don't believe rednapp was ever offered the job though he sorted himself a nice £1m pay rise on the back of it.

We've got the makings of a decent side already. Look out for Charles N'zogbia, one of the best young players we've had for years.

I can see Charles Nzog playing on the left wing with Milner far right, owen and a bigger guy up front. not fatty veruka though. butt and some dancing ponce in centre mid. who cares about the back four? Not KK.

I very much reckon Rednob was first choice, whether or not he was formally offered it. With ref to the FA's backtracking of the Scolari 'approach', then settling for the apathy-inspiring McClaren. 

maybe a little churlish for me to suggest that he's just gone for the money

but when you leave a managers job at another club to effectively just become a 'bit part' at another what else are we (or I) meant to think ?

to be honest I'm starting to get the impression that the Newcastle chairman is lobbing his money willy-nilly in any direction at whoever he or the club thinks will get them back to the big time  .....

....... Den Wise wouldn't have been the 1st name on a list I'd have thought but you never know I guess
