He is German.
Coach, he was at Hoffenheim for a long period of time, but he's been in Saudi Arabia, won the Asian Champions League twice, I believe, and he's renowned for...
high pressing intense sort of style so there are parallels to a certain degree with the players who Newcastle and style that Newcastle have had under Howe and the way that they would want to play it so it seems that from the top that they're quite excited about this potential direction of travel they've known for
a couple of weeks, the best part of a few weeks, that Howe was going to go, and they had their list of potential options, and Youngstall's the one who they've decided to go for.
And maybe with the current players who are there, the current players he has, a fresh insight may bring more out of them.
I suppose the counter-argument to that is, given the quality of play that Newcastle have lost, given the inexperience of the players that they've signed more for promise than necessarily the here and now, how quickly can a new head coach...
extract a lot from them and if this and do they need a strong start really to get the positivity of everyone because this it is huge that how it's gone I think that even if there was a fair amount of negativity certainly towards the back end of last season from sections of the sport base there is also still a huge amount of affection and love towards him for what he achieved at the club and for how he's handled himself generally

They took such a massive hit from not being in Europe because some of the
A conservative estimate, 40 to 60 million from not being in any form of European football.
And that's before you take into account merit-based payments and finishing low in the Premier League and the likes.
Revenue-wise, they desperately need to.
But if you look at where the squad is, as I mentioned to you, right now, when I speak to you right now...
it's weaker than the back end of last season.
So that is a concern.
They insist more business will be done.
They are still looking for a goalkeeper.
They need multiple full-backs, really.
Maybe other positions.
