A bit concerned Xavi Valero hasn't come in as goalkeeping coach. Highly rated by the likes of Pepe Reina, whose form dropped appreciably after Valero left Liverpool.

Is he currently available - might not be able to join at this stage.

He was at Madrid with Rafa and left when Zidane was appointed. He's been part of Rafa's team everywhere they've been: Valencia, Liverpool, Inter, Napoli et al. Speculation in the Spanish press that he was going to come to Newcastle with the rest of the staff. So really strange he hasn't. Hope we stay up and he joins in the summer.

I thought we would keep Cathro given the Valencia connections.

 

Dear me.

Well I thought correctly didn't I? 

[Foluwashola]

Exotic names. The type i'd click on playing Football Manager. Exciting times.

Probably took one look at the goal Elliot allowed against Stoke and nope octopus-ed away in horror.

Cathro had less direct unput than Simpson and Black with McClaren.

[BrettNUFC]

Pleased he's kept Cathro at the club. He could be utter dog shite for all I know but he's highly rated and has talked sense when he's spoke in his interviews.

 

Hated that Steve Black though so glad he's been sacked off.

Hated him why? Genuine question. Only time I saw him was when he was trying to rally the dafties on the pitch pre-match once.

You don't have to be knacker every time you post, you know.

Bit like Cathro in sense he could be absolutely brilliant or dog shit for all I know. It was more his little grins and smiles similar to McClaren when things aren't all rosey that just done my head in. Won't be seeing him on the pitch arms around their shoulders, laughing and joking anymore.

[Darth Crooks]

Steve Black had the most nothing job in sport.

[Guest Howaythetoon]

Black is so 1990s. He methods and philosophies don't wash in the mordern game. He may be able to help certain individuals, but a whole team? I'm sure it was his idea to stage behind closed door matches with local sides which we all know went great...

[Guest]

You get the feeling the club see Cathro as the long term fit for the club mind.

[BillClinton]

Maybe the compromise was that he had to keep the GK coach to have someone local on the staff?

Who could be in early to open up?

FYP, incredibly really

 

Is Cathro assistant manager still?

[Mole_Toonfan]

He's still here, no idea what his role actually is.

Blackie did a motivational presentation at my work a couple of years ago. I've never seen so many PowerPoint slides in my life, he talked for about 2 hours with the most uninspiring slides

 

I can just imagine him doing that with a bunch of our foreign lads just thinking shut the fuck up

As if he actually regularly did hour long team meetings with a Premier League football team man Also shows how weak McClaren was allowing him to do it

[Skeletor]

Has Dr Death Derek Wright survived again?

[last_monetarist]

Mentioned in his interview that he received strong references relating to Cathro and Smith. Don't think Benitez would have kept them on if he hadn't. Although, I do think there is a justifiable element behind having local knowledge among the staff. Pecchia was brought in to his staff at Napoli because he wanted that local expertise. Similarly, I recall he had Sammy Lee as coach at Liverpool.
