Experience

Newcastle United FC

First Team Manager

Newcastle United FC

2014 – 2015 (1 year)

I was appointed Caretaker Manager and then First Team Manager following the departure of Alan Pardew to Crystal Palace, inheriting an underperforming squad that had lost 4 of its last 7 games. The club was also experiencing a well-publicised and still ongoing period of turbulence involving the current ownership that saw fans frequently protesting at St James’ Park.

Within this difficult environment I was able to secure the club’s Premier League status with a 2-0 win over West Ham United on the last day of the season, finishing 15th in the league and ahead of local rivals Sunderland.

Newcastle United FC

Assistant Manager

Newcastle United FC

2011 – 2015 (4 years)

I returned to Newcastle in January 2011 under new First Team Manager Alan Pardew to help stabilise the club in the middle of an inconsistent season. Notable achievements include:

Finishing the 2011/12 season in 5th place ahead of Chelsea, Everton and Liverpool
Qualifying for the UEFA Europa League
Recording notable victories over Manchester United, Chelsea and Liverpool
Reaching the UEFA Europa League quarter-finals in 2012 to face eventual runners-up SL Benfica
Helping the club reach the League Cup quarter-finals in 2014/15 against Tottenham Hotspur

You do know Pouchy's 'pro-Pardew' stance is often just to stimulate 'debate' don't you mate?

The sad thing is that the last line 'PS Copied from the Mag' genuinely appears at the bottom of his CV

Same with my pro Haidara!

Melt him down into Pirellis I tell thee

 

[Warmir Pouchov]

Then again would he be a Pirelli? I think him and Dummett would probably be Rovello's or Radial

 

[Darren Peacock’s Ponytail]

Melt him down into Pirellis I tell thee

I knew you could see his quality

This will be the scene outside of St James if otherwise!

ha ha wouldnt you just love it .. maclaren will be told to keep his gob shut

 

[Howe's about that then?]

Just searched Rafa Benitez to see if there was any news and, though its not important, what caught my eye in his profile in the top right is the fact it suggests he's 75kg. Isn't that about 12 stone, he looks more portly than 12 stone.

Anyway, weight aside, I would love to see him come in. I was all behind Mclarens appointment but thats when I thought someone of Benitez's calire was out of our reach...... which he still probably is as it remains to be seen if he will take over

 

[Seabass]

I was getting a bit excited but it's taking too long. At least you would of expected and announcement about McClaren by now.

 

[LiamO]

NEVER EVER has a new managerial appointment been handled like this. Its ****ing hilarious. Perhaps other fans will now understand what we have to go through on a daily basis to be a fan of this mental football club

Nope...its due to our deluded, parochial, ingrained non-geordie hatred, small club mentality of us fans, hounding out of the fine upstanding managers* ..that have, no doubt...MADE ..Charnley into .... a useless, no class, incompetent.



*Normal service will be resumed shortly. This message brought to you by: Murdoch newspapers/Sky 'best league in the world ' sports

 

[cronemeister]

Twats there goes our 7 in a row and relegation for sure now

You'll still get relegated mate...don't worry

 

[Seabass]

I'm Mumbai watching some sports channel not sure where its getting the channel from but it's a Barclays premier league panel show and they are talking like it is done.

 

[ShinjiIkari]

Sports Ireland News saying that McClaren has been sacked!

[Lord Jonjomort]

All bookies have stopped taking bets. Rafa is 1/10 to take over.

 

[Heed]

If the Club and Rafa are now in advanced talks as being reported, it can only mean that Charnley has initiated the Waterboarding phase of the negotiations.

Surely Rafa cant hold out much longer before he signs up.

 

[Geordie Ginola]

The very second he becomes our manager im putting £1000 on us winning the league next season and £5000 on us winning the champions league the following one. If anyone's says I'm deluded.....
