Exactly! look at Jones' resume and then look at Stubbins before he started here. They are not too different. Supporting roles in Australia and similar or head coach roles in minor leagues in Asia. He is just not up to it.
He was a very average wide defender as a player in the era when wide defenders did nothing but stand and wait for wingers to run at them. The last thing Newcastle needs is a second rate manager with a defenders mentality.
I haven't asked for my money back yet but if they appoint this plonker as manager I will be.
I wasn't saying Griff would be a good coach. I was saying that whoever they appoint will be sacked at the start of next season anyway so what does it all matter.
Go watch some football and come back to me on that one. If the team has a strong ethos and style of play, then a similar coach can come in and continue on the same methods. Our style of play is 'find a way to lose games as late as possible'. It takes longer than a month to take a team that hasn't played finals football in forever and make them competitive. Even in a league as simple as the HAL.
I don't think people are angry about Miller being sacked because they thought he was the Messiah. I just think people wanted some stability. I'd take a few seasons building up towards long term competitiveness instead of this 'Sack everyone, throw some sh'%t into the fan and see what sticks' plan we have been working through for the last 5 years.

And these calls he is making I find even more grandstanding. The one and only thing Lawrie should be doing is expediting the recruitments process. Once he has employed a manager, ring whoever he likes.
We have 1 more trial before the season starts and the manager should be onboard by then.
Gee Borat, no offence but gee you are starting to sound full of yourself saying what Lawrie should be doing and not doing.
Would you know what his whole day curtails from start to finish? What credentials and expertise have you got in running a football club?
He has basically said to disgruntled fans over Miller's sacking that he will discuss their grievances directly and try and persuade them from throwing in their Memberships. I think he should be applauded for this but you say it is "grandstanding".
Like Jeterpool said "he is damned if he does, damned if he doesn't".
Anyone see that article on "The World Game" about Jimmy Gilligan?
Any thoughts?
