If you’ve missed the Newcastle stories today then you clearly have not been on social or any kind of media. The Newcastle takeover story is massive and it is all that is being talked about out there right now. The club are close to being taken over by mega-rich Saudi owners. It would be amazing […]

A good fit? Honestly, I am a bit baffled but Simon Phillips again… suppose

So basically, what I have gathered… another club with huge ambitions, probably if they wanted to (although talk of not doing this and having a project), able to give Frank whatever amount of money to spend each transfer window on high quality players, only for him to probably not be able to fit into a team/coach to play as a cohesive unit with any clear identity… then try throw more money at it again and again (huge talk of him wanting Rice at all costs here last January and again this summer)… hmm…. a good fit?

Even the project talk and youth players, Frank tapped into the youth academy here and at Derby, this eye for a young player is given to him although when you consider how famed our academy has been for years - just look at the FA Youth cup wins - its not exactly an unknown secret. 

For a project that you want to accelerate to this level of ambition eventually that they’ve talked about, at a club who are owned by personnel worth £320bn, that is still a bad job for an inexperienced coach who had huge resources here and couldn’t make it work in 18 months where identity and playing style was severely lacking.

If they are ambitious and want a playing style and an identity to bring the fans onside, they will more than likely get someone who has some experience at reasonably big club level or someone who has been part or delivered a project to some sort of reasonable standard.  I suppose finding them is difficult but the likes of Lampard and Howe will not be top of the pile, 100%.
