Minamino might be looked at.

I think we will all have a mini "October 7th" when Bruce is finally pushed off the cliff, a half "cans" if you will.

Ashley going to Derby will mean 2 things. 1. They are never in risk of liquidation. 2. They will never be in risk of showing any ambition.

Votes Tory as well if we are making a list.

Still says he feels sorry for Bruce and the abuse he has received. Ignoring the cataclysmic effort Bruce has made at the club.

Kind of fell at a bad time. In the summer Jose and Rafa would have been options. Perhaps Greame Jones until an option comes around isn't a bad idea.

Shearer and Keegan are the guys you want making phone calls to potential signings. Keegan could sell sand to the.. well and Shearer is an absolute legend. They would make good advisors from a vision and emotional perspective but never in terms of who would make a good manager. Even Keegan is a footballing dinosaur in the modern age and it breaks my heart to say that.

Man, it's already happening. Staff are being hired rather than cut. This is great. That picture of them at the long table talking to the staff at St James, spoke a thousand words to me. Engaging, approachable, interested and ambitious. So very normal but also lightyears from where we were a week ago.

I will say again. I can see Gerrard. Just seem about right for where we are.

Lingard seems very obvious.

He'd be getting them for free, would rid them of their debts and then attempt to get them back into the PL, then sell them for profit. He'd have no intention of staying there long term.

I'm I the only one who doesn't want to touch players like Coutinho, Martial and Bale? I want players on their way up or with something to prove. Give me a Tarkowski or whatever any day, for now at least. I want the world's next best players not the previous ones.

I look at it in tiers: Tier 1- Worldies like Conte etc Tier 2- People who would quickly take us too a higher level in the medium term, Rodgers, Emery etc. Tier 3- Ones who we would have snapped your hand off two days ago but now seem underwhelming. Lampard, Potter, Howe.

What they gonna do? "Err Amanda we've had a change of heart, do you mind giving the club back to MA please, yours the PL"

Doesn't tell the full picture. Southgate will rightly be a legend for going further than anyone else but nobody has had the sheer depth of talent he has had and we have played some terrible football when we get to the tournaments. I'm full of respect for him but shouldn't be anywhere near Newcastle.

Always said our club is Black and White in nature as well as shirt colour.

How many other clubs in a similar situation would have sparked the scenes like last night? Very few.

Southgate can fuck right off. Terrible club manager and on paper he's done great with England side but he's got more talent than a Brazilian beach, he's still made some poor decisions.

By the way, Rafa is not out of the question. Parland worked with Rafa, I believe. It depends what his contract is at Everton.

Of course Conte FFS. The issue is whether we are "there" yet in the minds of the elite managers. It might take a Gerrard, Rodgers or someone else for 2/3 seasons first. Which is fine by me. Need to get the club moving again, get a quality base then step up when the time is right.

Depends on the contract. Whether we can buy it out or whatever. Be prepared in Invest in Saudi or something on our shirts.

Sam Fender rocking up with his sax player to play local hero is the sort of shit I could have put into a dream takeover scenario.

Imagine his missus watching him do that man.

Sooner he is sacked the better. Should be first thing tomorrow morning.
