Anything we do now is a straw clutching exercise. I've said for a few days to some of the lads this reeks to high heavens of a new manager waiting in the wings. Something isn't right. Howe looks like he did when he started to look destroyed at Bournemouth.
It really, really does. Howe's looked, well, kind of sick to the stomach recently. The initial knee-jerk interview I think will be seen as the seminal point, he was clearly incredibly irked.
Since then we've basically been interested in Olise and Guehi, in spite of the Sporting Director coming from roles at Leipzig and Monaco. Maybe this season we'll send all our scouts to Brighton instead of Palace?
Howe has been hung out to dry here..the blame has to lie further up.
Some claim he hung himself out to dry, doesn't want a big influx and only wants PL experience.
There's a number of possibilities.
They may all have unanimously decided on targets and just not managed to get them and then simply decided not to bankroll the clubs future like Everton on **** players.
Definitely and a very sensible/likely scenario. Just a shame our scouting seems to have declined rapidly and steadly over the past 2 years.
Newcastle are not a big club yet but unfortunately finishing 4th once has warped peoples minds into thinking they fixed 15 years of neglect within 2.5 years.
This period was and is inevitable
Maybe nobody is to blame? There's so many variables and we don't know the outcome of this decision long term.
But if we don't get Europe this season, and i'm talking a CL place, the likes of Bruno, Isak etc will want to be off, that's why we need to strengthen now.
We'll be back to square one.
The club is playing a dangerous game here.
