I actually think he may end up as the barcodes boss. His long time second in charge is the caretaker at St James' now and said on Saturday that he'd been apparently assured he'd be staying at the club post the new appointment.
To me this smacks of assurances from the potential new manager as who else could possibly offer him this job security post the appointment? Martinez for Newcastle sounds a possible?
For Spurs I'd love the hapless former Newcastle fan ... Sorry...manager John Carver to make his comeback - I reckon a 5 million to 1 shot but wouldn't that be brilliant. Acted every bit as though he was just a fan dragged from the crowd and put in the Newcastle hot seat, laughable really he was just so incompetent. Had no more clue than the average Geordie fan on the 'terraces' (i know it's all seater).
All but actually cried his eyes out after every game in his post match interviews too - really was just like a die hard fan in charge and was absolutely useless. My personal favourite Newcastle manager.
Matrtinez would be a wonderful appointment for them, as he`d have them relegated by the New Year and his appointment would provide hours of fun with @davek, as he desperately backed himself into the worlds biggest corner, trying to find excuses for him lol
