Doctor Zaius Posted August 23, 2021 Share Posted August 23, 2021 The fact that he had no clue who his team were playing at the weekend probably says a lot about Rodriguez like. Injury concerns is probably the biggest factor in wanting shot of him though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dokko Posted August 23, 2021 Share Posted August 23, 2021 Jammed packed full of quality, would be so unfair to rob one of these footballing heroes of their place in our illustrious 25 man squad. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted August 23, 2021 Share Posted August 23, 2021 (edited) Think I said at the time, it’s clear as day that we keep extending the contracts of shit players simply because it’s the easy option. Means we look like we have an alright squad, and it hides the fact we don’t have the expertise, desire or financial appetite to improve the club. Load of shit.

Only Carroll was actually registered, like. Not that it isn't all a load of bullshit. The wider management of the squad has been dire since we got promoted for a host of reasons, and it's got worse since Rafa left. Last year we had around £100,000 a week being spent on absolutely nothing, with Atsu and Saivet out in the car park kicking a tennis ball around, unable to actually feature in the team. Then there's the likes of Yedlin, Muto, Lejeune, Ki, Lazaar being sold for buttons or being paid-off, either because: selling them when their value was high(er) was impractical; they've been bad signings on account of shopping in the bargain bins; or simply mismanaged. The same will apply to the likes of Gayle, Shelvey and Ritchie - all of whom we could've made a profit on and found upgrades for; not to mention those I was talking about in the Longstaff thread, whose potential ability (and profit) has been slashed on account of Steve Bruce being employed at the club. Don't even mention recruitment via the academy. The whole operation is disconnected and generally just botched by people who haven't got a clue. But it's still good enough for 17th so never mind, basically. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lazarus Posted August 23, 2021 Share Posted August 23, 2021 Only at Newcastle. - Who are the 25? The club site has got: Dubs Karlo Gillespie Woody Cher Clark Dummett Fernandez Krap Lascelles Lewis Manq Fraser Hayden Hendrix Longstaff Shortstaff Murph Ritchie ASM Shelvey Almiron Big Joe Gayle Wilson Elliott Anderson mustnt have a place. And lists Cher as a forward. Shirley we can get rid of a couple or loan a couple?? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Laugable thing is that I would get rid of over 70% of that squad, but that's where we are the past 15 years, now and a fair likelihood for the forseeable also. How anyone can actually go and watch a match I do not know. The bloke has openly carried out a slow death operation on all aspects of the club alongside openly taking the piss, and the sheep still turn up.

Atsu and Carroll were both in the squad from Jan onwards. So adding Woodman to that means we should have one space left. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

nufcjmc Posted August 23, 2021 Share Posted August 23, 2021 loans require loan fees and the money is gone lack of squad space when we have been willing to leave players without squad numbers is just an excuse, no more signings is just another nail in the coffin.
