SteV Posted July 24, 2025 Share Posted July 24, 2025 If we go on to have a good season (insert your own version of ‘good’) after all this, he goes down as our best manager in living memory IMO. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanj Posted July 24, 2025 Share Posted July 24, 2025 He turned a dressing room with turned heads into a 5th place team and nearly snatched 2nd place. He won us our first cup in 70 years and he got us 2 CL births at that. Fucking hung out to dry by the club time and time and time again. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RodneyCisse Posted July 24, 2025 Share Posted July 24, 2025 If this window continues down this same shit show route, pressure off. Let’s see what he delivers, if anything a mega window would be pressure beyond belief with how the media would have spun it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paully Posted July 25, 2025 Share Posted July 25, 2025 He’s been hung out to dry by those above him. I bet he can’t wait for his first presser over there. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Menace Posted July 25, 2025 Share Posted July 25, 2025 Let's be honest we're a mid table team without this man. We need to make our voices heard next season so he knows how much we appreciate him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NUFCDoog Posted July 25, 2025 Share Posted July 25, 2025 I don't think he will, but this sort of window, coupled with the board disruption over the past couple of years, does give sense that a manager would walk. Keegan would have been gone by now, but im not sure Eddie would, unless he got a good offer from somewhere i guess, like if England came calling now, and obviously I know they wont, id expect he'd consider it a lot more with thr current situation.

Dr.Spaceman Posted July 25, 2025 Share Posted July 25, 2025 Eddie's got to be wondering what's left for him to achieve at the club. I think he'll be here until the end of his contract but beyond that I don't know, without a significant rule change there is very little point in plodding on.

Stuy_O Posted July 25, 2025 Share Posted July 25, 2025 The club is obviously a bit of a shambles currently but he isn’t blameless. Never give a manager full control over signings - it’ll be a disaster. Our recruitment has been unbelievably poor this summer and these are his targets - all players attracting interest from cartel clubs - what did he expect? If you go after them you need to be ruthless and present a project worth playing for, but he has his nephew negotiating the deals and he appears to be useless. He’s complained non stop about PSR, with that in mind being creative in this window was a must. I’ve seen people citing he wants established players and I get that, but he himself was quoted not long ago that’s extremely difficult for us to do.

He shouldn’t dictate the transfers. No competent club has that structure. I don’t blame him for the transfer window at all. He’s doing the best he can.

Stuy_O Posted July 25, 2025 Share Posted July 25, 2025 That 12 minutes ago, huss9 said: What is it then. Think I've misunderstood. We have gone for players that seemingly looked unrealistic given the interest from other clubs and the wages they can offer. Nearly all based in the premier league. These are his targets. To me that looks like very little homework or pre planning has gone into it. Not solely on the manager obviously - the lack of a structure is killing Newcastle atm. Again we’ve bleated about PSR for so long but have played right into its hands this summer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Displayname Posted July 25, 2025 Share Posted July 25, 2025 Don't really get why Eddie would feel let down by the club, the money is clearly available this summer. Not PIFs fault that he and his nephew are only going after players who don't want to come here. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crimson Cardigan Posted July 25, 2025 Share Posted July 25, 2025 I find all this criticism of the nephew to be pretty mean spirited. By all accounts he was heavily involved in some of our best signings, and is assumed to be at fault because he’s related to Eddie and other teams have been financially blowing us out of the water. it reminds me of when Hughes at Bournemouth was linked here as DOF and people were like: oh look, another one of Howes hopeless mates. now he’s at Liverpool and running the game.
