Meanwhile, back in the Prem., loonypool seem hell bent on out doing the barcodes in how to run a once great club into the ground, after yesterdays revelations that tom hiccups had asked jurgen klinsmann to become gaffer at anfield, in some of todays press, it seems rafa may take legal action against his employers. Whilst back in true La-La land, and apparently shearer, & keegan have said they're interested in THE job, but not as a duo, you can't make this up, 1 washed out has-been who's never won a thing in management trying to re-live glories? past, & 1 untried, cardboard cut-out of a human being, with as much personality as a wet week-end in whitleeeeey bayyyyy, want to take on the most unforgiving job in the world, give it to mary poppins I say.
In a previous post, 1Step, I noticed you said you felt sorry for the toon army, but, don't you think they've been a MAJOR factor in the constant management merry-go-round at st.james, since king kev left only booby robson has chalked up over 100 league games, between them, souness, roeder, & allardyce were given just 184 matches to try & make something, pretty much out of nothing, & during those matches how many times has the cry, "you don't know what you're doing" rung out from the terraces, how can anybody expect to succeed under such circumstances, especially when expectation far outweighs reality, of the 4 lge. titles the club have won, 3 were claimed before WW1, & of the 6 FA Cups they've won, the last was over 50 years ago! the last 2 managers to take them to Cup finals, Dalglish, & Gullit, who both , by the way, had the misfortune to come up against probably 2 of the greatest club sides this country has ever seen, Arse '97/'98, & UNITED '98/'99, were both victims to a greater or lesser extent of the toon army's bile, 1 thing the toon should do, is realise they haven't a cat in hells chance of competing with, arse, chelski, loonypool, or UNITED in the near future, accept any good cup runs that come their way, & above all, give whatever poor sod who takes that job a fair crack of the whip before telling him & the whole world he couldn't manage a piss up in a brewery!
