They are pretty happy with him in Sociedad, took the team up the table and developed the youth system. Just fell out with the new owners as they had different ideas on who should play and what goes on... Nothing toi do with drink!!

No ITK, just think they'll be the easiest and possibly the keenest...

I reckon we'll get Houllier or Hughes. Woudln't be dissapointed with either of em'...

An excellent article with no bullsh** in it!! Refreshing... I don't think he could become DOF as he is pretty ill, would be a good idea to recruit him as some sort of consultant. Go on yasell Bobby!!

In reference to having a "German" manager, the opposition fans would have a belting time with ditties such as: Hitzfeld has only got one ball the other is in the Albert hall...etc The tune to dad's army, changing hitler for hitzfeld... I wonder if anyone could make up our own affectionate xenophobic ditty???

If we want top class managers there are quite a few available/easy to tempt at this moment in time. In order of priority: Mourinho Hiddink Hitzfeld Houllier

who cares..foregone conclusion TBH. Like to see the team set up though...

Here's my shortlist: Special Hiddink Hitzfeld Lippi Van Gaal Hughes (just in case...)

If Shearer or mclaren comes in then we know we have another chairman with an affection for all things "Greggs", fatty Mark II ? Pleeease nooooooooooo!

I'm not being funny but it's deffo the "special one" now... Rednap (as in red heid) was just a smokescreen folks. I'm not too dissapointed!

My sig is the "new dawn" about to rise at Newcastle United...

Good article and perhaps that is just what we need. A jose, a vaan gal perhaps or even Klinsmann has that "feel good" aura about him... Sit back, relax and enjoy the spectacle.... can't get better than NUFC!

Look at the past managers and answer the question "do we need a world class manager?": smith ardilles keegan*** dalglish gullit robson*** souness roeder allardice Some sort of pattern there I think...

Guddink, Lippi, Mourinho....yes they kind off "blow off the socks", we do have a billionaire chairman and money does talk...here's hoping!!

great player. doubt he'd come here though

barton off for emre, wouldnt be a bad thing...

what are we playing 442 or 433?

agree, should play up front or not at all because he's teargas when in midfield!

will we be playing: smith butt barton milner viduka martins or butt barton milner smith viduka martins

Heh heh...Hope we get some nice "squad fillers" for christmas, suppose it's the equivalent of some walnuts, an orange and a couple of chocolate mints as our "stocking fillers". Low quality but always well received....

Sounds like, not is...

Here's my girly team: ----------Niemi(blackburn)--------- Gabriel(heinze)---Emanuel(boro)----Claudia (cacapa)---Valeri (man city) Vivien (foe)---Paolo (wanchope)-------Karel (poborsky)-----Lauren (arse) ---------Carrol--------Shola-----

I know it's a bit "off thread" but don't Shola and carrol sound like something out of the "fat slags"... How many other players have girls names?? P.S. I know carrol is his surname...just bored...

Have to agree 100% on this one. Kewell just doesn't have the pace or confidence any more to do what he used to at leeds etc, he's also cack at any sort of defending, Babel on the other hand looks to be a right handfull and doesn't seem averse to putting in a good shift. What is the fat spanish knome up to? (couldn't really care-but salt and wounds...he.he)

When we get Duff back it could make a hell of a difference to our left hand side and we could see jimmy on his "right" side of midfield. I also think duff would be better suited to 4-3-3 as he is quite disciplined and works enough for it to work... Imagine him and zoggy on one side and beye and milner on the other...heaven! With all players fit we could: ---------Given--------- Beye---Faye---Cacapa---Zoggy ----Barton---Butt----emre --Milner-----Owen------Duff Might be a bit attack minded so change emre for geremi or smith...
