Fabricio Coloccini (now retired)

[54]

I'm intrigued, I like him as a person, he seems like a decent guy, he's seemingly well respected by the players, and overall he's done well here, and has been by far our best centre defender in recent history, but as a manager I don't know, what type of style of play would he implement? Will it work being a player manager? Will he be soft with people he would consider "friends"? Will he have to shave of his mullet to look more professional (and therefore lose his powers)? One thing is for sure, i'd rather have him in charge then Pardew.

The list of people I'd have in before Pardew could double as a fucking world census -1 name.

Jonas as assistant manager would be amazing

 

Especially if he sat in the dugout contemplatively strumming a guitar.

 

"Do you mind if I bring my guitar?"

 

"I'd rather you didn't, Jonas, it's not that kind of area"

One does not simply mess with Captain Colo.

@milesstarforth

Not surprised that Coloccini's a candidate for Newcastle job, despite lack of coaching qualifications. Ashley trusts and respects him. #nufc

[Mike]

I'll take it. He used to pass the ball to Benny a lot. That alone makes him better than Pardew and Bruce.

The guy's face when he realises Colo's not messing about, haha.

Inside the club his relationship with those in command strengthened. Ashley and the then managing director Derek Llambias would go to his Jesmond home and discuss the club.

 

At the start of last year, he attempted to follow his wife home to Argentina to be with his family, following personal problems. Newcastle had to fight for his return. Among the many conversations that took place, including those with lawyers, is believed to have been one that involved being the future manager of Newcastle United.

 

That situation moved closer late last night with Pardew on the brink of leaving Newcastle to take over at Crystal Palace.

 

Crikey.

By a fair few accounts, he hates HBA

he also led a group of players who said they wanted nowt to do with him anymore

[Anderson]

It was Coloccini who led a group of players to suggest that Hatem Ben Arfa should no longer be accepted in the first-team squad in the summer, following two dressing-room clashes with Pardew and team-mates. Coloccini felt the apology from the French forward had not been strong enough. Ben Arfa has not kicked a ball for Newcastle since.

 

colo y?

Hm. I dunno. He passed it to him a lot, though. He'll get over the hate.

[The College Dropout]

Jamie Carragher almost choked laughing at the idea.

 

It is pretty ludicrous but we are a ludicrous club. His until summer? We need maybe 4 wins and a couple draws from 19 games to stay up so we are pretty safe. In the mind of Ashley - makes sense.

 

He'll actually have decreased the wage bill.

[The College Dropout]

From the rumours earlier in the year - he'll not have HBA back. From what I remember he was the leader in teh dressing room who said HBA couldn't come back and wouldn't be accepted by the squad. Pardew has no values - he would have loved to have HBA come off the bench whenever we are 2-0 down.

[Incognito]

He won't commit to it bearing in mind he's been trying to leave part of the past two years

[Mick]

Coloccini should get nowhere near the managers job.

[The College Dropout]

It would be a fucking laugh tbh. Come on, let's do it.

[Elliottman]

Colo as manager man 

 

Makes no sense and is utterly mental but I love it.

[Kanj]

TCD is a giggs monster

[Guest hbarecall]

Shut the fuck up sideshow BOB

[timeEd32]

Would almost be worth it for Ronaldo's reaction.

Fabricio Coloccini: Not good enough to control his wife yet good enough to shag my wife yet good enough to captain Newcastle yet good enough to manage Newcastle.

[ponsaelius]

Fucking crease if he's manager. Thing is I couldn't give a fuck tbh, if things go pear shaped and we spiral into disaster at least it'll stir fans out of their slumber. The shitty state of purgatory and apathy we were in with Pardew was totally mind numbing, can only watch the same things happening for so long before you go fucking loopy tbh.

[joeyt]

Maybe people will spell his name right if he becomes manager
