Inevitable.

 

They will probably put Beardsley in temp charge

 

Be interesting to see how long it takes now for Rasta to step into the breach.

 

Good. They won`t be able understand him.

 

I wouldn't put it past those idiots

 

Nature of the beast. relegation Rivals will always be switching managers, we're prolific at it. It's gone well for us, we've been lucky. Doesn't always work, like always it depends on the players. Will Rafa inspire them? Unless there's some kind of hidden charisma we don't see hard to see it. NUFC is a club full of difficult personalities. Getting them all singing off the same hym sheet is going to be very difficult. Half the ****ers will be thinking about their next club. Some of them have been doing it for a while but instead of shifting the poison(Sissoko) they've held on to him. It's a toxic club, look at the Captain, he looks as disinterested as anyone, something that can't be said for O'Shea. Mags need a new captain with their new manager imo. Have they got anybody capable of doing it?

 

The latest gossip is that Benitez and the club haven`t been in personal contact yet. Everything up to now has been done through intermediaries.If that`s the case there`s still a bit to go yet.

 

hope who ever comes in has the same affect as Remi Garde.

 

They'll probably get Julio Geordio in as interpreter

 

The worry for me is they think they're better than Pearson. They could end up with him through lack of choice. He'd lower expectation which would give him an even better shot at making it work. Hope Benitez goes there. Dick saved us, just. We were lucky with a manager who'd never been in a PL relegation fight.

 

Even Taylor looks pissed off.

 

Doesn't he always? Get back to being an extra in Platoon!

 

**** them and Manuel the fat ****ing spanish waiter.

 

Makes it even more important that we beat them, if that was possible. Shame we are not playing them tommorrow.

 

J'm not too bothered about Benitez yet. Managers used to working at the top don't always enjoy relegation scraps - Dick Advocaat admitted they weren't "his cup of tea". The candidate I would worry about most is Pearson - just look at what's become of his 'relegation favourites', Leicester. O.k., things didn't work out there, but he laid most of the bricks for their success. I don't want him up the road.

 

that used to be my nickname down here in Farnborough.

 

Sssshhhhhhh!!!

Fat Mike might be reading.

Anyone at Nooclassel Airport - got a funny feeling Saggy Chops might be flying in.

Pops for me I would'nt be suprised if thay still have a catetaker on derby day then hopefully fan rebellion forces ma (lowercase deliberate) to get a manager - I may be freewheeling here mind - I need a coffee (caffine is my drug - )
Off to Yorks to visit daughter & enjoy our football stress free weekend & really hope Pardew's palace progress mind - fixture congestion before their relegation -

 

Newcastle United - Statement From Managing Director Lee Charnley

After the defeat to Bournemouth on Saturday the Club has spent some time considering its position and has today concluded that Steve McClaren's employment with the Club will end with immediate effect.

We acknowledge that reaching this decision has taken a number of days and that this has caused uncertainty for everyone involved, in particular for Steve and the players, for which we apologise. However we felt that this time was necessary to ensure the right decisions were reached with the best interests of the Club at heart.

Lee Charnley said: "I would like to thank Steve personally for his services to Newcastle United. He is a man of integrity and class and he has conducted himself with great dignity during this difficult time.

"Steve worked tirelessly to try and bring success to Newcastle United. He has the utmost respect of all the players, staff and management and he leaves with our very best wishes and sincere thanks.

"We feel that a change is now needed in order to give the Club the best possible chance of securing its Premier League future."A further announcement on a successor to Steve will be made in due course."
