hakka Posted November 3, 2021 Share Posted November 3, 2021 I think the the timing of the club purchase in tandem with with winless streak start is part of the problem here. Whomever comes in has to ride out a load of shit and sort out the club from top to bottom while also trying to ensure by January we are not so knee deep in a relegation battle. Trying to sign genuine first team players you have to look down the list for players who would even want to be here given it might still be a relegation battle, especially if they would be jettisoned once the club could attract the talent it really wants. That's my negative stance on this on my top coaches may look and think "it's too much of a ball ache, come back when your top 10 stuff and want to improve on that". I suspect press are clutching every day like I said in my other post, perfect click bait shit this. You can write anyone is coming or rejecting us and it will get attention.

Craig Hope's response today will be interesting If you’re a journalist you don’t put your credibility on the line and report the stuff about Emery for bantz. They were briefed.

Aye, that's how I read it too. Personally speaking, if you gave me a choice of (a) an embarrassing winter of multiple managerial rejections leading to a dream ticket combo of Roy Hodgson and Joe Kinnear relegating us and the Saudis quietly selling us in the summer vs (b) Mike Ashley and Steve Bruce being here in perpetuity, I would still have been considering the positives of (a) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miggys First Goal Posted November 3, 2021 Share Posted November 3, 2021 Wondering who, if anyone, is advising the owners at this point on football matters, or are they just throwing shit at the wall and seeing what sticks? We need to start appointing people in important roles if we want to appear to be a professional outfit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair enough really, as it’s not clear what he’s be doing once we have a DoF and wider structure in place. It probably does mean they’re going it alone though. And that’s fine. Emery is/was a good choice. Based on that alone they can identify good people. However they’ve dropped a colossal bollock by leaking anything to the media when talks were at such an embryonic stage.

B-more Mag Posted November 3, 2021 Share Posted November 3, 2021 It's frustrating having our search go on like it is while Spurs flip Nuno for Conte in like...a day.

hakka Posted November 3, 2021 Share Posted November 3, 2021 We managed to attract Rafa under Mike Ashley with ten games to go to certain relegation. He came, and even he stayed beyond relegation. We are in a magnificent position compared to that, so I am confident we can attract a top manager/coach still - you have to take all the press and Twitter stuff with pinch of salt at moment. We know an appointment has to be soon, it's just so damn under the microscope from the media because of the magnitude of what it could mean based on the money Newcastle could spend with that new manager. The circus will drive us mad until this is sorted. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The whole leak thing bothers me (only slightly). The first few weeks were water tight and only in the last 48 hours has info started to appear. After the numerous failed takeovers, I would have thought that Staveley would have learnt to keep quiet until it was 100% signed, unless this is a crude tactic to apply pressure on Emery for a quicker response. Either that, or we had received some sort of verbal confirmation from their side that it was happening, and the Emery camp are now fucking us around, for more money and/or leverage.

So it makes sense how quickly they could come crawling back and offer exactly what he asked of them originally and it be sorted. Here we are trying to interview a range of candidates from the beginning and then compare. That's not as simple or comparable.

Emery will have been privy to more people information than we have so will make a judgment based on that. If it is just running us within our means it’s a bit of an uphill battle to pull us out of the relegation zone and, to a manager currently in the Champions League, possibly isn’t worth the risk.

It could all be lost in translation but I read it as we don’t have structures in place yet, things are probably going to change as we spend/grow so he thinks there’ll be a high turnover in coaches.

There's no way they'd buy us at our most vulnerable, go after star studded managers and say "there's no budget for signings" during a relegation battle, when they've already said they will invest. Nobody would touch us of any top quality if that were true. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
