Paddyowl Posted July 11, 2019 Share Posted July 11, 2019 Now that SB has asked DC permission to talk to NUFC, I would get rid now even before he talks to them. I like Bruce and thought he would be the man to take us up, I even wish him good luck for the future and understand they were his boyhood club but for him to ask permission smells of disloyalty and we don't need someone having only been with us for 6 months getting their head turned' We need someone with 100% commitment. Chris Hughton would be a decent choice but can we afford him and will he drop into the championship or even work up north ? FUBAR every close season......

Hopefully if we can get someone in quick it wont be as damaging as in November for example. At the moment I do think he will go. But we will still be here, managers come and go... Disagree, this is the worst time for managerial upheaval - season starts in 3 weeks, and it might take that long to appoint a new manager. So that's pre-season and possibly the transfer / loan window all gone before a new man can come in, assess the squad and get them playing his way. Unless we go for the cheap option and appoint Agnew which long term could be disastrous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is true but it will be a short lived dream job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes but if he’s looking for a nice final payday then he insists on a 2-3 year contract, knowing the club will be sold and their own man brought in, then gets a nice pay off.

Newcastle fans think it's more a fakeover than a takeover, Ashley's asking price is too high. If Bruce goes or whoever takes the job will.have peanuts to spend in mad PL terms and they'll be a stop gap option and a fall guy. Until they do get taken over or relegated, if they even last that long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

darra Posted July 11, 2019 Share Posted July 11, 2019 Reports saying that Ashley is trying to lure Bruce with a £60 million transfer budget. What would that buy in the premier league? Not much I reckon. Reading what the Geordies are posting if he did go he would possibly be booed as he walked out for his first home match. Not an easy decision I reckon. Also, Allardyce turning them down means he not even Ashleys first choice, maybe not even second. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The way it’s played out since Rafa left I’d be surprised if Bruce was even in their top 10 choices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye, on the proviso he wouldn't jump ship after 5 months, three weeks before the start of a new season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ashley reminds me of one of those blokes who gets their house valued sticks a couple of window boxes and hanging baskets up then ups the price by 2 grand saying it's been recently renovated and improved.
