in the long term. He needs time because so many things are wrong in Newcastle but if we keep supporting him even if we dont win anything the next season (which I dont think we will do) I predict it will be a succes with Big Sam as manager for Newcastle!

eaststar Posted May 15, 2007 Share Posted May 15, 2007 I've been saying in the past I would rather another manager such as Hitzfeld or Ramos over Big Sam. However now he's has been appointed I must say I am satisfied with this decision. Congratulations Sam Allardyce. We are behind you, bring back the glory days and howay!

SUPERTOON Posted May 15, 2007 Share Posted May 15, 2007 I cant wait to see who he signs and who his new back room staff are. Plus he has already had a holiday so doesnt need one and can get straight to work. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cajun Posted May 15, 2007 Share Posted May 15, 2007 I know Hitzfield, Ramos etc.. are all exciting prospects but no matter how good they are I reckon Allardyce would be a lot less of a gamble. They would probably adapt their styles to work in the Premiership but there is always the chance they wouldn't. At least we know Allardyce has proved he can manage a club and probably overachieve with them in this league. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toon_Crazy Posted May 15, 2007 Share Posted May 15, 2007 He looked very well in the press conference! Just ordered my new jersey with Allardyce 1 printed on the back! Delighted. See you pre season big fella! I'll be flying over from Dublin to all the home games! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Brewcastle Posted May 15, 2007 Share Posted May 15, 2007 I understands Allardyce' answers about the England Team, that he's only focusing at the club-team so far he's not offered the job as England Coach: http://www.nufc.premiumtv.co.uk/page/NewsDetail/0,,10278~1025467,00.html It would have been typical if the contract with NUFC let him leave for free if he's offered the England-job.

Cronky Posted May 15, 2007 Share Posted May 15, 2007 He came across very well in the press conference. He was very articulate, confident and seemed to know exactly what he wanted to do. In short, a real leader. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lemmy Posted May 15, 2007 Share Posted May 15, 2007 Well chuffed. The best we could have got at this moment in time imo. That's what makes it a good appointment for me, I think this was a realistic appointment in terms of who we could hope to get in charge and it seems that his press conference has already exceeded everyones expectations. Really excited for next season now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
