Mikey1874 Posted October 17, 2021 Share Posted October 17, 2021 (edited) Newcastle can change their manager. Not sure it will help with this squad. 13 more league games before transfer window. They do play Norwich and Burnley at home in 4 days early December. Currently big danger of relegation.

They can approach whoever and afford whoever but are they willing to come in and work with this squad of players 2 months before the transfer window opens ? And at that the reports are Newcastle are getting 50M in January to spend. It’s a hard window to bring players in. I thought the new owners would of had their man waiting and when the take over was complete the new manager would take over at the same time like Robbie done when Budge took over. Rodgers has already rejected it ruled himself out . Will they bring in a manager out of work to save them from relegation then sack him in the summer when they survive and want to spend big so go and get a bigger name? The names out there are not game changers Eddie Howe relegated with Bournemouth, Chris Wilder relegated with Sheffield United, Frank Lampard ? I still think Roberto Martinez would be a good shout for them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The club was neglected in all areas for 14 years by the previous owner but he made sure his pockets were full year in year out. The process really needs to start with getting somebody better than Bruce in. The Newcastle players looked like they were schoolkids in the playground yesterday. You have to wonder what they work on with Bruce. The defending was abysmal and all over the place and I wouldn't say Spurs are the best team in the league but way ahead of Newcastle on that showing.

Maroon Sailor Posted October 18, 2021 Share Posted October 18, 2021 What gets me about failures like Steve Bruce is he keeps saying he wants what's best for the club. If he did, he would walk away with nothing, like Strachan did at Middlesbrough. You can tell he's had enough but £8 million pounds is waiting for him McCarthy at Cardiff is another one.

If the club was in liquidation then yeah, walk away. Difficuklt to remember the last time any manager resigned rather than wait to be sacked. I expect 'resignation' usually means 'negotiating a pay off' anyway. Bruce is a dreadful manager imo. 1000 games and not a single trophy or league win at any level and even his demeanour sounds defeated. Fat Sam is the same but at least he knows how to organise a team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
