Wonder if they'll claim that Emery bottled it, Garry Cook style.
What defhuk has Hesenhutl done to deserve that?They need a stepping stone manager to look after what will be a stepping stone squad.
Newcastle couldn't go to Guardiola or Mbappe tomorrow and convince them to join. It has to be an iterative evolution, going from relegation fodder to midtable to Europa League places to top 4 to title challenging. Obviously, with unlimited funds that process can be sped up. But you can't really skip over any steps.
What they do next should ideally be done with a view towards sustainability - because they can't realistically sack the manager, sell 24 sub-par players and sign 24 superior players every single summer.
The Saudi's first choice for manager should be somebody who is can reliably get them into around 7th to 5th place. And the players they sign should be top 4 potential or thereabouts so that, at worst, they can become squad players in the long term.
Hassenhutl fits the bill for next manager, imo. Lingard and Henderson would be ideal in terms of possible player acquisitions. Maybe Bale and Sterling for a bit of additional experience.
It won't be until they're established in the top 4 that they'll start competing for Europe's elite managers and players.

You don't have to imagine, that argument was going to be made even if they hire Shearer.Imagine even Newcastle having a better manager than us if Emery had gone there
They have had a better manager basically since March 11 2016 when Steve McLaren left there...Imagine even Newcastle having a better manager than us if Emery had gone there
They definitely fecked up with the leaks. I'd be surprised if Howe isn't the next manager now.google translate said:No matter how much noise there was yesterday in another country, within the club there was transparency and loyalty with the Roig family and with my squad, which is maximum and for me it is the most important thing. Villarreal CF is my home and I am 100% committed. Honestly, I am grateful for the interest of a great club, but even more grateful to be here and that is why I communicated to Fernando Roig my decision to want to continue being part of this project because of the commitment and respect that I perceive from the club and from my players , which is mutual and reciprocal. I want to thank the fans for the support they have always shown me. On Sunday we have a very important game and I hope that together we can achieve victory. See you at the Estadio de la Cerámica. Gràcies, groguets! Endavant !!!
We dont play Villareal until the 23rd. I would take another draw and beat Young Boys at OT.Chasing Emery like that felt like they're trying to run before walking. Shame though, we could've done with some disruption at Villarreal as we go there next week.
Yes, an early 17:45 kickoff as well.We dont play Villareal until the 23rd. I would take another draw and beat Young Boys at OT.

Do you really need a football person though to know that leaking a job offer while someone is still on their current role is bad formIt does seem like the board/owners are lacking experience in the footballing industry and it might end up costing them here. I'm a bit surprised they didn't get a 'football person' as a part of the consortium prior to the takeover.
For what it's worth, I think Emery will still join but he needs to save some face in Spain, probably because he's wise enough to know he'll be sacked within four years and be back in Spain looking for a job.
Nope, he isn't going anywhere. We have got the minimum results to assure that.Hold off for just a minute Newcastle. Ole should hopefully be available after this weekend.
Pretty sure that's why he eventually said no to Celtic.Emery to Howe is a big downgrade, I quite like Eddie but doesn’t he not like living away from the south of England? Sure I’ve read that loads of times.
Toon Army hate him as much as Bruce for his 2007 spell. You're right though, he went in at Everton at similar stage of 2017-18 season when they were bottom 3 I think and kept them up comfortably so they do need that type and then move on to more progressive 2-3 year manager.Surprised they are not phoning Big Sam yet. Give him a blank cheque in Jan and they will survive the drop, then go for someone more fancy in the summer, fighting relegation with half the squad knowing they won’t be there next season is a tricky task.
You don't fancy us being Rodgersed?Triple Brendans wages, whatever it takes to get him on board. Anything to get him off the market before Ole is sacked. Please.
