Could I ask a wee favour? I've said before that I lost my love for football gradually over the last 14 years and with that went a lot of my knowledge on current players and managers. 

 

It's a bit of an ask but any chance anyone could put together a list of the main contenders with their styles, pros and cons? Not War and Peace, just a couple of lines. I'm really not sure who I should be rooting for so I stuck to what I know and picked Rafa in the survey. I'm so out of touch and kinda a little embarrassed to ask.

Fonseca 

Pros: suave bastard, plays pretty football, his sides are well coached offensively.

Cons: his style of play requires players who are comfortable on the ball and full backs who aren't Matt Ritchie, his sides tend to concede a few goals, he hasn't done it on a cold Wednesday night at Burnley.

 

Favre

Pros: experience of improving struggling sides, plays decent football, astute in the transfer market.

Cons: his sides tend to struggle defensively, his in-game tactics are limited, he hadn't done it on a cold Thursday night at Norwich.

 

Howe 

Pros: took a league two side and became an established Premier league club, plays decent football, he has done it on a cold Friday night at Huddersfield.

Cons: his sides tend to be defensively ropey, he paid circa sixty million quite for Jordan Ibe and Dominic Solanke, he's a soft southerner.

 

Martinez 

Pros: his sides play decent football, he won the FA Cup, he finished 5th in the greatest league in the whole wide world.

Cons: he doesn't know how to organise a defensive unit, he once called Tom Cleverly technically as good as it gets, he has relegated a side and was well on his way to with a second.

Got a horrible feeling the manager will be Lampard. I think he's already been told and the consortium are focussing all their efforts on getting the right DoF.

God I hope you're wrong. It's as if we are never really allowed to be fully happy as Newcastle fans.

Bruce:

 

Pros: Fast food sector will show enormous growth. Tactics will baffle Man City analysts.

Cons: his style of play requires players who are uncomfortable on the ball and full backs who are Matt Ritchie.

 

 

So much could go in there :lol:

Where in the merry hell have you conjured this from?

Pretty sure Xavi turned Barca down a few years ago as they were a bit of a mess even then , can’t see why he would think they are any better now .  Any half decent manager would be mad to go to them at the minute and they can’t pay much anyway so that rules out Ten Hag. I think they will end up with Martinez which is good news for us.

Until proven otherwise I’m choosing to believe the Lampard rumours are driven by his agent.

I haven't read any rumours, tbh. The thing that makes me think this is that he publicly withdrew from the conversation.

Thank you so much. This is ridiculously appreciated.

I just think it is great that none of these names, or any other news at all about a D o F or Manager/Head Coach, has come from our new owners.

 

No leaks - deliberate or otherwise - have come out at all.

 

Everything we have been told by journalists is (at best) 100% guesswork, or (at worst) 100% malicious rumour-mongering.

 

We are now in high calibre and safe hands . . . so different it is hard to get used to it !!!
