I think what's happening is that they've targeted a specific, currently employed British manager. I doubt they've ruled foreigners out altogether. If their initial approach for whichever manager they have targeted is knocked back, they'll pursue other avenues.

Continue supporting Newcastle. what could be more obscene?

What's the problem with hiring a foreigner? Goddamn I wish this made sense.

Not foreign? Fucking hell.

What the fuck happened? Jesus Christ this is ridiculous. They have to have someone lined up. Shocked!

Have to say the same thing. Unbelievable.

Rozenhal really is fucking awful.

Even if it means 10 men, get Smith off.

Few minutes back over here. Has this actually happened?

Would love some subs, but who do you put in?

Is this massive bastard actually going to score on us?

Happens every second half.

Count yourself lucky you've never had to sit through North East Soccer Night. Or Super Soccer Saturday Sunday or whatever the fuck they call that.

Faye is making a case for himself.

Where does Kazenga play? Either Smith or Butt needs to come off. Either that, or move Smith to the right and then we can just ignore Smith and Rozenhal.

Dunno. Name a player on their team that has set up better chances for them than Smith. He's in the running for MOTM. Are you pissed? Are you? That's some of that subtle American sarcasm there.

He hasn't played regular football in months, tbf. Looks decent enough, I think.

LuaLua and Carroll? Thats the Bench? Seriously?

Is Faye available for the Man U game?

Problem is, we never come out of the tunnel motivated. If they get an early corner, they could sneak one.

We're about three minutes slow over here. The fuck is wrong with this guy?

He's easily one of the most invisible players we've ever had. I ask this every thread. What is his job today? When Stoke are attacking, I don't seem him defending. When we attack, I don't see him running forward.

Holy shit, Smith is playing.

Has there been one foul called on Stoke yet?
