Guest DebuchyAndTheBeast Posted September 26, 2013 Share Posted September 26, 2013 Poyet is a good upgrade on DC but if I were in their position I'd favor an experienced manager who can work with average swashbucklers like Pulis or Trappatoni Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

loki679 Posted September 26, 2013 Share Posted September 26, 2013 Would the players, like, move around when Ben Arfa had the ball and stuff? Doubtful. Ben Arfa is our teams pause button.

Kanji Posted September 27, 2013 Share Posted September 27, 2013 So can anyone just do a quick tactic run down of Poyet and Di Matteo? Just curious. Since one article has him linked I'm now curious his style of football (or lack thereof) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
merlin Posted September 27, 2013 Share Posted September 27, 2013 http://www.shieldsgazette.com/sport/football/newcastle-united/di-matteo-not-keen-on-sunderland-but-has-eye-on-pardew-s-newcastle-job-1-6085627 Di Matteo not keen on Sunderland – but has eye on Pardew’s Newcastle job! Published on the 26 September 2013 08:20 ROBERTO Di Matteo does not fancy the vacant Sunderland job – amid rumours he would prefer to be Newcastle United manager. The former West Brom and Chelsea boss was installed as the early favourite to succeed Paolo di Canio when the Black Cats’ head coach was ousted from his job on Sunday night. But the Swiss-born Italian is unconvinced that the bottom-of-the-league club is the right move for him next, in the wake of having led Chelsea to Champions League success in his previous job. Di Matteo was surprisingly sacked by Roman Abramovich last November, having given the Blues the Champions League trophy and the FA Cup in his eight months in charge. The 43-year-old has spent the last 10 months taking a break from the game and considering his next challenge, and sources close to the Italian suggest he does not see Sunderland as it. There have though been rumours that Di Matteo feels that Alan Pardew’s job at Newcastle could soon come up, and he is biding his time for that position. Di Matteo has links to Sunderland through Roberto De Fanti. He is an acquaintance of the Black Cats’ Director of Football and De Fanti is believed to have seen Di Matteo as the obvious choice to succeed Di Canio. But with Sunderland receiving no encouragement from the ex-Blues boss so far, the club is now casting its net far and wide. No appointment is likely before the weekend with Kevin Ball expected to be in the dug-out for the game against Liverpool and the ex-skipper could also be in charge when Manchester United come to visit. Owner Ellis Short reacted quickly in removing Di Canio after the player revolt on Sunday showed that relations between the head coach and his players had broken down beyond repair. But that has not allowed the club any time to prepare and immediately install a successor. Short had already concluded that the Italian had to go after the a dreadful start to the season culminated in the 3-0 defeat at West Brom on Saturday. But he and the board thought they would have the breathing space of the Liverpool and Man United games to find the right replacement as head coach. The current situation is not ideal but with Kevin Ball – a candidate for the job himself – doing a fine job as interim head coach, the club is still likely to take its time and consider all options before replacing Di Canio. Di Matteo would be a good shout IF he was prepared to accept Ashley's policies - he has won trophies and his teams play decent football. About as good as we could get in any circumstances, let alone with this board/owner - the big question is whether he would be Ashley's choice...and we've still got Pardew sitting on the majority of an 8 year deal...

bowlingcrofty Posted September 27, 2013 Share Posted September 27, 2013 A bloke I work with is a genuine ITK for the Mackems and he seems to think it won't be Gus Poyet. He's not forthcoming with much more info yet though, cos I want to wedge on it when he tells me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I cannot believe that anyone would turn down a guy who has won the CL in favour of the status quo...or anyone else who might want to join NUFC as manager because of those who would accept the job, none would have RDM's record behind them. As if supporters of Ashley's NUFC are in a position to turn down the likes of Di Matteo...! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
