Ashworth to Manchester

I think Howe has too much of a say on things based on a few reports that suggested Ashworth was irritated by it... it might also explain why the bloke at that massive club Palace rejected us.

Newcastle at the moment is looking a bit daft tbh.. when the takeover went through they made very bold claims they'd win the league in 5 years, but the reality is settling in now that it's going to be about trying to be a top 6 club for the next decade.

 

Don’t discount a title push next season

 

I have no issues with us trying to be a top 6 club.

I have even come to terms with the fact we probably won’t win much in the next 5 years either because of the way the dirty half dozen have set things up.

Howe having the control isn’t a problem providing we are moving in the right direction.

 

I know I think top 6 is a realistic aim and not easy... there's 6 clubs that are way ahead of Newcastle in every way shape possible..... I tried explaining that finishing 4th once has changed nothing in that regard.

Newcastle are where they should be, so Howes doing well even if he has made errors... he's human and there's nothing wrong in a balanced view.

Staveley and Co have clearly begun to realise what they're really dealing with... there is no way on Earth that Newcastle can win the league in 5 to 10 years.

 

Roland has killed our hopes with a bet... bizarre

 

So Johannes Spors is the replacement with him
and a Performance Director due to be in place before we head to a training camp at Adidas HQ.

 

I'm seeing rumours regarding this Johannes guy, but is it actually confirmed?

 

Still just talks

 

Nickson is doing the job and may even get the role.. no reason why not.

 

Apart from the fact he’s a scout……, so he knows about 10% of the spokes in the wheel

 

Just what I read...whats required exactly ? He's been here years and identifys players.. he's probably not gunna snake us like Ashworth mate.. think it would be fine personally..... seems this 777 dude is likely though.

 

Nickson, as Magdad said, is a scout and deals with finding players. This position is for someone who links all departments. People (not aimed at you) still seem to think that it was DA signing players.

 

Well he's being given the role this summer at least.. he's being considered ... according to reports.

 

No. He may well be given the role of signing players and signing them off but I doubt he’s involved say with the medical team.

 

He's being considered for the job dpp.

 

No he’s not.

 

Chronicle…… suggests……. Bullshit

 

Wasn't them that released the story... ultimately he's got the the requirements though. I'd be happy with him after what the last one did.

 

He’s got the requirements? Wtf is that meant to mean?
