Re: Rafa Goes
Thought it was just the usual summer noises from the North East... they annually have him threatening to leave then they stump up the money and he whines for 12 more months.
Could be a rough season for the magpies.
I don’t think SD will get anywhere near the job. Newcastle fans think they should be aiming to challenge top six playing a certain style. SD would be a fish out of water.

Re: Rafa Goes
Let’s hope that if SD is linked, then Newcastle announce their new man (hopefully not SD) before we’re back for preseason. Can do without the speculation interrupting our plans.

Re: Rafa Goes
I think the Geordies would be up in arms if they were linked with SD, they are massive don't you know ?

Can we now assume the takeover is dead in the water? I couldn't see Rafa walking away from a huge transfer kitty.

Re: Rafa Goes
Realistically would this be a good move for Dyche?
He either have to work under Ashley, a toxic environment where he will be expected to work miracles on a shoestring.
Alternatively, they get taken over and he is quickly cast aside just like at Watford.

Jose to Toon (if the takeover happens)

Knowing Ashley he will look to appoint someone on the cheap, so that rules Dyche out.

I must be missing something, as I don't see this as good news. Not until they have a new manager and it's not Dyche, anyway.

Re: Rafa Goes
Wherever SD goes after us will be 'risky', he would back himself for any challenge that comes his way. For that reason I wouldn't be surprised to see him accept the job if offered.
Re: Rafa Goes
Not sure Dyche would do a quick turn around. Lose six games on the spin somewhere like that and he’d be toast.

Praying Monk gets the gig. Only two other relegation places to fill out of Norwich, Sheff U & Villa.
Re: Rafa Goes
I could see Chris Houghton in the role, got an inkling it could be him.
honestly can't see Dyche going up there at this present time, would be very surprised if he did.

I completely forgot he'd ever been there. In my mind I envisioned him on the touchline, shouting orders onto the pitch against the St James Park backdrop.

Re: Rafa Goes
If Dyche really does want to replicate Allardyce's career, this is a logical move.
Re: Rafa Goes
Dyche doesn't seem a great fit for Newcastle if that fat #### Ashley is still there. Ashley has had enough of managers that don't toe the line for a little while, so he's likely to install a bit of a "yes-man" for a bit.
Hughton was ousted by Ashley, so that doesn't seem likely. Even Fat-boy must have worked out that Pardew is next to useless (although if uselessness is a league table, then Kinnear, Ardiles and John Carver are dead certs for relegation, and Pardew will have to fight it out with Souness, Dalglish, Fat Sam and MacLaren for next worst).
Lee Bowyer would be free, and that'll go a long way with Ashley, but If he really wants to p#ss the Geordies off then his love puppet Dennis Wise would be a decent outside bet, with Shola Ameobi as caretaker manager in the meantime.
This:-
"He’d be strung up from day 1 for not being Rafa Benitez. Lose a couple of games and he’s toast."
is just wrong. They'd probably like Dyche quite a lot. He's not Rafa - but he's also not Ashley, Wise, Michael Owen, Pardew (etc. etc. see above, nearly all of whom are on the list because they are mates or closet excusists for Ashley and the way that he runs the club.

If their Arab takeover is happening, no way will they go for a manager like Dyche - they’ll want a “Name”. If it isn’t, Dyche isn’t daft enough to get into bed with Ashley.

But as this is Newcastle I am not worried.
Dyche isn't an idiot and knows the revolving door policy at Newcastle would see him at job club before XMAS.

If you discount Carver's 6 month temporary stint Newcastle have only had 4 manager in the last 10 years which is quite good by todays standard and on a par with Burnley who have had 4 managers themselves in that time periodInchy wrote:If this was Villa, Southampton, Wolves, West Ham etc etc I might be worried
