Guest jamesmartinsmith Posted October 11, 2007 Share Posted October 11, 2007 Gary Speed will be offered a coaching role at Newcastle if he cannot sort out his differences with Bolton boss Sammy Lee. (Daily Mail) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skirge Posted October 11, 2007 Share Posted October 11, 2007 Anyone know when Speed's contract is up with Bolton ? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest alex Posted October 11, 2007 Share Posted October 11, 2007 Anyone know when Speed's contract is up with Bolton ? I don't think it matters i.e. I think there may be a mutual agreement to cancel his contract and sign for us as a free agent. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think it matters i.e. I think there may be a mutual agreement to cancel his contract and sign for us as a free agent. The only ways he would be able to come here would be for him to retire as a player and join our coaching staff, in which case Bolton would still hold his player registration for the duration of his current contract, leaving him unable to play for us. Alternatively we could buy him in January or wait for his contract to expire. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

eggybread Posted October 11, 2007 Share Posted October 11, 2007 think its nailed on he will be back at some point, everytime he's on sky he seems to mention that he never wanted to leave and we are the club he looks for first despite being an everton fan as a kid, cant see it being now though more likely the summer.

Superior Acuña Posted October 11, 2007 Share Posted October 11, 2007 I thought he looked like he still had it in shearer's testimonial. Sign him, him and barton Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparta Posted October 11, 2007 Share Posted October 11, 2007 As a player? No, thanks. He's about a million years old. What we going to do with him? On the staff, well it's up to Big Sam, but I would be happy to have him if he was up to the job. keep him as backup and motivator? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkie Posted October 11, 2007 Share Posted October 11, 2007 I'd love Speed back at the club and would trust Sams judgement should he decided to bring him back. However, we can not make the mistake of hireing old boys just for the crak. Is something that's become increasingly frustrating and down right stupid over the past two or three years. Srnicek, Bernard, Clark, McDermott, etc - madness - and were brought back for who they were, not what they're like. Speed however, is a different matter - i think he'd be an excellent acquisition in the coaching department. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yorkie Posted October 11, 2007 Share Posted October 11, 2007 I'd have him as mega-backup for the rest of the season, if that's what it took for us to have him as a coach. We probably wouldn't need him anyway. Still a good player anyway! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you're undervaluing his skill set personally. He also lights his farts and pulls pranks on the players. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
