Guest Gist Posted 6 February 2006 Posted 6 February 2006 Newell is definetly my first choice and if he was to come there would be a return to Luton quite soon
Ric Flair Posted 6 February 2006 Posted 6 February 2006 I wonder what page number this thread will get to before we hear confirmation as to whether Newell will be our new manager or not? I reckon 12.
Thracian Posted 6 February 2006 Posted 6 February 2006 I agree Newell over Holloway any day! But Newell says he's spoken to the board, but hasn't been offered the job..?? Why don't we offer Newell the Job..?? I believe we will in time once everyone in the frame has been interviewed and assuming his terms are meetable.
Teeno Posted 6 February 2006 Posted 6 February 2006 Do oyu think that Kelly would still have a job if Newell did get the job?
Monk Posted 6 February 2006 Posted 6 February 2006 Do oyu think that Kelly would still have a job if Newell did get the job? No, in a word. Why would Newell take number 2 seat to an unproven manager?
Thin_King Posted 6 February 2006 Posted 6 February 2006 any one got tim davis email add? Anmd i think they meant would Kelly go down to his previous job, not still be manager, and yes, i think Kelly would remain at the club, otherwose he wudda gone with levein
Jon the Hat Posted 6 February 2006 Posted 6 February 2006 No, in a word. Why would Newell take number 2 seat to an unproven manager? A job, not THE job... Depends on whether Newell would accept having an assistant already in place, and whether Kelly wants to be his number two I guess.
teblin Posted 6 February 2006 Posted 6 February 2006 No, in a word. Why would Newell take number 2 seat to an unproven manager? Because newell would be manager and kelly would go back to being a coach, keep a bit of consistancy!
Teeno Posted 6 February 2006 Posted 6 February 2006 No, in a word. Why would Newell take number 2 seat to an unproven manager? Read the post mate, I'm saying would Kelly have a position if Newell was manager, ie as a coach.
Teeno Posted 6 February 2006 Posted 6 February 2006 Because I was thinking Newells right hand man was Hartford before he left for forest, so who ever is number 2 at Luton hasn't been there that long. Or maybe he'll do what Levin did and bring his coaching team down but have someone like Kelly here who knows a bit about the team allready.
Monk Posted 6 February 2006 Posted 6 February 2006 Read the post mate, I'm saying would Kelly have a position if Newell was manager, ie as a coach. Fair do, then yes I do think RK would still have A job, but for the moment I'd still keep RK.
Chrysalis Posted 7 February 2006 Posted 7 February 2006 end of the day if newell's terms are to get rid of kelly and he wants his own staff that might have to be the case, if that was to happen I would like to think we give kelly a few months pay as thank you and a glowing reference.
sackmycook Posted 9 February 2006 Posted 9 February 2006 Ian Holloway's hopes of becoming Leicester's new manager are in tatters with the east Midlands club ready to appoint Luton's Mike Newell. (Mirror) Sorry Ian Mike Newell
Dr The Singh Posted 9 February 2006 Posted 9 February 2006 end of the day if newell's terms are to get rid of kelly and he wants his own staff that might have to be the case, if that was to happen I would like to think we give kelly a few months pay as thank you and a glowing reference. i think his contract runs until end of next season, so if we did sack him he would get paid until then!!
Ric Flair Posted 9 February 2006 Posted 9 February 2006 I'm getting really bored now, I wish they'd sort it out one way or another. If Newell is first choice, surely it can't be that hard to ****in offer him the job. If he doesn't want it, then tell him to bollocks and either look for someone else or give it R Kelly for the rest of the season. Atleast the fans can then focus on something else, instead of checking the internet every 5 mins like a twat hoping for news of a new manager. Morning!
Babylon Posted 9 February 2006 Posted 9 February 2006 Hatters battle to hang on to their manager after his Leicester job offer Luton Town are battling to spurn the advances of Leicester City as they fight to hold on to manager Mike Newell. And The Herald&Post understands that behind-the-scenes changes are being planned at Kenilworth Road in an effort to persuade Newell to stay. Exact details are vague, but the newspaper believes the developments relate to new investors described as 'proper football people' being ready to commit more cash to the club. It is not known if it will mean a change of ownership at Hatters or whether it will purely mean additional financial clout for the Town in their attempts to move to a new stadium and make progress off the field. The move is hoped to persuade Newell (pictured) to turn down a job offer from Leicester City which is believed to have been made to the 41-year-old on Tuesday night. Newell, a former Leicester player and who was linked with a managerial post at the club back in October 2004, met with Foxes officials for the second time this week. It is thought he was offered the role to take over the reins at the Walkers Stadium following the departure of Craig Levein last month. However, Newell has been told of the possible change in circumstances at Hatters and is believed to be ready to continue his work at Luton. A source close to the dealings told The Herald&Post that Newell was ready to turn down Leicester's offer by the end of the week and that the planned changes at Town were central to his decision. Newell has guided Luton to the fringes of the Premiership since taking over when Town were in crisis having been placed in administrative receivership while in League One two-and-a-half years ago. But he is known to be frustrated by the lack of progress off the field with the club no nearer to securing a new stadium. Luton's current limited ground capacity and the fact that the club could not afford to attract new faces before the transfer window is known to have made Newell question how far he can take Hatters. But the new developments at the club coupled with Leicester City's precarious position just three points above the Championship's relegation zone may just be enough to keep one of England's most highly-rated young managers at Luton. It is thought that a new contract offer for the father-of-five is also being drawn up to reflect the achievements he has made at the club. 09 February 2006

Yeah I know how you feel. ought to warn you some clubs have caretakers for months without announcing weather or not they are going to appoint a replacement or stick with the caretaker.
Katy Posted 9 February 2006 Posted 9 February 2006 Ive lost interest being the fickle gemini I am, the longer it goes on and the more gmes we win ( ) the more likely R Kelly will be left in charge until the end of the season which id be happy with. I want us to get the right fella. This season is so similar in lots of ways to the 90/91 season including the beating of Wolves 1-0 - spooky!

Ian Holloway is back in business, revolting.
Dr The Singh Posted 9 February 2006 Posted 9 February 2006 This is getting unbearable. Agreed, it's becomming annoying, it seems to be yo-yoing, let's hope Newell makes the right chioce and joins city!!
Frenzied Posted 9 February 2006 Posted 9 February 2006 Well if Luton are prepared to up the ante then so should we.
