The Wizard

greenspun.com : LUSENET : Unofficial Newcastle United Football Club BBS : One Thread

It seems a lot of you don't like SAF and the way he apparently manages the finest footballing side in this country for the last 10 years. Do you think he cheats?...does he sign un-registered players?....does he do a Wimbledon and sabotage the opposition's changing rooms prior to a game?....does he sub players who have been sent off?......does he conduct his transfer dealings like Dick Turpin and steal players from under the noses of other namagers?.....does he take bungs?..........is he spiteful towards his players?.......does he cry on the telly?........does he twat fans and talk shite like a certain ex Notts Forest manager....does he spit his dummy and walk out of clubs?

In fact..all he does is care. he cares about his players...and how they are treated and he cares about the fans. No doubt you would all tell me that you respect 100% the likes of Shankly and Paisley....even thiough most of you can remember jack shit about either of them...but if you take Shankly's fabled saying "Football - life and death -more important than that".etc, then you'd see that's all the Wizard is all about. Making sure that while he's the gaffer he can get the very best out of his sides.

Ok...so Douggie says the Empire will crumble.....of course it will. Liverpool's did. So what? You think we'll be that bothered? We've had our time...we'll have it again..it comes in fits and bursts. Thankfully I'm around while we're having ours. Clarky seems to think that we'll lose all our support and he says it in a way that suggests we only have said support 'cos of the current silver. Well...if that's yer honest opinion you have very weak memories. ..but not weak enough to forget Leeds of the 70's, Liverpool of the 80's and every other thing in the past that you use to beat us up with.

The Wizard is ruthless. That's all. Winners are . If you could ask Shankly and Paisley they'd tell ya.

Ah he lost it in 96-97! Wenger rubbishing Lord Ferg's claims that the prem season should be extended for Newton Heath. The best thing since sliced bread then publicly slagged off Professor Yaffle and made himself look like Bagpuss! He mus have upped his alcohol intake since then because he looked a rather more normal skin colour as opposed to the plum look he so fittingly adorns now.

Yeh I know you still won the title....:-)

Oh come on..ARSE WHINGER!!!! He's a head case. I'd expect most normal folk to like (admire) SAF above the French Git.

Be careful what you say LR, Professor Yaffle may well be your manager in a couple of years time. Mind you if you put a blindfold on you wouldn't be able to tell the difference, same illegible durge about shit referees and hard done by players.

Which Bagpuss character will it be after that Gordon Strachan as one of the mice, "We will fix it, We will fix it, if only the ref etc etc rumble durge" :0)
