Would you take David Moyes as new manager?

Pearson or Moyes for me until the end of the season. Need someone with some aggression about them. Seriously I would have all the players have a mass fight and leave 11 shirts lying about, last ones standing/conscious with a shirt in hand start the game next weekend.

 

If its survival of the fittest you are after then dont be looking towards NUFC. They only have one set of bolllocks between them and share them on a rotational basis week by week. Shelvey had a go with them on Saturday....

I hope you have undergone a full decontamination process

 

You guys should have tried to get Rafa while you could. Top class manager, wants to come back to England with his family.. Newcastle isn't a million miles from Liverpool...

 

Let's just go

Rafa or Moyes for me.

 

I know Liverpool are ****e but you ain't that bad

Edit: On a serious note, Newcastle should have brought in Moyes or Rafa 5-6 games ago. I'm amazed the Wolly is still there.

 

Would another manager at this point make a difference to you though? From the outside it looks like the players have given up... much like us, you guys don't appear to have any leaders on the pitch.. no one that seems to feel any pride.

Without trying to be blaming jonny foreigner, but where is the local heart that feel Newcastle are their club? How many of these players will actually be hurt to go down and how many will go "ah well if we go down I can always try and move and go somewhere else if they get me off the wage bill".

Unless you get a new manager in that can instil some of that motivation and encouragement then I don't think it's going to make much difference to general performances.

You might stay up because you still have a couple of potential match winners in Townsend/Wijnaldum, and it'll be a case of which match winners out perform the other between Wijnaldum / Defoe / Bolaisi / a Norwich player in my opinion.

Doesn't mean have to go and buy british to get some of that determination and pride, players like Hyypia / Lucas / Alonso have as much pride for us in the past compared to some of the English players, but it's getting the right characters in and I don't think you've brought those players.

 

We were lacking this just before Monk got sacked. As soon as Curtis took over, Rangel, Britton, Routledge and Cork became key players for us as they were brought back in as virtual guaranteed starters.
With the money and pressure of success/survival, the heart and soul of clubs have been sacrificed for financial greed.

 

The thing is what you talk about is derived from a culture, it doesn't have to be British. There's fck all British about Man City or Chelsea's money, but the drive, determination and ambition shines out from the core of those clubs. It starts with the desire of the owner, moves into the people they employ and the rest just follows. These two clubs have none of the legacy success of Liverpool, Man U or Arsenal but have outstripped them all through not just money on players via oil, but by the will and desire to win things and challenge. With Liverpool some of the darker days have been when that's forgotten. When the culture is affected, when you do less than stretch for the best. Man U suffered that with Moyes and tried to put it right with LvG (hasn't worked out, but the intent is there and it will be again).

At Newcastle, we have a threadbare, do the bare minimum approach. We buy players promising they'll be sold to better clubs, we don't sell Newcastle United, we sell the Premier League and it's glorious riches. There's nothing progressive or successful about a single managerial or executive appointment from Ashley. From a lawyer (Mort), to a casino manager (Llambias) and then the fcking club secretary, the MD of this club has always smacked of inexperience and a lack of ambition. This filters down throughout to permeate the entire club to the point where our first team is heading down and both the reserves (2nd bottom of the 2nd reserve tier - there's only two tiers) and the u-18's would be suffering the same fate. We get regularly hammered and rely heavily on opposition failure and individual contribution rather than any collective effort. We are as failed an experiment as could be and that they, the powers that be, persevere with it is beyond astonishing. I mean, we have to read articles tonight that Carr, Moncur and Charnley - the three fcking stooges responsible for this holy mess - are the same three fcking morons who are somehow getting us out of it? It's farcical.

What can be done? Rafael Benitez would be an answer. Not THE answer, but an answer. Why? Because it shows ambition, to everyone at the club and across the league. It shows we mean real, serious business. It means the hapless MD has gone for experience to help the club. It means lessons have truly been learned, albeit very late in the day. Anything else would be a half measure. Perhaps we need Redknapp for the remaining 10 then take stock - that would seem sensible....ish. But honestly nobody has the perfect answer and you know, really, that the same problems of having ill-equipped people in positions of power will see the wrong decision made, again. History repeats. Always.

 

Interesting and mainly accurate commentary on our position.

Good post Rolando. You've hit the nail on the head. The ambition of Mike Ashley had filtered down throughout the club for the last 8 years. "Just do enough" is our new mantra. I wouldn't be surprised if we survived this season like we did last season. It bugs the **** out of me that such a great business man (not my views but the views of many) can allow such a piss poor branch of his business to go to pot without him getting involved. He should be saying, "Right, that's enough of this ****" and sacking his board and getting some real football people in who know what they are doing and will make this club successful.

 

Paddy Power have stopped taking anymore bets for Pearson to be next boss with Moyes at 4/1 and Rodgers at 8/1

 

BetVictor still give you 3/1 Pearson, evens Moyes.

 

Newcastle need to appoint Pearson asap.
Of course, he will only come if there is no DoF ............... so if Ashley really wants to stay up, he needs a clear out his management.
Pearson may not be the perfect manager but he, more than anyone else I can think of, has the backbone to kick some butt and get the team pulling together.
Moyes may be a better manager in general but not in this situation. Newcastle players need some shock treatment, followed by some ego massaging.
Pearson not only has a proven track record, he has the 'make it happen' attitude.

Anyway, just my thoughts ........................ all the best for the remainder of the season.

 

Stick

 

In 3 Seasons Moyes could wash the lazy, gutless, pussy attitude out of the squad and make us a unit to contend with for once

 

prob pearson ..short term likes be said ..if players dont try then he prob clip them they would feel the wrath ha ha , i dont think you could mess aboot with this lad

 

He looks like he should be a drill sergeant in the army. I think that would be good for the players.

 

What about David Moyes' Wife
