Interesting that the other remnant Steves aren't there. Hopefully a sign they're on the way out when this new manager comes in. More likely that they are a pair of lazy cunts like the old gaffer.

Chris_R Posted October 25, 2021 Share Posted October 25, 2021 Feels a bit weird seeing a Newcastle manager, even a caretaker, taking their job seriously and being professional. It'll never catch on. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rafalove Posted October 25, 2021 Share Posted October 25, 2021 Wonder if there’s a job as u23’s head coach being lined up for him. He’d be a good appointment. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally I wouldn't give him a choice of a step down as he would be straight out of the door as soon as a new manager is appointed with his own coaching staff.

Rafalove Posted October 25, 2021 Share Posted October 25, 2021 Yeah, it would be. But he loves the club doesn’t he? And it will be a role with more prestige you’d imagine in the future. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont hate him, just think if hes manager for any period of time were fucked. If he stays on as assistant to a strong manager im happy, same if he went to another role. I think he obviously has something- but should not be the main man. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Prophet Posted October 25, 2021 Share Posted October 25, 2021 While I certainly don't think he's the answer, I am appreciative that he did his part keeping us up last season. Before his arrival, we were in free fall. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Prophet Posted October 25, 2021 Share Posted October 25, 2021 I'd love to know what happened through the summer. We ended last season playing the split striker system and pressing high up the pitch, it wasn't great but we at least pinched the odd result. The new season comes around and we're back to 5-4-1 and 30% possession. I wonder if the dusty one made a power play while Jones was on England duty.

Raconteur Posted October 25, 2021 Share Posted October 25, 2021 (edited) Weird seeing a manager recognise issues and act on them - even if I don’t like his solutions.

Long throws are for shit, but it's a step up from every attacking throw in leading to a turnover. Seemed to get no attention too, in an era where clubs employ throw in coaches.

He needs to stay in the new set up Would much rather the new manager brings in his own team that he wants to work with. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
