If this had been an Ashley appointment there would have been hell on. As its the Murderers it's a stroke of Genius. I pray they go down

I wouldn't put their chances of survival above 50 / 50. They have another 9 games to play before they can sign anyone. If they don't get a new manager bounce they're pretty much screwed.

Aye, they've got Bournemouth, Norwich and Burnley coming up (all at home I think). For me that'll determine it. If they get 7 points then they'll probably not be too far off the pace come January. If they struggle and don't get shock results elsewhere they'll really struggle to sign people, and anyone who comes won't want a relegation wage drop which would knack them financially even assuming they come straight back

to be fair his record at bournemouth is impressive , hadn't realised they had been in very bottom tier when he took over, the major difference is he had years , patience with low expectations , he wont get any of that at the mags

tbf if a club has momentum its not impossible to climb to the Pre miership fairly quickly ( eg Wilder at Sheff Utd …..Pompey a few years back, Bournemouth under Howe ) …..staying in the Prem is not so easy

Exactly …..so if they think they are going to get similar Upgrades in the players they recruit i think they will be mistaken. Mbappe etc….no chance

If any of this is true it shows they must have done a shockingly small amount of due diligence (maybe not so different to Ashley after all!). With FFP (and big clubs who won't want them overtaking them) it was always going to be incredibly difficult to get them anywhere near the top 4 (which presumably is when they'd think it's worthwhile). Can't just fling money at it. Best case scenario for them would be about 5 years of building before having a hope. There was always going to be some negative reactions, as shown with the super league stuff, British fans aren't normally good at keeping quiet. After so long in the process of buying them you'd think they'd have had a clear idea of who they wanted in charge, which players would come, how long it would take to establish them as a potential top 4 challenger. The article might be bollocks, if not the mags might really live to regret these coming in

It all happened so quick in the end I think it was a bit of a knee jerk and trying to save face after so long trying to buy the club. They’ve not exactly had a warm welcome outside of Tyneside expect from Sky Sports and Jake Cvntphrey

So you are fairly happy with a southener who failed in his only venture north of Watford rather than two who live and breathe the North East with a passion for Newcastle United in particular ?

I'd have been happy with anyone who isn't Bruce to be honest, regardless of the takeover a change was needed.

If Howe can turn the team around and pick up some points and make going to watch us less like a Saudi prison sentence then he can be from Outer Mongolia for all I care. Hoping he has a post Souness - Roeder style effect on the team.
