KaKa Posted July 19 Share Posted July 19 (edited) I can't believe how much this is being spun as a negative and cause for panic ... but then again, I can actually believe it. So typical. Edited July 19 by KaKa Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jigen Posted July 19 Share Posted July 19 5 minutes ago, et tu brute said: 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. Oddjob wants to fuck off also, I don't know who the fuck he thinks he is. Howe wants english and pl players. And Mitchell prefers buy abroad. Howe is a great coach but he knows only PL players and wants only PL players (an inflated market). The market is competence of the sporting director, not of the coach.

madras Posted July 19 Share Posted July 19 Wow there's some in depth reading of banal professional media speak here. Ffs many of you would panic at the 10 o'clock news meaning there won't be an 11 o'clock and the world's going to end. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless something has happened this last week which I'd be surprised about, I can't see where any boundaries are over stepped? I didn’t say they were overstepped did I? I said he’s worried they potentially might get overstepped and that’s why he wants time to establish what they are. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scoot Posted July 19 Share Posted July 19 (edited) Well put by Douglas... Howe even says in the BBC Radio Newcastle interview that the early signs are positive between him and Mitchell. Edited July 19 by Scoot Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Again, you wrongly read in to what I wrote. That’s not my fault what I meant was he’s concerned boundaries potentially may get overstepped and that’s why he wants those boundaries established. At no point did I say bounderies had already been over stepped. Mitchell has only been in the job a week ffs the key word in my original post is potentially.

Thought it was pretty clear myself You said "the other issue is lines seem to be blurred within the club". Again, no mention of that from Howe at all. I dunno man, it just frustrates the hell out of me when people (not you specifically) take the most negative spin out of a perfectly fine (and tbh pretty reassuring) interview.

I think it’s pretty clear he just wants things nailed down so there won’t be future stepping on toes which is what’s appeared to happen with Ashworth. Once bitten twice shy and all that. Really think that’s all it is. you are correct however people like to see the negative side. The comparison with Rafa is ridiculous Edited July 19 by gdm Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keegans Export Posted July 19 Share Posted July 19 He clearly wants things to be done in a particular way. We know this already - there were multiple reports that he wasn't going to commit to joining us in the first place unless he was allowed to bring key backroom staff with him. He knows ultimately it'll be his head on the chopping block if things go badly and he won't want to have transfers pushed on him or a "Performance Director" telling him who can play and when. However there's nothing in any of the interviews I've seen that suggests that is what is being proposed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ginola14 Posted July 19 Share Posted July 19 no major firesale this summer no leaks about transfers or other incomings/outgoings no signs of any unrest within the squad the way this story about Howe's comments is being portrayed just reeks of some media and fans being pretty desperate to have something to talk about and stir the pot Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

From 4.30 here he even says the early signs are promising and Mitchell is a great appointment. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/p0jcgjjr Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NUFC_Chris Posted July 19 Share Posted July 19 I watched Howe’s interview with Kieth Downie, thought it was very positive and that it should bring an end to the England talk, looked on twitter and clearly not! A lot of what’s been said has been twisted somewhat I feel. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think it’s well accepted that Ashworth and him had friction and as I’ve said he’s not wanting it to happen again so he’s getting ahead of it. We essentially agree dunno why you are arguing tbh it’s a pre-emptive warning rather than something that’s happened think Ashworth clearly pissed him off Edited July 19 by gdm Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
