The Night-Owl Posted June 25, 2019 Share Posted June 25, 2019 1 hour ago, striker said: Think Moyes will get the Newcastle job; available, reasonably big name and kept WHU in the Premier League. That looks very likely to me. My first thought was Jose because of past links, interest and Bobby Robson, that I mentioned in a previous post in the thread. However, it's unlikely Jose would take it unless they get taken over or they give him some sort of assurance that they will keep him when they do eventually get taken over? Moyes is another one like Jose, who they were close to getting. If the take over isn't happening soon, then I could see them bringing in Moyes or some other experienced out of work manager as a possible stop gap, until they get taken over?

I’d run a mile from working with Mike Ashley, home town or not, and would prefer to challenge for promotion in the Championship than struggle against relegation in the Premiership. Neither of us are Steve Bruce though so who knows what his drives and ambitions are. Rafa managed 3 years under Ashley, so the gig can't be as bad as the media would claim it to be. And if we don't get our house in order quickly, there won't be any "challenge for promotion" for us I'm afraid! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think all evidence points towards Rafa finding it very difficult to work for Mike Ashley, three years or not. Regardless, that’s not got very much to do with whether I would want to work for him, or you, or Bruce. That’s the point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's about putting up with Mike Ashley as you say that would be your first reason not to go there if you was Bruce. If a world class manager like Rafa can handle 3 years, then Bruce - who would be taking by far and away his biggest job if he went there - I'm sure would struggle on if needs be. But we'll never know anyway as Newcastle won't be in for Bruce - thankfully, from our point of view. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I personally don’t have any idea. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I personally don’t have any idea. Educated guess. I can't think of many managers who have turned down a big Premier League club to stay at a Championship club in our current state. In fact, I can't think of many managers who have turned down the chance to move from the Championship to the Premier League full stop. So, on balance of probabilities, I'll let you do the maths. But as I said, it's a moot point anyway as it's also unlikely Newcastle will be in for Bruce. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I keep saying, I don’t know Bruce and wouldn’t question his ambition or drive on the back of not knowing him or how he feels about managing Newcastle. You can if you want but hopefully you’ll soon start to see that you’re not going to have much joy persuading me otherwise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given that we wanted him, were prepared to wait, and gave him what he needed. Keep dreaming.

parkfieldowl14 Posted June 25, 2019 Share Posted June 25, 2019 Why the mass hysteria on rumours that SB is linked with Newcastle.Personally i don't think he's going anywhere at all.They are more likely to target C Wilder as their next manager.
