Teasy Posted March 9, 2016 Share Posted March 9, 2016 Yeah if keeping McClaren or £4m a year for Moyes are the only two options its the second one every time. But I can understand why people would be surprised at Moyes asking for that much money. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leazes_End_Mag Posted March 9, 2016 Share Posted March 9, 2016 This is all starting to remind me of the Vieira link in the summer before it was shot down days later. I expect a statement backing Steve at dinner time on Thursday. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

KaKa Posted March 9, 2016 Share Posted March 9, 2016 If Rafa came in and kept us up they'd really have some set of balls to then not keep him. The whole city would be in uproar. It would be madness. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Odear Posted March 9, 2016 Share Posted March 9, 2016 The club have no leverage in terms of negotiations, unless it's with another dingbat journeyman. Which would really defeat the purpose. I think heads will roll this summer at board level, Penfold is costimg Mike a fortune Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanji Posted March 9, 2016 Share Posted March 9, 2016 Not in a position to have leverage. We have no leverage because we're 19th in the fucking league. If the club wants to pretend they do ... Well it certainly doesn't surprise me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think heads will roll this summer at board level, Penfold is costimg Mike a fortune Charnley seems almost certain to get the push and it will be deserved. McClaren is the only one who has shown any dignity this week and he'll probably be the first to go. The people who chased him for so long should also be sacked. I can't get my head around a train journey to a 'secret' board meeting when St James' will have dozens of rooms which could have been used which wouldn't have created publicity. I want McClaren gone ASAP but as usual our club has even screwed a potential sacking up, amateurs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronaldo Posted March 9, 2016 Share Posted March 9, 2016 Dignity? Accusing a journalist of having an anti-NUFC agenda for merely telling the truth is dignified now? Bullshit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanji Posted March 9, 2016 Share Posted March 9, 2016 Bunch of unqualified and unprofessional pricks at the boardroom level. A total lack of infrastructure from the football side has proved to be a brilliant master stroke by Ashley again. We have no long term or contingency plans for anything. Just a bunch of crap about "due diligence" and finding "right characters" and all that load of guff. It's all far simpler than that. Cheap, willing to come, somehow affiliated with some old boys club of hacks or that French agency. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ads Posted March 9, 2016 Share Posted March 9, 2016 Here's a fun scenario. Benitez is confirmed. We win the last 10 games and finish mid table comfortably. The line ups are balanced, the football is better, the players look passionate, Mitrovic and Perez score for fun. Benitez expresses a strong interest in the permanent post at the end of the season. We rehire McClaren. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peppe Posted March 9, 2016 Share Posted March 9, 2016 Or we get Benitez in until the end of the season, we pick up enough points to stay up, Fat Mike get loads of millions and is very happy, Penfold hires another sub-par "coach" because it's cheap and we are right where we want to be and nothing will ever change because we're still on the gravy train Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hhtoon Posted March 9, 2016 Share Posted March 9, 2016 I'm not a particular fan of Benitez as a figurehead, seems a bit whiny to me (that dossier was embarrassing) and although technically renowned his man management has always been suspect. Hopefully his rep would boost the players and get them fighting for him.....they'd have to at least respect him compared to the previous jokers. But is 10 days enough to embed his own methods in to our weak-willed squad? All that being said, if we stayed up and he was a summer appointment Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
