Steve Bruce announced that Newcastle’s trip to Bournemouth resulted in two airports having to remain open beyond their normal curfew. A larger aircraft than usual was rented and a hotel closed to the public so that the team could stay.
The Newcastle manager thanked the small army that was responsible for the fastest and most convenient journey to and from the premier Premier League game on Wednesday. A complex logistics chain with air traffic controllers, administrators, airport personnel, cabin personnel, pilots, cooks, cleaning staff and hotel employees made this possible.
“The work that many people have done behind the scenes [is incredible]”Said Bruce as he was preparing to leave Tyneside in the Age of Physical Distance.” We rented a bigger plane than usual to get us there, and a hotel was opened especially for us tonight. Newcastle stops the airport open so we can land tomorrow night, and Bournemouth does the same so we can take off.
“There was a lot of logistics that was done well for those who worked tirelessly to make things as normal as possible so that we could go on as usual.”
However, nothing is common at a time when the feeling of abnormality in Newcastle is exacerbated by the stalled attempt to take over the club in Saudi Arabia. Due to the resulting limbo, Bruce was unable to prepare for the next season.
“Management is about planning ahead,” he said. “So we have to make the decision now. We need the club to move forward. “
If the takeover continues, Bruce wants to know if the new owners intend to keep him. “Whatever is best for Newcastle, I agree. Will I be Newcastle manager next year? I sincerely hope so. “
He also hopes that his team will play in front of an audience again from the beginning of the next season. “I don’t think anyone takes football fans for granted now. And especially not in a club like ours. The general talk among all of us is that without them it’s not the same. It is not the same spectacle. The Premier League is the most successful league due to the great players but also the support from the stands. “
