No point going for a chequebook manager at this stage. The whole football structure needs revamping from top to bottom. Steady as it goes. What he done with Bournemouth was incredible. They were on the brink of liquidation. Edited November 8, 2021 by Maroon Sailor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even in the 90s during Keegan's reign it was a big thing to get the likes of Cole, Lee, Ferdinand and Warren Barton to move there. I don't think they would have moved if it wasn't for Keegan. It must be a factor. As we all know, footballers these days make huge money. When they're not playing, they want to get out and about and enjoy their free time. Newcastle is great for a lads weekend away. When you're earning millions though, you want to in London or Manchester. Liverpool is a draw because of the stature of the club, which if frankly enormous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wheels fell off a bit the last 18 months to be fair but the amount of time he was at Bournemouth - with the way inflation went in football with his new signings - was it really a surprise? New challenge for him, he’s an intelligent guy who lives and breathes the game. Will keep them up easy and push on next season IMO. He's untested at this level but he deserves the chance. He does appear capable and he did well at a club with a very small budget. We'll know soon enough. Newcastle aren't going to suddenly set the world on fire. If he hasn't achieved after a couple of seasons, they'll make a change. Newcastle fans have to be realistic though. It's a long term transition, from struggling to avoid relegation to challenging for honours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another thread has old chestnut of Robbie being responsible for Hibs winning the cup. It's bollocks. Anyway, truce. I don't want to banned from another thread I think I said on the thread at the time that the disallowed goal for Sheffield Utd could be the difference between Villa staying up and being relegated. The only time goal line technology has failed and it had serious implications as to who stayed up and who went down at the end of the season. Look at that late equaliser from McStay in the first game of the 85/86 season - how crucial did that turn out to be. There are moments in every season that are defining and not just in the last game. I remember Liverpool snatching a win at Villa and I thought then they would go on to win the league. Leicester winning 3-0 at Man City another defining moment in 2016 Edited November 8, 2021 by Maroon Sailor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homme Posted November 8, 2021 Share Posted November 8, 2021 I don't think an Eddie Howe team has the battling qualities Newcastle are going to require this season. It wouldn't surprise me one bit if he is sacked within 3 months. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They'll get it right eventually they're too rich not to but this is a mis-step. Howe has multiple relegations under his belt, it doesn't bode well, but it's football so you never know. I think celtic dodged a bullet though. Can you list these multiple relegations? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An upgrade on Bruce, yes, but not quite the sort of manager they would have been hoping for I'll bet. He'll get some money to spend and will no doubt spend it quite sensibly, and I reckon they'll bring in a couple of cut-price ex-PL players, or guys who haven't really made the cut at Man City / Man Utd etc, or who are doing well at smaller clubs and looking to double their money somewhere else... Coutinho, Van De Beek, Isak, Bale, Zaha, Bissouma, Lerma, etc are the sort of players who I'd be looking at as a starting point.

Liverpool finished in 4th place, thirty points behind the winners Arsenal in 2004. They got a place in the Champions League for that wonderful achievement and ended up winning it.🙄 Perhaps the worst example of that, is AC Milan were initially banned from the CL due to Calciopoli scandal in 2006, appealed and were allowed back in, and then won it in 2007.

I've perhaps been a bit harsh on him. However I didn't think he did spectacularly well at Burnley...

Really depends on where the owners see the club after the turn of the year, Howe maybe isn’t the choice you’d make if you think you will be fighting relegation come the last couple of weeks of the season but could be exactly what they need if they plan to spend big in January and expect to be well clear of the relegation zone come may!
