Wymsey Posted 2 November 2021 Share Posted 2 November 2021 (edited) Am not sure what Levy really wants from his club. He's hardly built a decent and pre-planned foundation, apart from the new stadium, for the club in a sustainable and successful manner since Pochettino left - unlike LCFC, for example.

CosbehFox Posted 2 November 2021 Share Posted 2 November 2021 A gamble from Newcastle. It was suggested at Arsenal Emery struggled to communicate his expectations. Strikes a bit Pep Mel at West Brom. Favre who has a very good record at hauling clubs from bottom to top half would be a good choice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BenTheFox Posted 2 November 2021 Share Posted 2 November 2021 39 minutes ago, The Bear said: Telegraph reporting Newcastle are going after Unai Emery. Athletic say Howe is the back up option. Potentially a risk but if he keeps them up this season it could turn out to be an inspired choice. Having said that, Villareal are struggling at the minute.

AjcW Posted 2 November 2021 Share Posted 2 November 2021 Often felt there's a bit of a misconception with Emery that he's good at getting average sides to win things. Sort of leaves out the fact he's had some incredible individual talent at Sevilla and Villarreal who have carried those sides over the line during his tenures.

His away record at Sevilla was absolutely horrendous if I remember rightly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unabomber Posted 2 November 2021 Share Posted 2 November 2021 Emery seems a really weird choice for them. I assume they just want someone in to keep them up and then they will get someone else in the summer. With that in mind surely Emery wouldn’t want the job for 6 months.

Guest SO1 Posted 2 November 2021 Share Posted 2 November 2021 Newcastle has to stay up or it sets them back two or three years. Emery is an excellent manager who took the wrong job(Arsenal) at the wrong time. Wonder if he knows what it takes to manage a club at that level to stay up. They need goals badly and don't have the squad to get them. Half a season is a very tough ask for any manager. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SAFC1 Posted 2 November 2021 Share Posted 2 November 2021 Emery will be adored - he’s won trophies elsewhere. That’s why Benitez was loved Pardew was hated despite guiding them to a 5th placed finish and a European quarter final. Idiots. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nor me, what's the point of sacking Bruce without a ready replacement? It feels like they're hoping they will survive and planning for that eventuality so that in the summer they can start splashing the cash. Staying up should be their ultimate priority right now, and I'm not convinced Unai Emery is that guy to do it. Howe, maybe is a better choice as Newcastle do have some decent attacking players but absolute dross everywhere else which was basically Bournemouth for 4 years.

Honestly, if I was them I'd just bite the bullet and give Allardyce an 18 month contract and bin him off at the end of the season and then get the desired manager in. Bollocks to what their fans think, they just need someone to keep them up and it doesn't matter how they do it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Completely agree. Anyone with anything about themn would have sacked Bruce on day dot to get the fans immediately on side and have a chief exec and manager to come in the next day. Everything about this mob seems amateur hour. Newcastle fans who say they want to emulate us completely miss the point since LCFC is essentially run as a family business and the day to day operations is run as a very tight ship and built on implicit trust.
