BlueStar Posted January 11, 2008 Share Posted January 11, 2008 AO: "This is the job harry has been dreaming of. His wife wont like the rain and wont want to come. I've spoke to Chris Mort, he is new to this. He's playing it by the book." Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pinkeye Posted January 11, 2008 Share Posted January 11, 2008 Seemingly Rednap does a prematch press conference every week on a Friday so this all seems like madness. I think we have got to give Ashley and Mort the benefit of the doubt on this one. They will not sell us up the river with a second rate manager, they, especially Ashley, know the fans views and they know what we would like. Until I am proven wrong I will believe that Ashley has his man and they are both laughing at the press madness that has surrounded Newcastle since the departure of Big Sam.

Guest Urban Fox Posted January 11, 2008 Share Posted January 11, 2008 The only teams in the premier who play the kind of football we'd love to watch every week are currently in the top 2 and neither manager is going anywhere. I think I'd welcome Roy Keane just as long as Redknapp stays where he is (Ok, maybe not) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Posted January 11, 2008 Share Posted January 11, 2008 If he's turned it down, who is second choice? If he's not already agreed, why sack Allardyce? No idea where we go from here unless the entire Harry stuff was never true at all. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BONTEMPI Posted January 11, 2008 Share Posted January 11, 2008 Oliver on SSN now. Chronicle tonight is about them going for Redknapp. Oliver spoke to Harry this morning, Redknapp said he hasn't been contacted. Oliver spoke to Mort this morning, he did not say that Redknapp had been approached or would be. But somehow, Oliver reads between the lines and Redknapps on his way. I feel sorry for David Craig. Yeah reads between the fooking lines on his prune head more like! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

No idea where we go from here unless the entire Harry stuff was never true at all. It just doesn't add up, from what we know about Mort. Either they have somebody else lined up and this is infact a smokescreen, or in Mike Ashley we have another Freddy Shepherd who sacked Sam on a whim. The latter is currently looking more likely...

BlueStar Posted January 11, 2008 Share Posted January 11, 2008 The mixed emotions of relief and shame if he says we've offered him a fortune in wages and a huge transfer kitty to join us and he's turned us down... I'd be deeply concerned if he's Ashley's first choice and he turns us down. As much as I think this is a sideways step from Allardyce I'm fearful of who we may turn to if he decides he doesn't want the job. Well exactly. I said earlier in one of these mammoth threads, it seems we pull out all the stops to get the wrong man here. Paying off his current club, arguing with the FA over badges, defending dodgy dealings, long contracts, big pay offs, private jets, massive transfer kitties... All to secure Souness, Roeder, Sam and Redknapp And if he's our first choice god knows who we'll end up with otherwise. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nicky Posted January 11, 2008 Share Posted January 11, 2008 I'd be content with Redknapp. I just find it baffling that people think this Newcastle job is attractive to a top manager. You can't please everyone but just look at some of the reactions of people in this thread. Some people have it in for him before he even takes charge of a game (if he does). It doesn't fucking help. and getting behind a manager who won't bring success is EXACTLY what helps, yes? Hwo can Spurs get Ramos, and we have to settle for fucking Redknapp?? Because as you've been telling us for ages now, we're just a useless, pathetic midtable side? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its exactly what I'm thinking too. When SA was suddenly sacked, my first thought was "somebody big has been lined up - goes with the story in the Chron" Now thats looking less likely.

Guest elbee909 Posted January 11, 2008 Share Posted January 11, 2008 I keep wondering what the point of all these smokescreens would be. And has anyone actually seen one in real life?

nufcmichael Posted January 11, 2008 Share Posted January 11, 2008 From Sportsmail: EXCLUSIVE: Newcastle make official approach for Redknapp Last updated at 11:13am on 11th January 2008 Newcastle have today made a formal approach to Portsmouth for permission to speak to manager Harry Redknapp, Sportsmail can reveal. The 60-year-old has been torn between staying at Pompey and the challenge of taking over at St James' Park but it seems certain he will now agree to become the next Newcastle manager. According to the London Evening Standard he has told friends that he will accept the "biggest challenge" of his life as he tries to breathe life into the ailing north east giants. I don't know how reliable they are.... ? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

According to the London Evening Standard he has told friends that he will accept the "biggest challenge" of his life as he tries to breathe life into the ailing north east giants Compensation would now appear to be the only issue left to resolve before Redknapp takes over from Sam Allardyce, who was sacked on Wednesday night after just eight months in charge with their chairman Alex Gaydamark wanting at least £1.5million before the former West Ham manager is unveiled next week. It's believed he can expect a £5m-a-year deal - five times his current salary at Fratton Park - and will be allowed to commute from his Sandbanks home in Poole, Dorset, with Ashley prepared to lend his new manager his private jet. Former Arsenal captain Tony Adams has already been sounded out about replacing Redknapp, who has led Portsmouth to eighth in the Premier League. Ashley is currently in Hong Kong on business but wants his chairman Chris Mort to get their new manager in place before Wednesday's FA Cup replay at home to Stoke City. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/pages/live/articles/sport/football.html?in_article_id=507590&in_page_id=1779&ct=5 Hmmm Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
