This thread is worse than the takeover thread was

 

"It's obvious [insert name] has turned us down"

"We're already relegated now"

"It's gonna be Tim Sherwood isn't it"

"The new owners are getting this massively wrong"

 

Fuck off.

Exactly. People need to show a bit more optimism and have a bit of faith in the new owners, they’re no mugs like. A bit of patience and we will see good things happen to club.

The point I was making earlier about London jobs,is these blokes have families wives kids who they take into consideration. They most probs would want the so called attractions of London.(too cold for them up here the wimps).

Eddie Howe is an example,his family want leave south coast.

 

Eddie Howe is a shit example.

It's clear now, why they weren't in a rush to bin Bruce. They knew they wouldn't have anyone in anyway. They probably knew that sacking Bruce would have little impact on the pitch, so long as his coaching team was still here.

[Gaztoon]

Just now, STM said:

Yep.

 

People screaming that we need someone in for Brighton, as if a manager can make such an impact in a few days.

 

An international break was always going to be key to any appointment.

 

Convinced some won't enjoy this next decade as a newcastle fan..

I don't really care if we are relegated as long as we get the manager right. It would set us back a year, but in the grand scheme of things, it means nothing. Four or five years from now, it will not make much of a difference. As long as we have ambitions, and we have plenty of that now, I'll be happy.

I'm starting to think everyone else is right - our fans are a bunch of demanding idiots.

Hope you are right about Eddie Howe

Why....Just pointing out that it's not all about the managers.

They have families,just like any of us who decided to up sticks,and wife and kids don't

This club is in a right state following Ashley’s tenure. The new owners will have so much to do and they are business people, not football experts. They’ve got football advisors but the decision making process is a pretty convoluted one given this is a consortium of 3 parties and not owned by one person. 
 

This is all going to take time and we’re gonna have to cut them some slack here. It would have been a mammoth task as it was if things had all gone to plan but they, like all of us, were massively caught on the hop here by the Premier League folding due to the legal pressure put on them and allowing the takeover through overnight after years of deadlock.

 

As well as deciding on a manager and possibly DoF they’ve got to have one eye on the January transfer window too. Then there’s staffing issues (the club was run by a skeleton crew throughout) and infrastructure and Lord knows what else.

 

This is gonna take time and yeah, it might be too late to save us this season who knows. We’re just going to have to ride this one out but let’s be clear, it’s Ashley (and on the football side,Bruce) who got us in this position, not the new owners. They’ve just got to pick up the broken pieces and I’m sure that’s what they are trying to do to the best of their abilities.

Caulkin again referencing how out of the blue and off guard the takeover caught the owners. He said they where ready for it to go through in the spring and even had bee staff in place house hunting up here ready to go. Just shows how unexpected the takeover was and might ease a few minds.

Any wife who isn't willing to leave in the North East for a couple of days a week for 5 years whilst earning a gazillion quid a year wants a divorced pronto.

 

I also think it's absolute bollocks BTW. The reason players/managers edge towards London is because Arsenal, Spurs and even West Ham haven't been ambitionless voids for the last 15 years. Funny how Manchester is manageable.

 

Perhaps when we do lure a star like Wijnaldum, we match their ambitions on the pitch. Or perhaps when we do convince Modric to look around the training ground, it's not a dilapidated mess and we don't tell his agent he is too small to play in the PL.

 

It's those things that make us unattractive, it's nowt to do with the North East weather.

That's why IMO the number one remit for the new manager absolutely has to be wife control.

Great post.

 

In addition, the new owners have engaged in a bitter fight over the better part of 18 months with a cabal of PL Clubs which were determined to block their acquisition of the club at very step. They have succeeded and have given every indication that they are in it for the long haul - to build the club back up, and to do it correctly, with the right personnel, for the long-term. Otherwise, they would've just given up at the first rebuffal last year and bought Inter Milan instead. Pride means a great deal in the Middle East and now they're in it, they won't back out easily.

 

Building for the long-term, with the right personnel from the get-go - after being caught off-guard by the eventual speed of the acquisition - is not something that will happen overnight. I'd rather they be conscientious and get the team they feel will best suit the long-term plans of the club and in so doing interview the best candidates out there and convince them that the future is bright here. It isn't easy for a club in the North East and left in a shambolic state by the previous regime. We've been patient with Mike Ashley and suffered false dawns for 14 years. I'm willing to wait for the new owners to do their business. It isn't easy, and it's only been three weeks. Be patient and everything will be all right in the end.

Big ask mind when we haven't won in 10!

 

Although I do agree with your sentiments. 28 games in order for a new manager to move us up the table 2 places. 

Aye. Haven't won in 10 but if any new manager think he can't get us 2 wins or even move us up at least 2 places, then that manager deserves to be left alone on island with Steve Bruce with only a kebab for theur survival.

We should be moving for Nuno already.
