Yeah.....The cynic in me might think they thought we might get desperate the closer to midnight we got without selling anyone.......Almost like somebody(with a very nice garden that is completely bug free) may have informed them of what our financial position was like......and now it's gone tits up they've immediately had to come crawling.
Mail now reporting this too but piggybacking off ESPN story https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/f...point-Dan-Ashworth-new-sporting-director.html
Yes I agree on this .. they thought they had Newcastle in checkmate hence this Mr Burns looking old scroats brash public speaking. Unfortunately he's now ended up being defeated.
This is everywhere this morning. The Athletic are going as far as reporting it to be done and dusted. GG, that's how you report a rumour early lol
Glad this saga is also at an end. Hopefully as they've had 5 months head start we should be reasonably well placed to quickly announce a new appointment.
He's gone - done and dusted, according to SSN. Starts with immediate effect. https://www.skysports.com/football/...gree-deal-to-hire-newcastle-sporting-director Hopefully he employs Garaf as his puppet post haste.
Can't see it being that high. £14m I'm guessing at... Won't have been a few mill, that's for certain.
I reckon around £8-10m. But accounts wlll show it. Would like to see us move swiftly to appoint his replacement, I assume part of us reaching agreement means the 4 months of this exec search company has unearthed someone other than Dougie Freedman.
I'm definitely not taking that bet as I don't think we have it in us to do anything quickly, for whatever reason.
Maybe, but if you had to choose between quick and right, would you want them to make a quick decision or the right decision?
