Souness is new Newcastle boss
-
Surprise candidate for Newcastle United.
Every one is gunning for Boring Veneables or Stone Shearer.
Souness come out of no where.
If he is play the game well,
Newcastle is for his taking.
But, he have to make every players happy with him first. -
It's quite shocking but it was probably a move too good to refuse for Souness.
Blackburn were going no where.
And with the cash from Woodgate's sale,there will be a ready pool of funds to spend at St James Park.
However, Newcastle better hope Souness does not emulate the other KOP great Dalglish,who also moved from managing Liverpool and Blackburn to Newcastle.
Fyi,Dalglish flopped at Newcastle.
My first post.Test. -
Kinda doubt he can lead Newcastle to success -
Huh ??
Really ??? I still can't believe it !
From nowhere he was appointed , no speculations or things like that !
Football is a funny game , Graeme Souness goes everywhere King Kenny been through !! -
He's going to regret the move !
'Cos everyone of us believe , eventually A.Shearer will take over this hot seat in this few years to come , so , Souness wouldn't be there for long ! In Rovers , he's almost untouchable ! -
shock move, didnt c tat coming...

i think this is a bad appointment. the board could have done so much more in getting a better manager. hitzfield would be better. cuper is also available. but it's all too late i guess.
heard that souness is the guy who destroyed pool in the early 90s. is that right? he's never managed a successful side, except for rangers (and scottish league only consists of 2 teams basically). imo, this is a mistake. but it could be a way to get rid of primadonnas eg. dyer, bramble, robert etc. hopefully it turns out well. -
So it takes Souness to lure u out huh!? How hv u been Val?!
It's a surprise appt...but I think u shd give him a chance. He has certainly improved as a manager since his days at Anfield. My only worry his tempament - brace yourself for some clashes of him with the hard-headed players at the Toons - Shearers included. -
its a mistake.
the best bet in my opinion would be david o leary.
Souness will create dressing room unhappiness with his style of management.
Soon u will see players like kluivert, bellamy, dyer, robert, KPKB.
But anyway, newcastle does posses a squad of trouble makers in my opinion.
esp the orgy king dyer.. -
I believed many of the Newcastle fans are just as bewildered as Neutral fans when it was announced that G. Souness is appoointed as manager.
Newcastle does has a pool of exciting talents of old guards and youngsters and their attcking football has been exciting at times but not defensively strong. Perhaps Souness will address that issue right away and with his defensive background in his palying days while with The Kop... the back should tighten up.
But what's with Newcastle's decision to bring him in? Surely, they could have choose a more established manager who can bring them to Europe and archieve great success in EPL. It's a decision that look hastliy made.

Souness?
Newcastle is DOOMED... -
With the new appointment of the Newcastle United Manager,
I am glad to announce that Liverpool have one less opponent for the coveted 4th placing of EPL.
Hope the new manager can carry on his good tradition of thrashing the club that he took after.
I guess it will take a long time for Shearer to recover for whatever damages that will be caused. -

I'm afraid they took a few steps down than up. It's frustrating to see how Blackburn played under his stewardship. They hv good players in Barry Ferguson, Tugay, Emerton and Gresko but tactically quite naive at times. -
i'm afraid for the worst. call me pessimist if you would, but to me, souness is nothing but a has been. ok he did win trophies with pool when he was a player. hell.. even ruud gullit was european player of the year. that doesnt guarantee any success being a manager now does it. i've won trophies for badminton. can i coach? no! i can teach people how to play, but i myself have to admit that i cant coach a badminton player, nvm a team.
in fact, i think some of the best managers are only so-so players during their playing days. check out fergie, mourinho. i dont think wenger played soccer professionally since he was a professor. i dont know what fat fred (the chairman) is thinking. but obviously he's a shallow minded guy. i know bruce was protected by the brum board and o'leary by villans. but c'mon. the club doesnt need a person who can be brought over easily. what next? howard wilkinson as asst manager? apparently fat fred only looks for the easy way out. there are good managers that are available out there. i think i'd even take venables over souness.
anyway i'd expect dyer to be on his way out, along with other moaners eg. robert. may be we'll have a training bust-up or two plus a couple of player roasting in front of the public/press. damn, the season's gonna be an interesting one. -

the way he battled his diseases and still kept going on. or the way he describes mourinho & gazza & other people who worked with him before. no word of hatred. you are never forgotten. a true gentleman of the game despite not being the best tactician of all.
