Even if you give him the benefit of the doubt and believe him. He just revels in bad news and negativity. Despite supposedly being a fan. 
 

He is a monumental tosser. Easter Island block heed cunt. 

Job of a journalist is to report on what's happening.  Just cos he's a fan does not mean he should cover up story's.

You should probably read posts properly before replying. 

Where have I suggested he should ‘cover up a story’ FFS. Why is he the only one that is reporting this? Why does almost every story he publishes focus on the bad and not the good? 
 

The bloke is a bellend.

Don't think he is covering a story to be honest, I am thinking he is trying to create one that isn't even in there to begin with.

I really don't trust this guy at all.

 

However, if anyone at the club really thinks no one should be able to question anything they do in their role, or suggest to them ways that things can be improved ...

 

Then that kind of person, no matter who they are, absolutely has to go!

How’s Bunce changed training?

 

This is what Hope is saying:

 

Howe's power has been diluted, with Mitchell, Eales and new performance director James Bunce taking greater control across all aspects of the club's day-to-day running. Bunce is around training every day and, during pre-season in Germany, it was interesting to note Howe's body language - like a hedgehog raises its quills - as he prepared a session with the new man watching on.

 

The volume of intensity in training, it is said, has been reduced compared to previous seasons, an instruction on the part of Bunce aimed at lowering the number of injuries and optimising performance. 

 

So far, Newcastle have taken seven points from nine, have picked up two injuries - neither is serious - and, by Howe's admission, have not played as well as he would have liked, with some key players still lacking fitness. 

 

There is, then, a balance to be found.

If Bunce can increase player availability, that is good news for the club. If Mitchell can implement a recruitment strategy that gets ahead of Profit and Sustainability Rules, that is good news for the club. But to suggest that some of what went before was substandard - when Howe and others took the club from 19th to the Champions League in less than two seasons - was perhaps not the wisest ploy.

Might be wrong but in one of the clips in preseason the players were warming up for the fitness work with some strange yoga moves led by a woman (not shown) with a loud voice. Haven't seen that before in footage. Sounds like the type of cringey thing a new guy would do in his position 

 

Also Dan Hodges was head of performance before Bunce arriving as a director. Hodges has been with Eddie and JT from the start at Bournemouth so they're probably very close. Physical performance and pushing the players hard is key to Eddie's style, so imo that's another thing that provoked the 'Germany interview'. But listening to Eddie, Bunce and Mitchell since then it's fucking clear that there's no drama, they'll just have to be professional and find a way to work together for the benefit of the team. 

Let's see what they do in the future. If there's even a hint of a lack of a plan, OCD Eddie will notify us at the first opportunity.

 

oh and Craig Hope can fuck off with that doom mongering shite - he writes as if this is still Ashley's circus.. Nowadays there's a culture of professionalism, togetherness and motivation (at least around the first team) that puts to shame most PL clubs. Of all people he should know that, this summer has shown him up, clueless about transfers, clueless about the FFP hole in June, clueless about Amanda's exit, clueless about Mitchell's arrival.. Luke is the same, the Athletic lads didn't do much better either.. Waugh repeating we're interested in Bowen all summer, Tapsoba being plan B etc...

Last year there were so many complaints on here about the injuries. Centred mostly around not rotating players enough.

 

For a while now, there have been complaints on here about the neglecting of getting better options for the right wing.

 

There's certainly things that need sharpening up on, and sometimes that means bringing in new people with fresh ideas. You can't just surround yourself with people that think like you do all the time, it's just not realistic.

 

The more I read about all this, the more I really think that this sort of thing is what led to the changes this past summer. 

 

When it all kicked off with Ashworth, we were already hearing that he was being marginalised by Howe, and this was being enabled by Amanda and Mehrdad.

 

Don't think PIF liked that at all, and all the changes were made to put things in order, and make sure everyone was operating within the boundaries of their roles, as it should be.

Subtle.

 

I don't think we should immediately dismiss a journo because he's reporting potentially bad news, but the framing of it is there to see. He's been at it since Mitchell arrived.

Hope is nothing but a doom merchant at best or a shit stirrer at worst.

 

Numerous examples where he aims low no matter where we are in the League or as a club.

 

But in the modern world of journalism... Clicks matter not the number of papers sold.

 

A reporter is now able to be judged by his bosses on how many hits his stories get over others.. whilst in the old days it was only paper sales
