so why do people think we couldnt attract top managers

[pboromag]

"or is he just the mercenary we think he is" speak for yourself you ****wit, i would love to know who your choice of manager to replace rafa is,go on then .........

there are loads
fat sam i wanted
he hasnt doen a bad job
bearing in mind the trouble rafa has put us in means we need to look at the next manager differently

we will need a manager with expreiance of turning things around

mind you carver did a better job
so lets see if we can prze him away
infact
there are 91 managers currently doing a better job than rafa

he is the worst manager in the last 9 games in the whole of the league

he is our worst premier manager

so any one really

They did look at us and another club i believe - about 7 years ago but hte prices of English clubs they didn't like.

Or something like that, i remember them being linked anyway.

Let's be totally honest. 99.9% of all managers are looking after number 1, first and foremost. Possibly 100% but I'll leave the margin.
Newcastle United can attract any manager that isn't already at a massive club and/or isn't super well paid by a club.

When you offer wages of 5 million a year you're going to get the Lions share of the managerial picks and all of those managers will stand on a pedestal and tell the fans how it was an easy choice to come to the club because it's got amazing fans and stadium and seeped in tradition and history, etc etc etc etc.

They will all tell you their plans after asking for patience and caution and then they will get on with doing their best with what they have but not really giving too much of a toss if it all doesn't go to plan because they know that a sacking is a massive wage hand shake before they jump into the next managerial seat.

That's the reality of managers and it's only natural.

Football management is one of the few jobs you can constantly fail at and then be given the same job on more money a few months down the line

Wish my line of work was like that
