He came back from it at Lyon, though admittedly that's an easier league, with less media pressure, and he joined a club that was already established at the top.

Surely a man of his age and condition wouldn't be daft enough to take the Toon job on though... would he?

For me, it has to be Hughes or Jol. Not that I give a toss.

Out of the two I'd say Jol is the better manager, but it was going wrong for him so it hard so say.

David o'leary is the comedy option. haha, I'm laughing already.

He'll do.
 
Would like to see Houllier , but everyone up here seems to think it's gonna be Deschamps ,i would be happy with either .
all the best.
 
reality check:

Mourinho cannot sign for another English club until next season, under his Chelsea severance package.

Keegan hasn't watched a football game for two years.

Shearer doesn't have his coaching badges.

And the trouble for nufc is that none of the other premiership managers think Sam should have been sacked, so everyone is reluctant to step into his shoes.
 
I would like them to leave Pearson in charge until summer and them look for managers after that.

The best available then would probably be Hiddink - the players would hate him but he'd get the job done, I don't think he's very user friendly but he would turn the place around.
 
Radio just said Houllier is a no go.

Deschamps is the new favourite.

no fucker wants the job, and who can blame them

He's still happy with Russia I believe, perhaps as thats part financed by Abramovich so he's in the money big style. If they do well this year, I expect he will be the for the WC as well.

I cant see many people wanting the job. The problem here was the timing of the sacking. Should have made enquires near the end of the season. Current form is relegation material if they are not careful. BSG would have kept them up for certain, that not quite so certain now.

I would like to buy Owen back to the 'pool because we all know that what he wants really.
 
More candiate news.

Bob the builder has turned the job down as he can't fix it.

Tom Cruise has emerged as favourite as he is used to impossible missions.
 
Why do NEwcastle fans seem to think it is their right to be challenging for stuff....when was the last time they ever won anything....they are a middling little team who have never played particularly great football, never had any great success...the sooner they get this through their heads the sooner a manager can stay in place longer than the usual year, they maybe able to consolidate there midtable mediocrity and the less we have to go through the rigmarole of who the new manager is..... tiresome club
 
^ people have short memories. As for us challenging for something, mate we have good players just they can't gel as a team, and all were really looking for atm is security, got it? How many times have i said all we want atm is to be around teams like villa, everton etc. At the very least, we want to see a team working AS A TEAM!

Now, can all you morons who keep generalizing us shut up?Thanks.

lasted how long and won what....plus football is not like that anymore, well not if you want to win....you go out and if they score 4 we'll score 5

interesting points here

""It is typical that Newcastle should think that they need only crook a finger for their chosen man to come running. For as long as anybody not in their dotage can recall, the black and white fraternity have had ideas above their station. For a so-called “big club” they have won little – no league title for more than 80 years, no FA Cup since 1955 – and for them to sack a manager just five months after letting him spend £27m and with the team 11th in the table seems capricious in the extreme.

How big are Newcastle? It is an interesting point. Having worked there in the early 1970s, covering the club on a daily basis for a local newspaper, it is my contention that they have no right to rank themselves alongside Manchester United, Arsenal and Liverpool. Manchester City are arguably bigger. Not only are City higher in the table, but they have won the league, the FA Cup and a European trophy more recently. The attendances are similar - indeed, City’s “Blue Moonies” can claim to be more loyal than the “Toon Army”, whose ranks dwindled to 15,000 in 1992, before Kevin Keegan took charge. When City reached their own nadir and were relegated to the third tier in 1998, they still averaged 32,000 at Maine Road.""
 
It depends how you define big club, really. We have a bigger fanbase than alot of teams in the prem, and a bigger stadium, and then you have to look into our history to.

I agree that if you played as a team you'd be doing better but IMO NUFC lack the players to be challenging for a European place. Great keeper, decent striker in Martins (when he can be bothered), Owen...who knows. Emre's okay.

But your defence is a bloody shambles and the midfield lacks any sort of pace.
 
I think maybe they struggle to attract top international talent to newcastle - cant think of any other reason why they constantly underachieve so much in the transfer market, it cant be for lack of money anyway.

300 miles from Chynawhytye and Faces is a LONG way for a footballer to travel for a quiet night out

Very funny.:D :D :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

I guess maybe it hasnt been long enough for those the notoriously short memories of football fans to have erased his shortcomings.

6 months from now though I guarantee u his name will be bandied about in connection with any 'Big Job' going.
