Lots of good suggestions one the board so I wont bother to start listing up the same names everyone else does except one: Hoddle. If this guy is hired I'm seriously considering killing myself (or him) and suspect I will have a hard time following the club from the Afterlife. On the other hand I get the feeling we could be up for "newcastle-twist" - ie. we'll hire a new manager next monday that hasn't been mentioned on this board or been listed by the bookies. I hope this doesn't happen since I would love for some of the suggestions on this thread to get the job. As long as it's not Hoddle (or Semb!) I will get behind the new manager with every molecule in my body. P.s.: I remember not being very happy the day Souness was appointed but did he prove me wrong? Good luck to you, Mr. Souness (but not to Newcastle!)!

Been checking out some NUFC-messageboards and the geordies don't seem happy. Still haven't found 1 positive post about Souness' takeover. I for one am not complaining as my patience with mr. Souness tactical abilities has worn thin lately, and will welcome our new overlord whoever he might be......hopefully someone who'll recognise that a left winger should be played on the left, that a right back should play right back, that you actually need cover in all positions and not just bolster one position by selling and draining another. Wonder what our new signings are thinking right now - especially Bothroyd and MGP? And even more importantly - will he take Dean Saunders with him? Please do!! If not - next manager - Dean Saunders

Nah - Berg did not get the national record. He's only nr. 2 on that list. Can't remember the name of the guy who is nr.1 - perhaps someone else from Norway can? On Gamst'n: Several of you guys wrote that you hoped he would have an off game as there were scouts from other clubs on the stands last night. Well....you got what you hoped for! IF Gamst is being bought he will be a good player but he will not perform in every game in his first season. Bazza didn't either and almost everyone here thinks he is the clubs best/most valued player (including me). I for one put my trust in Souness

I feel the need to point out one thing concerning Gamst: he doesn't like playing 4-4-2. He prefer to play left winger in a 4-3-3 system or that wacky new system the norwegian national team uses. Last year he had a pretty poor season in Tromsoe while they were playing 4-4-2 . He also strikes me as a player who isn't particulary obsessed with money and seems happy at Tromsoe, but then again I might just be naive? I think these things rather than money will be what ultimatly decides a possible move. Here's hoping Souey and whoever is up there can convince him that he will be played as a winger in the Rovers-shirt and that the club will do whatever possible to make him feel at home.
