Not sure why he'd even bother having the interview if that was the case. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know he has links to Sir Bobby and always said nice things about us but he is the total opposite to him. Bobby was a gentleman and would never place the blame on individual players. I don't think he would like the way Mourinho treats people tbh. Think he'd be a good fit for us at this time tbh. He's a brilliant organiser, he understands and probably shares the football obsession we have up here, and if the takeover had happened in the summer, I think he would have jumped at the chance to manage Newcastle.

Imagine him trying to get the current batch of players to play a possession style of football Have we had even one match in the league with more than 45% possession the last 3 seasons? These other managers work on this stuff in training constantly though, and so the team will surely improve on it a lot. We look so bad and think our players are totally incapable of playing any kind of possession football because they only train 3 days a week, and when they do actually train only God knows what nonsense they were doing under Bruce.

KaKa Posted October 21, 2021 Share Posted October 21, 2021 Martinez scares me man. I really like the guy, but I just don't think it would work for some reason. The worry is that if they start getting too into the experience of the league malarkey he will be one of the favourites. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kid Icarus Posted October 21, 2021 Share Posted October 21, 2021 Does Martinez have something on everyone in the game or something? Never known such a mediocre manager be linked to and get jobs that seem so far beyond their capabilities. He's like the Jermaine Jenas of management.

TRon Posted October 21, 2021 Share Posted October 21, 2021 Martinez was an up and coming manager about 15 years ago, I still like him generally, just think he's been surpassed by far savvier new breeds these days. He seems almost old school by comparison. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know what you mean and feel the same. When Rafa was here, it seemed the only thing holding him back was not having owners who matched his ambitions for the team. Now they are here, it's a shame he isn't. However, now he's at Everton and he's not one to break a contract. I am excited to see who we get in though and I think we can all agree whoever it is will be far better than what we've just had. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel we will see a massive difference in the players now Bruce has gone, that lift alone should help us out while we make sure we bring the right person in for the job. If we had kept Bruce on while we took our time to find a new manager though, I would have been more worried, but now he is gone, the total lift in mood should help everyone. When you see comments like ASM then I can't see the mood being lifted that much. Just makes me think we've got a bunch of workshy keents.

SUPERTOON Posted October 21, 2021 Share Posted October 21, 2021 Anyone else read the latest Athletic article ? Seems we are a few weeks away from an appointment yet and seems the consortium are having the exact conversations we are as in are Martinez Fonseca and favre going to be able to sort out the defence ? Also seems like Jones could well stay in charge if he impresses short term ( which I don’t personally think he will). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

HaydnNUFC Posted October 21, 2021 Share Posted October 21, 2021 The Athletic is really good for opinion or insightful pieces into tactics, players, managers, how clubs operate, et cetera. It's not good for breaking news like transfers or managerial appointments imo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
