I can't be doing with all of this friend-of-mine's mate-who-does-his-dog's-hair routine.

It's now over to Mike Ashley to make the next move. Until he sorts out the Shearer situation the job is impossible for any other manager.

It makes me howl that the Geordies want Shearer...it's like Spurs fans screaming for Hoddle.

And look what happened there.

IF - and it's a big IF - your manager does go then that's just the way it goes.

I can think of several who could keep the club in the top half on a limited budget...and maybe even win something. ;)

Yeah I agree Nicko.

We need Shearer! :lol:

Any news on who the favourite is for the Scotland job out of the chosen candidates?

There are five being interviewed.

If it is decided on personality and record there can only be one winner.

But I'm a wee bit biased.

Newcastle is just one big joke, sack the manager during the transfer window then pop off to Hong Kong for the best part of the week.

It needs to be sorted ASAP, we have just over 2 weeks to get players in to help the push for a European place, surely they will be put off till its decided one way or the other so they know what manager they are playing for.

Extract from tomorrow's edition of The Times. Seems like speculative reporting.

Blackburn and Williams are eager to retain the services of a man who has lifted them into the upper half of the Barclays Premier League, they are unlikely to stand in his way if and when Newcastle make their move. For his part, Hughes is said to be keen to embrace a new challenge and is privately intrigued by the prospect of working on Tyneside. He is not, however, set on leaving.

I have read the article, it is rambling and a little confused.

So I think it sums up the state of play at Newcastle United perfectly.

It would be so funny if we weren't the butt of the joke.

Incidentally, as of tomorrow there are only ten working days to the end of the transfer window. If an approach comes, Rovers can fully legally and legitimately run that clock down so Newcastle would not get their man within the window. In what other industries would a CEO move from one business to a competitor in the blink of an eye? Chelsea have set the pattern with Mourinho's gardening leave in terms of bringing normal commercial practise into football management contracts.

If Rovers have next to no transfer kitty it doesn't matter to us but I guess it puts the club in a very strong position to get compensation for far more than just the balances on service contracts.

Anyway, let's hope it doesn't come to that.
