abcdefg Posted July 17, 2007 Share Posted July 17, 2007 http://football.guardian.co.uk/News_Story/0,,2128135,00.html What is known is that the Boumsong deal was so odd that it was commented upon by every observer and plenty of Newcastle fans at the time. No shit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Brazilianbob Posted July 17, 2007 Share Posted July 17, 2007 Now we know why "you know who" was in hospital. He knew this was coming and that he would probably go down for a long stretch. He has had his ar*e stiched up so he won't be accosted in the showers! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tsunami Posted July 17, 2007 Share Posted July 17, 2007 SBR didn't think he was good enough on a free. Now do we know that for sure, or was it more a case of us already having Woodgate he felt he didn't need him. Also, the year before he went to Rangers, Houllier tried taking him to Liverpool for around £6m. You can't have too many good players especially if they're free. SBR didn't rate him. Rangers sign Boumsong for nowt He was a Bosman...same with Ballack, Ben Haim, Geremi... So sign him up - we had the chance Souness becomes our manager And first thing he realises is the sh*t we've been left in in terms of defenders by the time he came in. So he signs Boumsong? We spend 8M on Boumsong shortly afterwards Highly-rated at the time, would have had 4-5 years left on his contract, and as already mentioned, Liverpool nearly spent £6m on him when he only had a year left to run on his contract. Far, far too much money. Highly rated in Scotland, taken apart against Yeading. Boumsong is crap At least there's something we can agree on. And for those that say Souness was rated a Top Boss, the truth was that he was on the verge of getting the sack at Blackburn. This all may have nothing to do with the current goings on but are people really defending Boumsong & Souness? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
OzzieMandias Posted July 17, 2007 Share Posted July 17, 2007 Also from the Guardian story: Ashley instigated a "strategic review" on acquiring the club and it is being led by the new deputy chairman, Christopher Mort. It is understood that some of what is being unearthed is displeasing Ashley, though whether that relates to historic transfers is unknown. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Rushian Posted July 17, 2007 Share Posted July 17, 2007 Now do we know that for sure, or was it more a case of us already having Woodgate he felt he didn't need him. Also, the year before he went to Rangers, Houllier tried taking him to Liverpool for around £6m. We'd actually agreed to sign him on a Bosman prior to the January window (having been given permission for early talks by Roux at Auxerre) agreeing the terms and length of contract. Then in a strange twist he and his agent suddenly announced he was signing for Rangers . Houllier was absolutely furious and accused Boumsong and McKay of being deceitful.

Northern Monkey Posted July 17, 2007 Share Posted July 17, 2007 Anyone who thought Shepherd would be hanging sround for long is a mug. This can only hasten the pace of our distancing ourselves from him. Whether or not he or anyone else has done anything wrong, no-one wants police raids and inferences of corruption diretoed at their business. And thats what this is - Ashley's business, his club. Shepherd isn't in charge of the manager, or the review, or anything else as far as anyone knows. And i very much doubt Ashley got where he is today by keeping people like Shpeherd around for long.

Guest Gemmill Posted July 17, 2007 Share Posted July 17, 2007 He was on his way anyway, Vic. And if there are allegations of corruption surrounding the previous regime, all the more reason to hasten his departure. That's what NM was saying and it makes perfect sense. I'm guessing you spotted that though, and just decided to try and disagree anyway, you bore. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
