This cannot go on........

I have feeling that both Leeds and Newcastle will both be searching for managers before long. Imo Curbishley would be wanted by both those clubs if the situation arises.

Maybe sooner than i thought

Sunderland 3 up at Leeds

Newell wanted the job - why would he bother coming for two interviews if he wasn't? Unfortunately the board took the easy/cheap route instead.

Newell was leaking info to the press....

No harm in trying to put a pitch for him together though....

or he found out there was feck all transfer budget and got told the wage budget for this season so turned it down.

the ambition of leeds and leic smay be shown by who sees their situation as a disaster first, for leeds I expect its a massive disaster their chairman wants promotion.

He was never offered the position....

Or he thought he'd be better off staying at a club challenging for promotion than one battling against relegation - maybe assuming he'd get a better offer in the summer.

what the feck is going on at our board, why interview someone twice and not bother offering the job.

One minute the idea of an interview is to see if you want to employ that person. A second interview does not mean you are being offered the job, its what it says a second interview.....

Because Newell went to the press and said he didn't want it before they had the chance to offer it to him?

 

[Chrysalis]

ok I am confused, so it was because we couldnt attract him then.

 

[newtonfox]

i dont think it was that more like he got a better deal at luton and used us to get it

It's all speculation, but there could be all sorts of reasons why we didn't appount Newell.
They may have decided Kelly was doing well enough.
They may have been waiting for a decision from Neil Lennon about the player coach role he was offered.
They could have had other managers they wanted to speak to, which we didn't hear about.
Newell may have been using us to get a new contract from Luton - or he may have been trying to attract interest from other clubs.

It's easy to blame the board for not getting Newell in, but when Kelly was told he had the job until the end of the season he had overwhelming support from fans. Hindsight is always easy.
