2015/16 Football Season - MrFozz - 09 Jun 2015 While we are on about the Northern League... League Chairman Mike Amos is to retire at the end of the season Northern League chairman Mike Amos to retire at the end of next season after 20 years Like him or loathe him, he has turned the Northern League into the best Step 5 League in the country...Starting with Whitby Town back in 1997, he oversaw the Northern League domination of the FA Vase to the point that a beano to Wembley is pretty much guaranteed year in, year out. The one thing I don't like is his opposition to the FA and the Pyramid, I would prefer it if The Northern League had more ambition, but I suppose you only can live within your means, in doing so, the Northern League is probably the best attended Step 5 league and can attract players of a really high standard. Mike Amos, loves his football and anything to do with local football, I have spoke to him a few times over e-mail, he is very likable and would do anything to protect the game locally... I think he will be a miss come next season, whoever gets the job has a huge pair of boots to fill [SMILING FACE WITH OPEN MOUTH] RE: 2015/16 Football Season - Andreos1 - 09 Jun 2015 (09 Jun 2015, 2:43 pm)MrFozz wrote Gonna be a pain in the arse [emoji14] Yes and No, at the time the Northern League was supposed to be a feeder to the Conference, by the late 80's, despite being a good league ended up being underneath the Northern Premier League in terms of infrastructure, The Northern League equivalent at that time was(and still is today) the Northern Counties East League, when Whitley Bay, North Shields and Spennymoor United defected this is where they ended up going to escape the Northern League...Ultimately all those teams would end up back in the Northern League... We will have to agree to disagree on the third tier in the 80's being not too far from the Northern League/Conference feeder levels at the time - but... (me being a pain in the arse) - Villa in the third tier in the 80's?

Substitute Newcastle for Sunderland and hoy in a few pink seats, how the million players bought over the summer will change the team, how this seasons manager will be able to work wonders with a full season under their belt, how this will be the end of managers being fired during their first full season - into the sentence... Seems to be a pattern every season :p Seriously though, what has happened over the last few years, can't continue - at either team. They don't have a divine right to be in the Premier League, but bad management and owners making repeated mistakes, isn't a recipe for success. RE: 2015/16 Football Season - Diamond One - 09 Jun 2015 The teams which I think will Struggle will be Watford, Norwich City, Aston Villa, Leicester City, Newcastle United (mainly due to the owner Mike Ashley not the team itself) shock stars I would say would be both AFC Bournemouth and Sunderland AFC with Dick Avocaat now in charge I think he will get rid of the junk and players who are not performing he will sign quality from anywhere as for AFC Bournemouth despite having a snail stadium they could surprise me like Wigan Athletic did 10 years ago when they first went up or another example Hull City in there debut season started off bright then flopped and finished in 17th so at best Norwich are more experienced the only had 1 year in the championship Watford 8 years in Championship while AFC Bournemouth have yet to play a premier league game but I bet there first game it will be a sell out as they have never experienced Premier League action ever. Meanwhile at the other end of the table I can see Manchester United or Manchester City winning the league while Chelsea will feel a tad week but you never know with the players they sign they might just push for the euros and bring back the glory days fa cup I can see Chelsea winning that, Manchester City league cup winners I think Arsenal will be now desperate again to win the premier league which they haven't done since 2004 RE: 2015/16 Football Season - MrFozz - 09 Jun 2015 (09 Jun 2015, 4:09 pm)Andreos1-75...2nd88 wrote We will have to agree to disagree on the third tier in the 80's being not too far from the Northern League/Conference feeder levels at the time - but... (me being a pain in the arse) - Villa in the third tier in the 80's? I can agree to disagree on that one pal Got my dates wrong, they were Third Tier for 2 seasons in the 1970s...Below is Aston Villa's years outside the top Fight Aston Villa Non-Top Flight Seasons(with position):- 1936-37...9th 1937-38...1st(Champions) 1959-60 ...1st(Champions) 1967-68...16th 1968-69...18th 1969-70...21st(Relegated) 1972-73...3rd 1973-74...14th(Promoted) 1987-88...2nd(Promoted) Third Tier Seasons 1970-71...4th 1971-72...1st(Champions) I do see where your coming from though...Though I would always say The Conference for quality was closer to the 3rd division with only a couple of Northern League Clubs being capable enough to challenge at a higher level, which is why I mentioned Spennymoor, Whitley Bay and North Shields, despite ending up back in the Northern League, they played played in the Northern Premier League Premier Division, as did Bishop Auckland and I think Whitby and Blyth today are proof of that strength today ![]() RE: 2015/16 Football Season - MrFozz - 09 Jun 2015 (09 Jun 2015, 4:13 pm)Davie wrote John Carver has left Newcastle (09 Jun 2015, 4:18 pm)Michael wrote Sorry Davie, u were a tad late Your getting slow Davie Baby ![]() I expect better next season when your fixture service returns #unbelievabledavie #daviestelling [FACE WITH TEARS OF JOY][FACE WITH TEARS OF JOY][FACE WITH TEARS OF JOY][FACE WITH TEARS OF JOY][FACE WITH TEARS OF JOY] RE: 2015/16 Football Season - Davie - 09 Jun 2015 (09 Jun 2015, 6:10 pm)MrFozz wrote Your getting slow Davie Baby EEee give me a break Fozz ![]() RE: 2015/16 Football Season - Michael - 10 Jun 2015 Wes Brown has signed a new 1 year deal.........

The goal set for McClaren is a top 8 finish and win a trophy... I have never forgiven McClaren for; 1. Looking like a cock under his Umbrella in 2007 when we lost to Croatia at Wembley 2. That fucking stupid Dutch accent... When he did that Press Conference and the same goes for Joey Barton as well and his fucking idiotic French accent I was kinda reminded of Arthur Bostrum(Officer Crabtree in 'Allo Allo') Good Moaning I was just pissing by Brotish Farters RE: 2015/16 Football Season - Michael - 10 Jun 2015 (10 Jun 2015, 5:25 pm)MrFozz wrote Steve McClaren has been officially named Newcastle Head Coach LMAO, Cashley must be confident..............

Never realised that mate, despite Newcastle saying it is business as usual regarding ownership of the club, but I wonder why he stepped down, could it be a part of an exit strategy or a worrying step to pulling out completely leaving Newcastle in a financial nightmare???

No idea if it is connected with the Rangers stuff, whether he needs a break or indeed if he is concentrating on his other business. He said he isn't going to sell unless Newcastle win a trophy in his interview at the end of the season.

Does he hope to play for Gateshead or simply hope to come back some day as an opponent? Is he looking to stay pro or is it more likely he will go Semi-Pro and rebuild his career and wish him luck whereever he ends up Best of luck to him, he owes you hugely, I hope your fundraising effort pays off and he plays again (10 Jun 2015, 9:41 pm)Davie wrote Lazio's president has been a naughty boy...
