Tango Posted September 6, 2004 Share Posted September 6, 2004 It's probably just Jan, Jim Mk2 and rover6 placing huge bets out of desparation in the hope Newcastle will take note of the odds... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

philipl Posted September 6, 2004 Share Posted September 6, 2004 (edited) By a process of elimination, he is just about the only credible candidate left-see my post on the Bobby Robson thread! Cannot see any reference to Souness and the Newcastle job anywhere at the moment. However, Strachan seems to have been intervieweed as has the ex-Bayern boss.

Scotty Posted September 6, 2004 Share Posted September 6, 2004 Just looked on Betfair and Souness is back down to odds-on favourite again. Someone must know something as there has been very little in the media linking Souness to the job. Anyway, I've layed it so he'll be off within the hour! Can't say I'd be sorry.

philipl Posted September 6, 2004 Share Posted September 6, 2004 The way the betting moved this morning there must be substance to this story but there is still noothing on t'internet. Anyway, assuming he has gone, let me say a big THANK YOU to Graeme Souness. Without doubt the second most successful manager since the Rovers had managers (as opposed to secretary picking the team). He did the really hard bit, getting us promoted then drove us on to Cup success and two Euro qualifications. Timing of the departure is about right as well. We'll probably be getting decent compensation unlike when Newcastle stole Gordon Lee from us. Now Newcastle can get used to not getting penalties and having referee decisions go against them.

AndyC Posted September 6, 2004 Share Posted September 6, 2004 before any of you anti souness people start rejoicing - who the hell are we goign to replace him with?
