So, which Nth East manager is going to get the bullet first ?

[dorgie]

Tough one to call, the three of them are in a race to the bottom

[John am Rhein]

It won't be Keane, fo sure.

 

Probably Southgate, although Allardyce will be in the sh*t if they carry on like today.

[TheLa]

Sunderland won't sack Keane.

[Falconhoof]

I'm hoping its Keane first. I'll enjoy that immensely when the day comes.

[CaptainXabi]

Has to be Allardyce. The expectations at Sunderland aren't nearly as high as at Newcastle (God knows why) and Southgate is probably too "likeable".

[Rich Gobey]

Southgate has a good chairman who has given all his managers time, i'd even think he's retain Southgate if they got relegated. Sunderland will understand that Keane doesn't have a great deal to work with.

 

Newcastle, however, might change their chairman before they got rid of Fat head, I'd imagine the new chairman would f.uck him off pretty rapid though.

Don't think Keane is under any pressure at all really apart from the obvious one of trying to keep them up.

 

The other two are already on shaky ground though. Fat Sam more than Southgate.

[dorgie]

The financial impact of going down could lead to panic in the boardroom though.

Even if they went down they'd keep Keane IMO.

And Quinn continues being such an odious cvnt.

Doubt it, they've been promoted and relagated enough not to panic, besides they've not really broke the bank to stay up

[Murphman]

Niall Quinn is one of the few gentlemen in this game, I'm not having that.

 

It'll be Southgate, McLaren will probably take over at Boro again.

good call.

I think you'll find it's all a front and that he regularly sells individual cigarettes to children at the school gate.

Southgate. He's woeful.

Brilliant just desserts for those of 'em booing Carson today.

[Herbie von Smalls]

did i hear that sunderland have a chairman other than quinn? has there been movement there board-wise or did i get the wrong end of the stick. haven't heard anything to that effect.

[Nebraska Red]

Southgate has to go first, if only for the terrible outfits he wears to the match.

 

the fact that he is a clueless manager should also factor in to the decision to fire him.

 

Allardyce getting the boot would be hilarious, the phlegm would be flowing and he would threaten to eat the board, then blame all the big clubs for taking the best players.

Fairly sure it's still Quinn, Herb.

That's a great shout. I think Gibson might pull him in as a Director Of Football

 

 

 

I think Quinn is on record as saying he'd stand down if Keane had to be sacked, as he'd have failed too.

 

Allardyce is safe as long as they stay mid table and out of relegation trouble I think. Too expensive to shift with nothing immediate to panic about and Shearer eyeing England. Waiting game if Ashley's got some sense, hang and see who might be available end of the season if he aint pulled it around.

I don't think Gibson will have McClaren back - he was hugely unpopular with a large section of the Boro fans for his negative tactics, but Southgate may go at some point this season...Jewell might fancy that one.

 

Keane is safe.

 

Allardyce - you never know with Newcastle. A few more days like today with that reaction, and he'll be dead meat. Ashley may then try and splash out on a Capello. Lippi or Mourinho - but will end up with an Advocaat, a le Guen or a McLeish.

Gibson's an odd man though, loyal to fault, not necessarily the best foot forward at a football club!

 

 

Remember the stunt he pulled with Robson and El Tel

[Owen1978]

Never understood why they gave Southgate the managers job of a prem club anyway? Was an average player with no managerial experince, same thing gripes me fo the england managers job as some ppl are saying shearer should get the assistant job? why? what does he bring to the job? his past experiences? - thats it? so no tactical knowledge, no man motivational skills? its ridiculous!

[muleskinner]

Blackburn away and Arsenal next up for Newcastle, another heavy defeat at home could be the one for Allardyce hopefully.
