I would like to throw this question out there to all nufc supporters,I posted a few days back that I thought patrick vieira should have got the newcastle utd manager's job in front of steve mcclaren whom incidentally I'll back as I do every nufc manager,who do you think should have got the nufc manager's job my fellow geordies?I also say we should be signing players like charlie austin,steven naismith etc instead of this continued signing of french & foreign league players in general,most of these signings are just not working for us!

With the state of the club at the end of last season, the way the owner runs it and the general way NUF is perceived in the media and more importantly in football then McLaren was about as good as we could have hoped to have got. Why do you think Viera would have been better, just because he was a great player? History is littered with great players who did not make successful managers, sadly my own hero Mr Shearer amongst them.
We should have put or faith in Aarons and spent the Thauvin money on Austin.

Nothing to do with it Spire
The hopelessness of this club lies firmly at Ashley's door
He has created a laughing stock,his promises are hollow
An interested owner would have appointed
a forward thinking manager not a like for like shower

Even if it is in the top 10 most well supported teams Get used to supporting a 2nd rate club & fans looking for things that are not and never will be there

You miss the point Art, McLaren is a s good as we could have got under the circumstances.
Would I have preferred Klopp or Acelotti or De Boer, absolutely but the state of the club and its perception in football means they would not touch us and nor would any other manager better than McLaren.

What planet are you on lads. The only time Newcastle have managed to appoint a top manager was in Dalglish. SBR knocked nufcback to stay at barcelona.

so we've had gullit, roeder, souness, sheare aka dowie, hughton, allardyce and keegan. Now out of all those showers, where was a top or up and coming manager?

Keegan first time around and SBR only knocked us back to honour a contract which is the nature of the man.

However any argument you put forward for anything will always be dismissed at because of your statement that Dalglish was a top manager! How can you be taken seriously after that?

spire keegan was unproven, Dalglish had won the title with blackburn so he was sonsidered a top manager at the time - he was rubbish - which proves my point really. SBR is the only top manager we have ever attracted to the club

Nearly Deseree Newcastle under Ashley do not deserve a top manager and will never have one

Some people have said this is a new era
Well it is not SMC just proves that
Saturdays are not the same anymore today I won't even watch the match
