With him joining (obviously on Ribeiro's say-so) it must be unlikely that Farrell will be coming now, despite him saying that he was happy with the terms offered and was still waiting & willing to sign.

 

Surely Farrell was lined up by Smurthwaite as a British coach to aid Ribeiro, but is that still required if he has Smith as well as Brown, plus Glover still hanging around too.

 

Was Farrell at Newcastle Town today?

A bit naughty offering the bloke a contract then appointing someone else.

If that is the case and Peter Farrell does not join has he would have been a good appointment it looks like a bit of dirty dealing to me.

Not a good sign when Peter Farrell is trying to get a contract via the Sentinel, I think he might be out of the picture.
