Absolute myth his best days recruiting were at a time when other clubs across Europe hadn’t got up to speed. It was just like us with Carr. Yes, Sam Allardyce was a genuine innovator in the game once, too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Menace Posted July 24, 2025 Share Posted July 24, 2025 Eales was the whooper who bought him in charge without even giving Howe a heads up. His decision making and basically begging someone to bid for Bruno last year as well as the PSR shit show - its all on him. He's the CEO. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Menace Posted July 24, 2025 Share Posted July 24, 2025 By all means I know his illness is very serious and I wish him the best in his recovery, but he's basically been here for 9 months since the news and done what since? Mitchell doesn't escape criticism, him doing that interview last year solved what exactly? But still, I don't know why Eales escapes criticism every single time.

Just been through and checked some of the news Newcastle have released lately, last comment from Eales was in early May on the free pints in the game against Chelsea. Nothing on anything since (Mitchell leaving, STACK extension, Ross promotion, Suds appointment - things you could probably expect to see a generic CEO comment on) and didn't attend the last couple of FAB meetings. So no idea what he's been doing since, still at the club? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s defended putting ticket prices up again due to the usual bullshit. Apart from that, nowt. Agree that it baffles me how he escapes criticism from the press; he appointed Mitchell and we have heard nothing from him since whilst he’s still in post. Hasn’t found a successor 10 months after his diagnosis became public. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

alexf Posted July 24, 2025 Share Posted July 24, 2025 I think PIF and the Reubens need to take the blame for the lack of Eales replacement. It was stated he would be stepping down wasn't it? and everyone can completely understand in his condition if he can't do his role duties. But why is a (now estimated) £1 Billion valued club being allowed to be directionless with no CEO for almost a year. Especially after winning a cup and qualifying for Champions league. Not to mention the face of the sporting director role has become for us. I am getting concerned that PIF have been far to hands off and have not progressed anything since that Adidas sponsorship deal really. That should have just been the start of the growth but it seems there's been very little since. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kooiman Posted July 24, 2025 Share Posted July 24, 2025 FWIW, Eales rubbed up some people in MLS the wrong way with his antics. He was very keen to have a public face there. Often announcing and teasing transfers. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
