Så den. Trist at Souness ikke klarte det i Newcastle. Han har vært god på overgangsmarkedet i hvert fall.

Det skal jeg ikke motsi deg på G-O

Souness - Sportssjef. Delaktig i transfers...

Allardyce - Manager. Innehar taktisk sans...

Hadde ikkje vore så dumt, men blir nok ikkje ein realitet...

[DanMan]

Ja, hvorfor ikke Souness som sportssjef? Lite trolig, men..

Håper Lee Clark får en trenerjobb i klubben den dagen han gir seg.

Og Shearer som assistent-manager!  

*Drømme*

[Tor Ingar]

vi skal IKKE ha souness som sportssjef. tanken er jo helt syk. mannen må vekk, selv om det vil koste litt. dette souness marerittet må snart være over.

[plebbster]

Souness gjør gode spillerkjøp. Det kan du vel ikke si noe imot?

Vi trenger en slik mann til å få unna de spillerne vi skal ha til klubben.

Noen av kjøpene kan i høyeste grad diskuteres, og tar man med disposisjoner og vurderinger av de han har kjøpt eller hadde og har beholdt, er det enda mer rom for diskusjon. Og det kan vel nesten ikke utelukkes?
Dette i tillegg til at en manager vil velge sine egne spillere åpner for en veldig liten rolle for Souness i klubben, som blir å betrakte som en unødvendig utgiftspost. Slik jeg ser det er det svært få grunner til å slå ring om Souness, og tviholde på ham. Han er en bestemt og spesiell men stolt mann Souness og jeg tror fort han kan komme på kant med en eventuell ny manager. Vi blir ikke et topplag igjen før vi er under ledelse av en annen manager, det er det på tide og innse. Jeg mener også at å da beholde Souness bare på grunn av noen gode kjøp IKKE er grunn nok. Særlig da man ser de negative sidene ved saken også!

[plebbster]

Selvfølgelig kan kjøp diskuteres, men vi skal være glad for å ha fått en slik mann til klubben som fikser spillere som Michael Owen. Hvis vi får en slik klassespiller hver gang transfervinduet er oppe, har vi lite å bekymre oss for på transfer-siden.

[MortenM]

Er ikkje Lee Clark inne i trenerteamet no? Assistenten til ein trenar, eller noko sånt?

[Kristoffer]

Assisterende reservelagstrener kan han kalles ja.

[Tor Ingar]

han skal ikke på kloden være sportssjef. om han gjør noen gode kjøp er det greit, men tanken på alt annet han kan finne på er uendelig lang. han har gjort noen gode kjøp, men med 50mill kunne mange andre BEDRE managere gjort det enda bedre.

Please nevn ALDRI dette med souness som sportsjef lenger.

[Tor Ingar]

Ok...så hva skjer nå???
at souness erstattes av allardyce er ikke helt usannsynlig. de siste uttalelsene til skotten er tydligvis et siste desperat forsøk på å holde seg til roret. linken om meite kan jo også være en liten link om allardyce. alle vet jo at Bolton har siklet på han en stund. Bowyer skal vi jo bli kvitt, og big sam vil sikkert heller jobbe med danny murphy enn med den tidligere leeds psykopaten.

vil seier mot mansfield bety noe for souness fremtid?  neppe eller aldri.
tap mot fulham derimot betyr noe helt annet. i mellomtiden har nok allardyce tenkt lenge nok så da gjenstår det å se..3mill pund for å sparke souness er verdt hver øre eller pence som det heter.

[Asbjørn]

Souness med et skikkelig angrep på Alan Oliver. Det ser heller ikke ut som Souness får sparken med det første, etter møtet med Shepherd igår.


Souness said:

"It's not helpful. It's not helpful when local newspapers give my players two out of ten and come out with nonsense like they should never wear the black and white shirt again. They're critical of the players themselves and that hurts them. It's critical of the football club, the chairman who backed whatever player was brought in for x amount and it puts enormous pressure on the players.

"Players are always the most important people at a football club and they continually get caned, in my opinion, most unfairly.

"The person who has written that (about Carr) has got another agenda. He wants to make as much mischief for me as possible. I accept that and bring it on.

