Wolves’ Conor Coady would be a sensational first signing for Newcastle’s next manager

Posted by

Newcastle United’s current predicament means that whichever manager comes in, he’ll need to hit the ground running and then buy well in the January transfer window.

Paulo Fonseca would appear to be first choice for Amanda Staveley and her fellow directors, with The Telegraph noting that he will be offered £6m a year to take over the St. James’ Park hot-seat from Steve Bruce.

Second from bottom and without a win in the 2021/22 Premier League season, it’s clear that the Magpies are woefully short of real leaders in their team.

Not just players that can take a game by the scruff of the neck and inspire all of those around them, but those exponents who can be relied upon to lead by example week in and week out.

To put in a shift at the coal face even when the odds are seemingly stacked against them.

Conor Coady (grounded) is on Newcastle’s radar

That’s certainly a description that can be applied to Wolverhampton Wanderers’ captain, Conor Coady, and The Sun note that Newcastle now have the 28-year-old in their sights.

An apparent protege of Frank McParland, a trusted friend of Staveley’s, it would therefore be a surprise if Coady wasn’t the first signing of the new era come January 1.

  1. Soh what is the present position of Ms. Stavely, is she the chooser of new players or the clothing police head ?
    I believe she had better keep a lower profile before she is
    fired , after all this is not the Middle East where until lately she would not have been allowed to even drive a car.
    Don’t forget she has little skin in this game of millions and control that egotistical tude she has been on of late.

  2. Granted, he would be a good leader with a good passing option out of defence. But he would not address the lack of pace we have in the middle of our defence.
