With the sacking of Stephen Roger Bruce right around the corner, either this season or 5 seasons to come, I say we begin planning for his replacement. It appears our recent appointments have been exclusively fat sweaty slobs stuck in the 90s, so I suggest a radical movement away from such appointments - let's have a look at some young candidates. With a chance to topple the powerhouse of Scotland, a good Europa League record and a win percentage of 60%. Steven Gerrard, Age 40: please log in to view this image Below we have the man who founded the city of Bournemouth, is that true? No. But did you know about Bournemouth before Eddie Howe? No. Where even IS Bournemouth? No idea. In a few seasons he turned a League One outfit into Premier League regulars, they even played nice football. Age, 42. Currently without a job. please log in to view this image Former Newcastle player, national symbol and universally loved, it's former CDM, Box to Box... Right winger? Joey Barton. Who once said Zlatan has a "Big ****ing nose," grabbed his balls and waggled them at Torres and is the absolute king at winding up Mackems. Joey has transformed "little" Fleetwood Town into regular giant slayers and even promotion favourites.

I'd rather have Gerrard than Bruce TBH, but I think it'll be Tim sherwood.. I'm going for Tim sherwood.
I'd rather have all three of them than Bruce. Gerrard is the one with the most potential, ignore Ben's opinion on this topic as the man is actually a Celtic fan. Rangers have been sexy under Gerrard.
I'd take all of them ahead of Bruce, even Allardyce Howe would be a good appointment Barton will never get a chance under Ashley because of who he is, doesn't matter what he achieves Wouldn't fancy Gerrard really, hasn't really done anything Allardyce is a fat ****
Anyone just anyone young will so.. 4 4 2 with 3 cms and lacelles ahead of schar and Fraser and almiron benched to them bring on in positions they're not best suited to and I've had enough of Bruce tbh
I read that Barton's issues at Newcastle were never with Ashley, he claimed it was all against Llambias. Apparently Llambias, who runs casinos would offer deals like "listen, if we finish 5th you get a 4 year contract extension, reckon you can do it?" So they had a massive argument in the office and the next day he was training with the kids. Ashley was sound with him
Barton won't be a yes man as a manager which is what Ashley wants. I think after Rafa we will never have another manager who wants to better the club (under Ashley obviously). Take your pick from the merry go round of sackless donkeys. Unless the takeover happens then just get Simeone in
Yes he's got managerial experience he was a very underrated player, he's a great character that worked hard all his career and has an infectious smile... Then there's the fact he's black and white through and through.. I loved clarky.. He'd do better than Bruce ever will
ye i decided to put Bowyer on the list instead of Lee Clark sos lads but he is doing a way better job
