dAVe80 Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 The way Newcastle have set the board up now is interesting. McClaren, Graham Carr, and Bobby Moncur are all football men, and are part of a four man board of directors with Lee Charnley. Ashley has stood down form the board, so it would seem that they're letting football men get on with running things, with minimal input from the owner (this remains to be seen of course!).

Seat68 Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 From a retail perspective, and my dealings with Ashley, there is no way at all he will not have massive input into the running of NUFC. Its not in his nature. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zatman Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 They thought they were getting De Boer or Bielsa of course they will turn on him quickly He is just a small upgrade on Pardew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeilS Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 They thought they were getting De Boer or Bielsa of course they will turn on him quickly He is just a small upgrade on Pardew I wouldn't say he is an upgrade on Pardew, unless by upgrade you mean less of a tosser? McClaren has had a charmed managerial career in my opinion, and I will never know how he managed to secure the England Manager's job when 6 months earlier Midlesbrough fans were throwing season tickets at him after his team were thrashed by DOL's Villa team. He won the League cup, and had a flukey run in Europe before finally being thrashed by the first decent team they encountered, which is not enough in my opinion to get the top job in England. I think being English when the press were clamouring for an English manager was his only qualification. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
