SEMTEX Posted November 11, 2009 Share Posted November 11, 2009 Proper manager Wage restructure Get rid of the big earners How do you expect your "Proper manager" will react when you "Get rid of the big earners"? Arsene Wenger works within a wage structure, he not proper enough for you? Working within an existing wage structure (which is massive at Arsenal btw) is completely different to the chairman coming in and saying right Arsene, I'm going to sell or renegotiate the contracts of all your top earning players. So because there isn't an existing wage structure, it means it wouldn't be possible to implement one? Give over. This place is full of retards.

dinotheprehistoricgeordie Posted November 11, 2009 Share Posted November 11, 2009 Hire someone from Arsenal who would know how to mirror their set up here. A new manager would be nice but if Chris is getting the job done.............. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taylor Swift Posted November 11, 2009 Share Posted November 11, 2009 Transparency regarding the finances and wages so EVERYONE knows how difficult it'll be. If everyone knows how much of a loss we're making and our wage:turnover ratio then I think you'd see a lot more patience and understanding. It'd be the first step towards getting the fans on the board's side. Then you appoint a DoF type with experience in the football world to run things regarding the fooball i.e. appointing managers etc., then you appoint an experienced finance type guy to look after your finance. You sit and just make sure everything is done according to the book. If we have a dumbfuck president who sticks his head into everything (that he doesn't know about), we'll be fucked.

Sorry, of course you're right Wenger wouldn't bat an eyelid if his chairman told him he'd have to suddenly find replacements for Fabregas, Van Persie, Arshavin & Gallas (guessing at top earners here) because they're over a wage cap he's just come up with. He's already shackled with having to work within a tight £100m+ wage budget so he probably wouldn't mind at all being told which players were going to be sold off for him.

AyeDubbleYoo Posted November 11, 2009 Share Posted November 11, 2009 Get the club right in terms of infrastructure first. Build it from the ground up and as long as the first 11 were competent to exist in the premiership short term I would not focus on them. Very similar to the Ashley model, non?

Stu Posted November 11, 2009 Share Posted November 11, 2009 Hold open trials for any aspiring players, charge £50 entry (to dissuade the random charvers who would turn up just 'cos they're bored). Tap into the local pool of players who give a s*** about running out in the shirt. Mike? Imagine if the club did that! Not only a laughing stock of the footballing world, but also accused of exploiting the thick people who think they can be footballers. It would be like the X Factor auditions! The bit in bold - how so? As pointed out further down, Chelsea did a similar thing on SKY and they're not the laughing stock. As for the rest of your post...it sounds like a guaranteed money spinner....Xfactor rakes in a fortune! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

What sort of quality was at the trials, do they regret doing it? Is that the only example ever in the world? I can just image the grief Newcastle would get for holding open trials.

It was on Fox Soccer Channel, and was typical reality TV fare. Showed them having open trials in Toronto, Montreal and Ottawa, selecting their call back list, then picking 30 or so players to enter the training camp. They whittled down the players, with several games (both intra-squad, and against local opposition) before selecting their winner. The winner was offered a scholarship to the Everton Youth Academy in England. It probably ran as a TV series for 6 or 8 shows. Quite interesting show for those interested in the game.

summerof69 Posted November 11, 2009 Share Posted November 11, 2009 well i would keep hughton for atleast 3 years just to see what he could do i am sick of having the pi$$ taken for the amount of managers we have had and sacking him would only give our detractors another stick to beat us with however if he failed then i would sack him and see who the best available manager was at the moment i would go for curbs or kets then i would try and give the manager (who ever that may be) a fair amount to spend then when if we could become a top 10 epl side i would look at starting to invest in the academy then i would work even harder to try and bring the club as close to the community as possible i realise i have mentioned more than the first thing i would do but i thought i may aswell give the full plan Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

midds Posted November 11, 2009 Share Posted November 11, 2009 I'd try to get more kids going to games. Whether through cheaper tickets or any other incentives. Seems bonkers that there are roughly 9000 empty seats for every home game when we could fill some of them with kids paying a tenner a pop to see the match.

Ian W - I think you're missing the point if you believe the £50 registration fee is aimed at trying to raise funds. Its there to discourage thousands of no-hopers from turning up 'for a laugh' - it's a token amount to dissuade the media-hungry chavs from wasting the club's time. Those who can't afford the fee themselves, but have genuine potential, will no doubt be able to find the funds from a manager/coach/family member who believes in them. The idea of making money from the event comes from your comparison to Xfactor and running the event as some sort of reality tv talent show...this is certainly something that has been done in other countries (and maybe even Chelsea - although I can't recall if that was phone vote-based), might be worth looking into if the price was right and the production was good. If done properly, the 'NUFC brand' would receive a much needed shot in the arm. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AyeDubbleYoo Posted November 12, 2009 Share Posted November 12, 2009 Stu, I know you're trying to make a reasonable point, but you can't be serious! As if £50 is going to put off a charver from coming to the trials. People are finding £45 a month for their Sky Sports bill, however much for fags and booze, if they think they can play for Newcastle they will find £50. People put 10 lottery tickets on every Saturday FFS. I can't believe you're seriously suggesting that we should run a TV talent show to find players. I don't know where to start with that one.

magpie418 Posted November 12, 2009 Share Posted November 12, 2009 You would of been lucky if Gazza had 50p on him never mind £50. And if he did have 50p he would of bought a Mars Bar with it. Money is killing football already thank you very much. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
