getting a new manager in is a massive inconvenience to Ashley like, will cost him some money after all.

not even made a shortlist yet. class.

They'll hand Carver a permanent contract if this happens.

'We don't do loans'

Sky italia reckon we've made a formal approach for Niang. Joys.

tbf they're having a good season. not sure what's going on there though.

Must be a foreign coach this time imo.

Talented player who has been struggling a bit but will certainly improve with a good manager.

I would prefer a foreign coach like if we insist on this continental approach.

Honestly wouldn't trust Carver to keep us in the league. Hopefully Ashley thinks the same.

Pardew's reign had set the malaise so deep that the crowd were like zombie's. Given the length of his contract and how shit the football was I think lots had just given up, whereas others have been brainwashed into thinking small since relegation. Might sound odd but I was glad to hear a bit of booing after the last game. Despite what the rest of the country says our fans should always have high standards and expect the best. That mindset might come alive again now we finally have no Pardew.

Pretty good evidence that this set of players needs a completely fresh outlook in terms of coaching.

So? They were canny close to sacking Benitez a few months ago.

100% agree. Rafa would be perfect for us. Just my opinion but i think he'd be very keen if approached. Unfortunately your second point is correct too meaning it will be some bruce/adkins etc. Like previous poster i'm just gonna enjoy the next few days. I agree, I think he'd jump at the chance to manage us. If he thinks the Liverpool fans like him imagine if he won a trophy with us? I will enjoy the Pardew free environment as we all will, but how massively frustrating that we're probably gonna get some cheap chancer rather than someone like Benitez.

Obviously if we had a owner looking to take the club forward my number one pick would be Benitez, think he'd have Newcastle absolutely flying. Total fantasy talk with Ashley though.

Not really 100% sure on Mclaren but i'd take him as i'd have it down as a safeish appointment given Ashley's history.

Don't want Bruce, his patter about the north east fans demanding to much is absolutely cringeworthy and he couldn't win a derby either.

don't get me wrong I'm happy but Ashley has wiped the smile off our faces so many times, somat monumentally shit is round the corner.

tbf i'd take that, but i'm paranoid who'd we would get in.

We'll appoint Warnock if Pardew leaves mind..

How utterly ridiculous.

What an insult to the fans that selection is.

in your opinion, aye. I just think he'd be able to get Rangers competing with Celtic quite hard again without having to spend loads to do it. Perfect for him.

I hate Ashley but i think he'll be decent for them, as scottish football is about his level. In comparative terms if Ashley was doing to Rangers what he's done to us they'll probably start pissing the SPL again in no time. Premiership clubs its different though obviously due to the level of opposition and the fact that 19 other clubs won't stop still, and also the sheer amount of money needed to realistically achieve success. If he totally cheapens the brand and history of Rangers then obviously thats s*** (for them) mind.

They've been playing shit and he hasn't been sacked.
