The manager/head coach should not be the leading voice on recruitment and they certainly shouldn’t have any input into who their boss should be. Aye I’m trying not to believe it, but struggling if I’m honest. If Howe does have as much of a say in pretty much everything then it is a concern.

Standard rumour mill output I suspect. People speculate and the speculation gathers momentum, we all are drawn to ‘no smoke without fire’ kind of thinking. Bottom line on this, nobody, who is talking, knows anything. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danh1 Posted February 26 Share Posted February 26 For me it’s the articles about Ashworth supposedly not having the say that he was expecting and the fact that Howe’s nephew has a significant role in recruitment. Nothing for certain like. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing for certain like. Andy Howe is part of the recruitment team isn't he? If so he'll report into Ashworth or even Nickson. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Newcasltle will be protecting themselves as much as possible, given how critical this summer is going to be for us. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't imagine we would pay a fee like £21m unless it's an instant break clause. Still think something like £13/14m and him starting in September is the most likely and both parties would still be happy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kimbo Posted February 26 Share Posted February 26 It’s still a mystery to me what makes him so highly rated tbh, given that he’s apparently not transfer focused. Man U fans seem to be expecting him to run their transfer policy just like we were. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He hasn't been at any club long enough to justify his reputation. Edited February 26 by macphisto Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
