There are zero arguments against I can see other than spite.

Maybe he's just worried about Benitez potentially leaving in the summer if Ashley messes him around and is hedging his bets? Or again perhaps its simply not true

He resurrected his own England career with his performances for us, we didn't hand it on a platter to him.

Why wouldn't you just actively hope it actually improves everything and turns out to be a roaring success?

How much do people like Clement get paid? Assistants at top clubs? Just realised I've no idea.

How many players are we allowed to loan at one time these days?

If you take the morals out of it he's a good appointment for any team whose main aim is to just stay in the division reasonably comfortably.

that very last stat is the telling one for me and sums up everything wrong with the c*** as a manager, if anyone looking to defend him could come up with a reason why that would be so then i'd love to hear it had a flashback this morning to the sack pardew era and people trying to defend the s*** he comes out with as stuff 'every manager says' That's actually not as bad as it sounds. Most clubs from about 9th down usually finish with a negative goal difference don't they?

Yep. He came, played well and tried hard, made a bad choice to leave. Just meh.

I proper love Newcastle but would leave to go anywhere for 41 million a season!

You can test age using some sort of science/magic on people's wrists now. They did it to a Nigerian youth team for a world cup and something daft like 12 out of the 23 man squad were older than they were supposed to be

Is the Woodman hate just through association or has he actually done/said something bad I've missed? Genuine question. Krul definitely didn't improve under him like

Some of the choices in the shoe thread

Both threads are valid yet have their cringey moments, same as pretty much every thread in the forum

Could use a decent penalty taker too.

Have to wonder how much they actually scouted him if what he's got has come as a surprise.

Do think this all coming out will help others speak/deal with their memories, think its hugely important and deserves a lot of respect. Theres something really 'normal' about football, when these players come out it will help encourage a lot of people to talk about what they might have suppressed for a very long time.

Wouldn't have guessed b if you read his full Wikipedia out and showed me a photo of him absolutely wiped from my mind.

I like these. Any more floating about?

The scary thing is there's absolutely nothing you can do to completely prevent it.

I don't like the man but he's had a fantastic career, basically dragging a team to a cl win (not single handedly, but they wouldnt have done it without him) is greater than being an average member of a league title winning team any day.

Assuming he goes within this season, what do people reckon his next move is? Championship club? Lower prem club? Punditry? Will he have another great first 6-12 month run at his next club? Place yer beeeets. Internet points will be awarded for most accurate in 24 months time.

Maybe im being overly confident about the league, but Id gladly drop 3 points at Blackburn to play our first team in the cup, the same with any of the possible future rounds.

I mean I definitely thought he was one of our best players while here, but £30m for a player who was just one of the better players in a relegated side? It's not like he was dragging us to wins week by week and was unfortunate to go down.

Weeey I actually agree with them that the players shouldnt be wearing the poppy but if its true about supporters in the crowd wearing one being part of the charge, seems very heavy handed.
