It seems that Unai Emery is being lined up for the Newcastle job. A massive success in Spain, but a flop last time here at Arsenal
I reckon he'd be a decent enough bet if they were about 12th, 13th and could look to build, but I'm not convinced he's the man for a relegation battle.

I'm probably alone here but i don't think he did that badly. They finished 5th and got to the Europa league final in his first season. I think he'd be a good appointment for Newcastle, and certainly better than they could expect to get in their position even with all the money.
In other words, I was offered more money elsewhere but instead of just being open and honest about that I've decided to say I'm not going to throw mud or point score whilst simultaneously throwing mud and point scoring by implying it was somehow the fault of my employers who happen to be aggrieved at me leaving mid way through the season.
Potentially next summer they could have the chance to sign some top players, but at the moment they're in a genuine relegation scrap and few top players would want to go there. Or indeed top managers!
I wonder if Howe expects to be binned off next summer once he's kept them up

._________ Clearly I'm not close to this but I do know that Pools have had a really good start to life back in the EFL and his departure risks destabilising this. No issue with him upping sticks for monetary or geographical reasons but don't add to the instability by putting doubts in the fans minds about the running of the club behind the scenes.
Unfortunately we all make decisions in life that will unavoidably disappoint some, but on those occasions it's about doing so with a bit of class and sensitivity.
If your final two options for a managers job are Eddie Howe and Unai Emery it looks like you don't have a clue what direction you want to go in. Two completely different managers offering completely different ideas. Surely if you have a long term plan you should have similar managers on your shortlist. All this has done is highlight Newcastles lack of footballing knowledge at senior management level.

Isn’t that what most clubs do though? They employ a name rather than a style and names are what the fans want.
I don’t recall ever reading on here when we were looking that a certain manager would not fit because their style of football does not suit the club.
Football management is a circus, get employed, do a bad job, get sacked, get employed again.

I feel like they just want a stop gap for 18 months. Someone to keep them up, push on a bit next season then he'll be gone as they pay silly money to get a big name manager.
How long before Villa's owners get rid of Dean Smith?
Lost 5 in a row.
Their next two are Brighton and Palace then they face Liverpool, Leicester and Man City. If they don’t pick up points in the next two it could easily be 10 in a row.
And whilst on paper they are easier games Brighton and Palace are both playing well.

On the other hand, beggars can't be choosers if he really wants another job

That's a surprise says no one.
