Fat Sam Gorn!

[Hamburger Pimp]

Newcastle United have parted company with "Fat" Sam Allardyce.

Who's next, then?

Shearer?

McClaren?

Mourinho?*

Lippi?

El Tel?

What a mental club.

*Not a bliddy chance.

what a shower of b*stards a manager needs at least a year to settle in! poor sam!

[Vic Patterson]

Surely the blame must lie with the person or people who picked Sam Allardyce for the job, I'm quite sure Sam didn't change his style or method when he came to Newcastle, and he isn't new to soccer, he was well known! the last manager was unknown, but was given a chance and unfortunately failed.

Management appear to be the incompetent ones at NUFC, I hope they are more successful next time as the Geordie fans deserve success, it's been a long time since their Fairs Cup success.

harry rednap for £20 million? what a waste of !*!@# money!

jose Mourinnho!

Harry says "No".

Which leaves the owners looking a little foolish. If you're going to pay your manager off in the middle of a season, make sure you have a replacement lined up.

Still, a nice easy fixture at tea-time to look forward to.

Kevin Keegan for toon manager? what are they playing at?

alan shearer couldn't manage a five a side kick about never mind newcastle!

bring on jose!

[Hamburger Pimp]

Didier Deschamps is the new favourite.

[Mr Darn]

Shearer in the sun!

he says if approached, he would take the job on......

...makes you think why he aint been approached yet eh?

i personally think it would be a bad career move for him, but you never know!

[Monsta®]

if shearer was made into the newcastle manager, who would keep Alan the robot Hanson and big lugs gary company in the bbc match of the day cupboard?

[Mr Darn]

exactly...

he'd be better off staying as he is, or going in as assistant.

if he messes up, the last 15 years of fame with the toon will be severly tarnished...

he wont be a "god" no more if he messes it all up...

Then again, he could sucseed...
