Thank fuck he did fuck off and we kept Joelinton then eh. Wouldn't have been winning that cup final and giving me one of the best days of me life without him for starters

Very true can’t disagree with that, though long term think his concerns about his availability due to injuries might be well founded.

Based on what? Genuine question. 

It was sarcasm.

 

I have no idea of Andy Howe's credentials and am cynical that the best person for the job just so happens to be the bosses' nephew.

 

That said, Eddie clearly trusts him and their transfer record is decent.

Do you think Ashworth would have left if he was happy in his role ? there were plenty of reports that he thought the job wasn’t as advertised and he didn’t have the autonomy to make the decisions he wanted, Joelintons contract being one well reported example.

 

 

 

 

Personally i couldn't care less why he left, as long as it wasn't because the club was on fire like it was during Ashley ownership.

And, if you would be so kind to me point in direction to where it's been said it was because of Eddie, that is not something i recall at all. Or ever remember being said, written or even mentioned until i read your post.  Frankly i think it's nonsense, but I’m quite happy to proven wrong.

Plus, Howe and Nickson taking over a job they've both done before here.

 

They signed Bruno, Botman, Trippier etc...

 

Didn't we hire a "transfer expert" for the first window? I can't remember the details.

 

Edit: As revealed by The Athletic, Newcastle United’s new owners have appointed Nick Hammond as a temporary consultant ahead of the January transfer window.

We did but obviously as fans we don't know the extent of the engagement.

It did start being briefed as mitigation by his side after his attempt at going to Man U became a shit show, but not beforehand. Then, after his stint at Man U became a shit show, his side started briefing that he really liked working with Eddie Howe and he'd suggested him as a replacement for Ten Hag.

 

Ashworth spreading self-serving bollocks seems to be the consistent theme.

I’m certainly not saying it was all down to Howe the people running the club should have given a clear job specification of the DOF role, I think that is the problem and one they need to address with whoever they appoint next.