"If that individual thinks the relationship I have with him, being asked to do it every day, to help him do his job, is so, when it suits him, he can stick it so far up my backside it comes out of the top of my head.

My principle is that you help me, I help you. If you don't help me, why should I help you?

"That story was so far off the mark but it led to great mischief for me. Stephen Carr and I haven't had a bust-up. We've spoken but a bust-up suggests we were about to fight with each other and that has never happened."

"I can assure the fans that, when a game starts, I am for that 90 minutes, the biggest fan Newcastle has. I feel tremendous responsibility and have always tried to do whatever job to the best of my abilities. It's how I approach this one. I am the man in possession of this seat right now and I will give everything I've got to be successful. We'll leave no stone unturned to try and bring success to this club.

"The chants aren't helpful. I've been in the business a very long time and I don't think anyone can say or write anything about me that hasn't already been said. We do it because we love football and want to do it. I still love football, going to games, watching the boys training and matchdays.

"As long as I feel that, I'll always do it. It's not helpful but I'm only interested in the players on the pitch and how it will affect them. I've got broad shoulders and always manage to live with what has been said before.

"I bet I'm the only manager in the Premier League who's not had a single player knock on my door on a Friday and say: 'Why am I not in the team?' Nobody's done anything wrong here. If I could go back six months, I'd still sign the same players, the ones who have left, bar two, I wanted them out of the door. Training maybe we should have moved to the academy sooner but we've done that now. There's not too much I would change here.

"Lady luck has decided it's not for us at this moment in time. It's not the time your head blows off your shoulders but it's time for everyone to stick together and what can you do but work harder?

"As you know, I don't read a lot of newspapers. I understand certain individuals have gone down the road that my days are numbered.

"My attitude to it is just keep working away. When I got this job, you don't get any job really unless they've got lots of problems. I inherited a very difficult situation, a very difficult dressing room and I sorted the dressing room out and got rid of some dodgy characters.

"We have a very strong dressing room now. Most of the players who left, we wanted to leave. One or two, we would much preferred to have stayed but they made it plain they wanted to leave so, unfortunately, they did.

"We brought in some very good players but unfortunately this injury situation has killed us. I'm not hiding behind the injuries as some fool has written, the facts are we have been decimated by injuries.

"Two things happen when you can't put your strongest team onto the pitch. A - you can't play the kind of football you want to play and B - you won't get the same results.

"I'm here, I'll remain here until somebody else tells me differently. I think we have a group of players very much together at this moment in time. I can reassure the fans we're working as hard as we possibly can to win as many games as we can.

"Right now, we find ourselves in a difficult situation, eight of our top men are missing. There's not a club in the country who could withstand that sort of damage to our squad - not Chelsea, not Arsenal, not Manchester United.

"I spoke to him (Shepherd) yesterday,. From my point of view, it's fine. We had a meeting and spoke about the possibility of new players and things we would like to do on that front.

"That was the general theme of the chat we had.

"I think that (the pressure) is the price on the ticket of the manager of Newcastle United.

Certain aspects of the job are extremely difficult, more difficult than at any other football club.

Circumstances here which prevail don't prevail at any other football club.

I won't go into detail on that but it makes managing Newcastle very difficult.

"I think we have, right now, some of our very best players at this club not playing. If you look at Arsenal, the general consensus if Arsenal are not the same team as one player isn't there any more. We're missing seven and eight, five and six, and what does that do to our team? It's not going to be the team we thought we were going to be with those people missing."

[Tor Ingar]

jeg sier bare stå på alan oliver...dette klarer du bra. til slutt så er det resultatene som vil felle souness...uansett om souness sier i never quit what ever happens.

Synes dette vitner om Souness slik vi kjenner han: En vinnertype som gir alt. Om det er nok er vel flertallet her sikre på at dte ikke er, men likevel..

Sammenligningen med Arsenal uten Vieira, og tidvis uten Henry, er meget god. De har overhodet ikke spilt slik de gjorde med begge disse på banen.

Forøvrig, disse one or two, som han helst hadde ønsket ble i klubben, er det Jenas og Ambrose det er snakk om?
