Gerrard to Newcastle?

If they're in genuine relegation trouble come January they have the money to buy top players to keep them safe. 

Some mercenaries might keep them up but the only way to build is to buy players who buy into the project. Company and Aguerro were those players for Man City, you need to find the strong leader and the world class goal scorer as a point to start from.

Newcastle didn't sell anything to the devil !

 

Mike Ashley sold THEM to the devil

 

They seem to be pretty f.cking happy about it.......👍

Just my opinion. I think they’ll struggle to win the Premiership the same

way PSG and City have struggled to win the Champions League. Just my thoughts on the matter. Newcastle could genuinely still get relegated which would set the project back even further. They don’t have a single ‘top 4’ player, an incredible amount of work to be undertaken. 

Keeping them in the EPL is priority.

 

The power of money will soon attract the players and coaches. Or should that be cockroaches

I just hope they are not eyeing up Craig Gordon and Boycie! 

[buzzbomb1958]

I think the jambos could help in this situation ,go out and give them a doing today and the wheels will come off the sevco train,they have been lucky in some games this season scraping 1-0 results here and there if Hearts beat them today I think slippy will realise that with no money to spend he can’t take sevco any further

Can we really see the guys in Riyadh surveying the managerial market and saying: "I know what, what we really need is the guy who had a  comparatively huge budget and won fewer trophies than St Johnstone"?

 

They'll get Conte. Proven track record and currently a free agent. On his current record, Gerrard would get an English Championship job.

With Newcastle sitting in a pretty dodgy position in the league, they may be looking for one of the usual suspects to come in until the end of the season to keep them up rather than going for a Conte or the likes.

 

Allardyce etc must be in contention.

I think Conte has distanced himself from the job. He could well end up at Man U IMO.

 

I agree about Gerrard. It's a classic case of people somehow assuming he's a great manager because he was a top player. He's won one out of 9 available trophies during his time so far in Scotland and much as Rangers were impressive last season, Celtic were a shambles. Strangely enough, Callum Davidson is not being linked with the Newcastle job.

Conte to Man Utd seems inevitable the way things are going under Ole

Fat Sam has been there befire and hated by the fans.

Sentiments are right though, the best man probably.

Bruce would keep them imo, had no money this season, getting a few in in January will help.

Precarious position up to then.

[fabienleclerq]

Newcastle aren't getting a top manager in right away imo. 

 

They need a good one to get them away from relegation and one that is able to work with players a rung under the top ones. Couple of years to build a better team then they will go for a top gaffer. I think Gerrard is actually a good fit, big enough name to attract players and potential to be a top boss, certainly seems good enough to cope with a mid table epl team. 

[jr ewing]

Beggars can't be choosers. A step closer to the Liverpool job too. 

[Mikey1874]

Any new manager has to agree to work in the Championship. 

 

Unless they are happy with a stop gap.

Eddie Howe could be a good shout. Did incredible with Bournemouth despite the obvious limitations of the club.

 

I don't think you'll immediately see a big name manager there. I think they need someone to begin the project, and the likes of Conte won't be keen to stake their reputations with a huge rebuilding job required. 

 

What Newcastle need are the best of the rest type players to get them on track, they're not going to immediately be in for huge names. They've also got a hell of a lot of dead wood to shift.

There was an old saying to not believe everything you read in the papers but with so many media outlets now it really is a goldfish bowl as to see who can spout the most made up stories.

 

SKY can get the blame for that as well - they report on speculation as if it is a fact as their sources told them so. They think they are first with the news as well !

 

As we told you first here on SKY ....... tossers !

They'll probably give Allardyce the job of trying to keep them up.   That should bring the geordies back down to earth.

Did a good job keeping West Brom up

 

Another legend in his own lunch time 

[Cruyff]

Eddie Howe would be the wrong appointment for a side battling relegation. He can get teams playing football that is pretty on the eye but his teams cannot defend and have no backbone, that's why he was relegated with Bournemouth. 

[Auldbenches]

He'll probably get a few million for 6 months work.   Apart from.Bolton and keeping a couple of clubs up, what has he really achieved in the game? 

It would be funny to see the geordies if he does get the job as it would feel like another Ashley appointment.

Reminds me of the days of Gerry McNee on Scotsport Extra Time and his exclusives. Basically just repeating verbatim the press releases he was given by Ibrox and Parkhead stooges.

 

Absolutely cringeworthy stuff.

I forgot he had been there before.  That's the fans get out clause.  They be stupid taking a risk if going down appointing Howe or Gerrard.   It would be brilliantly funny if they had to spend a frustrating season in the championship with all that money...

Also apparently Big Sam was delighted to get sacked by Newcastle as his missus hated living in the area. Heard or read recently (memory going - think it was on a podcast but not sure) directly from the lino who gave the dodgy decision that lead to the sacking - the next time he officiated at one of Allardyce's games he was expecting a roasting but Allardyce came over and gave him a big hug, explaining the above about his missus, and also said that his compo had paid for a new villa in Marbella which he had called " St. James' "!!!

Your memory is better than you think

 

Sam Allardyce has named his sumptuous new Costa Blanca villa "Casa St James," because he bought it with his £4 million pay off from being sacked as Newcastle boss.

Best job in the world being a football manager who wins absolute nothing but who can answer the call in a crisis.

 

Clubs fall for these charlatans like Fat Sam all the time and inevitably have to pay him off with a hefty sum.

I have a soft spot for Sam.

I think last season with West Brom was his first failure.

I like those stories above about his pay off and getting a villa in Marbella. 

 

He did give them Kevin Nolan though, who was loved.

 

Loved that he got the England job, got pissed and scammed by the Sun.

One game in charge and won.

 

Made a lot of money, probably majority undeclared.👀

He got money off Steve Kean after he said Sam got sacked at Blackburn for being a crook !

 

I certainly wouldn't buy a car from him.

TRFC’s financial woes aren’t something you’ve likely to read/hear about in the Scottish media and Gerrard is clearly being “off message” by highlighting same.

Is that an indication he wants to leave Ibrox? Perhaps. Maybe he does see the walls closing in?

At least he’ll be comforted in knowing the match officials will be doing all they can to ensure a Champions League financial rescue package is forthcoming…

You can’t just jump straight to the top, Need to build the club, get to mid table consitently, then top 7 once there can look for better manager and players ..
