Possibly, though i have the feeling he made that up to make the Redknapp denial look like he wasn't the only manager we were looking at.

Sorry?

Not Ashley's choice of manager, that's it.

What a run, what a goal, Jason Roberts, 1-2.

He's done a fantastic job at Villarreal, took them to the Champions League Semi-Final, lost Forlan to Athletico Madrid and they're still up in a Champions League spot so far this season.

Bolton 1-0 Blackburn, Nolan, what a goal.

Does that explain why it worked for Gullit at chelsea? Does that explain why Gullit failed at Feyenoord? I find it utterly amazing that you could consider Louis Van Gaal (A Champions League winner) on a par with Ruud Gullit. I'm not comparing the two as managers man, I'm saying the outcome would be similar. IMO of course. Isn't it always in your opinion if you're saying it?

McClaren.

Anyone else think Pedro Mendez is underrated? Hear a lot about Utaka,Muntari,Krancjar etc Looks like a very tidy player indeed, doesn't often lose the ball.

http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/s/swansea_city/7185930.stm Sir John Hall has suggested that managerless Newcastle could consider Swansea City boss Roberto Martinez as a candidate to go to St James' Park. The Magpies life president and former chairman told BBC 5 Live's Sportsweek that Martinez might be an outside bet. "Do you go for a big name, like the (Guus) Hiddinks, or do you try and find someone who can give us the football we had under (Kevin) Keegan," Hall said. "There's the Swansea manager, Martinez, who seems to be turning them around." Swansea are flying high in League One this season, three points clear of Nottingham Forest at the top of the table and with a game in hand. The south Wales club maintained their momentum on Saturday by overcoming a spirited Luton, beating the financially stricken club 3-1 at Kenilworth Road. Swansea had their own brush with liquidation in 2002 and Martinez has every sympathy with the Hatters' plight. "It's a sad situation, a club like Luton Town with a huge history, to be in this situation and I think we all feel for them," Martinez said. "We hope they will turn the corner very quickly and they will have a bright future."

Don't worry, MOTD didn't even show it. Why does that not surprise me. I'd put him in the same bracket as Young and Bentley, all different types of wingers.

That Keegan interview wasn't a good one.

Partizan? That was fucking devastating.

Dive? Carsley put his studs into his leg.

They'll have talked about it before hand, they won't.

Cons: Ashley/Mort are looking for an experienced manager so it doesn't really matter.

So who? Alan 'inexperienced' Shearer? Everyone can spout who they want as manager but it doesn't matter because Ashley has other ideas.

Irrelevant considering he would never accept the role.

No.

If i was Charles N'Zogbia, I'd be considering to move on to the next stage of my career, Newcastle has been a good stepping stone in terms of putting him into arguably the best league in the world and showing his talent but I'm sure there are bigger and better things waiting for him and they don't lie at Newcastle United.

I know Shearer might sound like the ideal candidate now they've fucked up the Redknapp deal, but, appointing Alan Shearer under the current ownership would be a mistake IMO, Ashley obviously wants an experienced to take over and by doing that he'll be able to trust him to spend his money wisely, if he ends up appointing Shearer at the pure fact there is no one else to appoint we'll be in the same situation in terms of trust and that is not something we need at this time.

Give it a fucking rest man.
