We were only 4 points off the playoffs even when Beale went. Say, in some alternative universe, we’d brought Rohl in when we got rid of Mowbray, I believe there’s every chance we’d be looking forward to another match on Sunday.
I know that can’t be proved either way so, as I say, I appreciate it’s all about opinion and I agree what transpired was really poor but I still track it back in the main to the head coach decisions.
Aye but he chose Beale and didn’t get him what he needed

Someone otr has posted a conversation supposedly between a friend of his and Maric (who knows each other) and Maric has said that he's not the new head coach.

No idea if it's bs or not. I should log off and just wait for an announcement <laugh>
I keep telling myself que sera, sera - just wait for the official announcement etc, pretending I'm above all this but I'm struggling not checking in on every tiny development all the time!

That doesn't help, it's just more speculation using unclear sources.

I listened to the Danny Kelly thing earlier. The journalist was Andy Brassell (who is very good), he joked about Still looking for houses in his street (he lives in Jesmond). But he was vague and it sounded more like he was explaining the rumours as opposed to breaking the story.
 
We are a tight run ship these days. Nobody knows other than the people involved in the appointment and the head coach, it’s all just rumours and speculation.
I'm pleased that we're run that way. Because of that, it concerns me that all the rumours are about Still and Maric- does that mean it's going to be someone completely different?

He's just tweeted 5 mins ago that he was joking

It seemed obvious to me that it was his sort of his way of switching into the media speculation that Still is the favourite for the job. I wonder as I get older if people are completely unable to read tone and nuance or if they deliberately interpret it wrong.

That twitter account is a pain in the arse though. Has no quality filter at all, just posts any old ****e safc related and often tries to pass rumour off as fact.
