Who exactly do you want to get in, you'll find many managers are already in employment, those that are the ones deemed good enough are probably premierleague managers that won't leave their clubs, ones who could be tempted away are at lower league clubs who might be doing okay but might also suck in the premiership.
Likewise, I'm trying to think exactly whose been brought in under Ashley, Coloccini(who might be good) Basson who seems highly liked, Gutierez, the injured guy whose name I can't remember and have never seen so no idea if he's good or not. TO be fair theres nothing to say you can play better football with a better manager. With Ameobi and Carroll needing to be played due to injuries you're going to struggle upfront. IN midfield you've brought in Nolan who is decent but again he's got a weakened strikeforce to play up to.
But your first post, and second is all around having a go at a guy whose come in paid off massive debt, got injuries to deal with has bought some very decent quality players. Again I'll ask, who should he have got in. Who else should he have spent limited funds on, was the Milner for Gutierez deal not a fantastic deal generating money for the club out of a pretty lame player.
The team is not good enough and he couldn't afford to replace every last player, nor can he magically make owen fit. Frankly the games I've seen with Owen and Martins fit you look a pretty decent side. You're going to be much worse playing the likes of Ameobi.
We're going to get relegated basically because we don't have a manager.
Haven't you been playing relatively poorly with no consistancy all season, under Keegan and Kinnear? Isn't there a man making the managerial decisions effectively doing the job. LIkewise didn't you score, and could have been in the lead against us(Arsenal) at the weekend and didn't we only score our 2nd against 10 men, and the 3rd with Taylor and Bassong off and the first with Bassong out also. Up to that point you were by no means fantastic defensively but you were certainly creating chances upfront. On another day without Bassong/Taylor injuries you could have easily won that game with the same setup that Houghton came up with.
It reads to me like fans looking for any reason to bash Ashley. Anyway, who should Ashley get in as manager then, if its the key to keeping Newcastle up who would save Newcastle?
It seems to me the previous regime got lots of paycheck players who won't leave till their contract is done, who are no where near good enough and make buying new players impossible as they have to keep wages to a managable amount. I fail to see where the blame is there, nor in his failure to persaude a great manager to come in and manage a bunch of names who are past it. I honestly don't even know, is Viduka still there? viduka, smith, barton, all ludicrous buys and if I took over the club I would fire Alladyce with saddling the club with that lot of crap right there, even apart from the fact he's a crap manager.
haha
