I fear you may have missed the gag. This news is, frankly, bizarre. Howe literally just saying how we've got to move quickly and here we are, with the window open next week for 10 days, sacking our transfer guy.
That's two Dofs that have hated being here now. I think it's fairly clear that someone has become a little irritating for them.
Manager, but if the Dofs aren't free to do their job what's the point in them being here? I believe that's the question they ask themselves before they quit.
Eddie now will be let loose with about £200m in the next week. Just hope he doesn't spend half of it on new contracts for Wilson and Lascelles.
He did get £20m for Kelly. I'll give him that. But the timing, when does Eales go? Maybe changes at the top are incoming.
Wasn't Mandy's dealings the reason we had PSR issues though and thats why the club we glad to see the back of them?
Possibly, but i think that Mandy also had a financial issue court case going on where she could have lost her Toon shares to her complainant - that would have affected club ownership if true.
I think we're approaching a year since the club began its extensive search for Eales replacement. A ****ing year?!? To find a CEO interested in taking on the Newcastle job?! Jesus wept, maybe I should've gone into recruitment. I've seen this before about "oooh, new structure incoming" when in reality Mitchell will just disappear, and Eales will just carry on, then we'll have a weird recruitment period over the Summer. I mean, the timing of this is ****ing dreadful. Wasn't the problem LAST year that Mitchell appearing so late meant he couldn't have an impact on transfers? So are we going to get the same excuses trotted out this year, when the reality is Howe doesn't want to drop Trippier, Lascelles, Wilson and Longstaff from his squad? Christ, we'll probably get a new contract for Ruddy.
I'm beginning to It's a guessing game, but after two Dofs decided tbh they were unhappy at the club I'm convinced Howe has something in his contract about final say. There's no point hiring another dof because they're not allowed to do their job and we have to hope Howe gets it right.
It's going to be fun this summer... No signings for ages hopefully and underwhelming ones eventually will see this forum shine. Personally I think we'll have a good side next season.
