[Archived] Nicko's Thread

[T4E]

I would take a stab at Steve Coppell.

I would take a stab at Steve Coppell.

Why? What has he ever done to you?

Sorry, couldn't resist.

[jim mk2]

Off to a game now, so this will be the final word...and you know I like a tease.

However I believe I know who Newcastle United want.

Mike Ashley is a maverick and an oddball and the best manager with similar characteristics is Gordon Strachan.

Might tickle his fancy ...

[EwoodGlory]

Paul Kemsley might point him towards Jol.

[John]

Speaking to someone last night who has met Ashley, said he is a bit of a chav.

[EwoodGlory]

Can you get yourself something like an iPhone nicko, so you can still post on the forum when at other games

[T4E]

Played for United. Thats enough.

[alexanders]

I think it might be Kevin Keegan returning to the mags.

[T4E]

Pinocchio just mentioned that on SSN - it would be a very Newcastle-esque move. It would keep them behind us for a few more years, thats for sure.

[Plastic Head]

That doesn't necessarily mean anything, the person in question might have backed him at longer odds a couple of days ago and might be closing the bet off for a guaranteed profit.

Gone from 3.25 to 4.5 though

Jol being backed

[RevidgeBlue]

Current Betfair market - no hot odds on favourite like 'Arry was but Sparky is favourite:

Huhes 4.2

Shearer 6

Jol 9

Keegan 14

Redknapp 21

Coppell 26

Mourinho 26

Just a thought, Benitez is reputedly living in fear of the axe at Anfield, would they look at him? ( (Currently a healthy 80 on Betfair)

Mirror story saying Hughes is staying by Alan Nixon (never heard of him)

Meanwhilst Plunkett tries to flog a few more LT by saying Hughes is favourite for Newcastle job. I don't think Hughes has ever actually been the favourite at the bookies and all the speculation since Redknapp said no has in fact by-passed Hughes in the Newcastle and national media.

[Sandiway Blue]

I can`t believe some of the negative sh*te being typed on here.

THERE IS NO WAY HUGHES WILL BE GOING TO NEWCASTLE!

If you use an ounce of reasoning you would realise that Hughes is nowhere near big enough a name to satisfy the geordie hordes.Although he has made an impressive start to his managerial career,he hasn`t won anything and given our recent 2 month slide down the premiership,he won`t be as attractive a propposition for any other club as he might have been if we were still sitting in the top 5 (notice how the barcodes have been comparing BFS to SVG at city).

It`s about time everybody gathered their brain cells together and stop panicking over something that will not happen!

[Sandiway Blue]

Off to a game now, so this will be the final word...and you know I like a tease.

However I believe I know who Newcastle United want.

And it is NOT Mark Hughes.

May be able to name him in the morning. Waiting on one call.

In the meantime, cheer up FFS.

portugeezer?

There's more chance of them winning a trophy!

Can't get that link to work.

Must say Paul Plunkett has changed his tune somewhat.

Yesterday he was saying Hughes would be mad to go to Newcastle.

Three seasons ago he was slagging Rovers fans off in the LT saying Newcastle fans wouldn't have minded getting up at 4a.m. in the morning and paying 50 quid for a ticket to an FA Cup semi at noon in Cardiff.

Betting on the next Newcastle manager has been suspended on Betfair!

[Sandiway Blue]

As they say money talks,and this Ashley guy has plenty plenty to spend

No it hasn`t.

[Wiggy]

The suspension has been lifted now.....strange....must have been a big bet.

[EwoodGlory]

They suspend it for a minute at a time now and again, must review it and check no dodgy dealing or something.

[philipl]

A bit like that LT article which has been off, on, off within the last minute!

Mort statement reported on SSN

IF Mort, Williama and Hughes are all telling the truth then perhaps Hughes is not even a candidate at this stage. Mort saying he has been speaking to candidates suggests the candidates are either talking with the permission of the clubs involved, not currently in a job or he's tapping up.
