Not sure about that I don't see why the none top clubs would really care about damaging Newcastle, if they actually have the money to spend they'll get there eventually, so not sure why they would actively try to get them relegated. They would just cut their nose off to spite their face as Newcastle would just buy from abroad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The only way is S6 Posted October 26, 2021 Share Posted October 26, 2021 Somebody complained about that banner that Palace fans held up at the weekend. Police looked into it. No charges were brought as no offences had been committed. What a great use of police time by the whining sap in the first place. I reckon they were peed off because the cartoon magpie looked like a penguin. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheffield_dave Posted October 26, 2021 Share Posted October 26, 2021 Not sure £40m would get you Zaha's right leg. Which is a pretty damning comment on today's game but.. there we are. One of the more under the radar effects of the money swilling around the Prem now is that the also-rans absolutely have the power to hold out for stupid money if they want to. You don't even need to still be in the division. Dem Blades getting £30m for Ramsdale after being relegated is one of the most ludicrous deals I've ever heard.

Only Chansiri would turn down big money for a player and let them walk out for nothing 18 months or so later. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Incognito Owl Posted November 3, 2021 Share Posted November 3, 2021 https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/59144370 it's not looking good in the search for a new manager. According to this Unai Emery rejects interest, Eddie Howe is next favourite, Paulo Fonseca also mentioned and Newcastle previously made approaches for Antonio Conte, Xavi and Joachim Low but all have turned them down. Eddie Howe though. I bet Wilder will be getting mentioned soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They can get all the top managers in the latter years but right now they need a solid base and steady progress 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plonk Posted November 4, 2021 Share Posted November 4, 2021 Anyone else find it hilarious that before the takeover, when Howe was mentioned as a successor to cabbage head they were up in arms because they wanted a big name not a one club southern softie ( nobody mentions Burnley). One massive takeover and speculation later and who is the favourite? Old southern softie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

i used to be sc_owl Posted November 4, 2021 Share Posted November 4, 2021 Howe must be… 5th choice? Thing about Newcastle is, any player or manager is going to want a lot more $$$ to sign for them. Also, they will not want to risk being the first high profile name to lock into a contract. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The only way is S6 Posted November 4, 2021 Share Posted November 4, 2021 I think the fact that they are currently crap and staring relegation in the face might put any prospective manager off. His first job is to try and keep them up. Very unlikely. His second job is to sort out their crap squad, for a promotion push, or to stave off relegation again! And if they don't bounce straight back up, which will be 100% expected locally, the job becomes a poison chalice. Again. Wherever their new manager is currently sat, watching telly, he's better off there, than facing a cold, hard winter in the north-east, trying to get a tune out of a bunch of failures. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beswetherick Posted November 4, 2021 Share Posted November 4, 2021 Courting managers publicly only for them to turn the job down never bodes well for whoever eventually ends up taking the job, although they do nicely out of it financially. Similarities to Spurs replacing Mourinho over summer - they obviously never wanted Nuno in the first place and ended up potting him after 10 games 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ellis Rimmer Posted November 4, 2021 Share Posted November 4, 2021 Howe would be daft not to take this job, him and Wilder seem a bit like Curbishley who had ideas above his station and rejected the clubs that came in for him, and fell out of the game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
