Just testing the water of people's opinion of Sorness (just in case he got the job).

I rate him, but i hate him.

Hated him ever since he slagged our style of play etc

BUT I think he is the man for the job.

I tend to agree, as a man he is a c?nt, but he might be the sort of fellow who can get us out of the tailspin that we currently find ourselves in. I would rather him than Coleman or Megson.

Never heard of him.

I hate the man with a passion but I love the club more, he is the man for the job.

who the hell is sorness???

wrong man

 

utter c0ck

the problem with most fans is they let their heart rule their head.

 

souness would do as good a job as anyone else available imo.

Well he's changed in the last few years if thats the case!

This isnt a fans perspective!

I agree, I am guilty of this (if guilty is the word). I think he's a horrible man. Horwich has created a good thread though, imo.

Career proof he isn't the best man for us.

I also, note the bit about his inconsistency re: transfer dealings. Do we need another (alledged) crook?

The most successful we've been is when we've had strong managers like Bruce Rioch & Big Sam, we need some one who will strike the fear of god into some of these primadonnas and for that reason i think Souness will be the man. Fingers crossed he will turn us around. I would prefere him than Smegson or Dowie.

Me too.

nice expensive suits , talks a great game, will kick people in training, buys bad defenders by the bucketload.

Didn't he once buy someone without even watching them, just because someone said he was good?

 

(I'm going to have to look this one up)

ali dia

yep - someone told him it was Geaorge Weah's cousin , put him on the bench without ever watching him, put him on as sub then re-substiuted him 15 minutes later never to be seen again.

flop

 

This guy has to be one ofthe biggest transfer flops ever but do you know any bigger -

 

Ali Dia -Southampton

 

 

Ali Dia is a former Senegalese footballer who once played for English FA Premier League club Southampton, after falsely claiming to be a Senegalese international.

Having already had a failed trial at Rotherham United, Dia was signed by Southampton manager Graeme Souness in 1996, after Souness received a phone call purporting to be from Liberian international and former FIFA World Player of the Year George Weah. "Weah" told Souness that Dia was his cousin, had played for Paris Saint-Germain and had played 13 times for his country. In actual fact, none of this was true, and the phone call was from Dia's agent. However, Souness was convinced, and signed Dia on a one-month contract.

Dia played just one game for Southampton, against Leeds United on November 21, 1996. He came on for Matthew Le Tissier who was substituted after 32 minutes but his performance was spectacularly below Premier League quality; many would say that Dia was the worst player to ever play for Southampton. He himself suffered a substitution after playing for 53 minutes. Leeds won the match 2-0.

Dia was released by Southampton two weeks into his contract. He briefly played for non-league Gateshead F.C., before fading into obscurity. He has achieved a notorious status amongst English football fans for his lack of ability, and is regularly featured in lists of bad players or bad transfers.

Marco Boogers , look him up - West Ham , couple of million I think , sent off on debut vs Man Utd , never played again + ended up living in a caravan

Well the good thing about him coming to our place is that he won't be given any money so he won't be able to buy s***

Now don't get me started about Con Boutsianos! Did I ever tell you the story about............................... ::::::::::

Anybody but Souness !

hated him ever since he was incharge at blackburn, when they scored two goals in the last mins to make it 2-2 and he ran up near the corner flag to the away fans - first class tosser

We'd lose Super Kevin Davies no question if we signed Souey. He can't handle the temperamental types like the Dioufs, Anelka's & Campo's of the footballing world. Thankfully it looks like he's turned
