SACKED As OF NOW

Well that isnt a shock but it is at the same time. Newcastle go through more managers than my wife does handbags. I bet he has a face on him now like a bulldog sh*ting peach seeds.

[1864roverite]

....and now for the Mark Hughes speculation.....

[roversmum]

I rather think Mark has more sense than to even consider it! The speculation will be fun though!

[BiggusLaddus]

Does that mean Newcastle will be spending a fortune on players for the new (or even caretaker) boss then this window?

Daft. Usually mid table team (with occasional flirts with Ch league/relegation battle) are sitting at mid table after half a season and they sack him.

sam allardyce has parted company with newcastle? how quick do they get shut! who would want that job? you get 5 games and ur sacked, ohh well as long as they dont dont want hughes were not that bothered!

I don't think anyone will ever good enough for Newcastle, their fans think that they are one of the biggest clubs and that they should be challenging for the league every year despite the fact they have been trophyless for 50 years. Having a large support doesn't entitle you to proclaim yourself to be something you're not!

[Ben-2000]

It's just like England... who in the right mind would want to manage them? The expectations are way above the capabilities - more so with Newcastle.

The fans will want nothing less than Shearer as manager, mark my words.

Now fully confirmed by the bakroom staff and BFS himself. How sad !!!!

[andrew92]

sorry was a bit late, some one got in first, use other topic

[Nelsta]

The trouble is Newcastle still for some reason see themselves as a big club that some how deserve succses.So if you dont win one or 2 games then they think "right time for a new manager".

It's funny all the Newcastle fans comming out saying they never liked Sam anyway.

[den]

So has Shearer been negotiating the Diarra transfer, or is he coming to us?

[Nelsta]

Names mentioned thus far are Mourihno and Jol

[Martin]

Hughes will surely be linked.

As much as I don't like Sam you have to feel sorry for him. He has been give no time. Mind you he has spent quite a bit.

Given the timing you would think they have somebody lined up??

[Nelsta]

There saying it was unplanned.Best guess is he's asked for money they said no he said ok it's time i left.

Be interesting to see if/when things go tits up if he's in charge, how the 'fans' react.

They will be understanding.

[LeChuck]

Unbelievable.

If Sam had been given more time then I have no doubt he would have turned Newcastle into a team on the verge of Champion's League football again. How can they seriously expect him to get instant success when he had to virtually build an entire team from scratch?

To put his 'failure' in to context, they're on 7 points behind us and still in the F.A. Cup. The margins between being considered a success and a failure are laughably thin now.

I think it is in direct preportion to your wallet size.

When he got bolton to the eufa cup it took him what 7 years.What makes Newcastle think they are big enough or good enough to get champions league straight away.

[1864roverite]

allegedly its because he wouldnt let a Championship club take Ameobi on loan as he wanted to keep him !!!!

.......err if you pay my contract up.

I'd wager that Joey Barton might just find himself on the business end of BFS's boot if their paths cross in the near future.
