KaKa Posted September 11 Share Posted September 11 (edited) With all the discussion that has gone on regarding the Sporting Director's role and the Manager's role regarding transfers, this is an incredibly interesting listen. A little snippet for you ... Rogers wanted Tom Ince ahead of Coutinho, who the recruitment guys wanted, and that was the deal that was going to happen until Blackpool changed the terms late on!

The Prophet Posted September 12 Share Posted September 12 Weird Waugh, Edwards and Douglas aren't reporting on this alleged civil war. Reads like Hope creating a mountain out of a mole hill. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

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! Edited September 12 by KaKa Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vinny Green Balls Posted September 12 Share Posted September 12 (edited) The Craig Hope story looks a lot like the editor forcing a sensationalist title on what was a much less sensationalist story. I dealt with similar. Edited September 12 by Vinny Green Balls Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaKa Posted September 12 Share Posted September 12 2 minutes ago, Myleftboot said: 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.
