I'd like Mancini with Zola assisting.

 

It would only be a matter of time before the board pissed Mancini enough to resign by which stage Zola would have at least cut his teeth further in coaching and know the Newcastle set up well enough to take over.

Mancini? No way...

yes well russia and ukraine are delightful places to stroll around after dark...

Wow, what an intelligent comment?!?! Still waiting for someone who'll explain that this has nothing to do with racism...

I think Poyet would be a smart choice.

 

Doesnt matter anyway

 

Anyone associated with Wise will be hated and not given a chance

 

...and?

It seems that a lot of people think Ashley can be forced to leave NUFC with ease, they are wrong and it will take a stroke of luck (eg fairytale takeover) or a long hard battle.

 

Throughout his career he rode roughshod through the business community and never cared for both the people in the industry, or whoever got in his way.

 

Without doubt he thinks that hell win this in the end.

as Souey and Fat Sam did...

"Woefully short on numbers" is a bit of an exaggeration to be fair.

tbf, there's not much written about this situation one way or another that isn't ridiculous hyperbole these days.

"SHOOT ASHLEY IN THE FACE WITH A ROTTWEILER, SACK WISE, COME BACK KK", blah blah blah.  It's all gotten rather boring.  

 

No, what's got boring is the fact that we have bent over and taken it up the arses from the club for the last 10 years or so.

If you're genuinely classing the Newcastle United years 1998-2008 as "taking it up the arse" then ... I mean, I can't even respond to that.  I really can't.  There's so much wrong that it would be pointless.

Tell us...

Better to take time to get the right man now rather than rushing in and having another circus in a year's time.

 

I hope they don't rush into a decision.

 

they will

 

you should change your username to mysticmag

The DOF system really isn't that shocking to people outside Britain. As far as i know most clubs in France, Germany, Turkey, and Italy use it.

didn't know that tbh

I love his character and i think he would fit in perfectly.

 

He knows how to work under pressure and he wears his heart on his chest.

 

I'd love if we hire him

 

He's a very passionate, guy, I think that's why Newcastle fans would probably take to him. Can't see us going for him though, probably a bit too volatile for Ashley to take on after what happened with Keegan.

Do people on here actually believe, that there would be one good manager/coach who'll accept Mikeys way? I for one, don't think so...

Personally, i'm going to boycott the game - the media will pick up on it, and ram it don that useless fat c*** ashley's throat.

 

Ashley is ENTIRELY at fault, because HE is the absolute retard who put Wise and Jimenez in place.

 

He's a fat, lying cretin, and has managed the seemingly impossible by making me want Shepherd back.

 

when do you turn 14?

Come on, you are the guy who laughs about the most childish jokes on here... :-) If I had to bet on the youngest forum member, my money would be on you!

For me boycott is not an option the players need our support and its not their fault this has happened. GET BEHIND THE PLAYERS.

Cannot help myself, but can't understand that blind loyalty at all. Supporting the players? Do you think they support Mikey. People argued the same way, after the appointment of Souness and Fat Sam... Did it help? No.

Zola to West Ham?Bilic not interested in leaving his post and now Laudrup in talks with Spartak Moscow.....not gonna be many left at this rate!

 

Laudrup admitted Spartak was an option for him.

 

"I cannot say that everything is settled," he told Sport Express.

 

"The final decision I will make in the next few days.

 

"But the chances are quite high, though I prefer to wait until all matters are settled.

but I am sure that Mikey will attract a top class manager, sorry COACH! :-(

Newcastle owner Mike Ashley wants to flog club to follow Hollywood dream

By Danielle Lawler And Jeremy Armstrong 8/09/2008

 

 

Mike Ashley (PA)

Newcastle soccer boss Mike Ashley wants to flog the crisis club - to become a Hollywood movie mogul.

 

Billionaire Mr Ashley, 45, has spent the past week in the US wining and dining film executives.

 

And he has told pals he is willing to "sell Newcastle tomorrow" if he finds a £250million buyer - and then amazingly wants his own movie studio.

 

A source close to the Toon tycoon said: "He's fallen in love with Hollywood and this is something he has been pursuing for more than a year.

 

"Mike has spent a week speaking to very important movie executives in New York and Miami and is ready to invest.

 

"He has so much money he is looking to buy his own Paramount Pictures.

