I could be mistaken but I'm sure some lads said that he's here because he has ties to the area. 

Yep. Has strong connection to the area and has quite specific family reasons why he's stayed local (and why he's spurned previous opportunities elsewhere).

 

The reasons his family need to stay local haven't changed, so if he was to accept a job elsewhere the family would have to have found a workaround for them.

 

He does spend a tonne of time away travelling so, in that respect, if West Ham were to give him a hybrid role, I dare say it wouldn't be that much different.

 

He'd be mad to go there mind, irrespective of the family stuff.

However, if Nickson is to serve a period of notice, that will offer Newcastle the opportunity to succession plan. What’s more, the summer strategy is already in place, with targets identified, so the short-term effect should be minimal.

If it doesn't affect this summer's recruitment then I'm not particularly exercised by it. By all accounts a talented scout and one of the good guys but with the job we've got on, we need maximum commitment and some fresh faces won't do any harm.
