wilsoncgp 9,283 Posted December 16, 2021 Share Posted December 16, 2021 Hartlepool could be the making of some of these lads under a manager that will know them very well by now. Lee has already invested plenty of his own time into their careers so there's probably not a better current fit out there if we want our young lads taken care of at a level where they're going to play plenty more first-team football. I'm not a huge fan of loans for the sake of it as I've mentioned in the past but this seems like a great chance. 4 Link to post Share on other sites
Riverside94 962 Posted December 16, 2021 Share Posted December 16, 2021 Always thought we should do this.. have a few local feeder clubs to loan out to to get academy players some game time. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Just because Newcastle have money doesn’t mean they are offering to pay him a fortune. If he likes to get involved with football the role at Newcastle sounds a bit dull. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Presumably a “Transfer advisor role” is one of many in a department and reports to whoever Newcastle have as Chief Scout? newcastle role doesn’t even sound like a second in command role from description.

I think the period from when we signed Schwarzer up until Rhys WIlliams left, there was always at least one in the squad. Link to post Share on other sites
