ha ha RHC .... tis friday afternoon and fastly approaching beer o'clock! With which i ask Chops where are thou
14th jan 1997 to 27th Aug 1998 - One and a half seasons. Not possible to determine where the club would have been had he been appointed earlier in 1996, or if he had been kept in 1998 (he was sacked after not winning the opening two games of the season, and for not being Kevin Keegan) He inherited the side in 4th place and got the, to a second place finish. he had to create a spine for the team, as the Geordies had a side with attacking flair but limited defensive capabilities
he inherited the best newcastle side of all time. A side that had finished 2nd the season before and was challenging when he signed. he took them to 2nd ( something that the previous manager did aswell ) and then proceded to drag them all the way down the table to 13th a year later. Thats worse than what Rafa did to Liverpool, 2nd to 7th. He started the demise of the greatest Newcastle side assembled.
What was Fergusons ''excuse'' for taking a Man United side that was regularly finishing in the top four to 11th, 2nd, 13th, 11th and 6th. This was from 1986-1991. Oh yeah, he inherited a bunch of soaks, when in reality he inherited two of Europes finest centre backs (Moran and McGrath), and the then England captain (Robson) Ferguson spent a huge amount of money to take that side from 2nd in 1988 to 13th in 1989.
You got it right, he inherited anything but the best United side ever. A side full of drunks and players with bad attitudes. Makes his job even more impressive doesnt it. Turning a bunch of drunks who had ability into a bunch of footballers who used their ability.
He didn't. He got shot of most of them, except the one that pulled down his pants and kissed his arse, and that was of course Bryan ''Captain Crutches'' Robson who was a bigger alcoholic than any of them. Norman Whiteside was compared to George Best.. drinking ability but definitely not footballing ability.
and you know this is true because you were/are Robson's personal Doctor, and you personally diagnosed him as a certified alcoholic? in fact you claim that there were OTHER such alcoholics in United's team, where there appeared to be an in house competition to whom was deemed to be the best/or worst depending on which perspective you take, at being the said alcoholic. And for the record Whitside's career, like Best's, was cut short before his true pontential was shown, but with Norman it was down to injury and not drink.
didn't fergie use the old incontinence trick to get off a fine for driving on the hard shoulder - he had another bout of it after he lost 4-1 to liverpool at old trafford
What is it with liverpool fans and players personal lives. Shut the **** up, if you want to discuss personal lives then by all means get yourself a sex change you big girls blouse. KPR and now you. just STOP.

I love how out of all the crap that was posted during that time, that is the post that made him bite. Beggars belief.
And by the way, saying "Manure" is just as childish and pedantic as somebody saying Liverpoo. So don't complain when they do
