Newcastle

newcastle nearly had to get second bench they had so many staff, and all of them were miked up what do they have to talk about,

[sligoman]

Sam has left the club "by mutual consent" according to Tv3.

[superfrank]

Ridiculous decision to sack him after just six months. He should've been given more time to turn the team around. Newcastle deserve what ever they get after this.

[shakermaker1982]

I hope they get Shearer and I hope the smug **** gets em relegated. Has he got the balls to step up now or will he hide behind Lawro and Hansen in the tv studio?

Now Mark Hughes is the likely successor. They sack Sam Allardyce who did a good job with a relatively small club and hire someone who has done a good job with a relatively small club.

When do they ever learn?

[drinkfeckarse]

I rate Hughes above Allardyce to be honest. They have admitted that they want someone British or someone with a great knowledge of the British game. There aren't too many candidates that come into that category at the moment that would actually take the Newcastle job. Hughes could be the best that they can get at this moment in time.

They tried Harry Rednapp first apparently and what is he? Someone who has done a good job with a relatively small club.

Hughes had a bad run of results a month back. If he had been at Newcastle with such a run, he would have been sacked.

I don't see your point. As I mentioned, they want someone with extensive knowledge of the British game. There aren't too many candidates available when it boils down to it.

Inclined to agree - let's replace a manager who is clearly competent at running a smaller, less fashionable club with tactics that could occasionally be described as "robust" with a manager who is clearly competent at running a smaller, less fashionable club with tactics that could occasionally be described as "robust".

Truly, truly, truly, idiotic

[OwlsFan]

He got my point

[feo123]

why has martin jol not been mentioned?

[drinkfeckarse]

He got my point

My point was never about whether their decision to go like for like was idiotic or not. My point was that Hughes was probably the best option of the category they are looking for.

[tetsujin1979]
