ScottishMagpie Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 Still can't understand this appointment. What does bringing in a extra coach do? Has it taken him 1.5 seasons to register "I know what I need around here, I need another coach". I know very little about the bloke but doesn't sound like he's going to revolutionise the we we train/play. He's going to come in and work within the Steve's framework, suggest using different coloured cones and that will be it. If he does have a dramatic effect on us then it just shows there was problems needing fixed (despite what Bruce has been saying) and also if one coach can have such an effect then he deserves the head coach position surely? Or is this the board looking at wider picture and putting in place a possible structure should they get to the point of binning cabbage heid? That credits them with a degree of foresight seldom shown previously under this regime. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

astraguy Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 Schar one of the rumoured players played like a man on a mission to get the team forward to win , ASM was happy n lively He is still fucking here without a hint of presure on him , one thing that stood out for me in the second half was the story about him losing the players was bollocks Why is it bollocks? Because they performed a bit better against a newly promoted team, who stood off, sat back on a lead and who are not very good at defending. We still lost and they all still looked thoroughly fed up, clueless on what they're meant to be doing and on the whole, going through the motions.

Also it doesn’t have to every single player wants him gone. Only takes a few. Also ASM probably just happy to be playing again Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geordinho Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 See his wiki has already been updated: "Graeme Anthony Jones (born 13 March 1970) is an English professional football manager and former player who played as a forward. He is currently first team coach at Newcastle United. He then proceeded to play aggressive attacking football after telling steve bruce to "do one cabbage heed"."

It really is like he’s the new manager Was thinking that earlier in the week about when Bruce arrived. There was no video like above, and just a statement on the club website with a few quotes, and dont even remember any pics 'holding scarf/shirt'. And certainly don't remember him being welcomed onto the pitch at his first home match or anything. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gjohnson Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 Looks like the number 2 in any ITV detective series Still don't get how this is going to help...this guy hasn't pulled up any trees anywhere he's been, and isn't exactly a 'yoing' up and coming star since he's 50 already, with his last involvement being taking Bournemouth down. Maybe he's brought in to teach players what relegation looks like Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRon Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 Honestly, thought I’d wake to him being sacked this morning. If the second half had been anything like the first half he would have been gone IMO, no one could watch that and see where the next point was coming from. Ashley is praying for a win in the next couple of games otherwise he'll have to act. We still need 17 points from somewhere, and the games are going to start running out.
