We got one of the biggest compensation fee's (reportedly) for getting rid of that grey haired prick of all time for a manager. Doesn't matter how big compensation would be to bring in Garde, his coaches, get rid of Stone/Charver/Woodman, it wouldn't be more than the money we got for Pardew fucking off I reckon.

Why'd you have to go and post that, Matt, huh? Sorry. I know it will only end in disappointment

Also this is a good piece. http://www.fourfourtwo.com/features/why-arsene-wengers-protege-would-be-perfect-man-rejuvenate-newcastle It will make me sad if we dont get this cunt.

Pete Graves ‏@PeteGravesSky 1m1 minute ago lots of you have asked about #nufc - I expect them to appoint a new external head coach this season. ---- Not saying he knows anything like...but he tends to be quite involved in a few things at the club as well as SSN.

I'd class NUFCFans in this bracket too.

Just saying he's apparently been contacted by us, according to Bild.

Stalk them.

Haha, poor Nick.

Ryder knows fuck all anyway. Didn't have a scooby about this bloke until well after the French reports came out. Same thing happens with signings these days as well, foreign press tends to be first on the case. Pretty sure he was dismissing Janmaat being done and dusted, whilst Dutch papers oretty much confirmed it was all signed. Blokes a fucking nugget.

Just how easy is Lee Ryders job by the way? Very tempted to take a part time course in journalism just to oust that joker from his job.

We have a decent squad. Any coach with half a decent skill set will get these playing good exciting football and finishing top 10. Howay in Garde.

Fuck the gifs man. Far too early for that kind of joviality.

Thanks. Lots of Love Newcastle fans.

Getting rid of someone horrendously below average and thoroughly unlikeable then (maybes) appointing someone with a decent history albeit in a poor league, who is by all we've read, a likeable manager is cause for celebration enough for me. Like Ian say's, like winning the lottery.

We should have a no gif/new thread policy until things are confirmed.

Idiots man. Some of our fans would rather have 'Curbs'

This chap seems to fit the bill but I wont claim to know anything about him. Trying not to hope. Too many times we've been bent over. Wont happen. We'll end up with Curbishley.

Little article on him from back in 2011: http://www.independent.co.uk/sport/football/european/the-next-arsenal-manager-garde-giving-impressive-audition-at-lyons-2342617.html Sounds very promising. Too good to be true to be honest. Wont happen.

Read somewhere his last game he played was at St James'.

Ben Lyttleton ‏@benlyt 20m20 minutes ago L'Equipe: 'Garde to NUFC, hotting up'. Reports that Remi Garde now first choice to be #NUFC coach after Galtier & McClaren turned them down http://media.giphy.com/media/2GjgvS5vA6y08/giphy.gif

Champion.

That Barca match in 2010 man. Best football I've ever seen.
