I think if Freddy gets this one wrong, he could be out on his arse.

The fans didnt want Souness but cant agree on who they do want. If he appoints someone before the summer it will be because he is feeling pressured. Ideally, they would wait til the summer and get the best man for the job.

There could be an awful lot of decent jobs up for grabs in the summer; England, Man U, Rangers, Portugal, Real Madrid to name but a few - Newcastle comes way down the pile.

I wouldnt employ Glenn Hoddle as a Lolly Pop Man, let alone a football manager - he's shite. But people seem to like him. I reckon newcastle will be too snobbish to pick someone such as Paul Jewell/Mike Newell and will end up with some auld shite that'll last 6 months.
