If I was McClaren I would be gagging for the sack now like - either he has to go in tomorrow and try and work with the set of absolute c***s who clearly ignore everything he says or gets to stay at home in his pants and wait for his million quid pay-off to arrive.

 

Know which I would prefer.

 

I think you're right as I bet he will get another job abroad or in the lower leagues also.

I do football clubs we have a training complex and football stadium in Newcastle, yet they decide to catch a train to York to go and hold a meeting.

 

Why not have a meeting in one of the many rooms that we have in the training complex/stadium? Both of which are private and have security, yet we decide to catch a very public train to York.

 

Bet they absolutely love their expense claims like, such a ridiculously easy job.

Easier to meet somebody, in private, in York??

 

Prozzies ?

suspect they'd have no diffs (moral or otherwise) picking-up ladies to escort them in toon, may even take them for a three course meal ala the little waster: "Chips, peas 'n' sahse"

 

Can't imagine either of them being able to get it up ...its not like the old days with Freddie and Douglas ....proper lads :  )

You lot.

 

FUCK ALL IS HAPPENING

 

They just fancied a trip away then?  If the board has gone off to have a meeting without him something is happening, doesn't mean he'll be sacked like but here's hoping.

Was adamant he was going today.... Feel depressed and feel physically sick.... Here's to the championship next season well not be back for sometime

 

This. Well, I don't feel depressed and sick! But I'm disappointe he's not been sacked and I doubt we'll replace him now.

 

Relegation it is then.

Waster thought he might be rubbing a few brasses...

[mighty__mag]

What the hell is going on?

 

Why is our board such a weak embarrassment. All this crap of Ashley is ruthless, nothing ruthless about anything just a bunch of bottling Fannie's.

 

Tell this tw*t to just f*ck off and leave.

 

Such a soap opera everything we do.

until there's a categoric "he's staying" message from the club i'm choosing to believe they're talking to replacements at the moment

 

the idea he's going to be in charge for leicester and the mackems is too much to take atm

Let's take Leicester as a loss, should we lose yet another Derby, would you not take that as we're gone?

 

Someone must be appointed asap.

Ashley has never sacked a manager for poor results. That's not about to change now

 

Carver

 

Was Carver sacked, or was he just not given the gig full time after being a caretaker?

[toontownman]

There isn't a way back imo. Everything has turned and gone too far. the press rightly or wrongly have reported he is gone tmrw. The fans and public are in support of it. They will cause more damage keeping him now.

Redknapp to the end of the season

 

 

That's exactly what we'll get too. fucks sake man

 

hope it happens and the slack-jowled spatula loses us every goddamn game.

[BONTEMPI]

Fucking hell,  I had a big molar pulled today and that hasn't been as painful as this shite soap opera.  Just boot the ginger up the arse and out the door. 

[nemtizz]

Everyone abuse Douglas if he's wrong.

[morpeth mag]

They're worried that if they sack SMc nobody of any repute will come and work in the present set-up. Changing the set-up is only an option Ashley can force, and he doesn't seem inclined. So they've gone away to think if Tim Sherwood et al are really better options than the SMc. Just maybe they could entice someone good (Rafa) on a 10 game contract, but then if he succeeds and wants to stay, Carr and the gang will lose their power base. It's a lose-lose scenario for the Board.......unless SMc can turn it round....which he can't....but just maybe they can give him two more games...oh it's Tuesday...Wednesday...too late to change now....it will be different when the injuries clear

[Guest chopey]

Ashley has nowhere to turn Nobody will come for passion or pride or loyalty so the only thing left for him to offer is the one thing he coverts the most.......hard cash just pay some gunslinger a bounty to keep us up and then take stock in the summer.

[Jesse Pinkman]

I'm actually more confident he is gone then yesterday. The club would normally be all over quashing these sort of rumours. With Charnley being spotted at the station, most NE journalists seemingly adamant he is gone and the deafly silence from the club, he's probably gone.

 

The main issue is they would have no shortlist at all or even thought about it until probably Saturday. I think this will drag along until Friday/ Saturday when we will bring in our 4th/5th choice manager. Probably Redknapp, Pearson or Cathro until the end of the season.

[Terrymac1966]

I can feel a JFK moment coming on 

[Guest jimbo2308]

His appointment proves beyond a shadow of a doubt that no one at the club has ANY idea about football in the past 15 years.

 

His supporters tried the "he's not a manager, he's a coach"......no, he's not. He's a relic.

 

And if any Ashley supporters remain, it's your 'saviour' who has doomed our club.

[Tooj]

I know clubs often talk of having a list of transfer targets as contingencies if they ever sell some of their players. Do you think that they do the same for managers as well?

 

I mean obviously I wouldn't expect our lot to do that, but clubs with a competent board I mean.

[AlanSkÃrare]

I think this is the model failing. The equation "good enough to keep us up" and "no demands" was close to collapsing under Pardew. In McClaren they thought they'd be able to replicate it, adding a bit more spending because of the tv deal and to get rid of last seasons revolutionary tendencies. But no.

 

Is there anyone left to choose from? I don't think so. I don't think anyone that match their criteria will step up this time. I don't see why Moyes or Rodgers would walk into this, not under the circumstances Ashley would want them to. And if someone is stupid enough to do it, I don't think it'll help because of what they inherit. He's created a incurable and poisoned culture of failing that he's not going to fix.

 

We're fucking doomed and it's probably for the best.

Steve McClaren’s future at Newcastle United remained in a state of damaging limbo on Monday night although the former England coach is expected to be sacked within the next 48 hours.

 

On Monday Newcastle’s board met to formalise crisis talks which had begun on Sunday after the 3-1 surrender the day before against Bournemouth at St James’ Park. McClaren is still scheduled to take training on Tuesday morning.

 

Lee Charnley, the managing director, Graham Carr, the chief scout, and the club ambassador, Bob Moncur, met in York where alternatives to McClaren were discussed and a process of “due diligence” began on the potential of certain candidates to lead an escape from relegation.

 

Two notable absentees were Mike Ashley, the owner, who remained in London but will make the final decision, and McClaren, whose position as a director has always been somewhat semantic.

 

Keith Bishop, a key adviser to Ashley, is said to have been in frequent contact with Charnley, who has been reluctant to dismiss McClaren and was not prepared to rush into a hasty sacking.

 

Despite Newcastle being second bottom of the Premier League there is believed to be no lack of out-of-work managers interested in the potential vacancy. Their number is understood to include two former Liverpool managers, Rafa Benítez and Brendan Rodgers, and the former Everton coach David Moyes. With the former Leicester manager Nigel Pearson also available Newcastle have much to ponder. McClarenis thought to have waited for news of his fate at his home on Teesside on Monday while his players had a day off before preparations for their trip to Leicester, the league leaders, next Monday night.Given that neither Benítez nor Moyes is likely to be overly enamoured with Newcastle’s management structure, under which the head coach coaches and Carr and Charnley take care of recruitment, this painful hiatus could well endure while protracted negotiations take place.

 

Even so, time is short and the prospect of losing countless millions by missing out on the next television deal could yet prompt Ashley to reach a swift decision, identifying a coach he believes capable of bringing the best out of an underperforming squad.
