  1. Bruce in the dugout against Spurs would take a seriously gloss off everything. It just can't happen. If Jones has to be interim for the next week or even two, so be it. Bruce has to go though and absolutely will.

    Jamal Lewis

    Poor sod. Wonder if the new coach can salvage his career.
  3. Potter fits the DoF/Headcoach system we will almost certainly go for won't he? We need a coach that can get the best out of players and help develop players right now. Can Potter handle working with bigger names and personalities if we start bringing them in? Probably a bridge you cross when you get there? If he does well the England job will probably beckon. I don't know that he is the inspiring charismatic choice that will totally unite the fan base but his methods and backstory is awesome. I'd prefer a more proven winner and big name but the right choice is the person that is honest, in it for the right reasons and can improve players while winning games.
  4. Howe's about that! https://www.dailyecho.co.uk/sport/19636853.reports-eddie-howe-will-reject-newcastle-wait-saints/ Keep seeing reports Conte has ruled himself out but is this just hearsay or has he been quoted?
  5. Who says he isn't? ?? I'd be shocked though.
  6. ?That's the key. It is a huge opportunity and probably his best. Everyone's best chance tbh. There can't be a better motivator than this. As you say, at the end of the day if players aren't up to it we will ship them out and get players that are better. That is the narrative shift and it will be a weird one to get used to!
  7. Fuck I love this shit. Overhauling this squad is not just short term reality but a countdown. Happy days. Walk of atonement: Bruce and bobbins staff Gayle Shelvey Wishing you well in your future endeavors...as soon as we can replace ye: Dummett Clark Mark Gillespie Krafth Ritchie Hendrick Darlow Manquillo See if they can adapt and excel with better coaching and players around them: Joelinton Lewis Fraser Longstaff Shortstaff Murphy Hayden Woodman Not to blast into space... until such time as we grow weary of them: Lascelles - could be in the above category or the below. Schar - bit like Jamaal think he will be a different player but could also be phased out. Fernandez - he will be phased out quicker than the rest, but deserves to stay as long as he is useful. Cornerstones to keep: (can't wait to see these guys with better players around them) Dubravka Almiron Willock Wilson Saint-Maximin January needs: (furthr summer additions) 2 (1) Central or Defensive mid 1 (1) striker 1 (1) CB Upgrade fullback on either side. Can't see more the 4 coming in at January but who knows.

    Joe Willock

    How fucking vindicated and happy does Joe feel right now?
  9. Would appear so... Most championship winning titles: Newcastle United Norwich City Reading Sunderland Wolverhampton Wanderers (2 titles each Another thing to piss the mackems off lol
  10. Honestly don't care if we go down. We will come straight back up. We are undeniable now.
  11. Nah we are marvel not DC. We had spiderman. Now we have Vision and the league gave us Hawkeye we might get Hulk?
  12. My only fear is how he gets on with the new manager. He has prior doesn't he? Not to mention Bruce flat out saying he is late to training every day..and doesn't seem to be reprimanded for it. This could be the greatest thing for ASM or the beginning or the road depending on what type of manager and people person we bring in. ASM has outwardly expressed the need for ambition to keep him at the club but he has also had the freedom of the city and treated like royalty. If he clicks with the new manager he could fulfill that world superstar potential we all know he has. Time is on his side. Ultimately it's up to him!
  13. We want someone here for the mid to long term. No people that will be stepping stones to an international gig or job elsewhere. The first appointment is a massive one. Still wouldn't be surprised if they go interim for the year and take their time finding the right person.
  14. Maybe I missed Amanda's husband's official involvement in the whole project. I knew he had been very active, supportive and championing it on social media. I was quite surprised if not taken a bit back when started speaking in the video of them arriving at SJP..and then continued speaking. Seems like they are the going to both be the public faces. They both come across smart, knowledgeable, passionate and likeable so far. It's very PR power couple, William and Kate or more Steph and HHH ? The authority is here. B+ players be gone, YES YES YES.
  15. I was working putting giant shutters up at the end of the day at a seaside cafe, listening on the radio with earphones. Got back home just in time for. "Albeaaar.......OOOOOOOOOH" Will never forget this soundtrack from the Sky wrap up package highlights of the game to end coverage.
  16. When Kevin Nolan defied all laws of physics, then chicken danced his way around St. James Park.
  17. His whole story is pretty inspirational, obviously he is poster boy over here but speaks very well, is always the soul of the party at Bayern and in the Canada Camp and universally liked and praised. Zero ego and unbelievable head on his shoulders given his talent, age and what has been put on his shoulders. Full on bias from watching him play since his debut at 15 for the Whitecaps but he is a generational talent no doubt.
  18. Yeah, thats a pipe dream. He will leave Bayern in a 2-3 years either way imo. Whether we can grow the club and project to a point that he see's that as attractive who knows. He is the type of player and personality I would like to see the club grown around though. He would absolutely LOVE Newcastle.
  19. Airport TLC match. Sadly Ashley wasn't RAW GM at the time.
  20. Alphonso Davies and ASM down the left. He would be a massive addition on and off the pitch for the club.
  21. Considering the other potential choices Martinez would feel a bit disappointing but better than the likes of Gerrard, Lampard, Howe or Southgate imo. Not one to rule out considering Jones being here already.
  22. There can be only one. it is time.
