There's tons of managers around the Champ/League 1 who are willing to take any job
 
But which other managers would work for Ashley? Bruce will take anything, so he'll be the man.

Yeah Pardew, Pulis and Allardyce are busy doing **** adverts and are history anyway, and Moyes has got his career back on track. Bruce seems the only one who who jump at an Ashley request.....Potter maybe as well considering how much his managerial career has recently gone down the ****ter.

But Ashley unearthed Joe Kinnear, so maybe he made persuade an 81 year old Dave Bassett back to work.

Not sure about Allardyce, he sacked him when he appointed Keegan. I think Allardyce only did about 9 months under Ashley.

He never wanted Allardyce, he tried to sack him before he'd even started, Allardyce was Freddie Sheppard's appointment who he was lumbered with. That was of course in the days of Ashley looking like a tool in a Newcastle shirt in the fans, so at that time, as well as his own dislike of Allardyce, he listened to the fans.
 
A 35 year old Karl Darlow who's barely played for the last 3 years isn't that good, whoda thought.

Since when has Darlow played for Wales? <laugh>

They'll take anyone them.
As soon as the Welsh FA found out that Darlow's great grandma's next door neighbour's uncle once went on a school trip to Snowdonia, thus making him eligible under the Welsh national team criteria.

Not often I agree with a referee but Anthony Taylor is spot on with the above comment.
