Thespence Posted September 24, 2008 Share Posted September 24, 2008 Venners will do alright man, his teams always played the right way. Houghton is number 2 & is out of his depth as he is not leader, but he is coach & I thought that is all the club wanted at first team level but this is not the time or place to dwell on such trivia. Lets just get him because he saved Boro & I think we need saving NOW!!!! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Willow Posted September 24, 2008 Share Posted September 24, 2008 I guess we are in freefall at the moment and until we're bought, no manager will be coming in.........I don't think we have any choice about this really the more I think about it.

Tisd09 Posted September 24, 2008 Share Posted September 24, 2008 We need a figurehead but even in our situation I would find it hard to stomach Terry Veneables as manager. What a mess. I don't blame Houghton he is not a manager. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't blame Houghton he is not a manager. Wise is the figurehead as ED(F). I was gutted this morning ,I woke up the radio saying ED(F) to spend £7.4 billion thought sweet f***ing jesus, but within 10 seconds found out it is the french bastards at EDF buying our Nuke power stations. Whacked the snooze button after that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optimistic Nut Posted September 25, 2008 Share Posted September 25, 2008 Will be more confident of 3 points on Saturday with Venables, than what I am with what we've got. So just for that reason alone I'm happy to take him short-term. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LooneyToonArmy Posted September 25, 2008 Share Posted September 25, 2008 The former England boss told The Sun: “I can confirm I met Newcastle representatives today. Those talks will continue in the morning when, hopefully, I can give them a final decision.” http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/sport/football/article1731955.ece Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

toontownman Posted September 25, 2008 Share Posted September 25, 2008 Venables makes me feel sick, it might work in the short term though. Would probably prefer Hoddle who would probably be more reliable, steadying fit. Venables could be a great fit or it could be a disaster. Neither inspire me but we dont have many choices and need someone in asap! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

merlin Posted September 25, 2008 Share Posted September 25, 2008 take him in a shot for a stop gap tbh. Said this last week - we have few other alternatives and at least he can coach(reputedly..!). If he turns us down, its George Graham next - if HE turns us down, its Sheff Utd, Doncaster etc next.... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest nufc_geordie Posted September 25, 2008 Share Posted September 25, 2008 We certainly need a stop gap until a new regime is installed and set in place. Vebables to the end of October would work IMO and is probably our best option until prospective new managers can talk to the new ownership and discuss where they stand. The only problem will be if El Tel wins a few games....we don't want another Roeder situation. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LooneyToonArmy Posted September 25, 2008 Share Posted September 25, 2008 Terry Venables has been contacted by Newcastle about becoming their new boss. (Various) Venables is set for talks with the Magpies and will let them know on Thursday whether he wants to become their caretaker manager. (Daily Mirror) Despite the uncertainty over the future ownership of the club, Newcastle hope to lure Venables by offering him a short-term deal, and paying him accordingly as a fire-fighter. (The Independent) The Magpies have also contacted another former England manager, Glenn Hoddle, about the post. (The Times) Newcastle's current owner Mike Ashley hopes to announce a successor to Kevin Keegan before Saturday's home game against Blackburn. (The Times) Tottenham assistant manager Gus Poyet, Blackburn boss Paul Ince and former French international Didier Deschamps are no longer in the frame for the St James' Park post.

Kitman Posted September 25, 2008 Share Posted September 25, 2008 If we get in Venables it shows the extent of the directors' desperation. Venables is the 'go to guy' for clubs in danger of relegation. And we're only a handful of matches into the season Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldtype Posted September 25, 2008 Share Posted September 25, 2008 As good a temporary solution as you can get I suppose. Certainly preferable to going without a manager unitll the takeover is all wrapped up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
