MNF just said Fabricio Coloccini is odd ons to take over at Newcastle. Is that a ploy to get McClaren in?

It'll have to be someone with the puppet strings already attached. Also needs to be able to read from a script as good as Pardew could. Look Alan! We've got one over the line. Good riddance.

Steve McLaren? Is that the rumour for Newcastle? Yes, he'll be a hundred times better than Pardew and Newcastle will finish well above Palace! England is a sad stain on an otherwise very decent managerial career, but in the last thirty years only Robson and Hoddle have come close to getting it right with England. Derby are looking awesome. If Newcastle get between £2 and £5m to rid themselves of Pardew and pick up McLaren in his place they can be well chuffed with business.

Shot down instantly, No idea which media outlet took it upon themselves to write such rubbish. Steve Bruce is the bookies favourite followed by McClaren as the local favourite.

Media favourites are

De Boer - Possible if they remain in caretaker charge till the season finishes. Why he'd want to manage Newcastle is beyond me.

Benitez - Nope.

Pulis - The more likely in the list.

Fabricio 'I want to go home, no I want to stay but I'm not happy and my form has declined massively since, Collocini. Nope

Sherwood - More likely bar Pulis.

No one has really taken into consideration that it actually doesn't matter who's in charge because they're stuck with Ashley until this Rangers saga concludes. Ashley has the final say in everything, Graham Carr is the one really dealing with the incoming players and the manager is just there to put them on the team sheet and oversee training sessions.

Pardew was the most obvious puppet manager if I've ever seen one. The amount of times he spoke about that invisible line they were trying to get over

andy_m · 30-12-2014, 15:04

I can't see Pulis wanting the Newcastle job in its current form. Or the West Brom job either, for that matter. For Steve Parish read Mike Ashley read Jeremy Peace. Unless Pulis has got very very real over the last few months he's still some way from his next job.

denphone · 30-12-2014, 17:27

Pulis would be the one to bring Newcastle some silverware.

I agree, he wouldn't win anything at Newcastle. His Stoke team were loss making and had a diminishing points return during their time in the Premier League. He left Palace because he couldn't accept the constraints on our transfer policy, and he won't work well at a club which is realistically a business based on signing cheap young foreign talent and then selling them on at the first hint of a profit.

He hasn't done enough for a big club to give him the full running, and no small club could afford to.

Across about 210 Premier League games, Pardew has a better win % than Pulis, fwiw.

Adzii nufc is right - the manager isn't the problem at Newcastle.

thenry · 30-12-2014, 20:14

Sherwood wouldn't work at Newcastle neither. His big mouth being the problem.

Would Mike Ashley have taken David Moyes had he been out of work?

Better question would be could David Moyes accept being told what to do and say. Ashley isn't going to hire someone that's going to tell it straight when interviewed. Every manager under the Ashley regime was a personal friend or promoted from the inside of the club. Can't see it being much different this time round. Shouldn't surprise anyone if carver is the next permanent manager.
