Graeme Jones is likely to remain interim manager of Newcastle United until the next international break as the various members of the consortium continue to discuss who should replace Steve Bruce.

Telegraph Sport can reveal that although former Roma manager Paulo Fonseca has been interviewed and is one of the preferred candidates of the public face of the consortium, Amanda Staveley, other members are still pushing alternative candidates forward.

 

Although Eddie Howe, Steven Gerrard and Lucien Favre have made the shortlist, with former Wigan Athletic and Everton boss Roberto Martinez’s name another to be circulated in the last few days, the one who has been featuring heavily in conversations since the start of the search is Frank Lampard.

As reported by Telegraph Sport more than a fortnight ago, the former England international has always been of interest to Newcastle’s new owners and is believed to be the preferred choice of other individuals involved in the decision process.

 

Lampard is also likely to have been spoken to in the last few days, although this has not been confirmed at this stage.

There is a suggestion that the Saudi Arabians, who have a controlling 80 per cent stake in the club through the country’s Public Investment Fund, like the idea of bringing in a big-name manager like Lampard because of the pulling power he will have for players and sponsors alike.

PIF will make the final decision on who replaces Bruce having listened to the recommendations of those on the ground in the UK, a process that is expected to last well into next week.

Aye because the media cunts keep bringing him up. Looking after the gravy train.

There's no real rush. Jones will be in charge at Palace regardless, then we have a bit of a write off v Chelsea followed by an international break.

 

Brighton is before the international break, isn't it?

[AyeDubbleYoo]

Does Lampard have pulling power? Luke's describing him like he's Pep.

Yes

[Kid Icarus]

Fucking Martinez and Lampard man.  I'd have been gutted with either of those under Ashley never mind the richest baddies on the planet. 

[Happinesstan]

The way they didn't burn Steve Bruce the minute they walked through the door suggests they had sympathy with him. Our new owners are tories and probably read the Telegraph.

Lampard it is, then.

I’m not particularly sold on Fonseca, but Lampard or Martinez would be a disaster. I don’t think either of them would last the season.

[KaKa]

Ah well ... the dream was fun while it lasted. They're seemingly wowed by the celebrity status of the recent famous player that Lampard was. 

 

And we'll be stuck with more relentless bullshit from the media because the golden boy can never do any wrong. We're screwed. Unless of course he comes in and is amazing, which is a pretty big longshot.

[DoricGinola]

Lampard, no thanks

In short, I literally made this up and I don’t have a fucking clue.

 

Nowt new there Luke!

[Dr Venkman]

They’re just being thorough. If PF has had 3 interviews they clearly like him. Still think it’ll be him.

Lampard's inability to get signings at Chelsea together into a unit should be an immediate red flag to us.

 

The difference when tuchel went in was startling.  Tuchel after Dortmund and PSG I wasn't too impressed but he's turned me around and he's in the top 3 managers in the PL.

[gdm]

Lampard would be worst case stuff. Would be so predictable tho 

[LV]

Think this is Luke having a bit of fun at our expense 

[SUPERTOON]

Basically Bruce is gone so material Edwards used to wind up fans has gone. Now he knows none of us want lampard so he is using that.

 

Out of all the journalists out there he is one who won’t have a source under the new owners 

[KaKa]

Man, it would be such a massive let down.

 

The irony on top of it is he would still have all the concerns that some had with Fonseca, except none of the potential upside because in actuality he hasn't achieved anything at all in football. Why on Earth should this man just walk into this job with virtually no experience?

So weird how much hate Lampard gets. People ought to read about his time at Chelsea from all stages. He’s an intelligent, hard working, and modern thinking manager. He got the dream gig of taking over his club and had a right go of it. They spent a ton of money for him for players he had a major say in coming in and it didn’t work for him and they sacked  him. The issue for me is, yeah Tuchel is a fantastic manager who’s also been working far longer, but how does English football get away from the dinosaur managers? Surely not by sacking and tarring Lampard, Howe, Rooney and Gerrard as PFM brigade. It’s by allowing these to actually fail and giving them a chance. 
 

haven’t seen Gerrard, Lampard or Rooney claim Bruce was one of the most influential managers in England over the last 100 years like Arteta. 

 

probably by making them start at the very bottom, regardless of their playing pedigree, and earning themselves a job

It is, my bad 

[Guest dazzanufc1892]

Personally Lampard would be my choice over the other names except conte.

[SUPERTOON]

Lampard would take us down IMO

Why? I don’t think Lampard is going to do anything as a manager.

[KaKa]

I really think these local media guys are like groupies. They like the British managers so they can paddy up to them and hang out with them sometimes I guess? It's so weird.

 

Get the impression they don't like the foreign managers because they are more professional and don't really get all pally with the media in the same way.
