[DJ NOBO]

He's the new manager at St James'

 

[clapham_gull]

confirmed by Talksport

 

[chips and gravy]

Didn't see that one coming!

Thats the latest from the BBC website

 

[Josky]

Unexpected to say the least, but hardly the manager to take them where they want to go

Is Newcastle really that much of a poisoned chalice?

 

[Seagull over NZ]

Don't rate Souness as a manager at all. He just grumbles at people. He is also a walker.

 

[JJ McClure]

Strange choice, hardly done wonders at any of his previous clubs other than Rangers.

 

[Marc]

Done nothing with Blackburn, has had heart trouble...dont think the Toon Army will like this one much

 

[(was)DBS]

Well he won't take any crap from the players just ask Cole and Yorke, maybe thats what they need up there at the moment.

 

[Marc]

"Disaster!", "NOOOOOOOOOOOOO", "Tash wearing TWAT!"

are some of the words from this messageboard:

I think they LOVE him

 

[Soton Seagull]

That's incredible. Is he really beter than Robson?

 

[Pavilionaire]

The manager most likely to fall out with his players joins the team most likely to fall out with the manager. Should be interesting...

If I was a Newcastle supporter I'd have wanted Bruce, and I'd be gutted with the Souness appointment.

 

[saafend_seagull]

i dont think they will be that happy with that. blackburn could now be 1 of the favs for the drop.

 

[saafend_seagull]

newcaslte V blackburn on sat

 

[beorhthelm]

wasnt it Souness that oversaw the demise of Liverpool. Bet the toons are well chuffed.

 

[Scotty Mac]

could've been worse - could've been venables

 

[CHAPPERS]

They should've gone for Keegan again i reckon, him and Shearer.

 

[GUNTER]

Bolt out of the blue that one. Nobody picked up on that. Presumably discipline is a problem within the club.

 

[West Hoathly Seagull]

Hands off Mark McGhee

 

[mejonaNO12 aka riskit]

shearer will now become manager of blackburn with chris sutton
