SUPERTOON

The express reckon there will be a final board meeting tomorrow to decide, as Ashley and Charnley are still reluctant to sack him.

How ironic the decision is with them when they should all be going to. We may as well just forfeit Monday's match if McClaren is still in charge, it literally would be a new low for the club.

Last pay off. Yeah it must be, but imagine how awkward it will be if we don't manage to get someone else and he stays at a club were literally nobody wants him.

What about McClaren btw. He must clearly know the club doesn't want him and is possibly talking to other managers, yet he just rocks up at training to coach a bunch of players who also quite clearly don't want him, to prepare us for a game where he will be booed by fans who also don't want him. And I thought Pardew had thick skin.

Le Ryder said no decision has been made on McClaren's future yet.

Whose this guy again? Remember him commenting on signings before.

Some loons on Twitter actually want Pearson in, I'd rather keep McClaren.

It's actually not possible for anyone to believe he should stay, it's actually the most obvious thing in the world to see.

How is that even possible?

Where's this being reported? SSN http://www.skysports.com/watch/video/sports/football/10195565/newcastle-silent-over-mcclaren

Tbh, what's more likely with them in charge, is that nothing has even been happening over the last few days, as in we were not even thinking of sacking him, so why make a statement.

Maybe just maybe, we are actively in talks with a replacement before sacking him.

Moyes would be a disaster here, he's a manger on the way down and plays dreadful football. Garcia is it that left Roma? He'd be more likely given Carr's love of all things French.

Nowt on Twitter?

He'd be gone already if we were going to sack him.

The comments on the clubs official twitter page are brilliant.

he will score the winner to save Steve.

Just doubtful, only 3 minutes till we find out though.

Btw even if the article were true, now all this has come out there is even less chance of us sacking him, just so they can say the journalist was wrong.

If we don't score within the first 20 minutes i think your right.

Probably because they know as well as us that he is never going to be sacked.

Spurs were poor there like, they never seem to create many clear cut chances.

Why? Hope is right no other premier league club would have McClaren peeling oranges. He's slammed us for weeks and it's tedious. Similar to Luke Edwards he blatantly has a gripe with the club and he jumps on anything he can. It's also massively unprofessional ranting like some little mug at a press conference like the idiots they get on Sky Sports News. More importantly we need to win and I really really don't want to go down. If we lose today it's curtains regardless of whether they sack him. The Telegraph seem to have better sources as well and according to them there doesn't seem any desire for Charnley to sack him. Just out of interest, what do you want the press to write about us then? And according to every jouro there yesterday, it was McClaren who started having an unprovoked go at him.

Not sure I know he covered us all the time till Ashley banned him.

Luke Edwards or is he still banned?
