AFTER having sourness at the helm for 5 years i will tell you what went on,he thought i will give that lazy bas---d a good kick today,and see if i can put a bit of fire in his belly,well graeme you would have been better nicking his rolex,face it sourness has been a bully all his footballing career,or do you forget his playing day's.

This thread has had it's day as it mainly relates to the problems of last season. Remember, last season finished in a reasonable situation given the amount of injuries etc.

I readily admit that I was getting tired of GS and his inability to get the players into a winning phase and out of the relegation area, but he did do it.

The coming season gives everyone at the club a new chance to start, and that includes GS.

If, after 10 or so games we're struggling, then let's look at who we can draft in to remedy the situation.

[waggy]

so what the manager does in the close season has no bearing on his position,at this rate we will be lucky if our 1st team squad outnumbers burnley.

[dave birch]

Hell, waggy, if Souness hadn't have made any additions over the past 6 months, I might have agreed with you.

He has made additions, give them (and the rest of the squad) the benefit of a few games to prove that they are worthy of the blue and white.

Perhaps, if you get so ###### about the rovers you may consider the short drive to Bumley during the season.......

[waggy]

i reckon i will be considering the journey to turf moor in season 2005/06 because thats who we will be playing that season.

if like many do on this board think dikov is a better player,than gally and is good enough too start in our premiership best x1,we have no chance.

[bob fleming]

Go on then Waggy I challenge you to that. Find one quote from someone, anyone on here who says that Dickov is a better player than Gallagher. Go on..... I'll give you thirty seconds.

[bob fleming]

Thought as much.

waggy

for the life of me I cannt agree with you when you suggest we will be playing the dingles in the league next season. Are you really serious ?

if so then supporters like yourself with those type of views are not really wanted are they ? I mean all this negative vibe and the season still 5 weeks away !

Do you really think that wba,norwich and palace,pompy,bolton,city will be much better than Rovers ?

I think your shooting your bolt a little too soon on this one.

We know we have a horrendous first few games but then we have a tremendous chance to make that up over the next 3 months.

Stay positive

[T4E]

Dickov is better than Gallagher though......

[waggy]

i was looking at the starting x1 for next season thread , when i read it only one poster had put gally before dikov.so there you go

[Eddie]

Souness obviously puts Dickov before Gally anyway...so how does what is posted on here affect which division we'll be playing in, in a years time?

i know your in france but which team did dikov play for last season,and which division are they in this year

[Eddie]

We were relegated once, with a team that included Duff, Dunn and Jansen.

Things aren't decided because of one player. I'm hoping that Dickov isn't in oure first choice pairing come the start of the season. I hope that either Jansen is handed another chance to prove himself or we bring someone new in, but I don't think if we do end up with Dickov that it will be the end of the world.

Then again, I do live in France, and I have an Italian girlfriend, oh...I may have taken things a bit off topic there and I don't like it when that happens.

[S15]

So why did Man Utd sign Smith.

Your pseudo hatred of Souness is getting boring...

Either you have a short memory or your stupid.

[joey_big_nose]

Just to put a different spin on things:

Firstly if yorke, Todd and Flitcroft all go like Cole Souness will have saved the club somewhere in the region of 100-120 k a week. Thats a lot of cash and has to be praised on some level. Their replacements will mostly come from youth players along with probably two cheap signings. Good house keeping.

Secondly Souness is taking a risk, he is sticking his neck out: Few managers would stick a player like Dickov up front for a european push, Graeme obviously believes in him like he believed in Stead. Give him a chance.

It is possible that our manager is actually in control of the situation and everything is coming tgether as planned.......

Only time will tell- give him a chance.

[Blueboy Downunder]

agreed joey.

also, it has to come to the stage where souey has simply got to give the young lads a chance, at this level. there is no point in bringing the likes of gally through the ranks and only giving him bit part appearances from the subs bench in most games. bringing in some experianced footballers and blending that with youth can't be bad and in my opinion is a great step forward, cause we are gonna find out what they are made of.

Fair do's Waggy. But surely that's just people saying who they think our starting 11 will be (as picked by Souness) - rather than actually stating Dickov is a better player than Gallagher.

I'm splitting hairs anyway - I'll give you that one!

(why hasn't it put that quote in a nice little box? Why, why!? Got to be Saunders again)

JBN - Spot on fella - totally agree. Cole / Yorke - neither have left the club yet and everyone keeps saying - "He's going to go with Dickov as first choice striker" - this is despite the quote in the LET last Tuesday (I've mentioned it yet again - it's becoming tiresome) and today in the Sunday Express - "In Matteo, Dickov and de Pedro, I've completed my signings - unless other players go."

So there's four weeks until the season starts and I believe the transfer window doesn't close until two weeks after that (sure I read that on here somewhere).

Let's see what happens.

[FourLaneBlue]

you miss the point SOUNESS PAID OVER THE ODDS,and then tried to break yorke leg in trianing

Well...that's certainly Dwight Yorke's version of events, as can be read in The News of The World today. Or at the link below...

Is it true? Is it false? Who knows but it's hardly the kind of thing that you want being conducted in the full glare of the national press.

Souness almost broke my leg

(why hasn't it put that quote in a nice little box? Why, why!? Got to be Saunders again)

Actually its not Saunders this time. The second

needs a / between the [ and the Q to indicate "stop quoting here".

You can only blame yourself

[bob fleming]

You in league with him or summat tchocky?!?

It's been nigh on 18 minutes now since Cole has left - any sign of a replacement?

[tchocky]

If only you knew about me and Deano....

Him and Souness have a few targets in mind, so expect developments in the next few weeks. So he tells me.

[bob fleming]

tchocky = friend of evil. I'm not getting involved in any of this.

[T4E]

Tchocky likes cats too. He's a loose cannon.

[S15]

The thing we all forget in that Dwight 'The Schlong' Yorke has three legs....

For all we know Souey might just have kicked a ball in his nuts.

[SIMON GARNERS 194]

ALL TOGETHER NOW!....
