I thought the Chronicle et al were all back in the club's good books? Or are they all part of the Mirror group?

This.

Aha was just about to post his picture as well. Lol. Love that film.

Blergh.

They get him to ring Jonas & Raylor to tell them their released, then fire him as well.

You're tripping man. If you're terrible at your job then you deserve the sack. Aye, I'm too soft. Tbh, he deserved sacking for abusing fans and offering them fights let alone anything else.

I do think it's right he's gone, a new manager has to be able to appoint his own staff but I never like to see anyone sacked, from his point of view it's a bit harsh when he's clearly been promised he would be involved in some way next season. I suppose he'll have the contract pay-off to console him.

Genuinely shocked. He was pretty damned sure he was being kept on.

I didn't hear him say anything of the sort at the Q&A, he said when he was up at SJP even though it was towards the end of his career it blew him away.

I went to see the film last night at the Tyneside Cinema, it was great but had quite a sad slant to it. Mainly stories I'd heard before having read his autobiography some time ago. He's a character and has his demons which I think makes him relatable. It was nice to Stuart Pearce in the Q&A afterwards and there were some kind words about Newcastle and the fans. I still love Stuart Pearce me.

If Carver's replaced I'd expect him to still be on the coaching staff. They won't release Carver & Stone, perhaps Woodman will go and join Charvdew at Palace.

:lol:

He probably sneaked a photocopy of Carr's scouting list before he scuttled off.

I must admit also, it's a relief to not have to listen to his self aggrandising bullshit any longer. Even if we do only get McClaren, at least he's not a total cunt.

A new low for Sam Neill's career. Whoever ever talked him into that one!

Just been watching Jack Warner surrounded by his heavies fighting off journalists in Trinidad. Quite amusing really. They know they're finished.

Quique Sanchez Flores? Never heard of him? I'm sure lots of people only think a manager is any good if he's got a foreign sounding name.

They'll just extend it man.

I'm not bothered to be honest. I couldn't blame him for going to PSG at the time but it hasn't worked out for him since. He was the mainstay of the French national team, he can't say that now, so arguably it was the worst thing that could've happened for his career. The fact he may end up at Palace under that chump is more depressing for him than us.

I agree it's an underwhelming appointment but if he gets the job I'll support him. With a bit more money to spend this summer he could do quite well. I'm not going to write him off as the second coming of Pardew or worse. McClaren is a much better coach than Pardew ever was. He'd be good for some of our younger players, Perez, Aaron's, etc. Its about time some of our players got some proper coaching, of which he'll deliver. I'm sorry but we could do a lot worse given our boards track record.

I do wonder if Charnley & Co have been keeping their cards close to their chest, and when the new 'Head Coach' is announced it'll take everyone by surprise, both with the timing and who it is i.e. not Carver and someone not thus far linked?

Whey, you never know, he could do really well!

I think he's definitely a good coach and is well thought of in the game, but he hasn't succeeded as a manager anywhere other than Twente, and has had more clubs in his career already than I've had hot dinners. I suppose if you'd asked me when we still had Pardew if I'd have preferred McClaren, I'd probably have said yes. Small victories.

I'll choose to ignore it until proven otherwise.
