Hhtoon Posted July 27, 2019 Share Posted July 27, 2019 That's because they don't value the role of manager - because they're stupid control freaks who have no business running a football club. Read an interesting article on Watford recently whereby they have a vision for the team/setup and any new manager is supposed to come in and work to those parameters. They have a technical Director who is responsible for the whole recruitment strategy. Point being that it stops a manager being the most important cog and more easily replaceable rather than someone coming in and demanding significant changes to the squad and starting afresh each time. I guess it might limit their ability to get some managers in who might want more autonomy but it must help with continuity. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
toon25 Posted July 27, 2019 Share Posted July 27, 2019 I wouldn’t have a problem with that if I felt the club wasn’t being run as bargain fucking basement. See: Bruce, Steve Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newcastle Fan Posted July 27, 2019 Share Posted July 27, 2019 Whoever we bring in will eventually be coached by Steve fucking Bruce so there isn't much of a point really. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest chopey Posted July 28, 2019 Share Posted July 28, 2019 So according to the newshounds at the sun we can't afford to sign Bruce's number one target Danny Rose because of his wage demands, we will offer £50k a week but he wants £60k. WTF Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toon No9 Posted July 28, 2019 Share Posted July 28, 2019 See we're being linked to swedish right-sided defender Emil Krafth from Amiens. Being from sweden myself I've seen him play a few times and think he's a solid defender but doesn't offer much going forward. Can't see him as a wingback, more off a 4-4-2 defender. Really hope we can do better than him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest covmag Posted July 28, 2019 Share Posted July 28, 2019 Bruce on SSN "irons in the fire hopefully get one or two over the line" We are back full circle to pardew. Keeps saying one or two, that in itself beggars belief.Fcb has instructed SB that younguns need to be brought through, scrape 17th and a nice Brewcie bonus for you lad.

gdm Posted July 28, 2019 Share Posted July 28, 2019 They’ll see 1 or 2 as being enough. I also expect the reason for this is Gayle, Colback and Aarons will stay and feature this season. Bleak times Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bleak times aye was gonna post earlier that as conspicuous as our lack of arrivals has been so has the lack of departures fucking lunatics are going to play a squad full of the same cunts that relegated us again with a shit manager again good Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ketsbaia Posted July 28, 2019 Share Posted July 28, 2019 You'd hope there's already enough options ahead of Aarons and Colback, although one of those is Murphy As for Gayle, at least he's better than Joselu. That's it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

McCormick Posted July 28, 2019 Share Posted July 28, 2019 He's pretty good tbh, not an attacking full-back by any means but really solid at the back and a real steal at that price (considering the team he plays for and the fact that he's so young). Rafa was really keen on him iirc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
