acrossthepond 739 Posted November 1, 2021 Share Posted November 1, 2021 It's inconceivable to me that the first manager PIF appoints would be some low-level knuckle-dragger like Eddie Howe or, God forbid, Lampard. They're going to want their first appointment to be a marquee signing. Someone who's actually won something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Polarboy 2138 Posted November 1, 2021 Author Share Posted November 1, 2021 What they want and what is achievable, given the mess Ashley left the club in, are two entirely different things. Top managers are like some top surgeon's, they don't want to take too much risk and end up with a dead body on their table and record. The equivalent for a manager of course is a relegation. It's unfortunate, but as a manager you're pretty much as good as your last job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's unfortunate, but as a manager you're pretty much as good as your last job. Which is why Fonseca has been the only one who has publicly put his hat in for the job. He's still relatively green and is trying to build a reputation whereas those like Conte and Rogers have made theirs already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rayvin 4981 Posted November 1, 2021 Share Posted November 1, 2021 And which makes Rafa staying with us when we went down all the more impressive. He really would have been the ideal choice, it's a shame we missed out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kid Dynamite 6127 Posted November 1, 2021 Share Posted November 1, 2021 Spurs have managed to sack Nuno and agree terms with Conte within 24 hours. Giving Graeme Jones a 3rd game in charge is fucking mental 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wykikitoon 17256 Posted November 1, 2021 Share Posted November 1, 2021 TBF to the new owners they have a SHIT load of 14 years of neglect on their hands. Not just from the playing staff and coaching stuff. But to basics like having the fucking windows clean. What does concern me, if they need the sign off from the top bod. When it comes to Jan Transfer window if we continue to do this we wont sign any fucker! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ewerk 27027 Posted November 1, 2021 Share Posted November 1, 2021 They're at an advantage given that they already have a functional structure in place, they already spoke to him in the summer and his mate is their director of football. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christmas Tree 4005 Posted November 1, 2021 Share Posted November 1, 2021 People need to chill the fuck out! (that’s my most @Gemmill post on here to date. In a few weeks we’ve gone from Ashley to the RICHEST CLUB IN THE WORLD. Ive gone from forcing myself to watch Newcastle to actually watching as many different teams as I can. The apathy has gone. I’m back in love with football. Not only has hope returned, but also the certainty that pretty soon we will be back competing at the top table. European nights are coming. We are probably going to win something The fact that our new owners have been caught a little on the hop doesn’t bother me at all. Very soon we will have a “big boy” run football club with DOF, corporate directors, the whole shabang and decisions will run like clockwork. Things are a bit slow with the current set up but this will all change soon. We all know that. They have a shortlist, it’s now in the hands of the big cheeses and whether it’s this week or next bothers me little. Even a dip into the championship, while sad, would only be a very short dent in the overall trajectory. Happy fucking days man!
