Ashley's short-term gamble 5:28pm on 26 Sep 2008 ah just thought of one......venables at 'boro. D'oh!
Ashley's short-term gamble 5:26pm on 26 Sep 2008 Well call me fickle but I really thought we could have done better than this chap. I understand perfectly that wimbledon fans had some awesome memories under him but his fate in life was to manage that certain club. It was a match made in heaven. Anywhere else has been very poor by his WFC standards.

Having said that, can anyone think of a manager that has been externally employed to manage a premiership side for a few games? To be fair there's not much to choose from at "Catering Managers 'R Us".
Ashley's short-term gamble 4:50pm on 26 Sep 2008 We're talking about a premiership team here, not ebbsfleet. We're miles apart (excluding recent performances!).

I'd like to see a young wipper-snapper in charge of the club. Someone in the mould of David Moyes when he left Preston. Maybe John Collins? Martinez? It's something we haven't tried since Keegan's first stint. Although the Ossie Ardiles reign of terror might quash that theory. Either way I think it's the only option left. No doubt a foreign owner will go for a continental flavour (probably a French nougat or German wiener)
Ashley's short-term gamble 4:38pm on 26 Sep 2008 How can anyone treat the club seriously? All that's left is to pave the streets of newcastle with gold for Bryan Robson's emotional homecoming as the next permanent manager! That would easily get NUFC nominated for a Golden Globe for best comedy act.

TeaTimeAtHarrods: Have you ever heard Sir Alf Ramsey speak? It's more like Captain Mainwaring than Chas 'n Dave!

Heaven forbid you be melodramtic!

I wouldn't be so sure about tearing newcastle apart. I'd say its 50:50, you don't know what team will show up after the recent andorra and croatia matches (hmmm sounds like a certain team I've supported over the years). Again, another aspect to my argument of england hypocrisy; build the team up to unforseen limits when you win, then banish them to the bowels of hell when they lose. WELCOME TO OUR WORLD!!haha.

But seriously.....yeah we're screwed.

And what have England achieved in 40 years??

But it's true, newcastle are a joke ever since Freddie Shepherd made the 'mary poppins' remark . The Dalglish/Gullit era, the Dyer-Bowyer fight, the Souness reign of tactical ineptness, Albert Luque, Marcelino, Allardyce and his pro-zone nonsense.....Apart from Robson's days I could go on and on.

But don't think this is the lowest of the low. We have the same fortunes as Eastenders' Billy Mitchell.

Regardless of your feelings for the club, no fan deserves this tosh.
Ashley's short-term gamble 3:44pm on 26 Sep 2008 Any England fan who ridicules Newcastle fans for being unrealistic, fickle, self-righteous etc. is a total hypocrite!
Ashley's short-term gamble 3:32pm on 26 Sep 2008 backinwhite,

He forced Keegan out of the club!!! And now he's recommending his old mates to take over (Venables/Kinnear). Then his signings have been average-to-rubbish bar Guttierez. It doesn't get more cancerous (in the footballing sense) than that.

Also, Kinnear never won the FA cup as manager. If you're referring to his wimbledon days then that was 1988; JK took over in '92. So he is, in fact, a tin pot manager!!! He won it as a player (1967), 2 years before our last major trophy; so your argument completely falls apart.
Cash, bang, wallets! 12:36pm on 14 Jun 2008 i think the stanford international is a great idea. we've invented a new format and its being exploited to its full extent. that's good business. i think it will be the main format in the future, in particular for the emerging nations.

agnew, i appreciate your concerns as the old, fuddy duddy purist you are. i also love test cricket to bits but i think your blogs imply that stanford is out to crush it. it's simply not the case. he simply has no interest; and whilst he respects the traditions, he is out to promote t20 without discriminating the other two formats.

it seems you take a shine to stanford as much as you do to jimmy anderson!
Panesar might test Hair's patience 3:01pm on 22 May 2008 If any test venue should be dropped it should be the Oval. Why oh why do we insist on having two tests in London??

The Cardiff venue is best kept for the Zimbabwe and Bangladesh fixtures. Small time county....small time matches.
