Guest Posted May 26, 2019 Share Posted May 26, 2019 Looks like Neil Winskill (U15's Coach) will be taking over the U18's next season. He currently holds the UEFA Pro Licence along with U16's coach Liam Bramley. Not sure there is anyone else internally who is as qualified as those two. Ben Dawson. If we can keep Ben Dawson, Liam Bramley and Neil Winskill together we'll have a great core of coaches focused on coach development as well as player development. They won't allow standards to drop. All according to plan. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoveItIfWeBeatU Posted June 5, 2019 Share Posted June 5, 2019 https://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/newcastle-united-takeover-transfer-news-16379663 Shola's new role at NUFC Shola Ameobi has been appointed Loan Player Coordinator at Newcastle United. Ameobi will be in charge of organising loan deals for young players, assessing where will be the ideal places for them to go. It’s becoming an increasingly important role - as evidenced last season with a spate of youngsters having bad experiences with temporary spells away from the club. Should have put him in charge of teaching players how to take a penalty. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

NUFC Posted June 5, 2019 Share Posted June 5, 2019 Looks like the set up for the academy is something like Joe Joyce - Academy Manager Ben Dawson - Head of Coaching Mark Atkinson - Assistant Head of Coaching Neil Redfearn - U23 Manager Liam Bramley - U23 Assistant Coach Neil Winskill - U18 Manager Ian Bogie - U16 Coach Shola Ameobi - Loan Coordinator Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raconteur Posted June 7, 2019 Share Posted June 7, 2019 Seems like a role for someone with lots of contacts at lower league clubs, which sounds nothing like a (virtual) one-club man who can ride a bike while eating an apple. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
thenige Posted June 7, 2019 Share Posted June 7, 2019 Seems like a role for someone with lots of contacts at lower league clubs, which sounds nothing like a (virtual) one-club man who can ride a bike while eating an apple. Role will have next to nothing to do with discussing things with other clubs. The role as it is in football is essentially keeping the loan players in touch with the club make sure they're eating right, sleeping right, don't have any problems etc. Working on anything they need to do so from a development perspective. Some teams (Chelsea for example) create a WhatsApp group for all their loan players to keep in touch and share experiences etc. Has definitely become more common the last couple of years.

If you're doing it properly, then a proactive loans manager is researching clubs who need positions filled by players he wants to send out. He wants to know if the manager is progressive or a Proper Manager. He wants to know if he's going to be training at... somewhere better than where our reserves train. After the player goes out he needs to monitor their progress, sure. But the role was set up after the failure of several loan spells. They need someone to get our youngsters starting at the best clubs possible for each player. So they absolutely should have good contacts at lower league level. And that's not Shola. If they want to hire a guy who gives loan players a hug once a month, then don't call him a loans coordinator. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they want to hire a guy who gives loan players a hug once a month, then don't call him a loans coordinator. How do you know Shola doesn't have good contacts? He may well have a few from his time at Fleetwood and Notts County but I doubt this role is about the contact book (though of course I am sure they will be useful), and he would be able to make the relevant contacts anyway. It is likely more about research like you alluded to. Shola is a clever and articulate bloke, and is probably better placed for a role like this than the majority of our ex players. I am not sure why people assume what he achieved (or didn't) as a player has much or a relation to his competence for this job. Good luck to him.

Guest Posted June 7, 2019 Share Posted June 7, 2019 Aye, Shola is canny, cares and talks to people. I know that sounds daft, but there's many involved with NUFC that don't even talk to other people they work with simply because they're not 'FIRST TEAM'.
