The quality of the statue, the way they treated him or both? |  |

I didn’t even know Hugh Dennis was a Newcastle fan. |  | | |

The close up of it on the beeb really shows how bad it is. |  |

That’s harsh imo. Not many sculptors have so effectively captured the true essence of Tommy Cannon.

Lol that’s exactly what I was thinking. “Ah b0llox, I’ll just put his hands in his pockets. No one will notice.” |  | | |

Still annoys me that when he passed the majority of the media attention was on the grieving Newcastle fans. The same ones who wanted him sacked. [Post edited 17 May 2022 9:14]

Both.
I’ve seen the statue. It’s dreadful. As for how Robson was treated, that’s been airbrushed, modified and the truth has long since departed.

Ok, there were times at Ipswich where Robson got stick off the crowd, especially in the early years. The difference was the depth of it and that despite their reputation for outrageous hospitality, the Cobbolds knew what they were doing. You don’t get to employ two England managers by chance.
Newcastle was run by clowns and they and the supporters only elevated Robson from senile old fool to statue status when they realised 5th in the PL wasn’t so bad.
When Bobby Robson died, the outpouring of tributes and respect was well deserved. He really was a legend, up there with best. That’s before you acknowledge his brilliant Foundation work. But when I saw the Newcastle fans reaction both at St James Park and at the Ipswich game, I couldn’t help but feel slightly nauseated.
They couldn’t wait to get rid of him. |  | | |

Im from Newcastle and never heard one single fan say they wanted him sacked. In fact they were gutted when he went. | | | |

I spoke personally with a couple of Toon fans at a filling station just before one of our games up there - they were incredibly unappreciative & disrespectful, couldn't wait to "get rid" of him. |  |
