Thoughts on Bobby Robson More Than A Manager 12:54 - Dec 13 with 1504 views | Illinoisblue | Was not a fan of the continually jumping around timeline. Seemed unnecessary. The bond between Robson and Gazza was heartwarming and heartbreaking. We’re biased, of course, but felt like there should have been more mention of his time with us. Absolutely an English manager who takes top jobs in three different countries should be lauded. But a little more emphasis on what he achieved with ITFC would have been nice. Newcastle’s decision to sack him seemed ridiculous then and even more ridiculous now. The tabloids who hounded him are utter scum. | |

I agree with everything you say in your post. We were so lucky that we sort of stumbled upon a future great in 1969 and those of us that were along for the ride were equally lucky. | | | |

But a good testament to Bobby and showed how lucky we once were to have him at the helm. | |

Way too much emphasis on his brief time managing the most overrated self entitled club in history (at the time they had won the European Cup the grand total of once). They then shafted him like they do to all their managers | | | |

yes, too much Barca, and too much Newcastle. Having Jose in it was fair enough, being his assistant, but he didn't really offer much beyond "he was a great bloke". Yeah, we know that. Tell us more. | |
