SIR BOBBY HITS OUT AT SOUNESS"Having taken a verbal bashing from Graeme Souness for apparently leaving the new manager with a "poor squad" of players, Sir Bobby Robson insists the side he built was good enough for the top six.""Robson, who also suggested Souness had made a major blunder in getting rid of Craig Bellamy, went on to question the wisdom of the club's decision to enter the Intertoto Cup.SIR BOBBY ROBSON: "I've got to say I'm as shocked as any Newcastle fan. Back in August, I thought it was the best squad we'd had in my five years at the club and that included the one that finished third in the Premiership and reached the second-stage of the Champions League."Even now, when I look at the playing staff, I think its worthy of being in the top six. After all, the team had finished third, fourth and fifth in the previous seasons."I'm aware that when a former manager comments on his old club, people will think there is a hidden agenda, but there isn't. I still care about Newcastle as much as when I was manager and I don't see anything wrong in me talking about them if my opinions are constructive."Newcastle began the season dreaming of the Champions League. Now they are considering the Intertoto Cup. I wonder if it would not be better to concentrate fully on pre-season and getting it right in our domestic competitions." "Hentet fra Talkofthetyne.com
Forstår Sir Bobby godt her. Souness har forsøkt å gi Sir Bobby skylden for hvordan det har gått denne sesongen. Da har Sir Bobby all mulig rett til å forsvare seg. Og jeg synes også at han gjør det på en meget god måte. Det er et meget godt svar fra den aldrende mannen.
For Souness har faktisk forsterket stallen, selv om han har prestert å kvitte seg med et par gode spillere, selv om de to det gjelder først og fremst har seg selv å takke.
