The Night-Owl Posted July 11, 2019 Share Posted July 11, 2019 Dave Jones #1657 by ToonArmy1892 on 11 Jul, 2019 06:54 I hope everyone turns them down. This is glorious. #1675 by Collage on 11 Jul, 2019 07:35 Bruce or Fat Sam, who would you pick? #1676 by ToonArmy1892 on 11 Jul, 2019 07:35 Why are they even looking for a new manager? May aswell give it to Redfearne. #1677 by JH on 11 Jul, 2019 07:36 Time for a bit of British has-been bingo. Who is going to be linked next? Dave Jones? Paul Jewell? Steve Wigley?

fatzooma Posted July 11, 2019 Share Posted July 11, 2019 (edited) My worry would be if Chansiri went back to searching for a left field foreign manager...someone who got to the quarter finals of the Europa Cup with an unheard of Romanian side....but hasn’t managed since being sacked from some 3rd tier Belgian outfit.

trev Posted July 11, 2019 Share Posted July 11, 2019 Hopefully Ashley is discovering just how stubborn Chansiri can be when it comes to transfer fees. Don't budge DC. Demand every penny of compo!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WalthamOwl Posted July 11, 2019 Share Posted July 11, 2019 Think today will be the day we find out if Bruce is leaving. Really hope he sees sense and stays. There is a reason so many managers are turning them down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steelowl Posted July 11, 2019 Share Posted July 11, 2019 I'm not shy at taking a pop but IF we have inserted a big comp fee into the contract i want to tip my hat to DC or negotiator however IF Bruce has declared he wants to speak then I'm sorry he has to go we need someone who's heart is in it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrTacoSWFC Posted July 11, 2019 Share Posted July 11, 2019 15 minutes ago, RUMBELOWS91 said: £5m sounds a lot, but we have invested heavily in the backroom staff since Bruce came in. 2 experienced assistants, the recruitment team and the new medical fella- all as part of Bruce's project. It's also an absolutely critical time in terms of player negotiations, the transfer window and pre-season preparation. Taking all that into account, and considering the top of the game is awash with cash, it actually seems quite cheap. As you mention, to lose Bruce would make a massive dent on progress we have made since he's come in and the pre season work he's been carrying out with the players. Not only do we lose Bruce but his team of experienced staff and no doubt the new sports science guy too. It would be a massive blow, I don't think 5million is worth the cost of him leaving at such a critical time at the start of the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluesteel Posted July 11, 2019 Share Posted July 11, 2019 I hope he stays and it’s interesting that these other names are being thrown around last minute. But once someone’s head is turned it becomes difficult for all parties doesn’t it? It spoils it a bit. From the various chatter this week and some decent sources in the NE, my feeling is that it will come to a head this week and Bruce will most likely be off.

If Chansiri really has money to invest that he's not allowed to and we've already managed to sort FFP then £5m means very little at all in terms of how we can.operate moving forwards.

Philb125 Posted July 11, 2019 Share Posted July 11, 2019 Not read the entire thread but seems an awful lot of smoke to not have any fire.... that said I’d be delighted if Bruce is still in charge this season but if he isn’t there are more than a few silver linings; - Before Carlos was rebranded Coco the Clown he was drawing plaudits and attention from premier clubs. Like with player sales hindsight’s wonderful and selling when players or coaches are hot is better than paying them off a season or two later. - Id rather lose Bruce for 5m than Bannan. - His work at tail end of last season and preseason should help lay decent foundations for anyone coming in. - We may need one more shoestring season before financially rebalanced and Bruce be available again in a year if he wants to come back in when we’ve reset the books.

Bluesteel Posted July 11, 2019 Share Posted July 11, 2019 5m if true, would that include his entire staff? Its more than Chelsea paid for Lampard which will annoy the Toon fans even more. But Newcastle really need a manager by the end of the week and this has all gone wrong for them. They are desperate and will likely have to cough up.

Yellowbelly Posted July 11, 2019 Share Posted July 11, 2019 The thing I find most annoying is that Ashley willingly let Benitez stroll out the door with obviously no replacement lined up & was generally quite lackadaisical about the whole thing. Yet it seems that we’ll be the one scrabbling around for a new manager with the squad only half put together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But he was Chairman when we signed Abdi (£600,000 gross salary per game, as opposed to Colin's £400 per week) . It's just so annoying if we lose such a top manager. Clumsy? Satire? It was down right racist and you know it. How is he still on this site after that @@owlstalk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Night-Owl Posted July 11, 2019 Share Posted July 11, 2019 All this; Ashley, FFP/P&S, parachute payments, TV money, ludicrous transfer fees, really shows how much the Premier League and Sky have ruined the game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shandypants Posted July 11, 2019 Share Posted July 11, 2019 Report from The Independent directly quoting Bruce: https://www.independent.co.uk/sport/football/premier-league/newcastle-manager-steve-bruce-sheffield-wednesday-benitez-terry-arteta-odds-a8998561.html Bruce knows nothing about it. The club and Bruce just need to make a statement to quell the speculation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
