a toilet would be a better chairman flushing the crap awayFor the life of me I cant understand why anyone would want them in charge. I'd much rather have anyone else now.

That may be correct?The transfer window opens at midnight on Sunday, unless the 2023-24 rules (not published yet I don't think) differ from how they have been for as long as I've been checking them (over 10 years now, precisely because of posts like this).
I refer you to page 239 of the Premier League Handbook Season 2022/23
V.2. The Summer Transfer Window in any year shall:
V.2.1. conclude at 17:00 on the Thursday before the commencement of the
relevant Season...
V.2.2. commence either: (a) at midnight on the last day of the Season; or (b) at
midnight on the date 12 weeks prior to the date on which it is to conclude
(in accordance with Rule V.2.1, above), whichever is the later.
The "12 weeks prior" clause doesn't apply as next season starts on 12 August, making twelve weeks earlier Thursday 10 May.

Totally. Even if there was no more money and even if they werent brilliant. Just a new broom, fresh ideas, a better working atmosphere, a chairman or CEO that hadnt pissed off 90% of the footballing world. It would be a massive boost to the whole club.For the life of me I cant understand why anyone would want them in charge. I'd much rather have anyone else now.
To be honest mate I wouldn't suggest anyone, there really is no point...whoever it is has no chance just like all the other enic managers.Not 3rd rate managers at all, not just 'flavour of the month' fashionable names.
Rodgers starts well & then seems to fade. No reason he couldn't do well here for a couple of seasons and get us over the hump.
Potter was the the chosen prem guy not long back, just because he couldn't sort the chelsea clusterfuck in a few months doesn't mean he would fail here.
Ange has done very well at Celtic.
Ok maybe some upcoming young coach from abroad or Carrick may be a good shout?
who would you suggest?

I'd take the Krays if they were still around and interested.I'd even take the sports washers now despite being strongly against that kind of thing for years. I'd may stop short at a murderous dictator, but then again that's only 50 50 compared to keeping on Levy and ENIC.
You might want to get those cataracts seen too . If our chairman can appoint Nuno he could appoint Carol Vorderman , Brenton is at least a possibility , a more distinct one with every rejection .
We remind me now of Newcastle for a lot of those years under Ashley, just without the relegations. Stale, an acceptance of mediocrity, terrible decisions, terrible in the transfer market. Stumbling from one manager to the next with no continuity or plan. Look at them now, in 18 months without spending a fortune....yet. New ideas, good manager, good people installed on the footballing side, all pulling in the same direction.I'd even take the sports washers now despite being strongly against that kind of thing for years.

So in the space of 1 season we have gone from finishing 4th in the League and playing Champions League football yet we're like Newcastle?We remind me now of Newcastle for a lot of those years under Ashley, just without the relegations.

I totally get the negativity but It depends what you mean by fail & has no chance?To be honest mate I wouldn't suggest anyone, there really is no point...whoever it is has no chance just like all the other enic managers.
They would all fail here as that is what always happens under this regime, nothing changes.
4th isnt the norm anymore though is it. We had a great 10 games or so back end of the season and fair play but its 6th, 7th, probably 8th apart from that. Besides its just more the feel of the club, one thats just aimlessley drifting rather than pure league position.So in the space of 1 season we have gone from finishing 4th in the League and playing Champions League football yet we're like Newcastle?
Honestly, I agree about the strategy being shite at the moment but you're just being completely over the top with your comparison.
From 2007 until the end of the Ashley era in 2021, Newcastle finished in the top 9 a total of one time (5th in 2012). We haven’t finished outside the top 9 since 2007.We remind me now of Newcastle for a lot of those years under Ashley, just without the relegations.

Why isn't it the norm anymore? Last season would we have said we would have finished 4th under Nuno being a directionless club and then appointing Conte who got us into the top four?4th isnt the norm anymore though is it.

Again its not about league position. Its an overall feeling of mediocrity, of terrible decisions, of a fanbase hating the ownership and just waiting for something to happen or change and everyone just going through the motions until that day. Its drift, staleness call it what you will.From 2007 until the end of the Ashley era in 2021, Newcastle finished in the top 9 a total of one time (5th in 2012).

I agree we are shit but it’s not an accurate comparison.

I'm sick of ENIC.
We are only 5 years removed from a Cl final and Newcastle couldn’t even consistently stay in the top flight.Again its not about league position.

He looks like respectable fellow. No one with a moustache could be bad.
Last 4 seasons. 6th 7th, 4th, 8th. This is with Kane and a mostly in form Son. Of course things can change but that is increasingly unlikely to happen with owners that have been making appalling decisions for 5 years. They suddenly arent going to start making brilliant ones. Its become like a gambler chasing his losses.Why isn't it the norm anymore? Last season would we have said we would have finished 4th under Nuno being a directionless club and then appointing Conte who got us into the top four?
Things can change in football. You make it sound as though having a run of 10 good games is easy, if it's that straight forward why couldn't we do it now?
The feel of the club is crap right now, I 100% agree with that but some of the absolute nonsense that gets posted on this thread is ridiculous.
