B-more Mag Posted October 12, 2021 Share Posted October 12, 2021 (edited) Obviously we'd all jump at the chance to have Ralph Benitez back, but, hey, we've finally got rid of Mark Ashley. Can't get everything. Edited October 12, 2021 by B-more Mag Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Menace Posted October 12, 2021 Share Posted October 12, 2021 Lampard is a very underwhelming signing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AyeDubbleYoo Posted October 12, 2021 Share Posted October 12, 2021 There doesn't seem any logical reason to give short-term or long-term manager to Lampard. Short-term he might not keep us up, long-term he's completely unproven. Really hope it's not him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest HTT II Posted October 12, 2021 Share Posted October 12, 2021 I get it now. The Saudis are crafty, by appointing Lampard we will be known as Frank Lampard’s Newcastle United and not Saudi blood money NUFC. Sports washing at its finest! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Awaymag Posted October 12, 2021 Share Posted October 12, 2021 Conte, Mourinho etc are not going to come in to NUFC, with a shit squad and is currently 2nd bottom. The next manager is a manager to get us up the league and to start to bring in better players. Hopefully we will then be in the top 10 and then the Conte/Mourinho's of this world will become interested. The next manager is not the end game, its a building block, IMHO Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

toontownman Posted October 12, 2021 Share Posted October 12, 2021 (edited) Literally the worst from the list by a country mile. I had some major knee jerk comments i just typed here and then deleted as he did do well at Derby. It was a big mistake to leave so early for Chelsea but no-one can blame him. His biggest problem was tactical naivety but more worryingly his lack of ability to work with the bigger name players and personalities they brought in and freezing others out. Trying to look glass half full, if it was an interim job maybe it would give players a boost and turn us around. He definitely has a lot to prove but would be MASSIVELY underwhelming in comparison to everyone on the list. I'd even prefer Howe or Potter, or Gerrard. From everything we have learned from his Chelsea stint this job would be a disaster waiting to happen. He comes across like the new Tim Sherwood. Cockney media darling, limited in reality. What next, Bruce as DOF? Edit: I even revised the post because I was knee-jerking and still knee-jerked more.

[b Good manager but he's already managing a brilliant club and should probably prove his credentials in the PL before sniffing around other jobs. [/b] Also, if we're happy to look at managers of other clubs then Rafa should be miles ahead in any consideration for the post. Rodgers has more than proven himself as a PL manager. How much higher can he realistically take Leicester on a consistent basis? If he reckons he’s going to have the resources here to challenge for the title like Staveley said is the long term goal, rather than a 4th-6th place team depending on what Arsenal and Spurs are doing, he might go for it.
