Collage Posted October 25, 2021 Share Posted October 25, 2021 Fonseca seems like a great fit for Newcastle United, an inspirational football romantic. But I think he’d be here already if we’d want him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Critical appointment and will decide the direction we're going to move in for the next 5+ years. Take your time, get it right, appoint them soon and back then in Jan. 100% agree, The football side of Newcastle nEeds rebuilding from the ground up a maNager can't do this on his own he needs a DOF and I tHink its vitAl they work together, Get them in by the time the international break comes around and I'll be happy Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
HaydnNUFC Posted October 25, 2021 Share Posted October 25, 2021 Voted Fonseca as he's the best most realistic option. Benitez, Rodgers and Ten Hag aren't breaking contract. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fantail Breeze Posted October 25, 2021 Share Posted October 25, 2021 Is there a better sight than Rafa tucking his glasses in his pocket after a win? I just want to hear him say “cloob” over and over again. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SUPERTOON Posted October 25, 2021 Share Posted October 25, 2021 Safe to say if they have reservations over Fonseca’s style of play currently not suited to what we need right now, they will surely then be having the same concerns over Howe and Martinez?

MrRaspberryJam Posted October 25, 2021 Share Posted October 25, 2021 (edited) Hopefully they're not having any conversations with or over Howe. Edited October 25, 2021 by Mr Raspberry Jam Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has a style of play we haven't had that since Rafa left. I don't think he will go out balls to the wall attacking until he has the right squad. The interesting thing with Fonseca is whilst he will build to his style he will change systems if his squad don't suit it. Roma is a casing point, he changed to essentially 523/343 because that suited his squad when he would normally play 4 at the back. He isn't just going to come in and expect us to be able to play balls to the wall attacking football. He pays more attention to detail than most managers. He is a football nut, like Rafa but he does like to play attacking football. If he takes over the dynamics of play will change over time. I imagine at first, he will get them fit and try to teach them to keep possession but be relatively cautious. Over time we would be very attacking. What idiots don't realise about him is that whilst it is an attacking system he would want, the defence is ridiculously well drilled. The whole team are well drilled but the defence is the most important alongside the midfielders dropping to cover wingbacks in his roma system.

matta Posted October 25, 2021 Share Posted October 25, 2021 Did not expect Rafa as a choice. Except him, Fonseca seems okey. Happy with all of them, with Bruce, Wally, Kinnear, Pardew and Big Sam fresh in memory. Fucking hell that list is depressing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lovejoy Posted October 25, 2021 Share Posted October 25, 2021 Emery for me. Knows the league, tactically very good. I really think knowledge of the league is key with this appointment, we have pretty much 0 room for error. (made choice based on Rafa being unrealsitic imo) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

STM Posted October 25, 2021 Share Posted October 25, 2021 It would make perfect sense for the consortium to want a DOF in as urgently as they want a manager. They could have huge problems if they decided to get a manager and then a DOF who had a different vision. There needs to be some synergy in what they are doing.

Favre was my preferred choice from the get go. Not based on much, mind. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
