Popular Post SS Owl Posted July 13, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted July 13, 2019 (edited) Dear Steve, You have a very crucial 48 hours ahead of you. Take your time and think VERY carefully about what is best for you, your career and your family. I have been a Wednesday fan for nearly 50 years, I love my club, BUT I WOULD NEVER WANT TO MANAGE MY CLUB. The magic would be broken. As a boyhood Toon, think very carefully about letting your heart rule your head and taking this potentially attractive but ultimately poison chalice job. Mike Ashley has no love for Newcastle, he’s a Southern hard nosed businessman, who openly wants to sell the club. You are only a stop gap, allegedly 3rd or 4th choice manager. Like as not when the club is sold, the new team will appoint their own man. Your retirement will be accelerated. The Newcastle fans are amongst the best in the country, BUT get off to a poor start and your Sunderland past will come back to haunt you. Finally, the Newcastle team is threadbare and will be favourites for the drop. If you take the job you have 3 weeks to assemble a team.......... Sheffield Wednesday is not the countries most glamorous club, but as you recognise, it is VERY special and is desperate and ready for success. In DC we have a 100 percent committed chairman, who having made some early mistakes has learned and passionately wants us to reach the premier league. He has always backed his managers ( perhaps too much in early mistakes) can the same be said of Mike Ashley? I think not. I’m sure the money is better at Newcastle, but do you really need the extra money. Happiness and job satisfaction at this stage of your life is surely worth more....... The choice is yours. Think carefully and make the right choice. Edited July 13, 2019 by SS Owl Missed word 9 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nero Posted July 13, 2019 Share Posted July 13, 2019 It's a sign of how peed off people are that everyone wants to post how they feel. Im guilty as anyone. But sometimes it's just best to think it rather than write it out. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least means we are using Owlstalk as a form of therapy and there will be a few less cats kicked etc out of subliminal footy related frustration.

WalthamOwl Posted July 13, 2019 Share Posted July 13, 2019 (edited) Don’t think he was even 3rd or 4th choice. Think he was much further down the list than that. It’s a nice idea but unfortunately I think his mind is already made up that he wants to go Edited July 13, 2019 by WalthamOwl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

areNOTwhatTHEYseem Posted July 13, 2019 Share Posted July 13, 2019 No way that's going to reach him in time, especially with tomorrow being a Sunday. You'd have been better sending an email. It's 2019, after all. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

REDOWL Posted July 13, 2019 Share Posted July 13, 2019 “Sheffield Wednesday is not the country’s most glamorous club” Like you I’ve been going for over fifty years. They were the most glamorous for me on the first occasion on March 9th 1963 when we beat Man City 4-1 and they are still the most glamourous. The difference between the likes of us on here and Bruce can be summed up in one word...loyalty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Lord Snooty Posted July 13, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted July 13, 2019 Dear Steve, The Newcastle fans are the best in the World. They have averaged 50,000 every week since the clubs inception. Except the years when they didn't. Like the early 1980's when they averaged under 20,000. But that doesn't count. They're a fair bunch and know their football. Apart from the ones who chin horses. They're more bothered about the craic.. You'd be mad not to go there. Their passion shines through. How many other clubs could get 45,000 people filling in a poll on whether you should be the next manager? Not many I shouldn't think! 87% didn't want you by the way,. Mainly because you managed a team down the road. They think you look like a cabbage and they are determined to hate anyone who the most hated Chairman in their history sets on. Go for it. These sorts of opportunities don't come very often. Well, actually the chance comes up on average once every 18 months under Ashleys ownership. But you know what I mean. Yes, the chance to manage the boyhood club up until Christmas must be a pull. Thursday night games with protests outside the ground about the chairman, inside the ground about you and a poisonous atmosphere in the City as the cold wind whips in off the North sea on a cold November evening as Man City put 6 in. I can see the pull. Who could want for more!? And all on more money too! Well, actually less money. Apart from the bonuses of course. And how hard can they be to achieve? Getting in the Champions League. Winning the The FA cup for the first time in 64 years. The League Cup. Platting fog. Should be pretty easy with the talented squad up there. And of course with a £60m Warchest to spend to bolster the squad. Or was it £6m? Oh well, either way competitive spending that!. Only Arsenal , Bournemouth ,Brighton , Burnley, Cardiff , Chelsea ,Everton , Fulham, Huddersfield, Leicester ,Liverpool, Man City ,Man Utd Southampton ,Watford, West Ham , Wolves spent more on their squad last year! Yes, you'd be a fool to turn it down. What an opportunity! 3 5 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
