I'd still like us to go for Potter. He's just a class act.

 

No. Just no.

 

He'd be massively underwhelming considering some of the other names supposedly looked at.

 

Probably wouldn't be instantly hated like Lampard or Rooney, but would have to get results pretty quick to get any sort of good will that a Fonseca/Ten Haag/Le Favre would get immediately

Oh, I like that a lot. Great they are looking at someone for the short and long term and no temp managers.

 

Should have released something like that earlier though. Would have spared a lot of soiled mattresses.

Somehow doubt it with some folk here.

Wew, the crazy animals. No first, second or third interviews with a clutch of potential candidates over a period of weeks?  They should have went down the Squid Game process we are doing. Last man standing gets the job.

 

They took over two months to replace Mourinho in the summer, mind.

2 months it took them, then they panicked. It's a fair point but the spurs situation in the summer was a botch job, probably one of the worst i've seen for a while so comparing our time taken to theirs doesn't bode well or tbh, do us any justice. Let's hope we're not flapping around, I honestly think we haven't even got to the stage of offering contracts where Spurs had offered 2 or 3 managers contracts and withdrew or moved targets.


That was a Spurs with an established leadership structure and much more pulling power than us, like. They had Paratici already committed too, whereas we’ve got nowt on the DoF/Sporting Director front.

 

Is it not just clear at this point that Staveley and Reuben have been doing all the initial legwork before presenting their final shortlist to PIF? That shortlist might contain both managers and DoFs/Sporting Directors, so it’s understandable that it would take longer than normal.

 

I’d have liked an instant hire, but we also didn’t have the benefit of being able to tap people up. It’s clear Spurs would only have sacked Nuno after sounding Conte or whoever out to avoid another farce.

Yeah, but in that time they essentially appointed Fonseca, then changed their mind because their new DOF thought his philosophy was too attack minded, then essentially appointed Gattuso, then changed their mind again when people pointed out that he'd made homophobic comments in the past.

Yeah, the idea Spurs are any type of model to follow is not correct.

 

They had a fantastic young manager that essentially took the team they have right now to the Champions League final and they binned him off :lol:

 

Everyone kills Dele now, but my God he was right there featuring prominently in that team, and now look at the state of him. Poch was so good at Spurs man, just the perfect fit, and they blew it.

 

Since then its been a complete farce. Just chasing their own tail.

Emery fits the bill both short and long term as well IMO

They're the basket case of the 'big 6', how many top class managers to they have to hire and fire before they realise the manager is not the issue there? Conte would be mad to agree to be their manager.

They've become us after Sir Bobby.

 

Looking for a solution to a problem they didn't really have in the first place, and getting the answer wrong very quickly. Admittedly 10 games is a very short time to panic with a new manager.

We can’t talk to him without asking his club first 

They have a big champions league game this week he isn’t going to come out and say yeah I’m going and nor would his club. I’m not saying we are getting him but he’s not going to admit we are either way.

good article for all the doom merchants.

 

"We want to take the decision as quickly as possible because there is some urgency but it will not be at the expense of taking the right decision," a source said.

"But the right decision long-term will be the right decision for the short-term as well."

 

“the view of those at the centre of the black and white storm - the new long-term custodians of Newcastle United - remains unchanged: get this huge decision right rather than make a knee jerk call. The right man, if you will, rather than Mr Right Now.”

 

 

Good article but on the other hand they can’t come out and say that then we end up with Howe, Martinez, Lampard etc.

If a manger knocks us back then they weren’t the man for us anyway. I guess we want someone who relishes the challenge of being able to turn this shitshow around but also having the funds available to do that. If that scares anyone then thanks but no thanks.

Yup, the team used to be so energetic and high tempo and the chemistry between the trio of Kane, Son and Alli was devastating.

 

Now Dele and Kane are both disillusioned for deifferent reasons and it's just ca complete mess. It's pretty shocking how quickly that whole thing turned.

 

Mourinho played a big part in that too. Quite happy he wasn't available when we got taken over. That guy can be so toxic, completely destroyed so many of their players' confidence.

Seems like it’s narrowing down to:

 

Fonseca

Favre

Martinez

Howe

Lampard

 

Presuming the media know anything at all, of course.

 

Would take any of them aside from Lampard and Martinez.

 

People can call it bedwetting if they want but we need a new manager in as soon as humanely possible. We're running out of games and if Jones is still in charge for Brighton we'll lose that too, more players out of position, underperformers consistently picked, same shite Brucetastic tactics and subs. We may get the cliché that is the new manager bounce if one is appointed. Who knows?

 

The side seems to be getting worse by the game, more points adrift by the week, games running out with that aids run in December coming up. Hey ho. It may well be sorted in the upcoming break but the performances v Palace and on Saturday has made me think we're almost certain to go down and the more certain we'll be the longer we take.
