Baz Posted May 11, 2016 Share Posted May 11, 2016 Mike Ashley is nowhere near as bad an owner as venkys 100% correct. Anyone wanting to put the amount Ashley has spent on NUFC in past 5 years, would be a hero at most PL clubs. His major failure as far as I can see, is he isn't a geordie.

The arch proponent of the money ball system and wouldn't know a decent player if he tripped over him. Is he really claiming credit for signing Suarez? Nothing to do with Dalglish then? Elsewhere fantastic achievement by Big Sam in keeping Sunderland up. If you want someone to get you out of a relegation scrap there's absolutely no-one better. Equally however if you have ambitions beyond mere survival and want to enjoy watching your football there's probably better options out there as Bilic has shown. At Everton Martinez is surely a dead man walking. In many ways his team are the polar opposite's to Sam's, easy on the eye and a joy to watch going forward at times but lacking backbone and his teams have never been able to defend either at Wigan or at Everton except when he first took over from Moyes and they still had some good defensive habits.

I'd argue that in the last few weeks Sunderland have been much better to watch than Everton. The hoofball myth doesn't hold up when your main striker is 5 ft 8. Last night they were passing the ball around with very few long balls out from the back. Kaboul very nearly scored after running the length of the pitch.

Brilliant decision to appoint Allardyce and the entire club responded. Not sure why so many thought he'd take them down. They might want to start watching football to understand a tad more.

Backroom DE. Posted May 12, 2016 Author Backroom Share Posted May 12, 2016 You would have been hard pressed to find anybody saying Sunderland could stay up after they lost five on the bounce in December. At that point I remember thinking (and possibly saying, can't be bothered to trawl back through the thread) that January was a crucial month and Sam needed to be given some money to strengthen that team or they were going down. Sam was backed, spent well and those signings combined with Allardyce's experience ultimately kept Sunderland up. If Newcastle had given McClaren the boot and appointed Benitez straight after he'd been sacked by Madrid, it would have made things very interesting. They backed their manager with money in January, but it was still the wrong manager. By the time they changed it was too late. Rafa did a decent job in the circumstances but I expect he'll be off now that they've gone down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JC4LAB Posted May 12, 2016 Share Posted May 12, 2016 If Stone goes Everton may be another Newcastle next season. The season is over...Sundays final day will be the most boring ever. No BBC Coverage and so Match of the Days soon to be exposed high earning pundits were no where in sight last night.... They should have been there.doing what we pay them to do...ie some work.

47er Posted May 12, 2016 Share Posted May 12, 2016 Thought Newcastle played some pretty attractive football coming forward but defensively they were poor. Sam would have sorted that out. Same goes for Norwich but they couldn't capitalise on the chances they made and they could not defend either. That Bassong! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was incredibly predictable but when we parted ways there was only likely to be one of the parties enjoying Premier League football for years to come. Still aggravates me to think of the dimwits that celebrated his removal on here. Grab him for us..and with .Dave Whelan as well.....If only if only Whelan was in his heyday ..Fond of Rovers you know Can't organise a defence to save his life. God knows what Hanley and Duffy would be like with him in charge. I'd take Warnock over him any day in our current situation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still aggravates me to think of the dimwits that celebrated his removal on here. I didn't celebrate his sacking but with normal owners i think we could have got a manager to take us on, similar to what Hughes and Souness did. There is no arguing that Big Sam's side were hard on the eye towards the end of his reign here. However, our lunatic owners made the decision look suicide, but we all know what was going on behind the scenes. I would say that Newcastle and West Ham fans have similar feelings towards Big Sam that some of us had towards the end. Right now we would be in dreamland if he managed here though.

McClarky Posted May 12, 2016 Share Posted May 12, 2016 Not surprised Martinez got sacked. Everton were terrible last ngiht, particularly in defence. They looked like they were going to concede every time Sunderland came forward and basically gifted them the game. pathetic display really.
