Newcastle buyout

[JeremyPaxton]

Stavely has some huge calls to make and now. If she gets the managerial appoint wrong they could easily go down and that will set the project back years with EFL tough rules on FFP. Might sound mad but I’d personally go fo someone like Allardyce steady the ship get themselves firmly mid table and build from there. There really aren’t that many experienced PL managers obviously available that pretty much guarantee not going down.

She’s not really in charge. She’s the figurehead to make the club look less like a Saudi vehicle. Her role is to do what the Saudi’s tell her.
She put in barely any equity

Going for Rangnick. Bollocks, maybe they aren’t going to fuck it up.

 

[spursfan77]

Rangnick is one of the names who has been discussed in the past and remains in the thinking. The 63-year-old German, who is currently the head of sports and development at Russian club Lokomotiv Moscow, has held a series of coaching and executive positions most noticeably at RB Leipzig where he was the coach but also helped oversee the expansion of the Red Bull group as director of football.
Rangnick was interviewed for the job of Everton manager before Carlo Ancelotti was appointed and was also wanted as England manager by Dan Ashworth when he was the FA’s technical director. Rangnick speaks perfect English and, for a long time, has been intrigued by the prospect of working in the Premier League and is also understood to prefer an executive rather than a coaching role at this stage of his career.

Newcastle have also considered Jason Wilcox, the Manchester City academy director, and a range of other candidates.

To be honest I don't think it really matters, they will most likely get it right eventually. I think with that much money at their disposal, some sort of success will most likely always be a matter of when and not if.

Yeah. I was just hoping they’d balls it up.

They won't fuck it up they don't have our leadership.

 

[spursfan77]

They won't fuck it up they don't have our leadership.

It’s the geordies though, they’ll have to work hard to pull that club out of its trophy hoodoo. Got nothing to do with our owners.

 

[ajspurs]

Yeah. I was just hoping they’d balls it up.

They easily still could short term but just couldn't see it long term. I know we've seen it before but it's just crazy how a team can practically be handed a golden ticket to success.

I still hate people saying they and their fans deserve it, do they fuck. Maybe they deserve to not have Mike Ashley, but they don't deserve to all of a sudden become the richest club in the world, no team does.

Given that Graeme Jones was assistant manager to Roberto Martinez at Swansea, Wigan, and Everton what are the odds Martinez ends up at Tyneside?

Rangnick as sporting director and Martinez as manager would be a big coup for Newcastle.

 

[rossdapep]

I'd love to think people in football would turn them down knowing where the money comes from and who they are working for.

Sadly, it just isn't spoken enough about in football bar a limited few and quickly gets pushed out of discussions. Therefore not enough are conscious or concerned about it.

 

[WalkerboyUK]

We're the ideal opponent for a newly energised team. We'll be piss poor next Sunday and they'll beat us

What’s newly energised about them?
A new owner makes no difference on the pitch right now and (as I have already said) it’s actually affected morale of some players quite negatively.
New owners aren’t going to set tactics for their match against us and, in all likelihood, Bruce will still be boss next weekend.

Martinez would be great if he went there, he is bollocks manager, average at best, they wouldnt be winning anything anytime soon

 

[McFlash]

I fully support him in this.

I'll be honest, I was turning against Levy due to recent events but this whole Newcastle thing has swung the pendulum back in his favour.
I've realised that I would much rather have Levy in charge of us than pretty much anybody else.
I would not want to be in the predicament that Newcastle fans currently are, it must be horrible.
There's a weird mix of excitement that you've just become the richest club in the world, mixed with the fact that you've got to completely comprise your morals to keep supporting the club you love.

Give me our owners over that shit any day.

 

[McFlash]

I agree but let’s not pretend that Levy’s complaint about this will have anything to do with the morality.

It’s 100% about how it damages Spurs as a business.

Damned if he does, damned if he doesn't.

He's protecting the best interests of Spurs, that'll do for me.

 

[McFlash]

It died as soon as the premier League was formed, and it became all about TV deals and revenue streams.

Support your local team instead. More rewarding.

My local team wear red...
I just can't bring myself to like them and I've tried.

At the end of the day once 1 top player goes there the rest will follow ala chelski

Unless Joe spends we're fucked and this Jewish thing doesn't help, sorry I support spurs , why aren't the goons called yids ?

I'm pissed, drinking all day but if we are saying we ain't getting any investment from the Arabs because we are a Jewish club then let's get used to mid table because that's what we are looking at
For me I've always hated this yid thing, I'm not Jewish and never seen myself as such but if you support spurs you're a yid. Bollox, I support Tottenham hotspur fc Church of England myself but you can be any religion who cares ?
The poch era was our one chance with this regime, levy blew it

 

[Flynn]

Think you’re overplaying the race/religion thing there. There is plenty of Arab investors around good and bad. There is plenty of Jewish investors around good and bad, pick a region/race/religion and the same is true.

I for one would rather midtable than take the money of any morally corrupt entity.

Me too, except when you view the match day threads
Ffs we all know the calibre of players we need now there's another team above us in the pecking order

The same can be said of actors. Sadly Ricky Gervais was/is right - If ISIS set up a streaming platform 90% of actors would be on the phone to their agents to try and get them a gig on it.

It might also make the PL so strong that it effectively becomes the super league making it the place everyone wants to play their football (already coming close to that). With so many players to choose from then it could be possible for many teams to get a decent team together with a good coach.

I'm completely against the buy out on moral grounds, I just don't necessarily think it will destroy Spurs.
