S-Clarke Posted 13 July, 2009 Share Posted 13 July, 2009 this is NO joke, I have just come back from the car auction, and on the way past SMS, i saw 2 large cherry picker type vehicles, not sure what they were doing, but anyway, the other person I saw walking with this other chap in a suit was none other than Bobby Robson. I was certain it was him!!! He doesn't manage anymore, so sad tbh. Saw a recent article in one of the papers, he's unrecognizable these days, confined to a wheel chair now i believe -but he still came across as the bobby we all loved! Newcastle's decline started when they sacked him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrisobee Posted 13 July, 2009 Share Posted 13 July, 2009 I am so sad to hear that. I didn't know. He's been very ill for a long time. Think it's only his positive nature and determination keeping him going as he now has lung cancer. http://www.sirbobbyrobsonfoundation.org.uk/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulSaint Posted 13 July, 2009 Share Posted 13 July, 2009 I think, at 33-1, Dennis Wise is a good bet. The more i think about it the more likely it seems Wouldnt be great, but with a decent DoF could be pretty successful... How about Keegan as DOF over Wise ?

Pat from Poole Posted 13 July, 2009 Share Posted 13 July, 2009 Could they work together? Keegan picked Wise for England in Euro 2000, if memory serves. Think I saw him play against the Germans in Charleroi and possibly also Romania. I too think Wise is an extraordinarily good bet at 33-1. Oldknow wants somebody who knows League 1, Wise knows it very well through his experience at Leeds (not sure if Millwall were in this League or CCC when he was there).

A Nut Can Cut You Posted 14 July, 2009 Share Posted 14 July, 2009 When did we last defeat a league 1 or league 2 or lower league club? The statistics show that we've lost 100% of our matches against third tier clubs in the last two seasons, which clearly means we will be relegated with our -10 points intact. Might as well appoint Tony Adams in that case, he'll get it done with a cherry on top. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SaintJackoInHurworth Posted 14 July, 2009 Share Posted 14 July, 2009 There is one name that I am suprised has not been mentioned in relation to the Saints job... ..and that's Joe Jordan! I know Skate haters won't like the idea, but consider the facts: Harry Redknapp has been pretty rubbish as a manager in a number of jobs - especially with Saints, but also when he was West ham manager (he had one of the most talented young squads in the country with Beckham, Ferdinand, Carrick, Lampard, etc. and yet they were struggling against relegation until he left). However, when he left us to go back to P*mpey, he suddenly became in the eyes of the media one of the greatest English managers around. So, why? Was it due to Tony Adams? Many people thought that his influence must have been significant, until he was given the chance to show what he could do as a Premier League manager and flopped hopelessly. That points to just one person - the brains behind Redknapp's more recent success has IMO been none other than Joe Jordan. And of course, Joe played for Saints for a few seasons. So, how about it? Joe Jordan for manager anyone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What was WGS at one point, 1/5 I think which rather proves your point in that shortening him to those odds was a good as closing the book at least on him but still allowing punters to back others. I doubt even at 1/5 they'd take any bet over 5k though I'm clearly guessing. Nobody else is even offering odds! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And David Beckham (WTF?) and Joe Jordan were nothing to do with him at West Ham. If you want "pretty rubbish" why not look at Joe Jordan's managerial career?

ChrisPY Posted 15 July, 2009 Share Posted 15 July, 2009 Just a rumour, but apparently Darren Fergusen has had a request to speak to us accepted after we enquired (with a decent sum of money) about his availability. Speaking to us today or tomorrow if the story is to be believed. Not sure on the reliability though as I haven't had any ITK Saints news off this person before. The fact he's just signed a 4 year contract would make me hesitate in believing this however the pay off we've initially offered (not accepted yet by Posh) is a considerable ammount which could be close to paying off that contract.
