Newcastle Manager Situation

Status
Not open for further replies.

Adds more spice to the derby and Rafa will be more interest in the huge wage packet he'll be getting is my hopes I stead of focusing on relegation battles. Redknapp, not a good example I'll be honest but was good at Spurs and took QPR down twice due to inexperience in relegation battles.

f***ing typical they change their manager before the derby. That's usually our trick!

Although if you think about it, it's a new (ish) manager of ours vs them anyway.

We'll be reet.

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.

I don't think you're in any position to talk about class after what's been going on at your club.

I see where you are coming from but his reputation is from way back(in football terms) and he has done very little of late to enhance it. He has no experience of the mags current predicament nor the unique skill set needed to succeed ..... As much as I dislike FSA he is much better suited to this situation than benitez

I think its just a new manager who will go back to basics might get them a few wins, its not even really about Benitez, I just think someone compitent might give them a boost

Di Canio kept us up for god sake

Big Dick is probably a better example, experienced manager, not used to relegation fights and wasn't the answer long term, but he used common sense more than anything to organise the side

Benitez might be a total disaster, but my worry in all of this is that we did reasonably OK in the last 3 games but didn't get the points, we should have a cushion ahead of them for this very scenario, but we blew it, and now are only 1 point ahead.

Not bad but, worryingly "During his first season, Benítez failed to improve Liverpool's form in the Premiership".



I'm not writing it off but Gerrard got them out of a load of holes in that run.

What in both seasons they got to the final, you build your team around your best players, this is not even about Newcastle now, but no point in saying he wasn't brilliant in those spells in Europe, he was! Don't rewrite history man.

That is an amazing house.... and I really hope it is his house too, because he is hardly going to want to spend more than a couple of days a week away from it up here in a hotel. If he does become manager, he could be like Owen was for them, just popping over on his helicopter and collecting the money.

It is house. You can't see it from the road, very private. It was on rightmove around 08 time I recall.

And in ours and Norwich's

Not Norwich it's not. You have a game in hand so win that and yes it is in yours (depending on the Derby result) if Sunderland win every game no matter how good Newcastle do they won't pass Sunderland.
So it's not in your hands really
