Sol thewall Bamba Posted 12 October 2021 Share Posted 12 October 2021 35 minutes ago, Dave Fishwick said: we have to face facts, ultimately this Newcastle stuff bumps us down another rung on the ladder. Top 4 was the dream and Brendan got us so close. But if it looks like that dream is falling further away, with the tempter of having a huge transfer budget at Newcastle, can we blame him if he wants to go? In 4/5 years maybe, but right now we're still in a much stronger position than they are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post RonnieTodger Posted 12 October 2021 Popular Post Share Posted 12 October 2021 Whoever goes to Newcastle first will be the fall guy. Ranieri got binned at Chelsea and Hughes at Man City. It will take a few managers to get them what they want. They've got a shite squad that can't be overhauled in a window or two. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pliskin Posted 12 October 2021 Share Posted 12 October 2021 8 minutes ago, yorkie1999 said: I would have thought that with the money that will become available at Newcastle the new owners would be looking to emulate a club such as ours and then take it up a level. They would need someone at the helm who knows our infrastucture, how we work and what facilaties are available, in other words, they would want to build a club, the way you do that is by poaching key people and then basically using their knowledge. Rodgers knows how Liverpool and Leicester work inside out, he's their ideal manager. You’re not wrong, but when does it ever work like that? It’s still the same Newcastle squad as it was two weeks ago…. And as a few have pointed out their main objective is to stay up… Rodgers goes there he will have to keep them up, if it isn’t looking like that will happen, he will get sacked…… And then he will be sat there jobless and looking like a bit of a mug. Newcastle aren’t even a stable club on the pitch, they would be better off going for a manager to keep them up first, and then look in the summer at starting the building process. There would be less risk to Rodgers if he leaves in the summer than now, I don’t think Rodgers is daft enough to do it anyway, it still has the potential to go wrong for Newcastle this season, and that wouldn’t do his reputation any good at all.

This is why I don't think it will be Rodgers, he tends to go to a club where the foundations are already in place to do well, currently Newcastle have nothing in place to actually do well Rodgers will be the next kind of manager they will look at after the first one has been in, kept them up, and spent a load improving the squad that Rodgers could then take to the next level Edited 12 October 2021 by moore_94 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LinekersLugs Posted 12 October 2021 Share Posted 12 October 2021 favourite to take the job now …. Huge lumps of cash on him now , it’s clear Amanda wants her Irish man ! Brendan is very clever playing these situations to his favour he got a new contract worth 10m a year out of the last link to a club (Arsenal) i expect him to stay on improved terms and a HUGE payoff if we ever sacked him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coolhandfox Posted 12 October 2021 Share Posted 12 October 2021 (edited) Rodgers will not be interested in the here and now. He will be interested in the vision of the project. When he came for us, we didn't have a world-class training facility or ground. One was in progress, and one was in the pipeline. Can Newcastle sell him their vision? I think he will also know that we will not provide him with the firepower financial to compete with the bigger clubs. Is he happy to keep fighting with one hand tied behind his back? Our summer business was 3 players from the begin bin, Bertrand, Vestiguard and Lookman. 2 players for the future, Soumare, Daka. Hardly a summer window that would put us in contention for really having a run at the big boys. Newcastle can now blow us out of the water, transfer funding. It's going to be interesting to see how this plays out. Edited 12 October 2021 by coolhandfox 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Newcastle would be perfect for him and I can see him jumping at the chance sadly. That is a big call, for him not to be in the dug out on Saturday means you think this has potential to move quickly. Do you believe he has been sounded out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
An Away Move Posted 12 October 2021 Share Posted 12 October 2021 Rodgers would be daft to join Newcastle right now and intelligent to wait until their first manager under the new regime is close to losing his job. I also think he is very replaceable should he wish to leave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's going to be interesting to see how this plays out. I think covers it quite well. At Leicester every player you buy is either a bit shit or a gamble for the future. Apart from Fofana recently who was a sure thing. If he went to Newcastle he could fill his team with first team quality players and with 2 to 3 seasons have a squad capable of challenging top 4 - 6. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Le Renard Posted 12 October 2021 Share Posted 12 October 2021 (edited) Barrow load of money coming in for Rodger's official wages and another barrow load of money into a secret offshore bank account for his unofficial wages, or he'll be gifted something that is worth a several million. That is how these middle eastern countries do business (allegedly), why do you think players went to Citeh before Pep and stayed there, it can't be for the weather!

Deeg67 Posted 12 October 2021 Share Posted 12 October 2021 Rodgers doesn't have the luxury of waiting for the next time Newcastle needs a manager and their Claude Puel has already done the dirty work for him. If the Leicester project really goes south for him no big-money club will touch him with a ten-foot pole. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leicesterseddon Posted 12 October 2021 Share Posted 12 October 2021 For those who know these things: to what extent will the post-2011 FFP rules constrain Newcastle from “doing a Man City”? On a scale of quite a bit, maybe a little bit, or not at all? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FoxesWalk Posted 12 October 2021 Share Posted 12 October 2021 Whoever is the next Newcastle manager is going to have to tear that dressing room apart and replace basically everyone over the course of a couple of years. If I were a top manager I’d let someone else do that and rock up in a few years… 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fox92 Posted 12 October 2021 Author Share Posted 12 October 2021 I don't believe the Newcastle rumours but I'll be disappointed in him if he was to go. Sill a backwards step at the minute, they're just shit with loads of money now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s why I think BR might go to Newcastle in the summer and buy Ndidi and Fofana. I think Newcastle might get an interim manager until the summer then get BR in, which would already have been sorted behind the scenes. A pre agreement stating that BR doubles his salary and also will only become the Newcastle United manager if they don’t get relegated. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
