Thespence Posted January 10, 2008 Share Posted January 10, 2008 Im not being funny but you'd have to have a pretty limited knowledge of football to have your "socks blown off" by the likes of Hughes and Redknapp offering there serives to us,team which are witin 8 points of us. I must have missed something. Has it been confirmed that the "SOCKS BLOWN OFF" person was either Hughes or Redknapp. No but the same person who made the "socks blown off claim" follows up the story with a "Its 50/50 between Hughes and Redknapp" 1+1=3 Not quite. Whoever was getting banded about by an agent earlier on the week, to who the club may be after can be completely different things & news storiers. Please note unlike NE5 I have not got the will power, time or can be arsed to explain this over 25+ posts & then deal with the 75 or so sub topics that will be generated.

Or I could stop replying to him Aww come on, is what im saying not viable in your eyes then? That either Olivers story is complete codshit or that Hughes/Redknapp are the ones that "would blow his socks off" LAST GO!!! Because Chris Mort will not be making this appointment, so what makes him happy or blows his socks is irrelevant really. When it comes to footballing matters I belive Mike Ashley is more influenced by his long term pal Paul Kemsley, who has also said more about Sam being mutually dumped than Sam or the club. As some people will know (hopefully the spurs fans will back me up) Kemsley when he was Vice Chairman at Spurs wanted Harry at Spurs for a long time but could not convince Levy to make this appointment. This is also why anyone betting on Jol is a idiot because Kemsley wanted Jol out of Spurs with a passion. When Bill Kenwright wanted to confirm that Moyes was not a Newcastle target he spoke to Mike Ashley & not Chris Mort & Mike confirmed that Moyes would not be approached. When it comes to the big moves it Ashley that is in charge & running the gig. To summarise: Somebody being touted to Mort may well blow his socks off but that may not be the person who Ashley wants.

Fair enough, i understnd what you're syaing but i think i disagree with it to be honest, i just cant see Morts opinion being irrelevant, the only viable thing that springs to mind, is that Ashley has been a long admirer of Redknapp never thought it was possible to get him but then Redknapp offered his service which Mort never thought was ever gonna be possilbe, hence "blowing his socks off" and the rest is history. Still dont understand why he would have Ashley or Morts number in the first place though! As for the Bill kenright thing, i think that was coincidence becuae Ashley was sat next to Phil Green, with whom Bill was talking to. It sounded like an off the cuff conversation to me.

Has it been confirmed that the "SOCKS BLOWN OFF" person was either Hughes or Redknapp. No but the same person who made the "socks blown off claim" follows up the story with a "Its 50/50 between Hughes and Redknapp" 1+1=... aye, and "anyone but Fred" would appoint superior managers to Redknapp Unless of course, Mort and Ashley have their "socks blown off" by the thought of Redknapp being manager of Newcastle. Like it or not, if he is appointed manager of NUFC, then it is their choice. I don't suppose it will register with you, that you may have to re-think your "opinion" of Mort and Ashley if this happens. So much for the bright new dawn, cups galore that the last board brought to an end, blah blah. If they appoint Redknapp, they are appointing him because he's the manager they want. And it means the manager they want, is a manager who will give us half decent team on the cheap. Which is what they want, because it is probably what he will deliver. In that event, I wait for people shouting and screaming for quality trophy players a few years down the line, when real mediocrity and frustration, the likes of which you don't really understand, kicks in.
