[pboromag]

i wished i was duped into 5 mill and a short term contarct

do we really want someone that gullible running everything footy

it wasnt like anyone didnt know about ash

truth is he is and others are mercenaries

they need money

ho many on here have done jobs just for the money or untill something else turned up

Ashley is a liar and a conman

KK took him to court and won, he certainly did a good number on Rafa with his cockney barrow boy patter.

I am longing for the day when the Club is rid of this cancerous regime. Mike the saviour of The Toon aye right.

They did look at us and another club i believe - about 7 years ago but hte prices of English clubs they didn't like.

Or something like that, i remember them being linked anyway.

Let's be totally honest. 99.9% of all managers are looking after number 1, first and foremost. Possibly 100% but I'll leave the margin.
Newcastle United can attract any manager that isn't already at a massive club and/or isn't super well paid by a club.

When you offer wages of 5 million a year you're going to get the Lions share of the managerial picks and all of those managers will stand on a pedestal and tell the fans how it was an easy choice to come to the club because it's got amazing fans and stadium and seeped in tradition and history, etc etc etc etc.

They will all tell you their plans after asking for patience and caution and then they will get on with doing their best with what they have but not really giving too much of a toss if it all doesn't go to plan because they know that a sacking is a massive wage hand shake before they jump into the next managerial seat.

That's the reality of managers and it's only natural.

Football management is one of the few jobs you can constantly fail at and then be given the same job on more money a few months down the line

Wish my line of work was like that
