Agree wholeheartedly on the upgrade, his track record is far better than Pardew, Carver, McClaren, Kinnear, Hughton, Allardyce, Souness, Roeder, Shearer - what a ****ing rogues gallery that is. Some have exceeded expectation and proven themselves capable in awkward circumstances.

You're right, Hughton, Roeder and Kinnear did well considering their circumstances.
 
Only if the club had given money in previous seasons like a top 10 club would have had!

Investment has been poor but 80m odd in isolation of one season is top 10 europe type spend. And regardless of what has gone before, it is certainly enough to expect to be sat in mid table and cure most of the main problems. Unfortunately if you just buy loads of midfielders when its probably your strongest suit...
 
Hopefully Rafa will be announced as manager later on today. Ashley has supposedly been back in the UK one day and already things are starting to move faster.
 
If Ashley's having to stick his oar in, hopefully this means the end of Charnley sooner rather than later - appointed a crap manager in McClaren, stuck by him until it's basically too late, then takes forever to sack him and still no one confirmed.

Ashley seems pretty ruthless if someone's not doing there job, i.e. his 6 strikes policy at Sport Direct, and getting rid of his buddy Joe Kinnear for being a disaster with transfers.

Ashley has personally taken over the negotiations for this one I'm hearing.
That suggests that they are deadly serious. I just hope that Ashley doesn't stick to his guns and try to sell this ****ty recruitment policy garbage. We are in dire straits and crying out for a proper manager that has full control.
 
This excitement is a strange feeling. Soon be back down to earth at 10 pm monday!

I feel like I have stepped into a parallel universe, where good things happen to NUFC. Still can`t quite believe what i am seeing and hearing.

I feel weird...
 
Looking forward to 23rd April.

Rafa back at anfield!

Top appointment for you guys in terms of who he is and what he could do for you.. However with 9 games to go not sure he's the right kind of manager to keep you up. Should be interesting end of the season.
