Matty 0 Posted January 12, 2008 Share Posted January 12, 2008 NUFC Official Statement Official Newcastle United statement from Chairman Chris Mort: "In the process of appointing a new manager at Newcastle United, we have identified and spoken to a number of potential candidates. "This is a very important appointment - our first since taking control of the Club - and we will take as long as required to make sure we bring the right person. "That person will be someone we believe will be able to deliver successful results and performances to accompany that. "We can confirm that Harry Redknapp is one of the people the Club has spoken to. However, Harry made it clear he is happy with life on the South Coast and we wish him well for the future. "We will continue to devote our time to the very important task of selecting the right person to manage Newcastle United and we will make a further announcement when appropriate."

Isegrim 10017 Posted January 12, 2008 Share Posted January 12, 2008 Well, I just hope the number of people they have spoken to is actually higher than "1". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inexperience shining through, they get rid of BSA and had yet to even speak to HR, they get the knock back and now the transfer window is slipping away and they go on about time?,sounds like they really thought about this one like Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom 14021 Posted January 12, 2008 Share Posted January 12, 2008 Well im not a Redknapp fan but id rather we got someone decent. Lets see how Pearson can look after us, hopefully long enough to keep us floating but not well enough to pull a Roeder so we can make the right choice!

Kid Dynamite 7312 Posted January 12, 2008 Share Posted January 12, 2008 I wouldnt be surprised if redknapp had shown an interest in taking over while sam was still here, and then after we sacked him the cockney tart got a nosebleed once he hit hemel hempstead!

Offshore Toon 0 Posted January 12, 2008 Share Posted January 12, 2008 I'm slightly worried about who we'll appoint if Harry was our number 1 target. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peasepud 59 Posted January 12, 2008 Share Posted January 12, 2008 I'm slightly worried about who we'll appoint if Harry was our number 1 target. Look Jose we've always wanted you and think you're the 2nd best person to manage us just behind *coughs* Redknapp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Fish 11079 Posted January 12, 2008 Share Posted January 12, 2008 could be that this is all a smokescreen so Jose can come in under the radar, with bobby Robson in some kind of Overlord role, Shearer as Jose's number two and Keegan as the morale officer.... ...

spongebob toonpants 4183 Posted January 12, 2008 Share Posted January 12, 2008 Obviously not having one clear person in mind, why oh why didnt they leave Big Sam in untill the end of the season, wankers! Ive got no problem with the timing of the sacking, as I said pre sacking either suppot him and bring in new players to improve the squad or sack him. They had no confidence in the players he wanted or his ability to improve the team so they got rid. Its not as if Sam was likely to get many points from or upcoming raft of fixtures anyway. This season is already a write off, esp with the facup draw, and we will have to really go some to get relegated so I think the sacking is fine. I dont even think there is any reason to rush in appointing the next bloke. I have no real reason so far to feel concerned Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
