Popular Post coolhandfox Posted 4 November 2021 Popular Post Share Posted 4 November 2021 So Newcastle have sacked a manager with a 29% win ratio, who has taken 1.15 points per game to replace him with a manager that has a 29.4% win ratio, taking 1.11 points a game. Awesome work. 1 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Money can buy you anything except success in the Tyne and Wear. Let me dream, damn you. I genuinely don’t think it will buy success (not on the scale that Man City and Chelsea bought it anyway). I think they’re far too late to the party to be able to just swan in and clean up. They could break the top 4 but if the start is anything to go by, I think the new owners are mistaken. I reckon they’ll become competitive but not nerve successful (maybe I’m just being hopeful). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Man in middle - "Excuse me guys, I'm here delivering a trophy for being the finest in the country, where's the recipient, is it for you?"

The gulf between the top 6, the rest of the Premier League and the Championship will be bigger and bigger. I can see another super league eventually. And this will gut the Premier League like the Premier League gutted the Championship. Until fan-led clubs force league regulation then the money will go further and further upwards and away from grassroots English football. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blarmy Posted 4 November 2021 Share Posted 4 November 2021 17 hours ago, urban.spaceman said: Sliding Doors remake aside, from what I can gather from a quick google is that they paid Poch £20m in severance, Jose £16m, and now Nuno £14m. That’s £60m in sacking managers in just the last 2 years. And that figure doesn’t even include what they paid those managers in the first place - they’re paying Conte £20m for just 18 months work. It may not include their pay but it does include an extra £ 10m. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wymsey Posted 4 November 2021 Share Posted 4 November 2021 Howe has nothing to lose if appointed, really. If he gets a similar record to Bruce, top of the bottom-six bunch and gets sacked; he'll still have his reputation at Bournemouth still intact.

Blue-fox Posted 5 November 2021 Share Posted 5 November 2021 Howe spent money poorly at Bournemouth, if they get him in I can see them going down and spending a fortune doing it! Didn’t he sign Jordan Ibe and Solanki for like 25M each?😂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fazzyfox Posted 5 November 2021 Share Posted 5 November 2021 (edited) Didn't Fraser down tools at Bournemouth in their relegation season to avoid injury before his free transfer to Newcastle? Sure Howe will forgive and forget Initially I liked Howe, his Burnley side and the Bournemouth promotion side played some good stuff and there was the whole underdog thing about the size of the club being in the Premier League but as they stayed he seemed to get an ego and arrogance, they were a bogey side for us with some frustrating games but when you did do well he'd always come out with "We were the better side", his stock phrase, Ok if he's doing it for his sides positivity but so often it was bull, and his teams seemed very petty with timewasting, constant minor fouls, general nastiness, I think they lost a lot of neutral admirers. They seemed to evolve back into a lower league team in their approach just filled with fitter stronger pro's, rather than pursuing the good football they arrived with. Really don't know if he'd do well with real quality and budget, a bit of the unknown. Edited 5 November 2021 by fazzyfox 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fox_up_north Posted 5 November 2021 Share Posted 5 November 2021 "How much for Origi?" "Oooh well he's highly prized but we could let him go for £80 million. He DID score against Barcelona" Eddie's eyes light up. He's never been to Barcelona. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
