You can have a non-alcoholic, low key Chrisas 'party' (which it seems he's done), it doesn't have to be a radge piss up.

Heron Posted December 11, 2021 Share Posted December 11, 2021 (edited) It's a message to the fans though isn't it, and the players? "We don't accept our position. We will work hard to get out of it. We are better than this." Personally, after 2 years off I couldn't give a shit if they cancel a Christmas party. They get paid well enough and have been underperforming (albeit because of the previous regime). It's time for them to roll their sleeves up and show why they want to be at this version of Newcastle. They can celebrate after each good result or when we stay up in May. Edited December 11, 2021 by Heron Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hanshithispantz Posted December 11, 2021 Share Posted December 11, 2021 (edited) If I was working for a company though and they told me "performances are down so we're cancelling the Christmas party" it would just piss me off, not motivate me to work harder. I heard it in the pub so never got the full story, thought it was a bit of a PFM move but it seems like he's just scaled it back which is fair enough.

thomas Posted December 11, 2021 Share Posted December 11, 2021 aye he's probably just using the convenient excuse of "there's still a global pandemic raging that has a new highly infectious variant" to come down harsh on the lads. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand I just don't see how it reduces the chances by any meaningful margin. They're with each other every day. They went for a meal at a resteraunt instead. It would have made more sence to just get pissed in Eddis Howe's garden if reducing the risk or covid was absolute priority.

Amir_9 Posted December 12, 2021 Share Posted December 12, 2021 We've let go games that we could have won or got more from based on these nonsense decisions. Anyone knows that our best pairing is Schar and Fernandes. All this Shelvey, Joelinton and "positive approach" + good PR crap means fuck all if you handicap yourself in this manner.

Yorkie Posted December 12, 2021 Share Posted December 12, 2021 Today's the only one where I think we've really, properly fucked it, as a collective.

Menace Posted December 12, 2021 Share Posted December 12, 2021 (edited) I wasn't sold on the idea of him getting the job, still ain't. 5 games in, I think the only player that has looked better under him is Joelinton. Defensively I could argue we look even worse than before. We're not staying up with this guy at the helm. Edited December 12, 2021 by Menace Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
et tu brute Posted December 12, 2021 Share Posted December 12, 2021 Seen nothing to really suggest my initial thoughts that he was totally the wrong manager to appoint in our situation.
