Should have said, up until the contract extension signed last year, Ole was earning more than Klopp.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik and Imran hold a long overdue conversation about United's awful league form with 1 win in 7. They discuss a disappointing draw at Bournemouth, a not so disappointing draw against Liverpool and a crushing defeat at Chelsea - Is time nearly over for Erik Ten Hag?
Then in a special second half of the pod, Nik welcomes Natalie ( https://twitter.com/natalie_17) to discuss the fortunes of Manchester United Women as they booked a place in the FA Cup Final after a historic first ever win vs. Chelsea.

He wasn't. France football or l'equipe reported salaries which had Klopp earning more than Ole even last year.
The irony being they don't have a lot of money.
Yes the potential new owners are filthy rich, but they can't start throwing around money anymore like City, unless they start cooking the books and creating false sponsorship deals.
Their commercial revenue is peanuts so they have to stick within the realms of FFP, which will massively limit their spending power.
Not getting into debate on this, but Klopp was earning under £7m untill his contract extension in December.
Still, if theres even a ounce of truth in the Poch rumours, which I doubt there is, it will blow the managerial salary structure to smithereens!!
As per French papers he was earning 13 million at that time.
Yeh, but that spending power has no effect on who they have as manager. It might effect how much they can spend on players though.
Isn't there a school of thought that Newcastle won't have to worry for years about FFP because of how tight Ashley was? I read somewhere they could spend a couple of hundred million before they would raise alarms.
He is Poch.
Doesn't ffp play a part in how much Newcastle can spend?.
of course it does. People are getting very excited for no reason.
remember when QPR were meant to have a whole load of cash! There’s numerous examples. And yes, much more difficult to get around (legally) FFP - it needs to be a slow burn.
I'm assuming the spotlight will be on them due to what's happening to city.
Ah yes, French papers writing about a German manager in an English league
He's on £14m now, was on £7m.
It's the report on highest paid managers.Ah yes, French papers writing about a German manager in an English league
He's on £14m now, was on £7m.
2020 and still people use this. Italian paper was giving min by min analysis of Brazilian player from Ukrain league moving to English league while English media was busy writing random stories and adding few millions to his transfer fee.

After what Must feel like a lifetime under Ashley, if this goes through then I cannot imagine what this must feel like for Newcastle fans
People stating the obvious “well it’s not going to guarantee success straight away, it could take 3-4 years” bla bla bla
well derrrr, that’s obvious
but atleast Newcastle fans will have a project to look forward to for the next few years, whilst we all watch out of interest
if the rumours on Poch are true (at the moment you take it with a pinch of salt) then I see no reason why he’s turn it down
they are a decent sized Club Newcastle, massive following! Dwarfs Cities following, loud and passionate, and a project to turn this big club into a power house
I think It would be an excellent move for Poch personally
he’s not a Klopp, or a Pep, but your a fool if you think he isn’t the hottest managerial property on the market at the moment regardless to wether you think he’s over rated, that is his current standing in world football
And new owners worth £200 billion or whatever it is could probably lay out a nice attractive package for someone like Poch with an exciting project to boot
interesting times

Pochettino would be wonderful appointment for Newcastle if they can get him. As a prospective Newcastle manager, he basically ticks every box, i.e. having decent amount of Premier League experience with two different clubs, the fact that all 3 of his managerial posts so far have been successful ones (regardless of how things ended at Espanyol and Tottenham), a proven record of building squads and developing players (the number of players that improved under his watch at Espanyol, Southampton and Tottenham is considerable), consistently achieving positions in the upper echelons of the Premier League, Champions League experience including knockout stage experience, generally playing pretty attractive football, being freely available etc.
I know plenty of Newcastle fans, I as I have family in the city. None of the ones I've met in person are expecting them to become the next Chelsea or City or anything, and they'd be over the moon if they could become the next Leicester or Wolves. They want the team to show more ambition than just treading water in the Premier League and clinging on to the TV money (and it could be argued that their 2 relegations were facilities by poor decisions made by Ashley), do better in the domestic cups (between 2006 and this season they didn't make one single quarter-final appearance in either competition), and improve the derelict training facilities (Man City's kids surely have better facilities than the Newcastle first-team) and youth academy. That seems perfectly reasonable to me. Plus the club should spend money improving, renovating and modernising their stadium (not expanding it but sprucing it up as it is crumbling) and look to increase their commercial revenue which is no higher now than it was when Ashley took over 13 years ago.

