Abel Braga, manager of World Club Cup and Libertadores holders Internacional has just thrown his hat into the Geordie circus ring.

Well we are through the dangerous first working day after Ashley's return and all those stories about him either personally visiting 'Arry or immediately moving for Sparky have not been borne out- at least in public!

I think we can take the Mort job spec at face value and accept that a professional considered evaluation and sifting of all the candidates is now happening until a way is found of smuggling Shearer into position in one title or another by any old means that suits the political agendas of the leading players.

At most normal clubs, it hardly matters that a selected Manager might not have been first automatic choice but Newcastle with its heavenly choir of Jack Charlton, Bobby Robson, Kevin Keegan and Alan Shearer all ready with a quote when a microphone goes under their noses not forgetting beyond the grave cameos from Souness, Dalglish, Hall, Fat Freddie and no doubt BFS in time; being first choice is much much more important as the barbs are more pointed, more numerous and more wounding.

As we get closer to the end of the transfer window, the premium for getting a non-employed Manager rather than facing the minimum of two days' delay negotiating releases for an employed manager is literally growing by the minute.

From Sparky's standpoint he has now been over-looked three times:

- when Redknapp was the initial chosen one

- when as obvious first reserve, he wasn't approached when Redknapp said no and

- when Mike Ashley came back and took control today.

This repeated subbing must be getting to be intolerable for a candidate of Mark Hughes' stature. I doubt the job is big enough, safe enough or rewarding enough for Sparky to put up with this process.

well for me the list is based on that criteria is:

Jose

Bilic - is he a TOP manager yet?

Scolari - struggles with the english and has a nation to approach

Jol - A top manager?

Lippi - is he unnattached?

Trappatoni - english?

Deschamps - Top manager?

It's clear the only real top manager here is John Bond!

He'll still go if asked. And you know it. Hence the over the top protestations to the contrary.

If your being serious , more fool you.

How many managers have been touted for the job? And you stick £20 on, :wacko: :wacko:

If I couldn't afford to lose it I wouldn't have staked it. Sometimes you have to take the risk to get the best odds.

Can't see it on ladbrokes at all?

Pick "Football Specials" from the drop down list and its the first option.
