Aye swoops - from the ones I listed before, how many do you reckon would actually want the job?

Any manager with a decent reputation would be mad to go for this job. In the summer there will be jobs galore up for grabs. Newcastle rate about 6th in England for me. Assuming that there are a similar number of decent clubs in Italy, Spain, Germany a couple in France, Holland, Portugal and also the International jobs (plus old firm too) - I would honestly rate Newcastle around about the 40th best job in world football.

With 40 better jobs to pick from, only someone mad would pick Newcastle. Someone with limited ability and ambition. This isnt having a dig you understand, its my attempt at being rational.

I think unless they have something up their sleeve, they are looking at a hum-drum Premiership also ran.