I, for one, cannot wait for the caf meltdown if this happens. I've already bought the popcorn.
Oh dang. This would be a great appointment for Newcastle. With this, and the potential of a big transfer kitty in a time where a lot of clubs would take a lower sum for players, Newcastle could have a uptick in fortunes fairly quickly.
I think people should put this interest into perspective. Poch within the last few years has turn't down Madrid, had Tottenham in the upper selection of the league's standings and has played consistently in Europe in the UCL. In what world is migrating to a relegation zone level Newcastle seen as a logical decision or good opportunity ?
Irrespective of the owners pockets, I struggle to see how the Saudis can install finances into the club without breaching the regulations set in place. Poch recent comments about Tottenham sound as if Levy is having some private conversations regarding him returning to management. I think it's more likely he will return to Spurs as opposed to Newcastle.

Pochettino is true to his colour, He said
- He will never manage Barca because He managed Espanyol
- He will never manage Arsenal because He managed Tottenham
Beautifully understated humour. Really quite subtle, and funnier for it. Smashing!
Thought he said he could never manage Newcastle because their stripiness reminded him of Barca.
Me too. Wait for the same people who couldn't wait to get rid of LVG so we wouldn't miss out on Mourinho ....
Good to see people have flagged up the FFP problem. Unless that is jettisoned (and I can't imagine why), then there's only so much money you can put in relative to what you make. It'll be a slow build, no matter which manager they get. Not exactly quaking in my boots...
You have to wonder how owners like Levy will fair in the aftermath of Covid. I hope that the fair play regulations are enforced, but if the Saudis have money to spend and the likes of Levy tighten the belt, the football authorities might not be too fussy. A manager looking for a club with money to spend may not have many options for a while to come, and even with FFP, Saudi money would almost certainly take Newcastle away from its annual relegation worries.
For me, a bigger question for Pochettino would be whether he wants to spend his best years on a rebuilding exercise and be Newcastle's Mancini or Pelligrini. The club has a remarkably loyal fan base for a relatively small city and a good underlying commercial operation, probably better than City's when their current owners took over. He would still be looking at 3-4 seasons, though, before he could expect to be competing for silverware, assuming Liverpool stay in the top four and Utd continue to progress and based on how long it took City. There is also a long-standing reluctance of players, particularly from overseas, to move to a club so far from the big population centres, and, frankly, in such a cold part of the country (and I lived up there for a while, so I've experienced the climate).
There will probably be better opportunities elsewhere at clubs with a regular manager churn, but I think the effects of Covid could turn the football world upside down in the short term.
Sarri likely to be sacked with Pochettino coming in
That would be amazing but where did you read this?
Pochettino has won nothing, that's my only concern with him.
Poch will win when he's at a better club, I'm quite confident about that.
It's like how Suarez was underwhelming in big games for Liverpool (or "when it really mattered") but shone at Barca.
Sometimes the step up is exactly what a player or manager needs to win trophies.
Just my guess
I don't know if missing out on Pochettino was the wrong decision but I'm not sure that keep OGS is the right one...
NO UPDATES
Sorry if you were expecting something.
Anyway, the talk around him has died down. Is there anyway he could go?
Juventus maybe?

If Barcelona had any sense (which they don't) they'd consider hiring this guy.
Manchester City and Chelsea are now some the strongest team in England due to significant investment. If Newcastle gets Poch and he is backed by Saudi money, it is inevitable that Newcastle will get into the Champions league and maybe also win the league. The only thing that might hinder that from happening is financial fair play rule.
Oh please let this happen so it can stop the idea of him coming here. Tired to death of the idea. We have a manager, and I will back him until his not. End of.
He's already said he'll never coach them due to his ties with Espanyol
So where will he go now the Newcastle takeover is off?
Nuts to the Saudis, if Newcastle get Poch then they'll dominate the world forever. The great thing about Poch is, he's got the most delicious tasting bollox. Ain't that right, @Amadaeus?
