Graeme Souness

who wished we had appointed this tit? i dont really like him but he would of bossed the team in the wright way.

oh i know lets give campo(mr liabltiy) the arm band after he storms off in the last game!! what kind of message does that send out.

 

people on here was saying they wont watch us under souness, but how many fans is that useless ginger gary neville driving away

Souness would've been more likely to cause fractions in the dressing room and his tactics would've been no more attacking than megsons

 

so no

i'd have souness over megson without a shadow of a doubt..

 

 

 

i honestly believe we have the team/squad to survive if we had someone with the ability to manage them..

I would have kept Sammy Lee for a while longer, we had started to turn it around!!

I would have preferred ANY of the candidates to Megson.

and if we were bottom with souness you would have preferred megson...

Well, that depends whether he felt AT THE TIME that Megson was a bad call.

 

I almost certainly would've taken Souness over Megson. I was baffled by the Megson appointment, utterly baffled.

 

But I can't remember my stance on Souness, to be quite honest. I'm just sure I'd rather us appoint him, than Megson.

My hands stayin' down methinks. If there's anyone bad for the dressing room, that Jock is your man.

I would have agreed for the Krankies to be Manager and Assistant Manager before Megson!

No i would have preferred any of the candidates to Megson, which is why i said that.

:rofl:

for fucks sake !!

 

i would rather have aids than souness.

Megson was no better or no worse than the other candidates around at the time. It all boils down to the timing.

 

 

For that we have to blame Gartside.

 

He should have taken his time over the summer and used our UEFA Cup qualification and 4th consecutive season in the top 8 to tempt better quality managers to show interest in our club.

If after that recruitment drive he still felt obliged to Sammy Lee, then he is an even bigger fool. In rushing to appoint Lee he set the ball rolling for this season of suffering.

didnt want souness,didnt want megson - dont know who i wanted. Hindsight i believe souness would have managed the players already here a lot better than that knobhead has..........

I wanted Coleman but only in preference to the crap that was being touted. Megson was a complete shock to me (as it must have been to most).

Spot on. The Lee appointment is the root of all our trouble. It smacked of a panic move, which was needless given the timing. In fact it was stupid, given the timing. It was a 'f?ck you' to Allardyce in my opinion, as was the public slagging off of him, and changing the style of play etc.

 

A complete and utter balls up.

I don't think it smacked of a panic move. It smacked of going for the cheapest option and hoping it came right.

to me it was following a plan 3 years too soon, no more no less.

 

no cheap option just what system the club had set up for when sam left, however he left earlier than planned and rather than searching for a new manager Gartside decided to promote Lee too soon

I've been totally against the appointment of Smegson from day 1, i hate the ginger tw4t he's not good enough, FACT. Unfortunately the writing was on the wall as soon as he was appointed, i sent an e-mail to Fatside stating that i didn't just moan about it on here (i never got a reply) and i got a bit of a slagging on here for it.

We've been at our best when we've had a strong manager, Big Sam and Bruce Rioch who controlled the dressing room and players. The board need to take full responsibility for their actions but as we know they won't and we will be left watching fizzy pop football

I remember giving you stick at the time.

 

I still think you were wrong in not wanting to give Megson a chance.

 

But hands up, now I've seen us under him - you were right that he's not up to task

i did and still want souness as manager

 

if for no other reason then his stepson would get me in free every week

:good:

Hmmm

 

hindsight, the only way to invest.

Did the same, also no response, although unlike you I had actually warmed to Megson, sadly that warmth has now completely disapated.

You mean like Charlie Wright or Ian Wright? Orville Wright?

 

Just askin'

Cheers Jules :good: but i do wish i'd been wrong all along and i was e-mailing Fatside with an apology
