Mentioned on 2 separate shows this morning.

Pardew will leave following Kinnears appointment with Poyet going in as first team manager/coach.

Not sure if they have put Poyets name forward following Poyets comments on last nights Match of the Day about his situation being sorted this week.

Too big a job for Uncle Gus. Fans will expect a lot. Gus won't deliver. It'll all end in tears.

If Poyet, as reported, "has endured a fractious relationship with chief executive Paul Barber over the last 12 months", then good luck working with Joe Kinnear as your Director of Football and with him having "final say" over transfers. I mean it; good luck.

Yeah I can really see that one happening. Somebody above Poyet at the club telling him which players he will have?

Good grief.

Probably because he once turned down a move to Newcastle when he was Ramos' assistant at Spurs. Tony Jimenez, then an advisor to Mike Ashley, was a friend of Poyet's at Chelsea. And of course his old mate Dennis Wise was such a success at St James' park ...

Too big a job for Gus when Alan Pardew has the manager for the last 3 years? It's ok that you don't want Gus here anymore, but now you are just being petty.

I thought this ages ago - he's had personally ties with Dennis Wise for years and he's part of the Cockney mob that rule St James' - I could well see Mike Ashley thinking we get a lot of cheap players in from Europe and south america, why not bring in a manager who might be better suited than Pardew to manage these players and their variety of egos - something happened last year with communication between the French players and Pardew, their Argentinians were also unsettled, who better than a South American manager to come in to help sort that - this could well happen and in fairness, the Geordies are easily one of the top 8 clubs in England to manage and a huge step up.

I have always thought if I were a chairman of a Club with money to spend I would break the bank to get Gus. He is basically honest, plays a great style of football, high profile players want to play for him, he increases the exposure of the Club, happy supporters. I don't know whether anything will come out in the next few days to change that - but Ashley must give him consideration.

It would be good for Gus to be there with Kinnear, who's also made the transition from Brighton to the north east. :)

If the Geordies tin Pardew, it'll be some payout. He signed a six year contract last year.

From what I recall if he gets fired he only gets a one year pay out. The contract itself was more for show, more just like a rolling one year contract that gets renewed.
