Xela Posted July 31, 2021 Share Posted July 31, 2021 It is something I don't understand - why give him a new contract? Similar to when Lerner gave Lambert a new contract after we won a few games at the start of the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He doesn't understand football. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But he will keep them in the Premier league, on a fairly modest budget. They'll finish 12-16th every season. Thats all Ashley needs to promote his businesses until eventually a ludicrous offer to sell the club comes in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davkaus Posted August 2, 2021 Share Posted August 2, 2021 https://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/callum-wilson-makes-graeme-jones-21201344.amp Quote Callum Wilson has revealed Newcastle United assistant manager is a 'little bit more tactically aware and up to date' than head coach Steve Bruce.Jones joined Bruce's coaching staff in January this year and while Newcastle initially continued on their dire run of two wins in 21 matches, they ended the season winning five of their last nine matches to pull clear of relegation trouble. The arrival of the former Belgium, Everton and Wigan assistant manager coincided with a change in formation and there were a number of conspiracy theories that emerged as a result. Many suggested it was Jones' system that provided the improvement, while there was talk that Jones wasn't Bruce's appointment. That has been flatly denied by Bruce on a number of occasions but now Wilson, while speaking to Newcastle legend Alan Shearer in an interview with The Athletic, has offered an insight into how Bruce, Jones, Steve Agnew and Stephen Clemence operate as a coaching staff. “I think Graeme Jones coming in as a coach (in January), definitely complemented the manager because he’s a little bit more tactically aware and up to date, whereas the manager has his different strengths and attributes," Wilson revealed. "When you see the results towards the back end of the season and the way we were in games, we had more of a style and philosophy. That will happen from the start of the season with a good coach around to help out the previous coaches. “We’ll have a good season this year, definitely. I’m going to be on it, Allan is going to be on it — and I’ll be kicking him up the a*** to make sure he is! Jonjo (Shelvey), is almost fit now, Ryan Fraser is fit and getting games in, we’ve got Fabby (Fabian Schar), who is great on the ball and who just needs some more game time. “You hear the outside stuff and people calling for the manager’s head, but sometimes change isn’t always a good thing. We just need to make sure we’re doing everything we can to start the season right. I'd love to hear a little more about what those strengths and attributes are, Callum. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jacketspuds Posted August 8, 2021 Share Posted August 8, 2021 Steve “we’ve got no money” Bruce is about to sign Willock for £25m. They will have spent something like £30m more than us during this window to this point. Will be interesting to hear Bruce’s annual update on our spending when the time comes.

Right, well that’s net spend and not the same thing, we’d already spent on Buendia, Bailey and perhaps Ings whilst hoping Jack would stay so it’s irrelevant.

Annoyman Posted August 9, 2021 Share Posted August 9, 2021 Remember "if Ashley Young is worth £9 million, no disrespect, what must Gary McSheffrey be worth?" As if the answer wasn't just straightforwardly "about 3.5 you daft ****" 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
