The Chronicle Article The 'insider' sounds like some bloke in the pub to me. Maybe, but the Chronicle usually have the inside line on Newcastle. Biggest load of B*llox article Ive read in a while - clearly written to massage the overly inflated ego of the barcode fans. Having family up in the NE I'...

they're stupid then, frankly. we went round in circles with that debate and i believe winning games mattered most. he did say in his afternoon interview somert about not being able to beat man utd by passing it. smacks of souness when he got sacked after continually blaming results on injuries I ag...

According to the Evening Chronicle, Allardyce was sacked because despite Ashley, Mort, The Fans AND the players wanting to play a more attractive brand of football, Allardyce would not change, and kept talking about "winning ugly". Apparently they'd had enough. Had little to do with new signings oth...

Disappointed he’s been linked with a job already – The Rep of Ireland one. Any thoughts on where he’ll end up? People will look on it one of two ways. 1 – caught up in politics, bearing in mind Ashley is “one of the army” and did not appoint Sam. Or 2 – can’t handle money and big name players. Pers...

Perhaps this does show that Allardyce wasn't solely responsible for the success at Bolton and that the people behind the scenes scouts, coaches even old Garty had some involvement as well. This season for us has really been a continuation of the last 4 or 5 months of Allardyces reign we haven't yet...

Re: Rednapp to Toon?
Harry fav for the job. Surely he can't leave Pompey for them? I hope he does, probably my least favourite manager after Souness, so be delighted to see him screw up his chance with a "big" club like FSA. Can't see it myself, but then again I don't believe they've sacked Allardyce all of a sudden fo...

Sam has shown at Newcastle that his one dimensional approach to football and lack of flexability in his tactical thinking just doesn't work. It did for a while at Bolton but as soon as the other teams cottoned on as to how to play against such tactics, and even copied it in some instances, his appr...

The Championship ......Tight
I've just noticed how tight the championship is.
24 teams seperated by 23 points. The bottom club Preston are only 15 points off the play-off places.
I wonder if its ever been this tight before?

I'm not on either. Agree with the poster above, whats the point? If someone is driving that badly they should be reported straight to the police. A lot of the "reports" on there are in my opinion subjective and in some cases it could well be the reportee who was the bad driver, especially if their i...

Didn't Wenger do the Double in his first full season? There may be a comparison there with Benitez (who, despite joining this discussion, I don't despise) winning Big Cup. The thing is that in the fallow years following Arsenal's 1998 double there were definite signs of improvement, in the first te...

Its fine sticking with a manager as long as they're the right one. Indeed, and you'll never quite know for sure. If not winning a league in 4 years is the way that these things are decided, then can we expect Wenger to be getting his P45 should Arsenal not do the business this season? Of course not...

We've seen him squirm and enjoyed it, but surely now its time to leave it? Allardyce won't last long term at Newcastle. His football never would win the Geordies over UNLESS it was accompanied by instant success. Now he will always have to live with the fact that his best work was at Bolton. For me ...

he'd have been sacked by now had he not fluked that first champs league Quite possibly true, but then Liverpool are generally much more patient with their managers than just about every other club. It's no secret that those clubs who stick with their managers and give them time generally perform be...

Didn't he sped in excess of 20 million? If that's the case he deserves this sacking no doubt Aye but if you listen to a lot of Bolton fans they wanted us to be signing the players Fulham did. Healy, Kamara, Murphy. Glad we didn't. Shows that managers should listen to what fans say, then do the oppo...
