Craig Hope on Talksport just now said that Newcastle is in turmoil just now and Eddie with have to take on multiple roles, I hope this isn't true cos he was burnt out last season.

Not like Craig to stir up some drama out of nothing.

Hope is a grim cunt who revels in NUFC doing badly as it enhances his own clicks and engagement scores. He belongs to The Mail and you can see he’s a perfect fit by the way he operates.

By all accounts that sounds like exactly what Eddie wants.

Hope absolutely loves Eddie Howe, so without listening to what he said my guess is it's all about 'woe is Eddie, he has it so tough' etc.

I wonder how much we've paid this guy for 12 months of doing sod all

 

He did actually bring in a few youth players, time will tell whether they're any good but his reputation was mainly based on identifying talent at that level.

Any names who could come in as a replacement? bit worried it could have a bad effect on our window that DoF just leaving right before window is starting. certainly not an ideal situation even if this guy didnt do much so far.

Unlikely to see any movement on it for a while. Would imagine the new CEO (whenever they get announced) will lead on a new DoF.

Yeah Eddie loves being in control of everything. Or perhaps just hates not being in control of everything.


Should just give him a bump in salary, change his job title to Head of Football Operations and let him loose.

Clear the locals aren’t being briefed at all on our deals. Christ even Ornstiens column when asked about us he just sort of gives a non answer. 

 

Modern journos need to churn out content, what Hope, Edwards et al are doing is just that despite them having nothing tangible to report.

We should be used to it by now tbf. Same will probably happen June 2026.

Is the reason Mitchell is leaving because of what is being played out in front of us re extending contracts to players past their sell by dates due to whomever is dealing with transfers not being flexible enough.

Do people on here think he's actually still in charge of negotiating transfers and contracts? Would there not be a chance of conflict of interests given he must have some other job in mind if he's leaving at the end of the month.

Assume probably a more professional sound board at this point, so involved for his experience but not the primary lead. Because how can he be? Can’t leave when mid progress on a deal.

Can't win. People moaning they want and update and cry on when it's not good news. 

 

He's a journalist who reports on the info he's been given. His jobs not to withhold negative news.

Journalists fabricate most of their football stories whether it’s positive or negative claims, they just make up lies for clicks
 

I reckon 10% of what they report has some basis in reality
