Newcastle UTD unable to find anyone willing to take on the managers job

So poor old Chris Hughton has been offered it

Whats Ashleys thinking? This guy along with pedo Al took the club down.. he hasnt done anything other than have a decent start in a lower league with players that should be doing well in the Championship tbh.

Chris is quite happy tpo stay 'caretaker' he hasnt threatend to walk or put pressure on for the job?

How long a contract will he get? Rumours of 4 years must be BS after the rinsings NUFC have took paying off their last few managers.

Whats the fatmans thinking?

hughtons not done much wrong THIS SEASON. He seems to have got a bit of stability and confidence back into the team, so the last thing we wanna do is upset that again and appoint a new and possibly shitter manager. Id give him the job short term, if anything. Why not just leave it as it is ?

i don't really see why to be honest, unless ashley is taking the club off the market.

hughton's a coach, he's made a good career out of that at spurs and i don't think he's ever claimed to be a manager. i'm glad he's working for the toon and i'm glad he's done well thus far this season, but i think the more sensible move would be appoint a manager and put hughton back into a coaching role where he belongs.

we had this situation with roeder, appointed somebody who was essentially a coach into a manager's position because he'd done alright for a short space of time, and look what happened there. what kind of pulling power does hughton have for 'big' players, and what kind of respect or authority does he have in the dressing room?

hes obviously got some respect, a few players have now come out and said hes doing very well. fair enough hes not a great attraction for potential players atm, but realistically, what 'big name' manager is gona want to come here anyway ?

there's a sheet metalworker's son from gosforth that i reckon would be a much better appointment...

he's a better manager ? fair enough, he may be able to attract better players, but is he a better manager ?


No.

If he gets more than one year (which he will otherwise its a piss take) what do you think he do in the prem? fuck all thats what

ps. tonight you play Scunthorpe pmsl

We've lost 2 games out of a possible 12, joint top of the League (only pipped by goal difference) & Houghton's been named Manager of the month 2 consecutive months in a row this season, why shouldn't he be appointed for the rest of the season?

Granted Houghten seems to merely be a sticky plaster for whats a gaping wound up at the Toon, but fuck me we could have easily been looking at the wrong end of the League by now which would have completely drilled us for the rest of the Season.

The championships a shit league, it's the most unpredictable League I've ever followed & results are all over the shop with just about every team, but i'll quite happily settle for where we are & who's managing us should it mean the table looking something like it does at present come the end of Season.

how on earth can you say that with any sort of belief in the tripe you're spouting?

shearer has just as much managerial experience as hughton, with better results, given their premiership stints last season...

aaah you have crawled out from under your weekend rock have you Hakan Proud

Same old shit different flies I see tho....

Shearer's management was shit last year.

THe funny thing is he used to sit on MOTD and criticise managers for a living then despite all Newcastle's problems found out it's not as easy as it looks.

I think Shearer is a cunt, Great great player but great players don't always make great managers. He looked out of his depth last year.

i'd disagree with that. i don't think he's a great manager, but i think he should have a chance. i think he knows the game well and given the chance would be a good manager. there was a great feeling of optimism around the club when he was there that hadn't existed for a long time.

I probably should have said good rather than great.

Optimism yes which went nowhere because the only game he won was a derby game. He went into the club in a win win situation knowing whatever happened he'd still be a god.

He did nothing and couldn't keep you up. He never looked like he had any tactical nouse.

Sure he may get you up if you had him as manager but you'd be better off giving someone the job who's prooven because shearer never looked to inpire the players despite who he was.

He's always going to inspire the fans that's inevitable but after his end of last season as much as the players said they were behind him it would be interesting to see how many were.

Tbh with you I completely agree. I don't give a shit for all this hero worshipping crap, he came in and to be fair we had a better squad than some of the teams that stayed up, and he could do nothing with what we had, the players didn't even lift at all or put any effort in, and in ou last game we went down with a wimper.

Get a decent manager I say.

Personally I blame the players. Yes the off field stuff was a distraction but we had articles every week from different players saying their business is on the pitch

I think the players were stuck in a rut, many of them have gone to new clubs & looked like they have a new lease of life (Martins, Owen, Bassong etc)

Like it was mentioned on here a few times, we had no relegation causes in the players contracts, nothing was really at stake for them. Most knew they would move on or be in the Championship earning Premier League wages

Although I do think Shearer was out of his depth in the situation we were in, I dont blame him for us going down. I think it would have taken a very experienced manager to change the way we were playing at the end of the season

Yes but what I'm saying is, there was no reason for the players to play shite, we were an established premier league side, with a huge following. All they needed imo was a bit of guidance and inspiration, and that never came.

I'm not saying the players weren't to blame because they were, but I think if we'd got a top manager things would have been different.

Its hard when your chairman tries to do it all on the cheap!

Yeah there's lots that went wrong at newcastle, I just believe we had the team to stay up just lacked belief and a bit of guidance.

The team was shite last year look at last seasons strikers Oba & Owen bit part players at there new clubs & Fatduka is player no one wants & they where the players to score the goals to keep us up ffs.

Yous are just shite
