Kid Dynamite 7014 Posted August 13, 2019 Author Share Posted August 13, 2019 Probably, maybe, possibly. He's had bad PR for over a decade. He's had to answer questions in front of a parliamentary committee about how he treats supports direct workers. Did he change? Did he fuck. You are seriously overestimating the man Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wykikitoon 20029 Posted October 10, 2019 Share Posted October 10, 2019 Aye decent read Quote I was really pleased to see Matty Longstaff scoring the winning goal for Newcastle; he was great when he was training with us and it was a good decision from Steve Bruce to make him play. I was also happy to see a few Geordies playing together at the same time; Carroll, Sean and Matty; surely it shouldn’t be difficult to see the benefits of investing in the Academy? £4m every year for 10 years means £40 m (one player); one ‘Longstaff’ every year for ten years seems good business to me.

Ugly Mackems 133 Posted July 1, 2021 Share Posted July 1, 2021 Are we glad it (probably) ends any lingering hope he'll turn up back at SJP if this takeover ever rears it's ugly head? Would anyone have really wanted him back? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would anyone have really wanted him back? I reckon no with respect of the takeover. I mean it depends a bit on the nature of the takeover, but if it was the Saudi one then I think we could probably find alternatives who might better fit the direction we wanted to go (although he'd still be a steady pair of hands in a transitional sense). If it was a run of the mill takeover (i.e. a sideways step financially but ideally with some more long term ambition) then I would have had him back though. I thought he was great for the team and the club in many senses. I appreciate that's not your view like, but I was really impressed with him.

I thought he was great for the team and the club in many senses. I appreciate that's not your view like, but I was really impressed with him. I think bringing in Benitez 18 months ago would have been the right move. He knew the squad, the area, he would still have been welcomed back by the majority, and given that an 'elite' coach would likely have not wanted to join a club that would be unable to truly compete for major honours, or qualify for the Champions League for a few seasons at least. As you say he would have been a perfect transitional appointment. With the Saudi's reported ambitions we'd have surely been aiming to finish as high up the league as possible while improving the foundations, and Benitez would be the man to deliver that. Then, when we had improved the squad after a couple of seasons pass the baton to a younger, more contemporary manager who could take us further. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monkeys Fist 42260 Posted July 1, 2021 Share Posted July 1, 2021 If the takeover does happen, I reckon they’ll still go for him- imagine, unlimited funds and pissing off the scouse Mackems in one fell swoop.
