Just forget you and I are Rangers daft. As an ambitious young manager your first year has been pretty good by any measure, taken a struggling no confidence team to one that had a real chance and imo only failed because of lack of consistency. You get the offer of Manager of Derby, not an easy gig tough league to get out of, on big money, money ain't your motivation, success is, so you turn it down. Next you get the offer of manager at Newcastle, top league in the world with fans near as crazy as ours. Has got to be very tempting, hope our gaffer is a better man than me cause I'd be tempted. Would like to think I'd still say no.

Really? Tempted by newcastle? Rafa couldn't wait to get out because he wasn't backed financially. Newcastle, unless sold to a new owner, will be a bottom half club fighting relegation. Sorry but anyone who has an ounce of ambition would avoid that club like the plague. Shame because Newcastle is a great club that is rotten to the core with sports direct written all over it. I know there was talk of the club being sold and I think I read that a bid had been tabled. Good luck to newcastle fans.

I agree with coldo here. Newcastle utd are and always have been my favourite english club. I've been at st. james' park, on a good few occasions and the toon fans were brilliant with us. They are a fantastic football club, but with mike ashley as owner, they're going absolutely nowhere! I still think there will be a lot of interest in the manager's job, but candidates will think twice, with ashley still at the helm. Whereas if ashley sold the club the interest would be through the roof. That fat cockney is ruining a terrific football club, with the 2nd best supporters in the world. Its a terrible shame what ashley has done to newcastle utd and the geordie supporters. They have a very loyal support, who always pack out st. james' park and at away games.

I’m betting won’t touch with a barge pole Chris Waddell and Alan shearer have even said anybody with any sense won’t come near Newcastle with Ashley still involved so no danger he will go there.

He has also had years to put in 'dodgy deals' all over the place, god help them.

Correct Coldo, Ashley has the club were he wants them and it’s rotten to the core!

a bookmaker has already paid out on Newcastle being relegated.
