The Bear Posted 2 November 2021 Share Posted 2 November 2021 1 hour ago, BenTheFox said: 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. I wouldn't. The Count Of Monte Bisto is absolute dog muck.

rachhere Posted 2 November 2021 Share Posted 2 November 2021 53 minutes ago, Sharpe's Fox said: 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. I think it was arrogance on their part - they thought they would easily attract a top manager with money, not appreciating that a top manager won't want to take on the job of turning round a club very much at risk of relegation.

oakman Posted 2 November 2021 Share Posted 2 November 2021 Conte getting paid £15 million a year at Spurs, no wonder they can only afford to give him an 18 month contract. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AjcW Posted 2 November 2021 Share Posted 2 November 2021 Quite surprised by all the 'why would he want to go there' lot mind.... it's literally the chance to win something with a team that can't win, it's the dream for someone with Conte's ability and ego! He could leave a hero after 18 months just by winning the league cup 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nalis Posted 2 November 2021 Share Posted 2 November 2021 Emery to Newcastle rumours. The BBC comments section (yes I know....) seem to think he's crap based on his Arsenal spell but they could do a hell of a lot worse, I think he's pretty decent and its a bit ignorant to use his time at Arsenal as the quality bar while dismissing his time at Sevilla and Villarreal. Emery apparently knows nothing about it though so probably wont happen anyway! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leicesterpool Posted 2 November 2021 Share Posted 2 November 2021 Emery was terrible last in the premier league, I just don't feel his approach or style of play suits the premier league. Did great in Spain of course winning Europa league but maybe that's where hes suited best. I think hes quite a laid back manager who likes to give players freedom to make their own decisions. Problem was when he was Arsenal this caused havoc with some players taking advantage by turning when ever they liked for training or matches. Disinterest and bad attitude. There was no discipline around. I remember reading an article where it was said that when Arteta did his first training session as manager. Come 9am only four players were dressed and ready for training. With rest of the squad just randomly joining whenever throughout the day. When they were asked what time training started most didnt know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moore_94 Posted 2 November 2021 Share Posted 2 November 2021 (edited) Not quite sure Emery is right for Newcastle at the moment when they are in a relegation battle and he has never been in one before Mainly managed clubs that were expected to do well to some level - Sevilla, Villareal, Valencia, PSG, Spartak Moscow. There was his time at Almeria where he got a newly promoted side mid table but that was in 07/08 Would be better off trying to get Rafa out of Everton seeing as the majority of the squad is still his - I think he wont last much longer at Everton anyway either so would be a good way for Everton to "get rid" easily Edited 2 November 2021 by moore_94 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Basically the same defence as they have now and he had them as the 5th best defensive side in the league or something like that - it is a few years later but still If you were Newcastle you would just be giving him and Everton a nudge saying "come on, it isn't working, let us have him and we will pay the compo rather than you having to pay out to sack him in a month" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously this has been a difficult start to the year for them, but that can be partly put down to issues the new owners created with uncertainty around Steve Bruce.

I think their squad is the same as it was 2nd half of the season isn't it? Only made the Willock loan deal permanent? They tend to flirt with relegation for a while all season and somehow pull out results and finish mid table (10th, 13th, 13th, 12th the last 4 seasons) Their squad is getting quite old now, 12 of their 25 first team players are 29 or over and just starting to stagnate and drop off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Norwich and watford are miles off and definitely down imo. But that last spot is a curious one. burnley just won’t go down, you may as well rule them out of the talks. They are so used to this that they don’t feel any pressure when they float around the bottom or lose 3 in a row. They will always come up with some strange results. Like last year when they thumped wolves 4-0 I think Leeds are too good to drop. They are just in a bad patch of form but overall I’d expect them to pick up mid table form. Brentford have given themselves a great cushion and will be looking up rather than down. Southampton could be the team that falter and start to drop when they get into their usual slump. it really does look worrying for Newcastle. Id be very worried as a fan that this whole thing ends in tears. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
