I agree that it seems odd from a Newcastle perspective but a decent acquisition for us. Fergie away before Tuesday possibly ? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loads of players cast aside almost immediately because they've not hit the ground running. Clubs so desperate to reach the EPL they end up with massive squads with a crazy wages to turnover ratio. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Provided we are getting fair value then he goes with my best wishes and wish him a successful career. There of course is one obvious caveat to that 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

House Bartender Posted August 27, 2021 Share Posted August 27, 2021 @Merkland Red correctly points out that the English Championship require players to "hit the ground running" or they're likely to be dumped fairly quickly. That's how we see managers, isn't it? He's made (some big) mistakes. Some good signs. Some good signings. It'll take time - just how much will he be given? Should be safe for the season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RussellAnderson Posted August 27, 2021 Share Posted August 27, 2021 Glass looks like an inexperienced manager, but one with a plan and a lot of good ideas. He’s also been hamstrung in the fact that our squad is paper thin. He certainly gets the season for me. Top six minimum, providing the football still looks good and we clock up a few very good, convincing wins that are a “glimpse at what could be if we were more consistent”. then next season we bring it all together and win the fucking thing. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Linked with Hearts but Derek Rae was implying a move for him had fallen through and he preferred staying in Germany or elsewhere in Europe rather than coming home. Wouldn't be the worst signing but liked the idea of signing the young lad Hamilton from Accies. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And Hamilton too. I'm just glad Glass is looking for a defender and not relying on Devlin getting fit anytime soon 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had a few injuries problems over the last few years. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The article that linked him with Hearts also suggested Moore from Bristol City was the preferred option, so I'm not sure that move was from us. I don't remember him being too bad in the handful of matches he played for Scotland, although he did play in that Kazakhstan game. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Glass had played the strongest team against Raith and we'd got through, everyone would have been complaining today that he should have rotated the team against Raith as they all looked tired losing last night... At least we'd still have been in the cup though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank Grimes Posted August 27, 2021 Share Posted August 27, 2021 Bates on a permanent deal Happy with that And it’s nice to pip Hearts to a signing. Makes a nice change from Hibs. Ken your place, Edinburgh cuntos 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Illgresi Posted August 27, 2021 Share Posted August 27, 2021 (edited) I was absolutely raging with that performance last night, so much so we left at half time. Two hour drive each way for f**k all. Still, it's probably best we put last night and the cup game behind us. The signings that are being talked about are encouraging, and a 3rd place finish will most likely get us into European group stage football next season. Time to focus on that.

DrewDon Posted August 27, 2021 Share Posted August 27, 2021 Speaking to a Geordie at work this morning and he thinks Longstaff (Matty) is probably a better option than some of their starting CMs and will stroll it in the Jock backwater, but difficult to know whether that’s just a classic case of fans rating a player higher when they’re not playing under an unpopular manager. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
