Levy should have sold Kane, you can’t be having want away players (especially your main man) as it’s going to screw up any cohesion and team spirit.  

That is 100% bang on. 

Levy not managing his club very well at the moment. I bet he regrets getting rid of Pochettino..it all started to unravel then

Not trying to score internet points Triple T. I’m simply very concerned at the way the summer recruitment was handled and it needs to change asap. I’m allowed to be concerned for the state of my football club, am I not? 
You’ve clearly spoken to Sean, who has clearly acknowledged to you that things haven’t been working fantastically. So I am right to be concerned then, yes? 
As for the naming of the individual - he works at a professional football club with Premier League ambition, in a major role within that organisation and has conducted public interviews with the press - are you suggesting that because he’s your mate he should be exempt from public scrutiny - the scrutiny of paying supporters of 40 years. Is it any different to calling out a manager, coach, player, owner, etc? 
Sounds very much like he doesn’t want the role he’s been ‘stuck’ in, as you say. 
Even more reason why my post carries more relevance. It’s clearly an issue. 
As I said in the opening post - I have no personal issue with Sean, and I’m sure he’s a nice guy and is a good data analyst. I hope he returns to the role he enjoys and has the skill set for as soon as possible. He obviously doesn’t want to be in the role he’s had to fulfil, which 100% backs up the main point of this thread - we need an experienced head of recruitment asap so that Sean can go back to what he’s comfortable doing. 
Your replies on this clearly suggest that both you, and Sean himself, know this to be true and I wish him all the best back in the role he is good at. 

I’d politely suggest you stop getting personal. The back office team in the club really don’t deserve to be dragged through the dirt because of your angry wankfest. Yes there are issues and we all acknowledge that. Also sure the club do, but calling out individuals by name is not appropriate and you should rewind a bit tbh. At the end of the day it’s a bloke doing his best and you are calling him useless in the most public way. Not fair at all

We all know that recently @TomF and the forum went through pain dealing with Mashton going to Ipswich posts, and threads were deleted. Don’t assume this won’t end the same way as you can’t just make up theories about individuals to suit some theory you may have. 

The issue I have with this thread is a staff member of the club has been called out individually for doing a bad job in one posters opinion. He has even been named. That’s not cool IMHO.

Far better to criticise the role / job title than the actual name of the person. These are real people who read stuff and it effects them. All for a few internet points - utterly pathetic tbh

The organisational structure  of the club is under review and change, and yes it needs too - but don’t have a pop at individuals “stuck” in roles they didn’t sign up to. 

If you want a dirty lunch go to lowandslowbarbeque-

Pulled pork, brisket etc with sides. Don’t over order but delish. It’s “fast” food btw but worth it

@Harry I know Sean personally well. He admits he is snowed under and the infrastructure around him his not right. However your OP comes off as very critical of him. He is a local lad- went to school in Posset and is a true red. 

Baker as a left winger? Are you on Absinthe?

Someone like Conte would surely be a front runner.. but perhaps more prudent to go for a Rodgers or Potter.

Rodgers = Liverpool

Potter = never heard of him

Conte has to be the favourite. 343 might actually suit them al la Chelsea

Comedy good watching this. Hope the Liverpool player is ok

Solskjaer out of his depth totally. Man U have a great squad but he has no clue of his best formation. Cannot get a tune out of Sancho and the defenders is all over the place.

You can probably look in the match day thread.

I’d give it a miss if I were you. It’s normally posters calling each other ****** ***** randomly. 

Poster 1 “You are a ***”

Poster 2 “Yeah, well you are an even bigger ***”

5 ready made players in January and other clubs wanting to buy KP, COD etc?

Ill have some of what you are smoking

Sod this. Wet and cold and pissed off . **** off

***** sake

Jesus - biblical right now 

I have two tickets for ENG vs AUS on 30/10 at the T20 world cup, in Dubai going spare, as i can no longer travel

DM me if interested

Yeah it was horrible. The Cumberland basin was jammed for ages and loads of road rage. I’ll be getting AG2 again

I wonder how much the sea level rises when @Bat Fastardgoes for a swim in the sea ?

Not a clue but that Victoria Coren Mitchell would seriously get it

It will be like Man City when they bought Robinho. It will take them a good few years to get serious but even then recruitment won’t be easy. The top players will always be more tempted by Mancland, Liverpool and London clubs

Jesus. Talk about blowing up. Wtf?

To be fair im not religious, but i have to say God has played a blinder in sending Joey to the Mem. The omnipotent one is a Red 

Barton is a proper nutter, and frankly i dont think there is a better match for comedy value.

Admittedly, Mike Ashley was a right ar$ehole at times, but maybe Newcastle needed him to tighten the purse strings to enable them to be sold to extremely wealthy businessmen? 

I read somewhere due to running profits the last few seasons, they can spend 200M and still be within FFP. That is still miles away from the Mancs /Liv/Chelski

It has absolutley no comparison to lansdown and his detractors (me included), to say so shows a lack of understanding.

St James park is literally falling apart due to lack of investment, unlike Ashton gate.

Their training facilities are pathetic and outdated, unlike lansdowns!

Just two examples, there's loads more

Well, he has left Newcastle virtually debt free, and when they got relegated he coughed up his own money to pay the wages, and they came straight back up. Had they not been promoted it could have been another Sunderland. I don't think his management of the club was as bad as some portray. A lot of the dislike from him was the "cockney mafia" stuff. He doesn't have a good public image either but i take your points about the stadium and training ground.
