I've been given a fair amount of stick on here
about the way I said Souness wasn't that bad a manager
Whether people think that is funny or not, isn't the issue
He was up against it the moment he took the job, from the moment he was relieved.
Not once throughout his whole time as manager did he EVER have a go at the fans, or conduct himself in a way that was open to criticism
On leaving Newcastle he said I am obviously saddened at the way things have worked out at St James' Park," he said in a statement on Thursday.
"I have enjoyed living and working in Newcastle, and my family and I have been made to feel particularly welcome by the Geordies.
"I wish the club, the players and the supporters good fortune and success going forward."
Whatever anyone thinks of souness in any capacity, that is how a professional conducts himself in a respectable and noble manner, not pointed at crowds, fisting and gesturing at fans, slagging players off for showboating or on more than one occasion specifically saying in a radio interview "I don't care what the fans think"
Worthington deserves all the abuse he gets