 

He still loves Newcastle but if someone came in with a decent offer to buy him out tomorrow he would sell up."

 

It would prove merely the latest in a series of bizarre developments in the topsy-turvy world of Newcastle United.

 

But the under-fire sportswear mogul is apparently hellbent on fulfilling his unlikely ambition.

 

One of the bigwigs he has met is movie director Mike Jefferies - who wrote Goal 3, the Newcastle-set soccer drama in which Mr Ashley has a cameo role as himself.

 

The soccer tycoon has ploughed some of his own money into the movie.

 

And the Newcastle insider added: "Mike and Jefferies have a long standing relationship.

 

"He asked Jefferies to introduce him to his contacts in the industry so he would be able to put feelers out.

 

"Mike has thrown a few parties and had meetings to show he means business.

 

 

So, MA wanted to finance his movie with these sales... ;-) Seems like he's found another thing "to play with". Probably better. Sell on Mikey!!!

Sepp Blatter with Uli Hoeness as his assistant...

Jol anyone?

 

He'd be f***ing insane to give up Schalke to come here!!

 

Or Hamburg for that matter!!!

:-)

Now what??

 

For you it should be a bowl of:

Now, that's funny :-))))

anyone else think this has probably ruined xisco career before it's begun? He's made some comments on the saga on skysports.com

No, not at all. I can understand his frustration, but as a pro you just have to focus on your football rather than the manager... Otherwise you're fucked anyway.

 

As for the arabs taking over, do you really want to become the next Chelsea? I've despised them for what they've done to the game.

 

This

 

Perhaps, but the gulf between "the big four", particularly Manchester United and Chelsea, has got to the stage where you have to "do a Chelsea" to compete with them. It's a no brianer vast quantities of money increase the chances of success, success brings the world wide popularity and therefore the revenue.

 

Oh I know it would be just skippy if we could carry on the way we are, gathering a team of quality hard working players and eventually after a number of years hope we have the strength to muster up an assault on the larger teams of this league, but lets face it, we're going to get left behind. Just look what's happened at Man City, and it will happen to other teams too. it's alright taking the moral high ground but if your taking two steps forward while everyone else is taking five then your going to get left behind.

 

It will get to the stage where this league is divided into two types of football clubs, the financially elite and the honest also-rans, I know which group I want to be in.

I would welcome a investor which is interested in football rather than business... Just hate the Abramovich, Thaksin and Sheik style.

Would love a change to the rules. Limiting the number of transfers within the window or something.

I thought Slaven Bilic said something.  Thought he was getting lined up as a replacement...

 

I now assume it's Bernie...

same here :-)

Keegan recommended Mears

 

Marseille secured the signing of Tyrone Mears from Derby County on the transfer deadline day, and chairman Pape Diouf has revealed that Kevin Keegan recommended the player to LOM.

 

It has been confirmed that the 25-year-old will be second choice right back at the Stade Velodrome this season behind Laurent Bonnart.

 

Mears is the first Englishman to join LOM in 12 years and Diouf has explained the secret behind this shocking move.

 

We were in the quest for a cover for Laurent Bonnart who could settle to French football, Diouf said. As a consequence, we used our connexions who recommended Tyrone to us.

 

I even contacted several persons I know in England, including Kevin Keegan, who described him as a top quality player.

They were on the phone because of the Taiwo deal... ;-)

New Indian Owner appoints his board

 

Chairman                               Tim CURRY

Football Director                     Tim RICE

 

 

I'd stick to the comedy routine about the club being 5 minutes from receivership before Ashley saved us and how well it's being run now if I were you. That's far more funny, and far less racist.

 

No more racist than the we're going for an english sketch from goodness gracious me

 

f***ing hell political correctness gone mad!

bla bla bla

Glad somebody beat me to it... What an unnecessary and unfunny comment

He's not very good anyway.

 

I'd prefer Smith.

 

You're joking?!?! :-0

 

About which part?

 

Andy Carroll has proved nothing more to me than the fact that he's a human battering ram.

 

Even when he went out on loan to the Championship, his record was pretty pathetic.

 

Don't see why so many rate him tbh.

Not said that I rate him, but there isn't a NUFC player which i wouldn't prefer to Smith. Even Shola is slightly "better"...
