When the axe eventually falls...

that is part of the problem for me in Pardew going.
unless we take a punt on someone like Poyet which is a gamble on a relatively untried manager, who else is readily available.
RDM did reasonably well at WBA, which is probably a better guide than Chelsea, but as you say would he be prepared to come here.
I cant see a decent manager leaving another club for us.
A French Coach?

 

iv put who I would want which is hoddle,as long as he doesn't bring that daft lass with him, Eileen or what ever she was called

 

i WISH it would be Curbishley, but let's not hide from reality, it will be Kinnear

 

That would be an interesting appointment actually

 

I don't know, we could do with a faith healer for the supporters, their faith is being tested to the max

 

Neil Lennon is a horrible little man and I certainly wouldn't want him anywhere near Newcastle United!

More volatile than Di Canio!

 

Second that, no way I'd want him here.

 

'arry and Rosie would get things moving fast.

The money into 'arry's account.

 

Could be possible though.
Celtic go out the Champions League this week. Two - Nil, so could be eliminated.
Lennon fancies a new challenge with a club in England, just as Newcastle job becomes available.

First FA Charge against the mackems for rolling on the floor with Di Canio.

Unlikely, but you never know in football.

 

Really? I'd love to see him here. IMO he's a top manager, and he has something which we don't currently possess: a little bit of fire to get the lazy excuses for footballer here to do something.

Oh and he has more of a spine in one of his ginger hairs than Pardew does in his back...

 

I'd love to see Pardew go and never hear of him again.

Don't tell Norma Snockers that though.

 

Hard to tell if he is a top manager. Gave some very CL performances but they tended to be backs to the wall stuff. Obviously done well in Scotland but Celtic is such an easy job. Pretty much unproven for me. Horrible little whiney bastard too. Always moaning.

Pards is a legend

 

Celtic is a one-horse race in Scotland so I think it's pretty hard to judge his management skills.

A bit of fire is all well and good, but is he actually any good when he'd be a 'small fish'?

I think it's fair to say that he suffers with paramania!

 

I've put my money on Martinez........not the one you're thinking of but the fella out of " One flew over the cuckoo's nest " because he's the only bugger daft to enough to come here under the current regime.

 

why does it have to be a known failed elsewhere manager. Its going from the frying pan into the fire, what you need is new blood someone who is doing their badges, someone young who knows about the modern game and is in tune with the modern players and not some has been because they are famous and failed elsewhere.....for example we went for Martinez when he was at the end of his playing days,norwich went for lambert the same. they were hungry for success and not for what they could earn at the time...It worked for both of us and it could work for you...

 

I know what you mean, in Lee Clark we have a genuine Geordie manager who is learning his trade well. I personally think it's a bit too soon for him, but over the next couple of seasons I think he'll become a real contender. If we get relegated this year, he may well be the option for next season!

What other young managers would you suggest?

 

Gary Neville.
Seriously.
He seems very tactically astute.

 

I voted for Kinnear, only in the sense that this is what I believe will happen. I'd rather have Poyet, or Di Matteo, or even Hoddle, though he'd feel like he was on Mars if he came this far North. I'd have Gary Neville too - he comes across as though he knows a thing or two.

 

His knowledge of tactics is impressive, the only question mark over Gary Neville for me, is could he man-manage properly?

I know he coaches for England under Roy Hodgson, but is he actually management material?

It takes a great deal more than slow-motion replays to motivate a dressing-room!
