    Sky Sports says that Mark Hughes is joint favourite to be their new manager. How is he still even being considered for jobs?!?!
  • OldCastleSwiftOldCastleSwift
    Hughes, Monk and Moyes all being linked.

    Newcastle fans must be crying into their ale right now.

    Oh please please can that be true

    Not least because it will mean a glut of goals for Arnie plus two wins when we play them next season

    It's a bit of a poison chalice at the moment. You take the job, Ashley sells, new owner gets his own manager in. Give it to Hughes. :lol:

    Does he still technically have no relegations against his name? I’ve lost track so can’t remember

    I reckon Ashley will want:
    a) A big name
    b) Someone who will see Newcastle as a big step up and accept his terms
    c) Someone with a historic link to the club

    Step forward... Sol Campbell

    If it's not one of the usual mob, that's where my money goes.

    One of the bookmakers has been reported to have already paid out on Newcastle being relegated next season.

    I can see pitch forks and flaming torches gathering in the Big Market as I type :biggrin:

    Geordies self combusting on Twitter. :lol:

    Seriously, who could blame them?

    I know fans can be precious, but this must really hurt.
  • SuzanneClaretSuzanneClaret
    I’d be livid.

    Oh dear.
  • SlackerSlacker
    I know,I just had the stereotypical Geordie in my head ,sitting in his full Newcastle kit,half a dozen Newcastle Browns by his side,flames shooting out of his laptop,Mike Ashley dartboard on the wall and smoke coming out of his ears.
    I know we shouldn’t laugh at others’ misfortune but in this case I excuse myself.

    For those of you who don’t mind a bit of flowery language, check out The True Geordie’s views on the current state of affairs at Newcastle on you tube

    Barack’s, not sure if I have to look, I can only imagine :lol:
  • SuzanneClaretSuzanneClaret
    The thought of Avram Grant being allowed back into football management is awful, even if it is with Newcastle.
  • baracks_a_hammerbaracks_a_hammer
    Apparently Rafa’s win percentage in the PL with Newcastle is worse than Sam’s, Pardew’s and the Rodent’s
  • alderzalderz
    Sam’s isn’t really comparable as he was only half a season, and I think Roeder was the same but I can’t remember.

    Though his % isn’t amazing, I think he did a good job in stabilising a club that is an absolute basket case
  • whupathmanwhupathman
    He did this with limited to no funds in a highly competitive environment
  • MrsGreyMrsGrey
    Lemme check, you're talking about rafa, right? :hmm: :wink:
  • IronHerbIronHerb
    Rafa has has a net spend of £0.5m since promotion 2 seasons ago, so not so bad then.

    The Rodent had 1.5 seasons with them, and did pretty well from memory (statistically)
  • alderzalderz
    baracks :ok:

    I'm shocked it was so long!

    72 games, 33 wins, 45.83% (all competitions)
  • baracks_a_hammerbaracks_a_hammer
    Only 15 losses?

    You have to say that’s very very good
  • grey_til_I_dyegrey_til_I_dye
    Since Curbishley's last managerial post (with us) in 2008, Mark Hughes has been appointed by 4 different clubs...
  • chicagohammerchicagohammer
    I wonder which team has produced the most managers, i.e. players who went on to become top flight managers,

    We must be up there somewhere, J Bond, J, Lyall, Harry, Bonzo, Slaven, PDC, and Curbs come to mind, not counting Frank Lampard Jr, and Moore who only held lower league positions nor Keven Keen, Scott Parker and Trevor who were caretakers.

    Anyone I missed off??

    Malcolm Allison, Noel Cantwell, John Bond, Frank O'Farrell. Malcolm Musgrave, Dave Sexton, Jimmy Andrews, sat around the tables at Cassettari's discussing tactics using ketchup bottles and salt & pepper shakers.

    The Academy.
