A lot of Newcastle United fans have flocked to a post from their club, which has confirmed that Joe Joyce has left his position as the Toon’s Academy Manager.
The tweet includes a link to the club’s website, which has more details on Joyce’s departure, with the club confirming that he had been on Tyneside since 2006 and that Steve Harper will fill in until the end of the season.
This post has drawn the attention of these Newcastle fans who have had their say.
“Making changes at the academy, long overdue. We should have higher standards than languishing near the bottom of both U18 / U23 leagues.”
“Only cos his wife is suing the club”
“Left or pushed because of his wife suing the club?”
Has this annoyed you?
No, he was bad at his job
Yes, club have ignored his loyalty
Joyce was stood down by the club earlier this season after the club had a dispute with his wife over Joyce’s son.
This post continued to draw in Newcastle fans who had their say.
“We should all thank him for the wonderful development work he has been pretending to do for years”
“Thank god for that, Bruce next lads”
“Wrong manager departing tweet admin”
“Lucky escape”
“We rejoyce in this news”
Joyce served the Toon for a long time, but he leaves now after that dispute.
However, this is a chance for former Toon goalkeeper Harper to make an impression, and we hope that he does from now until the end of the season.
