What he's getting out of the likes of Almiron, Willock, Joelinton, Murphy, Longstaff etc. is seriously impressive. They have brought in quality like Trippier and Bruno, but he is getting a tune out of players who this time last year didn't look like they were anywhere near this level. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not even spent that much money and the squad before Howe joined was mediocre so he really is maximising every ounce out of them right now and momentum is everything. Will be interesting to see if they last the course where they then will seriously start spending. Totally disagree with this and it shows sportswash when backed by money can really kick in quickly. Newcastle have spent TWO HUNDRED MILLION in 12months on Pope, Targett, Burn, Botman, Trippier, Guimaraes, Wood, Isak. Aswell as spending enormous money - the wages fot Pope, Botman, Guimaraes , Trippier and Isak made them join a nom top 6 club so the reality of the investment is way higher than £200m They have also been able to hold on to Wilson and St Maximin Granted Isak nd St Max have been injured but currently Howe has more members of the england squad than some top 6 clubs and world class internationals in schar, botman, guimaraes and isak in the squad. The £25m each spent on Wood and Willock then just gives great back up... Good manager but lets not sugar coat it net investment is astronomical. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously his stint at Stoke wasn't successful but I'm fairly sure the Stoke job is poisoned chalice given some decent managers have failed there recently.

I don't think he's getting much out of Murphy/Longstaff/Willock to be fair. Almiron has been a revelation and Joelinton is a £40m player finally coming good. Trippier and Bruno are Champions League standard players that wouldn't be there without the money. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will be interesting to see if they last the course where they then will seriously start spending. They are really good to watch. I always thought Howe was a good manager at Bournemouth but his recruitment seriously let him down. It seems at Newcastle they have got it right so far. The new management team seem to be doing a very professional job on how they are running the club - I thought they'd go crazy on trying to sign Mbappe and Neymar or anyone else with a reputation to boost the profile. They really havent. They have acquired experienced premier league players alongside some real talent around europe. I dont think they'll make the top 4 this year. Might be a bit early but 5th - 7th is a real possibility and that would be excellent progress. Newcastle have always been a good club too. Excellent fans - very friendly. I am sure in a few years that opinion of mine will change just because they are successful! Edited 7 November 2022 by Mickyblueeyes 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CosbehFox Posted 7 November 2022 Share Posted 7 November 2022 How come Lopetegui has such a big reputation? His managerial record looks quietly frankly crap. Rayo - sacked, ended up in the third tier Porto - biggest ever budget, didn't win any silverware Spain - his conduct lost him his job after qualification to WC Real Madrid - just 16 games - won 6, lost 6 Sevilla - finally silverware in the knock-out Europa League COVID Cup. In league seemed, very par reaching 4th with Sevilla and the 4th biggest budget. This season 1 win in the league. Sacked Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They haven't improved though and that's on top of losing 9-0 twice. Investment is probably more the issue, the quality they've been bringing in is worse than what it was (Poch and Koeman brought in some really good players) but Ings did cost £20m and Adams was £15m. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ings was a success. Adams for £15m isn't a bad signing. They seriously lack goals throughout their team though.

21st Century Fox Posted 7 November 2022 Share Posted 7 November 2022 Southampton added that Hasenhuttl had departed "having made a significant contribution to the club, overseeing some memorable results... Very diplomatic. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sol thewall Bamba Posted 7 November 2022 Share Posted 7 November 2022 Another new manager bounce incoming. I think I'd still tip them to finally go down this season though, been circling the drain for years. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sm1 Posted 7 November 2022 Share Posted 7 November 2022 I think Hasenhuttl was ready to go anyway. Not many managers would admit they didnt know how to turn their results around like he did. The writing was on the wall as soon as said that. Southampton have just sold too many of their top players over the years. If they had a similar strategy to ours, selling 1 player a season, they'd have a much better team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It won't be - not every club follows our "former Premier League and/or current Celtic" approach to appointing managers, and more fool them.

filbertway Posted 7 November 2022 Share Posted 7 November 2022 Michael Edwards gone, Klopps time coming to an end. Massive amounts of money spunked in a donkey with a terrible temperament. I can see why they're trying to get out while the reputation is still high. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manini Posted 7 November 2022 Share Posted 7 November 2022 From the statement, looks as if they’re looking to retain a majority stake, but would welcome outside investment under the right circumstances. So a bit of extra investment to be able to pump more in to transfers, pick up part of the weight on stadium redevelopments etc? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
