LRD Posted February 17, 2022 Share Posted February 17, 2022 Probably Mourinho trying to use us to get what he wants from their owners. Our owners are looking long term development, community involvement and have backed Howe. Contrary to the short term gain under a Mourinho management.

McDog Posted February 17, 2022 Share Posted February 17, 2022 I think the local term in England is bollocks. I'd say here locally for me it's pure bullshit. No way in hell. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know that Newcastle, who have an unlimited budget and are currently the richest club in the world, are thinking seriously about him. “Roma, on the other hand, are a team that has big flaws and with which it is difficult to build a game: it’s not good for him, but it’s not good for many other coaches… “That Mourinho will stay in June, I have big doubts…” In addition to all that bollocks, his sense of entitlement is off the charts if the quotes are to be believed. "He won't stay here and take four goals off Verona." Get to fuck, man, it's literally your job to not have your team ship goals. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
buzza Posted February 17, 2022 Share Posted February 17, 2022 The way eddie has transformed the team and the performances is beyond what I imagined. Yes, the early results just did not click, a bit unlucky or just couldn´t completely shed the rot from previous regimes managers. He will 100% get the chance to develop the team and turn us into a more possession based team when we get better players (a la Guimares). he will have 2-3 years to establish us close to the top end of the prem, if he does well he will stay and hopefully set up a legacy. Seems a sound bloke as well to top it all off!! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingxlnc Posted February 17, 2022 Share Posted February 17, 2022 If anything, we should be in the position post-Howe to get the 'next' Mourinho, the highly rated guy at Sporting Lisbon instead of the past it version. Even though I do like Mourinho and he obviously has affection for Mr Robson's club. But no point even entertaining this, we are all hoping Howe is the next Keegan, survive this year then have a few title tilts in the coming years and even to win something, finally.

Hanshithispantz Posted February 17, 2022 Share Posted February 17, 2022 Mourinho would be an absolute disaster, no chance we'll even consider it Howe was always one for the future anyway, the fact he's also looking like he was a great choice to quick fix this squad is a bonus.

Emotic Posted February 17, 2022 Share Posted February 17, 2022 Yeah, apart from the Unai Emery blip, the recruitment strategy for executive and coaching staff seems to be focused on progressive and "home-grown". It's clever too, a low-hanging fruit for easy acceptance by fans in the short-term, and if they pull it off, a core staff of successful British managerial and management talent to showcase in the long-term. Takes some of the attention away from the owners. That Mourinho link is so far removed from what we have evidently been looking for that it is almost laughable. It's the managerial equivalent of signing a stroppy Ibrahimovic. He was progressive 15 years ago, not any longer. And he is the opposite of someone who we need to lift the playing staff and the fans.

nbthree3 Posted February 17, 2022 Share Posted February 17, 2022 Howe will take us as far as he can and until that invisible ceiling's reached no point worrying about who might come after him personally... but if the club want to be prepared they'll always be making contingency plans hopefully Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nbthree3 Posted February 17, 2022 Share Posted February 17, 2022 Has some nice quotes from the programme last week https://www.shieldsgazette.com/sport/football/newcastle-united/newcastle-united-captain-jamaal-lascelles-revealing-behind-the-scenes-insight-3572827 Jamaal Lascelles, in his programme column for last weekend’s 1-0 win over Aston Villa, said Howe was the “first one into the training ground, doesn't go home until late at night”. “He puts absolutely everything into us doing well on a matchday,” said Newcastle’s captain. “You can see how much effort and passion and love he puts into the job.” This is more a full-time job, and Howe has set the tone at the club with his work ethic. The club’s players and staff are working hard – and the team’s getting results. Howe’s predecessor didn’t think that there was much that could be done while six of his players were away on international duty, and he angrily responded to a question about his time away from the training ground following a 4-1 defeat to Manchester United at Old Trafford. Bruce said: "Do you think I really have to answer that to you? That's what the fans are asking, are they? We have trained all week, and we were in every day. The preparation was meticulous, let me tell you. "There is nothing more in preparation (that could have been done). What was I supposed to do? We had six of them away. The preparation was fine, absolutely fine, and we’ve been in all week. You could see the game plan was, what we worked to.” Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going on holiday after a horrible, winless start start to the season... and giving his reason as "what am I supposed to do? we had six of them away" unbelievable, how about coach the fucking squad you fat prick. Its not even like our big hitters were away. Jamal Lewis- glued to the bench Schar- was benched for Clark.... Fraser- told he couldnt get into the side unless he learned to play a box to box midfielder role Hendrick- never used Almiron and Krafth were the only ones in and around the first team. he tried to make it seem like it was just a few under 23 lads hanging around the training ground. God i hate that stupid cunt with a passion. still boils my blood. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ste Posted February 17, 2022 Share Posted February 17, 2022 Football365 are renowned for not having a clue, aren't they? Not a chance the owners would sit back and hear the fans supporting Howe, the team winning 3 on the bounce, and think Mourinho is the answer. There isn't even a question at the moment.

He's from the same school of thought as that other brainless dunce Pardew. want to improve the defense? throw another CB on the pitch. Front foot attacking football? more strikers on the pitch for fret.

gbandit Posted February 17, 2022 Share Posted February 17, 2022 Which player is going to be inspired by Bruce to become better? They’re looking at a guy who’s gone to seed who has no ambition other than to stay on the gravy train for as long as possible. With Howe, he’s setting a model for everyone in the club to follow. It’s amazing how simply someone with those standards can change the tone of the environment. It’s not just that he’s better in every facet of the game than Bruce and the PFM counterparts but he genuinely loves the job and wants to be the best he can be. Who else can you say that about? Only the top guys like Rafa, Guardiola etc. Howe’s attitude is the best thing about him, it’s positive and it’s flowing through the whole team now Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
