Willow Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 Imagine the players shock when they come back for pre season to find themselves being coached by a professional unit. Immediate transfer requests from Steven Taylor and Rob Elliot. http://chattypics.com/files/Babyworshiplawd_0fanycvyj1.gif Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 Has he actually signed? http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/33243251 Ian Cathro has agreed in principle to join Newcastle United as assistant manager to Steve McClaren. Final negotiations are taking place with the 28-year-old Scot. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dokko Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 We're now appointing assistant managers younger than me...ffs Feeling old. Guess it's time to give up on the dream of making it as a professional footballer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Away Toon Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 I don't see how he can be assistant manager as that would imply that we have a manager which we don't. If I have to explain this to you haven't been paying attention. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

midds Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 I'll wait until it's confirmed as always but it sounds encouraging IF it comes off. Always maintained that there's some talent in the squad and getting coached properly is the first step to turning this shit around. The players aren't thick, they know that being coached by morons at a club where being 'just good enough' is positively encouraged is a breeding ground for bad habits and complacency. Who knows, it may even switch a few back on and they could even, possibly look interested and motivated into trying to fulfil their potential? Imagine that...

Pilko Posted June 26, 2015 Share Posted June 26, 2015 Interesting bit about him not seeing himself as an assistant for long, two or three years at most. Natural Free successor to McClaren is probably the club's thinking. Having read that article you posted where they speak to Cathro, I'm wondering whether part of him agreeing to come here is that if he sticks it out until McClaren goes, he gets the gig. Even makes me think that the strange way they said "three-year deal, possibly rising to eight" about McClaren's contract is that they always had a young, progressive assistant in mind (Neville, Zenden, Cathro); they evaluate whether McClaren might move upstairs permanently to assist/replace Carr after the three years and if so, ready-made replacement who already knows the club, city, squad etc. Of course, that all sounds far too organised and forward-planned for our bloody cowboy outfit Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
