If all goes to plan, we’ll be bigger than PSG, Man City, Man Utd, and certainly Brighton, and the chance to be there from the start of this journey and guide the club on its path to true greatness must (should!) be a HUGE pull. My literally alarm just went off. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Armchair Pundit Posted October 13, 2021 Share Posted October 13, 2021 There's still a few big names out there before we get to Fat Frank, I really don't rate him at all. I mean, just looking on 'available coaches' list on Transfermarkt, there's a load I'd take before him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Potter and Howe are both good British managers, just not sure they have the personality to manage big players. Would have taken either in a heartbeat prior to the takeover, but I think I'd rather cast the net abroad now. There will be some really exciting options there. That said, if we went for Potter at this stage would get behind him no problem. We don't have the big stars right now, so he could definitely do a job with the squad we've got. If we struggle to compete at the higher levels we could always look at again. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They really don't deserve for us to walk up and rob them of the manager and players, not the way we've just existed for 15 years and they've rebuilt their club top to bottom.

nbthree3 Posted October 13, 2021 Share Posted October 13, 2021 (edited) Brendan's holding out for Man City instead https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/article-10089635/Brendan-Rodgers-REJECT-approach-Newcastles-owners-holds-Man-City-job.html Sources have confirmed that the Leicester boss would feature on a shortlist to succeed Guardiola at the end of next season. He has admirers at the Etihad and was discussed as a replacement for Roberto Mancini in 2013. Rodgers’ name has been part of the conversation among Newcastle’s new owners in the past week, as have several others. However, there is a feeling that making a move for a rival top-flight boss would be politically disruptive at this stage of their ownership, even though some have said he is the best man for the role.

I’m a few years once someone else has sorted it, and got their finances straightened out. There’s no way Pep will want to be there with little chance of silverware and title hunting to add to his CV, no matter how much he loves the club.

Awaymag Posted October 13, 2021 Share Posted October 13, 2021 (edited) Wouldn't it be refreshing if Amanda came out tomorrow and said something like ' Media have linked us to 40 managers and 100 plus players so far but just want to say to NUFC fans that they should ignore everything they write as we haven't started to look yet as we are focused on getting a DOF in' Would just love that as all of it is clearly bullshit!

nbthree3 Posted October 13, 2021 Share Posted October 13, 2021 A sporting manager before a manager is the right way imo, I can trust Jones to handle the team for a few games at most. Sporting manager 1st gives them a chance to have a say over the manager, so a Rangnick figure can put someone he trusts to play the gegenpress as manager (his Russian side have just appointed Gisdol for example) rather than it be the other way round and potentially conflict. And give Rangnick whatever he wants Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ketsbaia Posted October 13, 2021 Share Posted October 13, 2021 Would've been shocked if Rodgers ditched Leicester for us - they'll be ahead of us for another 2 or 3 years and I'm not surprised Man City are interested, he's really good. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
