JH Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 http://www.nufc.co.uk/articles/20140206/club-statement-willie-donachie_2281670_3657477 Newcastle United can confirm that Willie Donachie has resigned from his position as Reserve Team Manager with immediate effect. The Club will be making no further comment. Christ, they just use a template to cut down on the work-load. You have to wonder if they actually know what 'resignation' means Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LucaAltieri Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 There are a shit ton of good coaches out there. Hopefully we'll pick one of them up instead of the usual 'jobs for the boys' stuff. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NUFC Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 So likely that Dave Watson will step up? Did Stone do the reserve job previously. Good opportunity to bust him down and revitalise the coaching team perhaps? Was Stone not Assistant Reserve Team Manager or something? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 This is from a direct source who plays football for the academy / 21s, although from well before Christmas. He apparently , when music was playing in the dressing room, said get this n***ga shit off. As I say this was months ago and maybe has already been dealt with, but a strange coincidence. From what I gather, he wasn't particularly liked anyway. Probably unrelated but: http://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/news/newcastles-willie-donachie-quits-over-3119427 The club launched an investigation which was expected to centre on whether or not inflammatory words were used in the build-up to the confrontation. Not good. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scotty66 Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 The incident would have been dealt with by Kinnear had he remained in the job Would have also not been good Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Roger Kint Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 Is that right our club only has 6 outfield coaches(including managers) for the entire playing staff? Pardew, Stone, Carver, Watson, Beardsley & Joyce? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
loki679 Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 They use the phrase 'Newcastle's turbulent week' when they could just as easily say 'Newcastle's turbulent 122 years' and still be on the money. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

thenige Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 Also "While playing no active part in coaching United's first team, Donachie has a regular duty at first team home fixtures watching from a seat in the Milburn Stand " and passing on his observations to Alan Pardew & Co." reserves are 20th. Out of 22 I would have thought it's more about getting them to play the right way than winning games. If they can't hoof it aimlessly at Shola get rid.

LoveItIfWeBeatU Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 Players developed by other clubs end up costing millions of pounds. Surely it makes financial sense for Ashley to spend money on a decent youth set up and coaches in the hope that it will save the club (and therefore him) money in the long run. The £35m for Andy Carroll shows how spectacularly it can pay off sometimes. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean except for Tim Krul, Andy Carroll, Sammy Ameobi, Peter Ramage, and Fraser Forster. But other than them, what other Championship level players have they produced?

You can also argue N'Zogbia, but he wasn't in the youth setup long before becoming a first team regular. There are quite a few of them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
