Football waits for no one, not even if you come with a wad of Saudi millions. Newcastle made headlines, first because of the controversial purchase of the club by the Saudi public fund, then because of the investment of a new rich man in the Premier, later because the team has bottomed out in the Premier after the dismissal of Bruce and all the time it took to find a technician. And now, because less than a month before the opening of a market that is seen as salvation, the club does not have a football director. In fact, the Daily mail has revealed how unclear things are in the new property that he has appealed to a sports talent scouting company for advice on the appointment of that figure.
Newcastle’s millions still have no one to make sense of them in their offices and time flies. The Mail explains that Howe, the technician, has proposed some names to attack the emergency market. It was taken for granted that so much time to buy the club would bring with it a clear idea of the sports philosophy and a name on which to lay those foundations. Nothing further. Newcastle is still looking for a sports engineer, as before it was eternal in the search for a coach and the club is penultimate in the English championship. Time is already being lost.
Meanwhile, with the advice of that external company, Newcastle seeks to navigate in waters that are being revealed as unknown. It is surprising that such a project is taken with a grain of salt. Between Howe and Nickson, the current head of recruiting, who knows that he is looking for a replacement or a person who decides over him, they will manage to cover some holes, which in the case of Newcastle are gaps. The fact that the club does not yet have an executive director speaks of how the foundations of the project have been established. It will be necessary to see how it goes back.
