That was a time when team managers controlled everything though, those times have now gone with DOF/SD now controlling everything

TBH he didn’t do a bad job with Chelsea when they were under a transfer embargo, it went south when he had money to spend

He’s not going anywhere for a penny under £80m

Easy ways round it, there is nothing stopping PIF opening club shops in SaudI giving every one of the 20m male adults £60 to buy a Newcastle top , even if the club gets half, bang there is £600m per season through shirt sales and nothing the PL can do about it.

Imagine how disappointed the other 18 teams will be when Saudi sponsors Manchester City to the tune of £500m and Abu Dhabi sponsor Newcastle United to the tune of £500m, when Saudi and Abu Dhabi do a deal amongst themselves.

Surely that’s dereliction of duty and could come under gross misconduct, with the ability to sack him without compensation

TBH is Howe is getting mentioned, you can pretty much guarantee it won’t be him, as the club now seem to have their cards close to their chests

Some people on here already have delusions of grandeur, we are basically starting from the very bottom, we’re in the middle of a relegation battle with a poor squad. The best we could possibly do at the minute is someone like Howe. Anyone that thinks someone like conte or someone of that standard would touch us currently absolutely needs their head read

The press are basically going for the shotgun approach, if they fire enough names they will eventually get lucky

If he doesn’t go today, it means they have been knocked back by everyone they have approached and don’t have a clue where to go from here. I wouldn’t even sack the fucker either, no way I would give him a pay off of over 4 times his annual wage, I would put the fucker in charge of the under 21 team with the message “if you don’t like it quit” give him notice that the rolling portion of his contract is finished and he will be released at the end of the 3 years

Problem is when your not a good team you need 3 things, a game plan, a high work rate to pressure the ball and above all the team needs to be FIT, we have non of those 3 traits sadly and it will take time to install that mentality

Don’t know why, I just think we need shelvey on the pitch now

If you’re gonna have a cardiac arrest, a football ground is one of the better places to have it due to the facilities in close proximity. Fingers crossed.

Miles on side

From that interview, you can see he’s trying his best to get the sack, expect an absolute thrashing on Sunday this fucker wants his £8m

When charlton beat us 2-0 at home on a cold day in January 1989

I don’t get where this £8m pay off for Bruce is coming from, surely the £8m is for him and the rest of the Steve’s

Can you imagine shelvey in that sort of system, he wouldn’t last 10 mins

I would love Jose TBH, when allowed to spend money he’s a winner

And do you think a team that’s going to be a rival will not want more that they paid knowing that we need to build a squad

Yes we can do better but not right away, we have to build

Why is that?

The one player I would love to see us go for is aubameyang

Been having a look to see realistic targets PL targets that we could sign if our budget was upto £190m and the prices we would likely need to pay, personally I think we would get better value going to Europe for players. James Ward Prowse- £30m James Tarkowski- £25m Donny van der beek -£50-60m Wilfred Zaha -£50m Total £165m

Guess what time it is boys
