Next manager will decide what kind of players we'll be able to attract. Hypothetically say we get someone like Conte. It would be a statement of intent and definitely would improve our chances of getting high profile players, massively. Compared to someone like, say Potter. There are many managers that I'd be happy with and back. Question is, how quickly does the new owners want us to become better. It will take patience and time, mistakes will be done as it's possible to get every decision right. As said before, we can't rush hour decisions either as getting it right is obviously the most important thing. No matter what happens it'll be very interesting to follow. Quite the contrast compared to before. We need to be patient too, even though its very easy to drift away :lol:

I’m not sure I fully believe the we will build slowly narrative, I just don’t see the Saudis wanting anything other than to be the biggest and best we can as soon as possible.

Conte would want control on transfers and a constant flow of players coming in as the club grows. That shouldn't be a problem, in fact it would be encouraged. He gets to build a club up whilst making a fortune, its just whether he wants to start again so low or take a safer job in a years time where half the house is already sorted.

Aurelien Tchouameni is a player he likes. I'd be ok with this. 

 

Seriously though, much rather have Conte for some reason. Feels more proven no matter how odd this may sound.

Where's the Zidane article, I can't find it on the Mirror. There was one last night mentioning him but that said "Zinedine Zidane’s name has also been mentioned as a possibility but there appears to be little appetite either to appoint the former Real Madrid chief to the up-coming vacancy."

If we climb 4 places every year the first couple of years and then use 1 to 3 years on the top 4 i would be happy. I am happy what ever happens anyway. 

 

Indeed. Hell, I'll be thrilled if "we tried" now means that we actually did!

Conte is a no brainer if he's open to it. Personality fits the club, proven winner both in the PL and abroad and has the pull in the game to attract top players. Give him what he wants.

I just can’t see Conte coming in at this very moment when we’re in the bottom three and haven’t won a game - no matter how rich we are and where our future direction takes us 

 

I'm still at the stage where every decent player and manager in the world says, 'who? Newcastle? Err, no'

 

I still can't imagine a different world no matter how much money is waved

Aye, it'll take some getting used to and can't see it from the off. If it is and we bring in Conte from the start then they aren't going to be happy until we're the best in the world. Now that would certainly take some getting used to.

The only managerial experience he has had is taking over a perennially success Champions League giant and having some success with them. He has proven nothing and I think he’s far from what we need right now

He won 3 CLs man. 3. I don’t see why people are so quick to take this away from him. It’s hard as fuck to win a CL 

 

Just would feel more comfortable with somone that has npt always just had a class team always available to him

 

But fucking hell I won't be moaning if he comes.

We understand former Borussia Dortmund boss Lucien Favre is one of those under consideration, as well as Leicester's Brendan Rodgers and Rangers boss Steven Gerrard. Current assistant head coach Graeme Jones is set to be placed in temporary charge for the sell-out clash with Spurs live on television.

Probably be easier to point out who hasn’t been linked :lol: 

 

I think it’s fairly clear, based on the fact there is nothing concrete in terms of managerial links, that they’re not planning to rush this and the Sporting Director role will be in place first.

 

Can see us sacking Bruce on Monday, Rangnick in during the week, Jones in charge on Sunday and the new manager appointed the following week.
