dylanisabaddog 4,868 Posted October 10, 2021 I thought there was an agreement between Premier League clubs not to poach each others managers during the season. Or did I imagine that? 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

robert choice 24 Posted October 10, 2021 I guess many modern day City fans are the equivalent to Poundland customers. Cheap and cheerful and hoping for a few run outs before it falls to pieces. Â Personally I'm more of an M&S fan preferring quality over quantity. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Baracouda 47 Posted October 10, 2021 Not sure if a 'top' manager would really want the Newcastle job, even if you had the unlimited cheque book. Someone like Potter would probably see it as a great opportunity, all depends on whether you get asked to go to Saudi embassy to pick up your p45. When you consider the top4 are playing very well, when Roman's Chelsea started spending, realistically it was just Man Utd/Arsenal and top4 was nearly guaranteed with the money. It was harder for Man City, but if memory serves correctly it was still more of a 3 way battle Man Utd/Chelsea/Arsenal and Pool whilst being good in cups were still a long way behind in the league. Spend 300m or 400m, I still think challenging for top4 against somewhat settled teams would be a challenge.

First game over 60 years ago so nothing modern but refuse to believe or accept that its better now. So where to next. A continent to buy a club. Then a hemisphere.

Well b back 3,190 Posted October 10, 2021 Apparently the football director will be appointed first ( guy from Dortmund ), they have been chatting for 18 months apparently and he will find ( or already has ) the new manager. There will be immediate spending on St James’s and the Academy ( just like Man City ) and like Man City they will spend a big chunk in January, again just like Man City that will be a mixture of big names and experienced players ( Man City bought Barry and I forget the centre half ). For those who want our club bought maybe Mike Ashley will oblige lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I said in another thread there will be stop gap signings in January to help avoid relegation. Potter is the same and will be cast aside once this season is over.
