Yet Chris Mort said on the official website today that he has plans to bring in more "specialised people" to end the ridiculous injury curse that has plagued Newcastle United for years.
Whether they will be part of the action on match days, it is yet to be seen, but they will have to build a bench along the Milburn Stand from the Gallowgate to the Leazes if they do!
There seem to be more trainers, coaches, assistant managers and "Buffers" than fit players, these days.
Mort also says he has plans to update the traing ground, to feature "top of the range equipment" seen at the biggest clubs in the world.
So the skippy ropes are out the door then!
