SUPERTOON

Said many times but Shearer in particular should not be allowed anywhere near any football making decisions.

Good article that, interesting that it says normally Stavely and the rest of the consortium will be in Newcastle 3 days per week but next week will be here all week. Suggests movement on managerial and other fronts next week.

Im more excited by him after realising they changed their minds on him because their new sporting director wanted a more conservative manager

By the sounds of the statement they have already decided he’s gone and are literally just wanting a replacement in.

Add in the fact 99% of them are absolutely crap

I think it’s more the stadium is more likely to turn on him very quickly if we go behind which will harm our chances of a result in comparison to if he had gone.

How long has he been out of management ? Hes always been one of my favourite managers

Having originally been fuming all week that he hadn’t gone I’ve calmed down a bit and realised they will be planning and trying to get the best manager available. This will probably or possibly mean they are targeting a manager currently employed, or a big name where negotiations take longer. As long as we get the right name it will have been worth putting up with him another game but I also maintain what I said earlier in a little concerned this won’t be his last game here.

God he should not be here on Sunday

Can I ask what you make of Emery ? You will have had much more experience of him than us

My main concern is that he’s now going to be here after Sunday tbh.

Still want us to win this regardless now, however I will hate seeing him in charge

Good statement, would have preferred it to come earlier in the week but let’s just enjoy a weekend of football for the first time in years

I don’t want either but out the 2 I would go Gerrard

I would prefer him to Lampard but still not sold on him

? no chance

He’s the ideal candidate for me, I think he keeps us up this season comfortably and then is good enough to push us up the table

Since he was linked last night I feel more and more that Emery would be ideal for what we need now and over the next 2/3 years

Reckon we could tempt Raphinia in the summer ?

Can’t see it being true coz I can’t see the consortium letting him stay over a money, pretty sure you can put them on gardening leave whilst sorting out a pay off as well

The only reason our players like him is because they wouldn’t be here under a competent manager in fact they wouldn’t be premier league players

I assume Bruce will say something along the lines of he’s been given a chance to show what he can do

Just speaking about him in here makes brings it home how awful it is he’s going to still be here on Sunday
