Some good assistance in the background also. Hopefully he will assemble a competitive team, but everyone (Newcastle fans) need to give him their full support as only a couple of weeks ago it was desperately looking bleak. Well done Rob and all the best for this season and the future. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Got good people around him in George, Dave Tattum and Andrew Dalby. Definitely the best way to start. When Neil Machin is raving about Granty's ideas you've got to take notice. Sounds like exciting times ahead. Fingers crossed. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mikebv 10,163 Posted November 27, 2019 Some truly great comments from such an experienced and well respected person as Neil Machin.. Hope what must be exciting plans see fruition.. The more wider thinkers the sport has around what constitutes 'entertainment' and a 'great night out' can only be good for it.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
