Steve McClaren is understood to have been dismissed by Newcastle United. The Magpies told McClaren to get on with the job during in the aftermath of the 3-1 defeat against AFC Bournemouth. He left the training ground at 2pm before learning via media reports he was set to be replaced. McClaren has taken training despite masses of speculation that Rafa Benitez was about to take his job as boss of the Magpies. The Chronicle understands that McClaren was not told face to face by managing director Lee Charnley that he has been relieved of his duties and learned of his departure via the media. McClaren had won just six games from 28 in the Premier League. However, the problems run deeper than just the head coach at Newcastle and McClaren has had little or no say in recruitment with just Andros Townsend and Jonjo Shelvey believed to be the choices of the ex-England boss. McClaren has been forced to fight on for his job without a recognised and proven Premier League goalscorer. Talks with Benitez have been ongoing this week but the Spaniard has requested full control of transfers and wants to bring in his own staff. United will have to negotiate a pay off with McClaren and could have to pay his contract up to 2018. Newcastle were unavailable comment when the news broke that McClaren’s time was up.

The way he has been treated over all of this is appalling like.

 

He's a lucky cunt to be getting paid for the shit job he's done. We're still going to be paying him for the rest of his contract as well. He can fuck off.

What a load of bollocks, the media has been speculating for the last 2 weeks.  What does that even mean?  A journalist told him?  So a hack said, 'Steve I hear you've been sacked' which translates as the media telling him.

 

He'll be expressing outrage that his wife's told him what's for tea before he sat down the utter plum

Just imagine if we managed to sneak a win or a draw against Bournemouth.  Thank fuck we lost. 

 

Of course, if we had a competent owner and chairman.  We would have got rid of this prick ages ago.  In fact, we probably never would have appointed him in the first place :lol:

If true, sounds vile. Charnley&co are gutless cowards.

 

I mean, it's obviously true, the media have been talking about his replacement for a couple of days at least.

 

They have been telling him for weeks hes getting the sack. He even had a go at a journo for suggesting he should be gone :lol: Bit late to blame the club for their endless speculating tbh
