Given a choice, I wouldn't want Newell managing Leicester City.

But, if he was offered the job tomorrow I'd be bloody ecstactic. Anything is better than our current resident incompetent

You don't like the idea of a Director of Football as a overlord, adding tactical nous and experience to the set up.

I don't personally - haven't seen evidence it works at this level, certainly.

 

[Bilborough Fox]

We are banding British names around, but don't forget MM has dabbled with foriegn managers before. Do any of think there is one somewhere who could cope with the kind of football being played in the Championship. Not exactly the beatiful art is it, more like blood and thunder stuff.

I'm open minded on it, but I'm at the stage where I see no future for Kelly. Certainly not against the idea though, as long as the DOF had complete control over Kelly and was mentoring him

Can't think of a Club where a Director of Football has been sucessful,just seems like needless waste of a wage IMO

I agree with your sentiment but I don't think they will be many more managers available who have a better record than the likes of Newell in the Summer. I like Newell's outspokeness, regardless of the opinion, it's better than the current rent-a-quote.

Absolutley nothing linking our new regime with Newell IMO.

TNBD will surely bring out his list of replacements, whether MM rejects or not.

Feck it. Newell here now please.

Surely very much the tea boy nowadays.

Milan seems to have kept him on, more closer than what I thought anyways.

Let's say MM wakes up in the morning and decides OK today is the day, it's time to put "nice bloke" Rob out of his misery and ask "needs a haircut and and a decent suit" Mike if he fancy a crack, isn't "needs a haircut and and a decent suit" Mike just going to say "er, thanks funnily enough I went for a couple of interviews at Leicester last year and some dim witted podgy bloke led me to believe I could have the job but backed out when he heard he'd need to find some money to bring in some coaching staff and new players, so once bitten and all that, thanks but no thanks Milan, actually I'm off to Leeds next season"

I think Newell might be a bit aware that things have changed round here andput last season behind him

 

[KLFox]

I would have thought getting a non-league team into the league and then promoted into (what is now) league 1, was quite an achievement, and a pretty sound indication of the guy's potential.

My point is that Newell has done the same

 

[Stevie Lynex on the wing]

Stick with Kelly for now, then appoint Mad Dog, looks like he will get MK Dons promoted.

 

[Redditch Fox]

I'm not sure about Newell. Has anybody given any credence to the thought that MM might bring a Director of football in to oversee RK. Give the neccesary experience backing he needs.

Yes - I have given it a thought - and that thought is that it would be a disaster in terms of football management because Kelly is utterly inappropriate to the job and a total waste of money to appoint a Director of Football.

I know Milan is getting on a bit but he still seems to have his marbles so he surely aint gonna keep on Kelly beyond this summer.

I happened to be driving through the roadworks on the M1 when this story broke on 3 County's Radio - what followed was an interesting set of phone calls of pretty evenly split Luton fans - some celebrating others stating outrage.

His critics felt that although he flogged about £9m's worth of players, the money he had been allowed to use has been wasted on poor signings, while also Luton's reputation had been damaged by his frequent outbursts on a variety of topics.

His supporters seem to agree with the vast majority of Newell's outbursts (bar the female officials one) & blamed the board for poor financial management if there was really a need to raise the amount of cash they have by selling players.

Anybody is going to be better than RK.....

I wonder if this is a buddy of Milans.
I would surely be looking at Mike Newell for manager.
The board at Luton are not looking out for the team and fans thats for sure.

 

[DesertFox]

I'd still welcome Newell here as manager. But here's a point nobody has mentioned yet - MM loves 'Arry. 'Arry loves bungs (allegedly). Newell, it's fair to say, doesn't like bungs. He might not be the man for Milan.

And we can't have MN being manager for MM whilst we're still harping on about MON - it will be too confusing!
