Big Sam Leaves Newcastle

[Longy]

note to Sheff Utd ....this is a big chance to get a top manager in instead of someone that has made a living as a manager on the fact he was England captain for years.

Quite the next club who get Allardyce as their manager should consider themselves lucky. He is a good manager and performed near miracles during his time at Bolton.

Most the posts on this thread are WAY off the mark. Stupid fans this, get what they deserve that. You're basising your opinions on weeks of absolute shite written in London based papers.

Yes there are people who want Shearer and seem to think the sun shines out of his arse but in terms of backing from actual fans Sam probably had a larger % backing than Rafa at Liverpool.

He has not been sacked on the back off a fans campain to oust him. Not at all. There was unrest against Portsmouth, and chants of you don't know what your doing against Liverpool (again very small percentage and mainly in relation to crazy subs during the game). Since then there has been a renewed effort to united and get behind the manager and the team. I wasn't at Stoke but you could see on the tele that again at least 70% were still there appaulding the manager off.

Who knows whats next. Its never simple, but I'd never change it. Newcastle united will never be defeated.

my thoughts are directed at the guy in charge not the fans, he seems more interested in being seen as a 'fans' man than a Chariman

agreed

sitting in the freezing cold in a Newcastle shirt two sizes too small for him and sitting amongst the fans...ugh, might appeal to the Newcastle fans but doesn't create much of a professional impression

You'd earn a lot of money right now if you knew the answer to that. Simply the owner must have someone like up, most probably that certain someone. On the day the new regime came in they made it pretty clear he wasn't their appointment, but that shouldn't have been a factor.

So many questions like why now? A week into a month long transfer window doesn't make any sense at all.

If I wasn't a Newcastle fan I'd probably be:

We will be back.

I was at stamford bridge a couple of weeks ago when we lost near the end to a terrible decsion by the linesman,nothing but support the team,no dissent towards the manager.I really think the press had a lot to do with the "sacking" stirring at every oppurtunity.

It will happen to Benitez soon too


(there, get the Liverpool lads on the thread..they think Benitez will be there til he retires!, I think he'll be gone by the end of the season at the latest)

Mike Ashley is not the Chairman. He has no direct involvement with the running of the club. LOL. Well thats the party line!

[Triple X]

We all know Mike Ashley is after the Spurs job - just needs to sort out a deal with his his mates on the Spurs boardand find a buyer for Newcastle.  He almost had one in the summer and with Enic a willing seller at the right price i am sure a deal will be done.

I actually think Newcastle have done the right thing.  Big Sam is not a good manager and its a shocking indictment of our managers that him and Maclaren have failed so miserably.  They are both inept with no idea for flair, pace, skill and tactics.  Sam especially is a throwback to the Howard Wilkinson way and he isnt clever enough to adapt.

I like Newcastle and want to see them do well - they now need to find a good foreign coach (maybe working with Shearer who can add some englishness to the management team) and stick with him.  Hindsight is a wonderful thing but i promise i was telling everyone preseason that Sven would do a good job at City.  face it guys English managers are shocking and tactically inept and there is no evidence of this changing.  I would take a top quality foreign coach every day of the week over any of the mediocre English guys out there.

Ashley's the money....of course he runs it!

Wow thought there was a lot of hate for newcastle on here but i just visited the f365 forum and its gone insane,although the choice of ant and dec as the new joint managers did make me laugh.

Who cares what nationality the coach or players are as long as they are good etc..?

I can envisage Jol with Shearer as his assistant.
