    Didn't Poch decided that Yedlin wasn't good enough for the Spuds?

    Yes because he isn’t but he still got him because he fits what he looks for in an outside back. Newcastle isn’t Spurs. FFP won’t allow for him to overhaul the team in a season or two. Outside back won’t be a priority upgrade day 1. Yedlin will fit his system and be useful in the interim.

    They'd know a bit about each other from his stint at Tottenham in 2015 (January-September 2015), as well as from his loan spell at Sunderland (Spurs would've been keeping tabs on his performance, just in case). Whether that's a good thing or not remains to be seen. There wasn't any sign that Spurs ever saw enough in Andre to really consider keeping him on.

    I'd be hesitant to hire Favre until he shows he can coach the defense successfully.

    They would and he’d know how they want to play which would be in his favor. Eventually they’d replace him but as I said, this isn’t An over night fix and Newcastle isn’t Spurs. They can’t go out and buy a new 11 over night. They have to prioritize. Poch has shown to plug and play outside backs at times. He switches between a 3 back to 4 backline. If Poch is hired Yedlin will be in a good spot to play at first.

    Ohh hell no.....if they truly are going after Favre, their bar is pretty low.

    I think they should go for Simeone, now that they got a much bigger purse.

    Simeone's been sounded out by Prem teams in the past and rebuffed them all. There was a range of reasons given at different times, but one constant was English: Simeone doesn't speak it at all and that was a crucial issue for him. What happens when the master communicator can't communicate?

    Then there's the fact that he's halfway through a rebuild job at Atletico that's also been about changing the way the team plays to being proactive, even creative. That's a big, big career move for any coach. He'll want to see that through. Doubly so for a guy who's so identified with a club and its support.


    As for Favre, that's a reciipe for trouble. He's a coach who just doesn't focus on defence. Even when he's got quality defenders, he emphasizes them getting forward to help the attack. Newcastle's defence is the part most notably short on quality in a squad that lacks quality almost everywhere. A coach who can do safety-first football while he rebuilds under Financial Fair Play rules has got to be top of their list.

    Newcastle has history and is a big club for the smaller clubs. Their stadium is a good size and wouldn’t need to be rebuilt to increase size anytime soon. The potential is there it was just that their old owner was cheap.

    Wasn't Poch the guy that sold Yedlin?

    I think they like to look for a value bargain. If they really wanted value, I'd go looking at something like a Sunderland or Leeds. These are EPL clubs but have 2nd or 3rd division players. Upgrade the players with some deep pockets and fuzzy math to get around FFP regulations and you've got something.

    Yes. And it means zip.

    Poch was manager of Spurs then. If appointed, he'll be manager of Newcastle now with the issue of rebuilding the Newcastle squad in front of him.

    At Spurs he needed a squad that could get into the CL and challenge for the Prem, and Yedlin isn't at that level, which doesn't mean that he won't be good enough for a coach looking to consolidate in mid-table.

    I don't think the Arabs would spend that kind of money just to settle for mid-table. At the very least, they would be pushing for CL.

    As others stated earlier, Yedlin prob have 1-2 seasons during the rebuilt process, since you can't simply replace all 11 starters in one season.

    Yea they want that but in today’s structure they also know it can’t be done overnight. They’ll take the same approach as Everton. Build up the overall base. Then start adding top players. Their target for the first couple of years will be Europa league. Become steady there then build into UCL. It’s doable just not over night.

    Wait Everton has had ambitionds beyond mid-table status?

    They have for a while but they just recently got serious about it.

    Look at their last two windows. They then went and signed Carlo Ancelotti. He was given assurance he’d have more money to spend and increase the top end talent. He talks about the plan a little when he was hired.

    Yeah they made sure when rewriting the rules that Man City couldn't happen as quickly as it did if someone wanted to try.

    Make no mistake though, Newcastle is about to be a European challenger. Give it a couple of years.

    Maybe we will see. If they land Poch and he’s given time absolutely.
