Tiresias Posted January 6, 2018 Share Posted January 6, 2018 He'd been trying to back to Olympiakos since summer, don't think he was going anywhere else, probably why fee is so low. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

54 Posted January 6, 2018 Share Posted January 6, 2018 "The club itself is understood to be open to the idea of helping the manager but Benitez still has no idea of the parameters within which he is working." That's good of them Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Infinitely Content Posted January 6, 2018 Share Posted January 6, 2018 6 days into what could be a decisive window and the club announces the staggering news that they are open to helping the manager Incredible scenes, what next? "Mike is just still trying to get logged into his online banking to see what kind of coin we're looking at. He can't remember if it was a number 0 or a letter O he used, ever the innovator is Mike".

Same assuming Ashley still owns us on Feb 1. A fit Danny Ings could make a huge difference, but obviously a risk. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

His people or the club will have briefed the press off the record. It's how it works. I know how it works. I've worked in newspapers and it'll most certainly not be the club. That particular piece is utter twaddle. Rob Draper saying, we're "hopeful" of getting Kenedy on loan yet on December 20 had a piece from their own Craig Hope saying it's "secure". That's just filler copy, nowt more. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg Posted January 7, 2018 Share Posted January 7, 2018 That's all well and good and probably correct. I still wouldn't expect quotes. Rafa has a man working for him to brief the press, has worked for him for years, yet when what he briefs is in the paper you won't see any quotes.

Still find it odd he’d brief Rob Draper but not Craig Hope, who works for the same paper, is paid to cover NE football and sits in on every presser. The Mail/Mail on Sunday are the only ones running that line so far as well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We see articles about NUFC in the press all the time without quotes that often turn out to be true so it's not exactly a surprise to see articles like this without quotes, bollocks or not.
