Decky Posted May 12, 2007 Share Posted May 12, 2007 Red Bulls coach Bruce Arena is being lined up by English Premiership side Newcastle United to take over control of the struggling club. Arena is seen as the man to take the club forward in a ground breaking change of direction. Arena who has only coached the Red Bulls since August 2006 has been in talks with the United consorteum in a secret UK location since yesterday and advisors were quoted as being very optomistic towards an outcome. Arena has managed a number of former Premiership stars including Claudio Reyna and Juan Pablo Angel and is known to be a huge admirer of the United Kingdom. Arena, former US head coach is set to take over the club at the end of the English Premiership season on Sunday following Uniteds last match against fellow North East strugglers Watford City. Arena, known for his fast talking and no nonsense approach to management is expected to carry out a blow out within the club clearing out many of the big name stars including England star Michael Owen in favour of bringing in his own players. Angel is expected to be the first player to follow Arena across the Atlantic. Red Bulls fans were less enthusiastic about the move, many feeling that Arena has let down the club by moving so early into his contract and after the sterling work he carried out for the National side taking them to the brink of the World Cup final he was seen as the coach to propel the club to the top of the worldwide rankings. Red Bulls Chairman Phil Anschutz was unavilable for comment yesterday http://us-nn.com/sports/more_sports/2007/05/10/2007-05-10_arena_in_united_talks.html Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

chicago_shearer Posted May 12, 2007 Share Posted May 12, 2007 Got me thinking though.... http://blogs.orlandosentinel.com/sports_soccerblog/2007/04/manchester_city.html That was from a couple of weeks ago. This paper is a tabloid who have no interest or clue about Premiership football, but if Arena was actually in the UK, it could more realistically have been as part of this proposed American takeover of City.
