Hopefully not, he’s a legend but Al or KK make zero sense as hired other than nostalgia.

I think it’s quite clear at this point they don’t see value in replacing him without a replacement.

I’m assuming because it’s a rolling 3 year contract the minimum term is always 3 years hence the large payout. Generally rolling contracts would be 1 months notice.

Not keen on an interim manager personally. could end up with him having a purple patch and being lumbered with someone who is subpar ala man utd with ogs

Stealing a living for a thousand games is a monumental achievement indeed.

The express

It’s only a matter of time until he’s binned. We are a club which is going places so let’s just enjoy the ride folks.

I think this 1000th game thing is massively overplayed.

From what I understand the trust does engage with its members. As far as the general support base I somewhat agree but it seems the trusts mandate is to put its member first and as someone who isn’t a member I have zero issue with that.

I think you might want to adjust your expectations of the trust and what it can realistic achieve. -coming from a none member of the trust.

Let’s lay off the attacks on Greg. He’s done a lot for the club and this place. I’ve got no doubts he is doing the best he can with the resources he has.

Can we rid this thread of all talk of “burnsie” can we keep this place for football related Twitter bullshit not Twitter drama?

Source?

This would be great NUFC chat without giant egos trying to create a social media following or become influencers.

I promise you all he can’t wait to get binned at get his grubby hands on his payoff.

Not sure he’s right here given other sources are saying they are awaiting PIF to confirm he’s gone.

We don’t have a manager or DoF In place. I think any rumours about us at present are likely wide of the mark.

Yeah. I found it silly too. If you can get Conte you get him it really is that simple. infact I would argue that a manager such as Conte is perfect, he can build the club from the ground up in a way he wants to. It’s a complete blank canvass which is why Rafa was enthralled by it.

Caulkin has a Q&A out in the athletic for those with access.

Heard about it in advance they can fuck off.

Well, to be frank Jones' managerial record is hardly stellar. It's a case of picking your poison IF they want a sporting director to have a hand in it. I think they weren't expecting this to happen so fast and thus alternate plans haven't been nailed down, let's not forget the original plan was for Rafa to be in charge.

It's important to understand the structure they want to put in place also makes this difficult. Ideally you want the sport director to decide who the managers will be but given we don't have that in place it puts us in a tricky situation. If we end up with a British manager such as Lampard I'd expect this due to advice from the advisors they are retaining.

don't lose hope so fast, he will need to show up to remove his stuff from the managers office.

Not sure he will, he's richer than he ever could have imagined.
