I mean it’s an immeasurable catastrophe if we’ve sacked Nuno, told the players to prepare for Conte to lead training tomorrow, and the move collapses.
At this moment I’m not going to assume either outcome.

At this moment I’m not going to assume either outcome.
Young was already a wing back when he arrived at Inter and Perisic wasn't half as good as Son is by the time Conte rocked up. He's happy to mostly turn mediocre/decent wingers in to wing backs, but he isn't turning arguably the most dangerous attacker at the club in to one. Think Young and Moses more than an in his prime Son!
Utilizing our best players effectively while also reinforcing the squad to make us better?
Witchcraft!
No way. Reguilon is well suited to LWB, and if him and Sess are both injured, he'd be more likely to trial Bergwijn there than Son.
ANNOUNCE CONTE
If we were strong at forward I could see that but as it is even with Son we are way to think at striker for Conte's system.
I think Reggie is the perfect fit for the 3-5-2 as well so no need to force Son back there. If Son was a right sided player and we had someone to play up front with Kane then I could see it as we have no RWB.
Not a single post or message from one of the players talking about Nuno! It says a lot
Some of these players are a disgrace.
Hopefully they can't sleep tonight at prospect of Conte coming in
As you are pointing out, son’s finishing is way too good to have at wing back. He’ll be up top.
I think wingback benefits Reguilon, Davies (so he can LCB), Bergwijn, and Tanganga (probably better at RCB).
Possibly Lucas can back up the #10 role or a striker.
Since our wingers are a weak point and our only good one can play striker, the formation does not really hurt anyone. It does increase the competition for the #10 spot though.
Some are shitting themselves I bet
Maybe. We don’t know if they are instructed to keep these things off social media.
Lucas and Docherty are terrible options….Lucas always looks better centrally, he’s simply not a wide player.
Bergwijn maybe?
You want him dropped.
Some of you lot are in cloud cuckoo land. Kane is not on strike. Kane is done as a top player.
Please, I am ineffective at work again. Last Summer was a nightmare, and after they decide we get Nuno (I like him as person, just lousy coach)
Does Conte typically play with 2 strijers or one lone striker?
a lot on here said no chance to this, you have to believe
Under Nuno, sure I did.
Now Conte's coming? He's back on it mate. Hattrick in his first game only to lift up his shirt and reveal the message 'fuck you sammy' underneath.
Then immediately after sign a new contract for 50 quid a week and a packet of haribos, with the rest of his wages to be paid in your and

's weekly delivery of tears.
Let's assume for a second that Conte comes in. The whole world knows Newcastle has a giant pile of money burning a hole in their pocket, and a need to spend it to avoid relegation, no less. Meanwhile, if not the whole world, then all of the footballing world knows the reason, why Conte fell through in the summer. And therefore the promises that'll have been made to get it over the line this time.
Incomings to the PL in January are going to be hyperinflated prices!!! We might even see Levy experiencing what it's like to have balls squeezed really tight during negotiations
