Mid to late week announcement. Unless everyone is unanimous already and they announce it earlier. I think Jones gets the game regardless but would be nice to have the new manager get on the training pitch before. Will be great motivation for the players if they know before the game and the new manager is there watching. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would make sense to use the international break to get everything in place including the DoF. Get the Chelsea game out of the way and give the new man a decent chance of getting a result in his first game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why do people keep thinking there's an international break after the Chelsea game? We have Brighton away the week after Chelsea, then the international break.

SUPERTOON Posted October 23, 2021 Share Posted October 23, 2021 We keep hearing about shortlists for managers and DOF/spirit director, is it safe to assume if someone is on the shortlist they have already made their interest in the role known ?

triggs Posted October 23, 2021 Share Posted October 23, 2021 (edited) Think Ten Hag is the most exciting manager we could get, but think for both parties it would be better if he waited until the summer Edited October 23, 2021 by triggs Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nope, I’d presume the shortlist is that belonging to the consortium of those people who they want to sound out/interview. For example, they’d undoubtedly have had Rafa on the shortlist- he wouldn’t have informed them he’d be interested though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

McCormick Posted October 23, 2021 Share Posted October 23, 2021 Not sure how Ten Hag can turn a team seemingly afraid of keeping the ball into a dominant possession-based team ala Man City but mannn that would be an amazing hire. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nbthree3 Posted October 23, 2021 Share Posted October 23, 2021 Can get what he said https://sportwitness.co.uk/eric-ten-hag-directly-addresses-newcastle-united-rumours-following-marc-overmars-reports/ Relayed by SoccerNews.nl, he said: “The positional of technical director is one for the long term. Marc set things in motion a few years ago. He did this from a certain vision, he introduced structure and managed. It’s started to grow and I don’t think the process is over yet. “Marc hasn’t informed me [about the Newcastle interest]. I don’t think he’s withholding anything from me either. I’m not working on [going to Newcastle] and now is definitely not the time”. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don’t think he ruled himself out- just said along the lines of “it’s not the right time” or similar. Definitely not a ‘no’, and seemingly just being professional to Ajax.

Well depends if we'd be able to get somebody else competent in but think there's a decent chance it could go badly wrong if he's trying to implement his style with this group of players with practically no extended training time Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

triggs Posted October 23, 2021 Share Posted October 23, 2021 It would also from his point of view be a crazy time to move. Ajax are absolutely flying domestically and in Europe and he could conceivably get any job that becomes available in world football if he just waited until the summer Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nbthree3 Posted October 23, 2021 Share Posted October 23, 2021 Could always look back at what managers have said - Bruce for example though it's best to leave him and that thread at the bottom of the forum - before we approached him No surprise, he was on holiday... this time in pre-season so maybe slightly more tolerable "Maybe because I'm from Newcastle [is why my name has been mentioned]," he told Radio Sheffield. "But no, I've been on holiday. I never take any notice of all that sort of speculation or tittle-tattle because the way the newspapers are today, no disrespect, I think there have been 150 managers associated with Newcastle. I would suppose I'm going to be one of them." Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
