LRD

Reckon it's a board in name only, and veto powers or final say goes to Charnley and ultimately Ashley. Not much different from how it worked in the past with Llambias/Charnley, Pardew and Carr.

Glad that he's been given the boot. There's no way the players can work with him either as the head coach or the assistant after what happened last season. Meanwhile, Lee Clark dusts off his tracksuit...

Like that Jamaica kit.

That training kit looks like someone got thrown a black marker and a ruler, and was tasked with designing a kit.

NUFCesque. Havng the gold strips to match the kit sponsor.

Would be funny if Dick is allergic to pollen.

Really silly of him to want that. Could come here and play for half a season, then take a vacation for the other half.

Best coach in da league could hear Sir Bobby speak to him in his dreams every night.

What's the point of a one-year deal anyway? The players are so going to be motivated and give their all for someone who will leave next summer.

To force McClaren into a decision. We were never going in for Vieira, and if we did, we won't make it work for him since he's very much his own man.

Wonder what Raylor's and Jonas' expressions were during and after Carver pass-the-phone conversation.

Sadly a football moron wields all the power.

Imagine PV schlong-slapping those tools and cowards in the dressing room.

Cos those forrins would have their own ideas of progressive football, of wanting both personal and team achievements. Would rock the boat too much for Ashley's comfort.

Being a #2 requires both the manager and players to trust you. Can you imagine reverting Carver to assistant (cos he's still on that 8-year deal), after hanging out the players to dry during his incompetent managerial spell? And in the rare chance that we appoint a former top player in Vieira, on how he's going to work with this tool? Great sign of the new direction MA is having us heading.

West Ham have a better list than ours.

It doesn't matter there's a shortlist of 4 or 80, the job is McClaren's to lose.

Newcastle will give him the tools for himself and the club to be successful. He will have plenty of good players with millions to spend this summer. We also give him a platform to manage one of the best teams in England. This along with million other reasons will make us an attractive option for him and great tools to deliver and make him one of the best managers in the future.

The only table that Saylor contributes massively each season. And now there's de Jong. Happy days.

Nobody, but why does it matter? Should ban him from this board if he does hire Carver.

It's ok. We are heading towards a new direction. Ashley's going to continue investing in the club, we will take competitions more seriously. Every reason to believe him and be optimistic. This is going to be THE summer.
