Weshallovercome Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 I'm surprised either of them are happy to work for £35k - £60k pa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5YearPlan Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 Gray won't last under this regime. It very rarely seems to work in the uk. I hope to be wrong. I like the appointment of Pearson as he's an experienced chairman and has worked on similar projects before. However I am struggling to see what Roeder offers us considering he hardly succeeded as a manager himself. It doesnt work when its sprung on a manager. Gray has always been aware a DoF was likely hence the head coach title. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have a look at the Southampton model. Think the days when one man (the manager) can do everything are well gone and its unrealistic to expect SG to do everything. Let him do what he is good at...coaching. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeonLeon Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 Plus it's never worked before because there's always been a man in charge that wants to run everything. You don't get that feeling with Gray, he knows what he's good at. Let Roeder take up the slack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jambler Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 good logic but only time will tell Agree. But let's just see how it goes. Our fans are great at ridiculing any new singing/appointment/manager etc, and tbh rightly so over the last 20 years. But lets just wait and see how we go, bursting the bubble before it has even started is daft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

southportdc Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 To be honest I ignored this thread totally as I thought it was going to be asking for Nigel Pearson. So if someone could just summarise the response for me that'd be great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiJ Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 Sure roeder was a father figure to gazza at NewcastleWell that went well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southportdc Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 most people like what the club have done today only time will tell it's still unclear on gray's future, we're gonna spend loads in summer, adam pearson a great appointment, unsure on roeder Cheers. So Pearson and Roeder and Gray in charge? Manager Rich. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sonny Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 Whilst hopefully avoiding the whole camel/horse thing it seems like the committee will provide a constant direction beyond the whims of different managers, but the whole committee thing means that it is also a constant beyond one of its members performing badly/getting a better offer. One leaves and we replace/upgrade that position. Who knows if it will work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darklord Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 We need someone to help with recruitment. Great can't push more than one trolley and we are gonna need a few with all the players we will be buying Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
POWP Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 DoF has always been in the pan, MM just didn't want to spend the money with the looming takeovers, which is wise given a new owner may want to employ people they want in that position and not want to deal with hefty contract termination fees. Roeder may seem a tad underwhelming, but it doesn't matter. He's not the face of the club to the fans, but the guy who does the work behind the scenes. Seriously how many DoF's can you name across all the clubs out there? To us they are faceless workers doing the bidding of the board and the managers. Apparently he signed Kevin Phillips for Watford from local Hertfordshire team, Baldock Town for only £10,000. Not a bad example of recruitment to be honest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiJ Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 Bit concerned about Roeder "stepping in" should Gray get the boot at some point. Not disputing the fact that he has a great deal of knowledge and experience, but the bloke couldn't manage his way out the proverbial paper bag.

southportdc Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 So hang on... Gray says he wants xyz position, Roeder goes and finds him one - what do Pearson and Aldridge do? Is Pearson negotiating witht the money Aldridge gives him? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shandypants Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 (edited) Just because someone might have been a rubbish manager, doesn't necessarily mean he'll be a rubbish DOF Peter Eustace for example wasn't a great manager but was one hell of a talent scout.

SiJ Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 All sounds very NewcastleThink quite a few clubs have something like this in place, it's just that everyone knows about Newcastles set up, West Broms too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spookone Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 All sounds positive to me - they have a lot of experience and contacts which will be needed if we are to attempt an assault on the Prem UTO ps when is the new shirt released Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

southportdc Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 the club haven't said anything on aldridge's position, it needs clearing up as can't see him involved in this new set up this, he would be more the one who'd recommend a new gaffer than do it him sen Staton just tweeted he remains Chief Exec... unless he's not involved in the football side any more?
