Geordies

[Whiskyman]

A;; very well saying they don't want him but it looks as if the club is in a real mess right now so they certainly can't expect anyone close to the calibre of Rafa Benitez.

Some might opine that the answer to a real mess isn't Steve Bruce.

We're in trouble, lads
Don't worry I've got Steve Bruce's phone number
Hurrah, we're saved

Is an exchange that would only ever occur at the World's Bentest Nose Championships.

My point is that at this moment Newcastle is not the sort of job any proven manager, or an up and coming reputation builder, would want. An owner who is even less liked than ours, nil investment in the playing staff, the sale of their best (only ?) striker and an overall feeling of doom and gloom around the place.

The fans loved Benitez, Benitez loved them but because of boardroom ineptitude and inaction there came a parting of the ways. The only manager they are likely to attract at the moment is one off the merry go round of recycled flops. The only consolation for Newcastle fans is that it could have been even worse. At least they avoided Hughes, Monk and a second spell of Mr Relegator himself, Pardew.

He has got a funny hooter...makes his eyes look like they are divorced

Looking like one of the relegation spots is taken already, hopefully joined by Sheffield Utd and Norwich.

You'd imagine Ashley's looking for a steady hand, when what he really needs is a miracle worker.
If it was me I'd be more tempted by Pulis. Land of the giants hoofball can be pretty effective if you're looking to avoid relegation on a budget.
Trouble for the Toon is that there's no hope of employing anyone close to Benitez in quality. And Ashley just isn't the man for a left field, or brave appointment - - David Wagner, Pablo Machin, etc.
So, whilst Bentiez was a step forward, even with limited transfer funds, Bruce is three steps back.
If there's no takeover, it's hard to see them surviving.
And if they do go, without a Rafa to bring them back up, they could be gone for a while.

They are fucked . Whatever price they are for relegation is a good price.

Fill ya boots , I’m surprised there’s not transfer requests flying about left right & centre .

Well Ayoze Perez, Joselu and Rondon have all gone one way or another so it seems you don't actually need to. I can see that American guy leaving along with Shelvey and Longstaff if the price is right.

I'd add Lascelles, Hayden and Ritchie to that list.

Yeah, definitely Lascelles. They are fucked....cant even agree a deal with Bruce and Sheff Wed when Bruce is a Geordie.

BRUCE NAMED NEWCASTLE BOSS

Steve Bruce has been confirmed as the new Newcastle manager on a three-year deal.

The 58-year-old, who left Sheffield Wednesday earlier this week, will be joined at St. James’ Park by coaches Steve Agnew and Stephen Clemence.

Good luck to them and hope for the best
