There ARE other teams(we'd have no-one to play otherwise) and here's where all-comers can discuss the wider world of football......

Rednapp to Toon?

Post by fatshaft » Thu Jan 10, 2008 10:15 am

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 for no reason.

He was doing a press conference at 2.30pm talking about targets and who isn't for sale, no sign of it, then by 5.30pm he's a gonner.

I think they must have someone lined up, and the NE press were reporting a comment from Mort saying sommat along the lines of they're after a British manager, they know who it is and they have to go through the right channels to approach him. Which suggests its someone at another club who is British.

I suspect it'd be Mark Hughes, from the pretty limited range there is.

Meanwhile, Rednapp ?? He'd last just about as long as BFSA did.

I hope Redknapp goes to the Toon and gets shown up for the used car salesman he is.

For my mind it would be 2 for the price of 1 - 2 reputations ruined(Redknapp and 'The Greatest Fans in The World'), both of whom are Tabloid heroes, both don't deserve to be.

The truth will out!

In theory ... ex-England Manager, won a cup, been to European Trophy final.

In practice ... I'd need oxygen and fresh underwear, I'd be laughing that much.

I'm with HRG. Can't be easy to keep tempting players to that half-full sh!t-hole (and yes I know we're fine ones to talk...) and he'll have half an eye on the next move (to another, regularly full sh!t-hole in Salford)

SSN reporting Redknapp to visit St James (DSB?) Park today. Official approach expected to be made later.

It'll be the last job he ever needs - something like 4 times what he's being currently paid, he'll be averagely mediocre for 2 years and they'll pay off the 2nd half of his contract, or £10m as it's otherwise known.

Set up for life if he succeeds, or if he fails. No brainer.

To be a successful manager at Newcastle, you need to:

1. Arrive and become an instant success

2. Play entertaining, all out attacking football

3. Win a cup within six months

4. Claim that Newcastle supporters are the very best in the world, every week! Especially that fat bloke without his top off and tits out!

5. Qualify for the champions league between getting out of his car on the first day, and reaching his office.


So, unless Newcastle's next manager is 'Bruce Rioja', they are going to be in for another shitty season. Because unless it is a fictional character, they are back that square with a number one on it. You know, the one Liverpool and Newcastle and West Ham fans share yearly.
