It will take more than new assistant to dig Hull out of their hole anyway. Allam won't put his hand in his pocket, bruce would be the one spending it if he did, ravaged with injuries and football that could even be worse than ours. They're relegation rivals, I'm glad they're in a mess. Could do with more Everton performances like last night and for charva carver to continue the cracking job he's doing and it will be just like last year with half the league in the scrap. Better for us.
Bruce will be well and truly in panic mode. As you say though half the league could get involved in the end of season fracas. Perm any 3 from 10 again.
More involved the better. Please for once let us be part of the group that pulls away in the final stages of the season.
I think it would an intensive care job if I had to go through last season again. So much hinges on the next few games. Not just for the points we get but also the points we deny the others. Why can`t I support Chelsea ffs
Let us win our next few games and pull away now and coast it for the remainder of the season. Don't need last minute panics mate.
Mate, something tells me you'd not be laughing very long. The bloke is a ****ing world class coach. Defensively, he's a genius, if he took Steele with him they could set up something that Newcastle have never had, a proper defence.
Perhaps a nervous laugh ,he spent a long while alongside sir alex at one of the biggest clubs in world football,domestic and euro games ,the wealth of knowledge he has gained at utd coupled with being a very good player in his own right will benifit any club he is employed at be it a coach or a manager
His record at Norwich wasn't bad over two months either, big win against Cardiff, even bigger win away to Bournemouth, and the rest. He's no manager but Newcastle don't need/want a manager. Anything in the news down your way to suggest why he's left? Seems odd that he's left after 2 months with a vacant 'head coach' role available in Newcastle.
The fans will be Underwhelmed, he'd still get no investment. Rene was a class coach too, being a good coach doesn't automatically mean good managar. Newcastle fans would not be impressed with that appointment and it's the fans who hold the mags back more than anything. It would be a huge risk from a club the size of Newcastle which would make the fans squirm like magots. Newcastle need new defenders before they can have a proper defence anyway. Fact is they need a hell of a lot more than coach turned manager.
I maybe wrong but isn't McClaren he only coach from fergie's shadow to forge any kind of reputable career in English management?
They're not after a manager though mate, they're after a head coach. Phelan as a coach, is world class. Meulensteen is unorthadox, always going to need a level-headed figure alongside him, to keep the calm, a risk that could have paid off but ultimately didn't for Fulham. It may be underwhelming for the ones who know nothing about football, but I'd stick my house on it that he'd have that lot eating out of his hands in no time. The current set of defenders aren't all that, I agree, aside from Janmaat who I rate very highly. He'd get the best out of them though, which would be sufficient enough short-term. Same with McClaren, forget about De Boer and Laudrup, that guy would deliver, no doubt about it. Underwhelming and depressing at first maybe, but I'm sure the Derby fans weren't all queued up to greet him either.
There's still a massive difference between coaching and head coach, apart from transfer policy he'd still have to be head honcho. Something he has limited experience in. Not a job for the inexperienced imo. Just because he can organise a defence on the training pitch doesn't convince me he can be a boss, it's rarely that simple. Like with all step ups it's hard to say how well it would work until you see it. But it's a big job with problems at every turn, I personally think the step up would be too big for his stride. Newcastle as his first permanent top job? I won't be quivering in fear fella. I'd be Worried with McClaren , He's got years of experience behind him and would be much better equipped to deal with the problems that come with being boss at Newcastle.
No, you're right. Whatever relevance that has? Unless you count Sbragia keeping you up, as 'reputable'.
