Someone ban this Mackem cunt?

Yawn.

Thought he had Mrs Bridge in to assist him? ??‍♂️

Don’t care who it’s leaked from. The point was, that we have interviewed prospective managers.

Yes it was? https://www.telegraph.co.uk/football/2021/10/21/newcastle-willing-offer-paulo-fonseca-6m-season-impressing-amanda/ “Newcastle to offer Fonseca 6m a season after he impresses Amanda Staveley in interview” many other sites too? Eg: “As a coach with a specific identity, the Portuguese reportedly impressed Amanda Staveley and co. during an interview for the Magpies job” from… https://www.express.co.uk/sport/football/1510285/newcastle-united-news-paulo-fonseca-amanda-staveley-tottenham-hotspur-premier-league/amp

It’s been widely reported that the consortium/Staveley were impressed by Fonseca in interview.

But not necessarily from our side, or even truthful links/leaks. Agents and managers wanting into the fun and wealth we can now provide, and putting their own names forward etc.

Fuck…makes me feel old. ?‍♂️?

Everyone missed chances- as you pointed out, the article stated a major one that Ferdinand missed. Some players (Gillespie) got injured. Batty came. Players dipped in form. To put it down to the arrival of Asprilla alone is naive.

So Ferdinand missed a sitter, yet you believe it was Asprillas fault we didn’t win the title?

Fallacy. Individual errors, luck for other teams, and a simple drop in form for a few players. Asprilla turned games and won us points. https://www.skysports.com/amp/football/news/15125/10160470/faustino-asprilla-wrongly-blamed-for-newcastles-failed-1996-title-bid

You need something, for sure. Return ticket to RTG maybe? Something positive for the rest of us was being sold only three weeks ago, and Bruce going two weeks ago.

Martinez now the bookies favourite at 13/2, with Favre second at 7/1 and Fonseca in third with 9/1. Not that the odds mean anything at all.

You realise they have to be interviewed? Several times? And we probably have a list of around 5 or more names? Potentially double that if we’re looking at DoF also? The ‘delay’ is neither amateur or indecisive- it’s the opposite, being thorough and professional, and doing what’s correct for the club.

He’s put himself forward for the DoF role, as he doesn’t have any coaching badges for the managers position. I think Ando was referring to a surprise name for the manager?

Every day counts to get the right people into the club. This is a long term project. A hasty manager signing which overlooks a vital part of his tactical play (for example), could set us back literally years, with trying to implement the wrong things with the wrong players etc. Not to mention money. They’ll get it right, and will build on it. But they’ve only been here three weeks at most, and for one of those we still had Bruce!

And ice water filled wheelie bins ??‍♂️

From the sign in the Dildo brothers shop window?

Off topic, but are you normally a ‘glass half empty’ sort of chap per chance? we’ve had to wait (yes, WAIT) for over two YEARS (if not double that) to get the club sold. Now you’re stressing because the club hasn’t filled the managers position in the last two weeks since they’ve been here? Relax- it’ll get done. And it won’t be Wilder.

The issue being that who has a few billion to spend on purchasing an elite club, and what kind of profit would you make on that as a prospective purchaser down the line. Far better to pick a Newcastle and build it up and make money.

80/1 still…

Need an Indiana Jones gif pulling all the baskets over to find Rafa!

Actually, I just looked and saw this bit too… ’With the exception of Welsh clubs competing in the competitions listed under Rule V.6.2, loans from a club in membership of another National Association do not count towards the above quotas.’ phew…Fonseca back in!! Lol!

So how does that work? ‘Premier League clubs may not register more than two players on loan at any one time. - The maximum number of loans registrable in the same season is four, and, under no circumstances, shall more than one be from the same club at any one time.’

Would you prefer Ten Hag, Gallardo or Martinez to Xavi, or does his history and knowledge of the club sway it?
