Collage Posted June 10, 2015 Share Posted June 10, 2015 So if we are performing poorly under McClaren what happens at board level? "So we need to sack the manager, close your ears Steve you might not like this...." Aye, that's a strange one... We don't sack managers though. Guess that's the point. Unsackable.

Klaus Posted June 10, 2015 Share Posted June 10, 2015 It is certainly a unique approach. Mcclaren and carr are mates aren't they? so hopefully they will work well together, in terms of Carr scouting the right players for positions that we actually need for a change.

Chicane Posted June 10, 2015 Share Posted June 10, 2015 Having him on the board sounds mental. Seems like he's well and truly got his feet under the table. Just another Ashley puppet. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

NUFC_Chris Posted June 10, 2015 Share Posted June 10, 2015 Newcastle United becomes the only club in the Premier League to have its head coach on its Board of Directors, a move which the Club feels adds significant strength to it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ScottishMagpie Posted June 10, 2015 Share Posted June 10, 2015 It's a nice feeling having a manager that I don't absolutely detest. Steve seems like a 'good guy' in all interviews I've seen him in. Was impressed with his sky sports interview. Might all change come the start of the season and we've bought nobody and he starts bullshitting in interviews. Saying that though he can hardly come out and have a pop at the board for any decisions now that he's on the board himself! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scotty66 Posted June 10, 2015 Share Posted June 10, 2015 Wonder if we'll bring in a director of football. Seems the only way that someone will have the power of firing McClaren if needed. Quite upbeat about all this tbh,Ashley is still an arsehole ofc but it's good to see changes are being made and we have people on the board with experience in the game.
