Is it plausible that a lot of managers are being put off by our perilous position and the Saudi ownership human rights issues?

There's all kinds of possibles we never know, but they're used to making big decisions and get things right.
It'll happen soon and if not then the right guy wasn't ready.
He'll do atm.
We're at the bottom of the ladder at this time no matter how rich the owners are.
There may be 1 or 2 put off by the Saudis but I doubt it would be many.
Our league position is the killer for me. However that should be fixable by a relegation break clause in the managers contract. All depends if they would be OK with a potential relegation on their CV.some may see that as a reputation tarnished that's not worth the risk
Which suggests they are not fully convinced by their own ability.
Any one can be a reasonably good manager when it's all handed on a plate to you.
I cannot believe there's not a decent candidate out there or that any of the following couldn't be tempted with either a relegation clause OR the promise to be backed if relegation happens (a la Benitez).
Oliver Glasner, Niko Kovac, Marcello Gallardo, Simone Inzaghi, Sergio Conceicao, Scott Parker, Christophe Galtier, Diego Martinez all on top of the names already mooted.
To the point made by @Darren Peacock's Ponytail , there isn't a top flight manager in the world doesn't look at Newcastle, the bank account and the January window and thinks "nah, I'm not good enough to keep them up". Jesus, I think I could go in and keep them up playing a higher line and dropping a number of ****ing awful players to give others a shot.
I'm impatient for a change, so we can look forward. Tottenham did it in a day, with one of the biggest names in the World. This group have had two years to mull it over and put a framework in place, and in approaching one month been unable to appoint even a Chief Exec. I find it ****ing weird and a little disturbing/uncomfortable that as of writing this, Lee Charnley is still "in charge".
Just dangle a big bonus if the new guy avoids relegation,simple really and don't offer a contract till next summer.Now who likes money and is capable of doing such a job and who may well be out of a job soon?
Conte hasn't.
Anyone else getting nervous that Rafman is right?
There's literally no clear market movement (look at Conte for Spurs in the markets from Saturday, he was already odds on before Nuno got sacked). Indicates to me we're just not that far forward, which is alarming.
Are they really waiting to see if Rafa gets sacked this weekend, then bringing him in?

Is it ****. Money talks, end of story. The position in the league might have some impact obviously but the ownership is neither here nor there to a manager. If they are giving out big money, they are liked by managers, if they aren't then they aren't. Managers understand the game is fully about money now.
Don't think the new manager is going to be short of money to spend on players:

I'm going to disagree, but merely because of the position the clubs in
Any manager knows if they lose stock that could be theirast big job.
There's a bunch of managers that just float around waiting for easy optiond
When you're 19th, 7 points from safety and your previous owner was Steve Bruce then it's a big step up.
It'll be the next manager and the next phase when people start getting the delusional names they've convinced themselves they can get right now.
Problem is for any manager comin in is do they want a relegation on their CV - I'm sure there's lots out there that would be willing to give it a go but then what happens to the expectations next season if you do stay?
Stay up and then you're asking yourself are you going to be sacked for being, say, 10th at Christmas - regardless of spending in the summer it'll take a new manager and new squad 18months -2 years to start really challenging anything in the top half - our entire squad bar maybe 5 would not be good enough for the Europa League 2 or whatever that new comp Spur are playing in this year, so you'd need 20 new players a new manager, new coaching team in and settled before you can start thinking about top 8.
In short you could come in do a good job keeping this team of ****e up this year and find yourself unemployed in 12 months for not doing very much wrong.
Look at Nuno - he's been made a scapegoat - 50% win record, manager of the month already had them top of the table and just shy of CL places at present but because they have invested in utter ****e like Le Celso and have babies like Kane and Alli there it's Nuno's fault and he's gone inside 4 months? Not sure what Conte is thinking going there - he couldn't get a tune out of that squad and he won't have the control he likes to have over the behind the scenes. A marriage destined for divorce.
