Not a surprise to any of us i know, this has been well flagged but Newcastle United confirmed that Steve Bruce has left his position as head coach by mutual consent.
I personally lost all respect for Newcastle after they sacked Chris Houghton when he got them promoted (his record as manager still stands well compared to other newcastle managers)
Not sure who will come in some are saying Paulo Fonseca is one of the favourites, but if newcastle dont get this signing right they may very well be in the Championship next season, something i'd love to see happen if im honest.
If Fonseca does come i think he will struggle simply by not knowing the english PL, if i was at the executive table id be looking to a proven manager that can say "ive beat the relegation battle".
Talk that the special one could go there again for me i dont think his "coaching" skills are best suited to a dogfight with players of a limited playing ability. JM may come in time but i cant see him improving whats currently in that dressing room and help them stay up.
If i was asked for a name that is currently not managing any team id be leaning towards Eddie Howe.
But with a stroke of luck they wont and they appoint a "big name" and still get relegated
But in the same breath Bull that if you personally won the Euromillions and invested heavily in our club, you wouldn't want us fans dressing up as alcoholic, leprechaun clowns.... tin hat time again! 🙈🤬😉🤔🤣👍
I see now that the new owners have asked fans not to dress up like Arabs,
jezz whats next??
No singing allowed
Kevin Keegan is available.
Big Sam please
Big Sam please
Personally I hope they get Fontescu and fook it right up for a couple of seasons
Talksport said that Newcastle will move their training ground to London!!
That means they will just turn up at St James' Park once every fortnight to play.... how far away from supporting your local club can you get!
The foreigners wouldn't have a clue about the history or culture (! 🙈🍻😲😉🤔)of the city and would just be playing for a franchise!!
Jezz if they appoint Shearer they would be royally forked.
His win % record is far worse than what Bruce had
Shearer 12.5%
Bruce in the high 20's around 28% i thought i read lately
I thought Woodgate spoke words of wisdom (just for once!!) when he said that it's Newcastle and they won't be able to get anybody good to go there.
Think about it - how do you sell it to the real top players and managers? Hey, it's not close to London or Paris, but we've got the Metrocentre and the Angel of the North - that's nice.
Your kids can go to Wallsend Grammar School and you can visit Bedlington whenever you like.
I know money talks, but they can only go after people who know the North of England or Scotland in winter - they need to develop their next Shearer, not try to buy Mbappe or attract guys like Fonseca.
