Chelsea game, then a new manager to have the international break.

Why do people keep thinking there's an international break after the Chelsea game? We have Brighton away the week after Chelsea, then the international break.

We keep hearing about shortlists for managers and DOF/spirit director, is it safe to assume if someone is on the shortlist they have already made their interest in the role known ?

Expand  

Nope, I’d presume the shortlist is that belonging to the consortium of those people who they want to sound out/interview. For example, they’d undoubtedly have had Rafa on the shortlist- he wouldn’t have informed them he’d be interested though.

Think Ten Hag is the most exciting manager we could get, but think for both parties it would be better if he waited until the summer

Why would it be better for us to wait until the summer? By that point, hopefully we’d still be in the PL and other managers could come into the picture.

Can get what he said https://sportwitness.co.uk/eric-ten-hag-directly-addresses-newcastle-united-rumours-following-marc-overmars-reports/

 

Relayed by SoccerNews.nl, he said: “The positional of technical director is one for the long term. Marc set things in motion a few years ago. He did this from a certain vision, he introduced structure and managed. It’s started to grow and I don’t think the process is over yet.

“Marc hasn’t informed me [about the Newcastle interest]. I don’t think he’s withholding anything from me either. I’m not working on [going to Newcastle] and now is definitely not the time”.

I think he ruled himself out, but then he said Overmars wouldn't be moving either, and apparently he's opened talks with Newcastle. 

Expand  

Don’t think he ruled himself out- just said along the lines of “it’s not the right time” or similar. Definitely not a ‘no’, and seemingly just being professional to Ajax.

Well depends if we'd be able to get somebody else competent in but think there's a decent chance it could go badly wrong if he's trying to implement his style with this group of players with practically no extended training time

It would also from his point of view be a crazy time to move. Ajax are absolutely flying domestically and in Europe and he could conceivably get any job that becomes available in world football if he just waited until the summer

Could always look back at what managers have said - Bruce for example though it's best to leave him and that thread at the bottom of the forum - before we approached him 

 

No surprise, he was on holiday... this time in pre-season so maybe slightly more tolerable

 

"Maybe because I'm from Newcastle [is why my name has been mentioned]," he told Radio Sheffield.

 

"But no, I've been on holiday. I never take any notice of all that sort of speculation or tittle-tattle because the way the newspapers are today, no disrespect, I think there have been 150 managers associated with Newcastle. I would suppose I'm going to be one of them."

I'd be amazed if Ten Hag was a possibility.

Expand  

Why? Genuine question. He’d be on a pittance in wage compared to probably even an English Championship manager. Know he’s currently in the CL but this gives him an opportunity to progress his career onto a previously unimaginable path, which I think he’d be interested in.

While the Newcsstke job has great potential, it still has an incredible amount of risk attached at this moment in time. Bigger, better offers will be made to him in the coming months.
