I would have thought the club would have something prepared. Terrible sportswashing. It's the perfect answer for Howe considering that his job is to be the football manager and the rest has very little to do with him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Polarboy 2311 Posted November 10, 2021 Author Share Posted November 10, 2021 Correct me if I'm wrong, but did Pep, Tuchel, and any other Chelsea manager during the Abramovic era, and Bruno Lange, Santo ever get asked if they were comfortable about where the financing of the club came from. If journalists asked the same questions of everyone it would be one thing, but they clearly don't. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Polarboy 2311 Posted November 10, 2021 Author Share Posted November 10, 2021 The worst thing about it is that a lot of, if not most, of those journalists are only asking that question as box ticking exercise to cover their own backs. It's a pantomime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Polarboy 2311 Posted November 10, 2021 Author Share Posted November 10, 2021 I see he's moving the family up after Christmas, so that's good. Commuting between Newcastle and the South coast wouldn't really be workable or desirable logistically even if he wanted to of course. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gemmill 42987 Posted November 10, 2021 Share Posted November 10, 2021 The more I think about that question about the human rights stuff, and the way the journalist followed it up saying "but life's not all about football is it?" How many questions did Mancini and Guardiola have to answer about Qatari human rights issues at their first City press conferences? I wonder how much this bloke has been paid filing gushing stories about Man City and its managers over the past 13 years, and how many zeroed in on human rights abuses. Same goes for the likes of Delaney and Holt. I totally understand that there's a problem here, but either be consistent with the hand wringing, or fuck off. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Special treatment for everything Newcastle, and we saw that with the Bruce sacking as well. They can all bugger right off. We're in the best place we've been for years, despite being 5 points off safety Brilliant seeing the energy brought in by Howe already. Get the whole place galvanized and reach January in a salvageable position, when we can piss off a few more people and clubs in the transfer market 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean what is it they expect Howe to say in reply?
