et tu brute

Don’t know why people (not saying you) are getting so worked up about other opinions on why Howe is not the right choice for the job. I certainly don’t think he is, but I have also said I will give him 100% backing if he is appointed. I’m sure (most of) the others who have voiced their concerns, will do the same.

So they change it, what are they then going to fail them on?, since PIF is separate from the state and is a legally functioning investment company. What can they charge to disqualify the owners? Sorry it’s not going to happen that boat has sailed.

Why? At the end of the day the PL stated that they were happy that PIF and the Saudi state were separate. Once they done that they’re fucked as they can’t then go back and say you’re not separate anymore. If they even tried to (they won’t), it would be thrown out at court straight away. Not going to happen that boat has well sailed now.

His whole world is us, lives it in his little one bedroom shithouse with a bucket that he pisses and shits in, because he can't miss a minute in case there is some breaking news on NUFC. The bloke never posts anything on his alleged team, so I'm not even convinced he's a mackem fan. Total fruit cake, they are all bitter, jealous and twisted, but he is on the peak of Everest for bitterness. Obviously something NUFC related in the past has left him deranged.

Yeah got to back him 100% and pray he can save us this year

If they are going to do the ambition AS talked of when they takeover happened (i.e. winning the PL within 5 - 10 years), then they will have to do a Man City for that

Unless everything has just been agreed today

Aye the stupid cunt said we could be facing a fine.

If you look at Bournemouth’s record that’s a no. Looks like he might get the job, so he certainly deserves the support and the opportunity if he is appointed. Still maintain it will be a disaster, I just hope he proves me wrong If he gets the job. Trust me, nobody will be happier if he does.

They’re both shit and should be out the door asap, that’s the problem.

Personally as I’ve already said I think he will be an absolute disaster and that Caulkin article about vote being split, happy to work with Jones and worked before with Ritchie - fuck off man

Every foreign manager, when they first come, is in the same boat, some succeed very well and some don’t. However you see UK managers like Bruce (with tons of Premier League experience) failing time and time again. If a manager is good enough and has a decent track record of results, player/team development, tactics, in play management etc etc and at a decent level, then that should be first priority when hiring, not what League they have not managed in.

He is the last reporter (including Edwards) I would take any notice of. He’s always very anti Newcastle and I’ve yet to see one positive article about the club over the years. Even the way he writes that article you can tell, ‘turned down by a long list of managers’, ‘shambolic’, ‘chaotic strategy’. Fuck him the blokes a total cunt when it comes to us.

Agree, but he should be nowhere near the future proposals for how the club operates in anyway, and that he was involved in the new manager deal is an absolute NO. He should be purely there to give guidance on how the club was operating prior to the takeover. As you said transitional figure, nothing more.

Ashley has gone and I'm sure they will get things sorted, I think nobody would disagree though that it has not been the best of starts by a longway

They haven't even registered on Companies House as being the new owners yet. Still states it's Charnley running the show

Judging by comments on here (mine included) and elsewhere I have seen, then that is certainly not going to be Howe

If you believe that, then fine, I think he will be an absolute disaster. Time will tell as I think he will be the manager

His defensive record, just have a look at how many goals Bournemouth conceded each year, which is exactly the one key area we need to strengthen immediately.

Except he can't organise a defence for toffee, exactly what is required right now. Disaster of an appointment if it is him. What a total fuck up by the consortium this is mind - fucking Lee Charnley doing the negotiations, Jones guaranteed his job, howay man. I cannot see PIF being happy with their UK consortium members.

Yeah I honestly do think he is

The fact it has come from Caulkin who is AS go to, tells me it's not just media bollocks and speculation.

It's absolutely laughable that he is involved in any decision making under the new owners. I can understand him being an advisor for the move between the old and new ownership. but to have that absolute prick anywhere near actually being involved in any decision making and especially the hiring of a new manager is a fucking joke.

That to me, if correct (it's came from Caulkin I believe who is a puppet for AS), then that single handedly is one of the worst decisions you can make.

Yeah it is, just seems very specific what it includes and suggests to me he’s had a conversation with Emery or one of his associates. Keep saying it, but we will just have to wait and see
