Newcastle United Thread - 2021/22

[Stoned Rose]

Can see Newcastle going down this year and they will probably build from there. There's an assumption that they will spend spend spend but that might now actually happen.

It clearly won't.

FFP won't allow it.

It's almost certain Bruce will formally be gone in the next day or so. I imagine it's unlikely that they will have a manager in place for the game at home against Spurs. Presumably the new owners are hoping that sacking Bruce will lift the cloud that's been hanging over the stadium, although they need to rip down all the Sports Direct banners as well!

Looking at their fixtures, they've got a really tricky set coming up now and they really have to be careful... Spurs, Palace away, Chelsea, Brighton away, Brentford, Arsenal away then in December they have Leicester, Liverpool, City, United and Everton! Bear in mind they can't spend till January, ANY manager - even Pep - is going to struggle to keep them out of "the zone"!From April they've got Spurs away, Leicester, Liverpool, City away, Arsenal and the last game of the season is Burnley away and that could be a relegation decider.

I just don't think any manager who's decent will get much more out of that squad. One manager who I thought might be decent for them is Wenger - the longer Arsenal drift mid table, it shows what a good job he did. He's well respected and could start a "philosophy" and bring through some great players.

Actually, there's one guy who would lift the WHOLE LEAGUE if he came back to Newcastle for a few months. I'd love to see KK back and I reckon they'd love it as well. Honestly, can you imagine how top it would be if he took control till the end of the season! I'd buy a ST! :)

I genuinely will be fascinated to see how this pans out.

You're more likely to buy an STD!

They can spend 300 Million £ this window without FFP Sanction because of Ashley's greedy behavior for the last year's.

Also Newcastle will probably get a new Shirt Sponsor and other Lucrative Deals.

I would expect City to place any employee's who agree to go there on gardening leave, especially at that level.

Marwood is not a City employee but neither are most of our coaches under our strange arrangements.

And was given a fair crack of the whip before getting the chop which while the sacking was badly handled was inevitable really.

Yes - he lasted 15 months following the takeover which, considering he wasn’t even appointed by our owner, is more than anyone could’ve expected really. Plenty of new owners come into clubs and sack the current manager either straight away or shortly after. We got pelters for the Hughes sacking yet I don’t ever remember Stoke getting pelters for sacking Megson the day they were taken over by that Icelandic bloke, or Al Fayed getting pelters for sacking Micky Adams just after buying Fulham even though Adams had just got them promoted.

And up grade our computer security ;)

if they dont sack Bruce soon SSN presenters are going to start crying the desperation for his sacking is or his pridicted sacking is making them look foolish

Take it as a compliment. They want to ape our business model which will boil the piss of the usual suspects even more.
