Out of available managers, who would your top 3 to replace Pardew be.

for example mine:
1. Marcelo Bielsa
2. Martin O'Neill
3. Roberto Di Matteo

Jtoon may I ask why you have Martin o'niel on that list, the other two I agree with but o'niel?it has nothing to do with him being manager in the badlands because I do quite like the bloke!

Mine would be:-
1) de matteo
2)pochettino (spelling, Southampton)
3)clarky

Although we all know JFK will be the next manager weather we like it or not!

JT, genuine question, are you really a geordie or just a really really dedicated mackem troll, because some of the stuff you come out with is bordering on the absurd, and it always leads me to feel genuinley embarrassed that you're a Newcastle fan?

A lot of newcastle fans would also take O'Neill, he'd sort our defence out. and PFM, do you really think Pochettino will come to us?

and also why lee clark? What has he done in his managment career that's going to make him better than pardew? just because he was a good player for us doesn't mean he will be a good manager for us.

No jtoon I don't think pochettino or any manager with any self respect would ever come to us and imo clarky could do no worse than pardew and at least he would show a bit of pride unlike anyone currently employed by Nufc!

P. f. M dead right no self respecting man will ever come too much damage been done by the Oaf. Anyway the jobs Jokers and for people Who think Pardew is bad just watch when this person gets involved.

Sorry JT but Martin O'Neill, really?The bloke has turned us down in the past, plays route one long ball football and has a horrendous track record of wasting the money he is given. We all slated AP for the long ball footy last season and at least the players are trying to play a passing game so MoN would just take us back there and when Ashley spends so little we cannot afford a manager who wastes it.

My choice would be Glenn Hoddle, he has learnt from his mistakes, would get our undoubted technically gifted players playing and would bring the youngsters on. My only concern is his transfer market record - £10m for Jack Richards?

Other than that I'd go for an older European manager who is not working that fancies one last challenge (and what bigger challenge is there than us) such as Hiddink, Hynkes or Hitzfeld but to be honest I can't see anyone other than a desperate out of work manager or a young manager looking for a break coming anywhere near us with Ashley as owner and that thing as DoF. So if Pards goes to Palace I can see us ending up with David O'Bleary or Curbishley.
Sad sad days for us supporters and even worse when Cabaye goes in January, HBA in the summer and Remy back to QPR when they get promoted. Still look on the bright side we have no debt. oh apart from the £200 mill we owe Ashley as a result of his rubbish decisions that took us down in the first place. I'd even be happy if Freddy took the club over again, at least we had some excitement in those days.

Jtoon I continue to read your posts with great interest as we are now good friends but your ringing endorsement of O'Neill would suggest you need a check up at the Docs. Have you done any research into him? the guy didn't even attend every training session whilst overseeing some of the worst performances ever seen in PL history last season, the guy showed such arrogance and proved a managerial dinosaur incapable of going with the times. I genuinely feel I have to step in to stop you looking so foolish. It would make all of Ashleys decisions so far seem sensible.

8.) 31 Oct 2013
Did I put him as my first choice? No. Did he get to 6th three times in a row for villa? Yes. O'Neill is a good manager, he'd sort our defence out, yes we probably wouldn't play the most attractive football, but if it worked you'd be happy. Its only a choice and pardew probably won't be sacked and if he does JFK will most likely takeover sadly.

Great idea Jtoon. He nearly got us relegated. Without Robertson he is useless.
