Readers Letter: A Pro-Souness View (2)
|
Newcastle-Online.com reader Michael Dixon, has took up our challenge
to write a positive e-mail concerning Graeme Souness and his future
as Newcastle United manager. Mike argues that changing manager's whenever
the chips are down is no good for the long-term stability of the club.
There's been a lot of talk about the Souness debate. Should he stay
or should he go? Fans, players, and pundits alike have all had their
say and now I'm going to have mine.
I personally think that we should stick with the Scot, at least until
the end of the season. The reason for this is that over the years,
we have continually changed personnel when things aren't right - be
it players or managers. What good has it done us in the last 10 years?
That's why we are where we are right now.
Continuous change = no silverware!
And although I hate it as an excuse, we have been savaged with injuries
this season - it's a fact! With a bit of luck (and god knows we need
it), those injured players will come back, and results should start
to pick up.
But, for those boo boys out there, what if we did sack him? Who would
we bring in? Who would want to come? Sam Allardyce? Steve Bruce? Steve
McClaren? All three seem to be the chairman's choice, but I think
when we got Souness, we got the best of a bad bunch, which included
those names.
The only reason a big name would come would be for the pay off they'd
get in a years time. And then when you do bring a new manager, they'll
have a clear out, get another £20 - £50 million, and find then themselves
in the same position as Souness is right now.
They say when the chips are down its best to stick together and I
think its now time for us to conserve all our energy and get behind
Souness and the players. And get back that famous atmosphere!!
