The next Premier League casualty - a good fit for a departing manager?

"@The_Shepherd01: Poyet to take over #Newcastle in the next few days. #Toon #NUFC #Magpies"

Wor Gus.

 

[Beach Hut]

Gus to Stoke makes sense as they want a change of style

 

[Justice]

Poyet to NUFC the new rumour

 

[Durlston]

Poyet v Di Canio in the Tyne/Wear derby. That'll be entertaining on the touchline!

 

[shaunslats]

You might find your self in the minority

Oh well, stick to my view that at the moment he is a capable manager

 

[beorhthelm]

Pardew sacked - announcement in next 48hrs...

48hrs? so just another rumour. doesnt he have a ridiculously long contract

 

[catfish]

Where are the Pardew rumours emanating from?

What's the odds we'd get Newcastle AGAIN in the cup if this happened

Poyets touch line antics are usually him sitting down arms folded sulking

 

[Baldseagull]

Far too Palace. No to Chris Coleman and Dougie Freedman too.

Newcastle...

Sorry if this has appeared elsewhere, but noticed from a quick google search on the subject that Gus was supposedly courted by Mike Ashley and Newcastle when Keegan left, while he was still at Spurs (at least according to the Sun http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/sport/football/1664840/Newcastle-move-in-for-Gus-Poyet.html, and enough for him to bother to deny http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/football/teams/newcastle-united/2710298/Tottenhams-Gus-Poyet-dismisses-Newcastle-rumours-Football.html).

Admittedly, this was when Dennis Wise was still in post at NUFC, so it was seen as a logical step to recreate the Wise/Poyet partnership. It's fair to say the "oft-dismissed munchkin" (copyright Nick Hancock) isn't exactly the most popular figure on Tyneside, so by extension Poyet may not be either - but it was Ashley who brought Wise in (above Keegan's head, ultimately leading to his departure) so it would make sense that he might be a Gus admirer too. Ashley is a big Spurs fan as well, so you'd imagine he'd have seen a fair bit of Gus as a player.

I should point out that I'm anything but ITK - this is total speculation like everything else that's been said on the subject. But it seemed vaguely interesting, as I'd forgotten about the original story.

Surely the Toon and Rafa is a better fit? Then again if you were going to Fulham why sell your house in Orpington?

 

[catfish]

Newcastle...

Thank you.

 

[marshy68]

So vacancies at Stoke, Everton and Newcastle. Likely that Gus will be wanted at one? Do a deal, we can get our new man and we can all move on.

this with bells on

 

[Pavilionaire]

RDM to Stoke, Martinez to Everton, Rafa to Toon = Long summer

 

[Charlies Shinpad]

Don't want that smug piece of Shite called Pardew down here thanks !!!

 

[mune ni kamome]

Gus must have something "arranged" if the house sale is anything to go by. Could well be Newcastle as that would definitely involve a move. Pardew definitely has ability whatever you think of him.

This is what I hope! You talk a lot of sense
