PauloGeordio Posted July 19 Share Posted July 19 I absolutely love Eddie to bits, but what will be will be (think he’ll be here for years to come)We are on the up with whoever we employ at whatever level within the club structure. The rest is just junk speculation. Enjoying the ride. Onwards and upwards Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whitley mag Posted July 19 Share Posted July 19 Press undoubtedly love shit like this, but think the quotes from him are very clear and he’s unsure if the current structure will work for him at this point. Amanda was his biggest fan and it’s only natural he’ll now be unsettled, he clearly wants to stay but on his terms which i would imagine includes full say on transfers.

Shadow Puppets Posted July 19 Share Posted July 19 Am I watching something different to everyone else? In both the NUFC TV interview and the BBC Newcastle interview he repeatedly says how happy he is? Isn't it obvious that he will need to continue to feel supported moving forward... not sure why that's news? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nufc123 Posted July 19 Share Posted July 19 Is he unhappy? Probably not, but hes definitely sending out some questions about the new structure. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkie Posted July 19 Share Posted July 19 Don't see a lot to get worried about but it's definitely a power play, which he's always had in his locker. Jumping to the extreme that all is not well is the type of deviant behaviour I'd expect from those who've done exactly that. There's certainly nothing to indicate he has an issue with the existence of a Sporting Director. It would be lunacy from him if he did as that has been the gig from the word go. Not to mention he's only mentioned Mitchell in entirely positive terms. He's maybe a bit uncertain about the structure and is taking the opportunity to publicly get across that that needs sorting.

Guest Posted July 19 Share Posted July 19 I mean, literally all he's said is that he wants to stay here but things have to be right. That'll be sorted once him and Mitchell start working together. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not sure how that’s fluttering his lashes to the FA it’s two seperate issues he’s no interest in the England job and wants to stay but the other issue is lines seem to be blurred within the club and he wants it sorted Where is this from? Because he says repeatedly that he feels like the new structure will work and that he's happy? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ToonToon Posted July 19 Share Posted July 19 1 minute ago, Tonalis Bookie said: "im not going to england unless I get what I want" in other words, if he doesnt, hes off. Thats how I read it? I didn't read it like that but to be honest Im not really bothered either way. Howe is great but it's clear NUFC is moving onto Phase 2 of the plan. He can either be a part of it or he wont be. Personally, I think he will be under great pressure this season as Europe is a must. Mitchell needs to bring in the new players and start re-cycling the old. If Howe objects to that then there is only one way and that is the high way. I dont think it will come to that but if it does, Eddie will get my thanks for delivering Phase 1 ahead of schedule!

et tu brute Posted July 19 Share Posted July 19 (edited) Seems to me he's just pushing the owners to make the right choices in the transfer market, which is what we all want. Of course the fannies won't see it that way. Oddbod wants to fuck off also, I don't know who the fuck he thinks he is.

Tiresias Posted July 19 Share Posted July 19 Of course he's worried about staverley going she clearly thought he was 100% the man. It is well rumoured he didn't see eye to eye with ashworth though that could be briefing after the fact. Manager wants power shock. He'll be worried new dof will be given authority to go over his head. Hopefully can prove otherwise and work well together Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

KaKa Posted July 19 Share Posted July 19 34 minutes ago, Joelinton7 said: Says he didn’t even know Southgate had left but as long as he’s supported at the club then he’ll stay. Also says there’s been zero destabilisation of anything. One in the eye for Luke. But of course we all knew Eddie would have no probs with Mitchell coming, AS going or anything else because he’s a consummate professional. Luke was going on about Howe not being spoken to about the new director of football, but from Mitchell's interview that isn't true. These journalists are a mess man.

WilliamPS Posted July 19 Share Posted July 19 He’s just venting about the PSR mess, probably didn’t want to lose Anderson, annoyed other players were offered up too. There is going to be tension between the plans to be “better sellers” and the manager wanting to keep his preferred players. Unfortunately the tension will continue due to PSR, the club just need to manage it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yorkie Posted July 19 Share Posted July 19 "What do you say to supporters worried about you going to England?" "I'm absolutely honoured and privileged to be manager of Newcastle United and I hope that's for many, many years. My commitment is unwavering, I'm determined to try and win a trophy for the football club. That's my big message." 15 minutes ago, gdm said: absolute weapon.

Ikon Posted July 19 Share Posted July 19 (edited) Overall very positive. Maybe some things didn’t need a mention, maybe it’s better to keep in-house? I mean it might just risk there being unnecessary speculation. Edited July 19 by Ikon Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yorkie Posted July 19 Share Posted July 19 Should also be said that both Eales and Mitchell have recently done interviews and spoken in absolutely glowing terms about Howe. Seems like everyone's on the same page to me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have a new man replacing Ashworth. Unless something has happened this last week which I'd be surprised about, I can't see where any boundaries are over stepped?

Dr Jinx Posted July 19 Share Posted July 19 If you've ever worked in a senior position in a company and then had someone new come in who is working over you, it is just unsettling and the natural response is to feel negative about your own position and to those above you. Now it may not be as extreme as that for Eddie but there's definitely a pissing contest brewing.. I think he won that pissing contest with Ashworth which is why the rat wanted out so soon. Mitchell won't be pushed around either politically, mentally or physically so having an option of moving to a less demanding job with nobody above him would be quite the lure.
