TRon Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 What about Pep? Ancelotti maybe? Well I think a guy who managed Lille for 5 years and Roma for one is slightly more realistic than Ottmar Hitzfeld who a) won the Bundesliga a million times and the Champions league twice and b) just officially retired - and yet Hitzfeld is in the poll. I agree that Garcia is probably unrealistic given the current relative situations / league positions of Newcastle and Roma and because he's just begun a new project at Roma. However, I don't think that we should underestimate the draw of the Premier League and the opportunity to compete with managers like Mourinho, Van Gaal, Wenger, Pellegrini etc. Van Gaal almost went to Tottenham which and while they are definitely a more attractive option right now, I would consider Spurs a comparable club to Newcastle. In any case, Garcia is the kind of manager we should be trying to attract (i.e. a manager who plays entertaining attacking football and has consistently led teams to over-perform) rather than picking from the same old Premier League merry-go-round of managers (Pulis, Sherwood, Mackay, Steve Clarke, DiMateo etc.). Lucien Favre is another one who fits the Garcia mould and hasn't yet been poached by a massive club. Hopefully he's one we'll look at if Pardew leaves. this is the sort of direction we should be going. The guy Village Idiot has mentioned a few times is also supposed to like attacking football.

Manxst Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 Slaven Bilic anyone? Can't be on too much salary-wise at Besiktas, can he? He promotes young players to the first team when they're good enough (see Croatian U21's etc), has a background in English football, plus I seem to remember him saying he'd like to manage in the Premiership at some point? I know they're in the Champions League, but I'd like to think that we're still a bigger draw than they are...although I might just be deluded on that?!

Hitzfield wasn't actually serious, was a reference to this I'm guessing - http://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/news/north-east-news/30000-hitz-1524241 Rudi Garcia would probably choke on his laughter if Mike Ashley rang up his agent.

Exiled in Texas Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 Patrick Kluivert for the lols He's better than Pardew, don't see any reason why he shouldn't be given a chance considering some of the other options.

The College Dropout Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 David Moyes is fantasy land stuff. 1 of the key criteria of being NUFC boss - is being the defensive mouthpiece of the whole board. Anyone who would normally deserve the NUFC job (David Moyes would be right up there, let's be honest) would not be interested in doing that. Our best hope is someone from a Second-Tier European league side (France/Holland/Portugal) and I can't see Ashley going that route. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interested in the HSV job for a long time, but nothing done yet. Honigstein told me (yes I am boasting) when I asked him if Tuchel would be interested in NUFC that he is fluent in English.
