Just bring back Mandy. She did more in her time than most have in the last 30 years. And the comms were good. And they were good people not stiff morons. Seriously would you all take her back?
I think Howe has had full control since Ashworth left.. Explains why they failed and were actually embarrassed with the Guehi bidding and now this summers disaster. Someone needs to step in and say stand aside Eddie and let me get the **** on with this and you get back to what you're good at.
On one hand I don't want Newcastle to have a Man Utd sized set up, entire departments making a mess of everything, but at the same time we are still too small fry. The issue is that the people working within football at a "corporate" level are just not very good. Look at almost every single club in the premier league, they are ran by amateurs, you have a big money entity behind almost all of them with a few piddling middle managers running the show and mostly ballsing it up. This is why PIF don't just hire people, how do you find a person with any actual skills to come to Newcastle United when Man U and Tottenham can't? City have had the same person running the club for ****ing years now and for a good reason, when you lose your "guy" you can't replace him. Everton is a good example, just a rich fella and a bunch of local British call center managers running a football club with not a clue about basic business. Liverpool had their "guy" lost him, struggled a bit and rehired him. You just cannot find the talent in football to run a football club.
