As a Canadian, this would be great on more than one level. I think our 11 best chucked in at Anfield would see them quickly end up in the champo, but with good coaching and a couple of Americans sprinkled there, they could stay up and be a consistent mid-table side. Play together all season like the old Red Army teams and start making World Cups.
Coloccini 'set for Newcastle job'
- Thread starter Santos J
- Start date
Nobody mentioning Gary Neville, but it would make sense some sense and if he did brilliantly for a couple of seasons could be in for a shout at the England job post-Hodgson or even United post-Van Gaal.
Carragher and Neville were like school boys trying not to laugh in front of the head teacher. I couldn't hold it in myself.
Amazing hope it happens no wonder Pardew wants out and better than being sacked. What about Ameobi like?

Of the class of 92, I see Gary Neville most likely to make it as a manager. He just seems happy doing his tv stuff I reckon and his England coaching.
I don't know about that, he thought that us moving away from the 442 was "breaking from tradition" also he was one of the few to defend moyes to the end and even suggested that he "deserved more time" in spite of the overwhelming evidence that everything was going to shit.
I guess he can go coach some other team... Just not us.
He's a traditionalist when it comes to Manchester United that's for sure, and everything he thinks they stand for, but at another club, I'm sure he'd be more open minded about systems and playing styles. He talks a good game on Monday night football from what I've seen, but being a manager is easier said than done.
Ashley is paying Ally McCoist to sit around and do nothing after he resigned 
Nothing surprises me.

What about Monk for Swansea?
Give it to Giggsy til the end of the season
Monk hasn't finished his coaching qualifications last year but he had already enough to get the job (like Shearer for Newcastle or Giggs for us)
And Monk was one of the coaches of Swansea's U18 team
Coloccini has not any coaching qualifications (according to Chronicle's Sports Writer Lee Ryder)
Even Rooney, Carrick or Fletcher have coaching qualifications......i don't know if they would have enough to be the coach of a club.....but they have more than Coloccini
When I seen thread title, I thought this was another "Phillip Lahm is a black man" threadHaha Colocinni manager just seems hilarious for some reason
If this is true it will not end well.
Wonder if Obertan is in with a shout of getting the job.

Club captain Fabricio Coloccini is not in the running to become the next manager of Newcastle, Sky sources understand.
The Magpies captain had emerged as the surprise favourite for the job should Alan Pardew, as expected, leave St James’ Park to take over at Crystal Palace.
But Coloccini is not believed to be in contention for the manager’s job at Newcastle, with caretaker-boss John Carver and Steve Stone expected to be in charge of the team for the visit of Burnley on New Year’s Day.
Former Tottenham manager Tim Sherwood and Hull boss Steve Bruce have also been linked with the role.

I'm sure Giggs was one of the only players to gain his Pro Licence while still playing.
If Coloccini has no qualifications, it could be 2-3 years before he has got the B licence, A licence and Pro Licence, although the Premier League seem incredibly willing to bend their own rule on the licences for whoever.
Pardew looks to be leaving for Palace, he's not getting sacked.Bizarre and Carragher
If Pardew loses his job after beating Everton, I don't know what it says about Mr. Shiney Shoes Martinez really.
I'm more surprised that Newcastle (aka best fans in the universe) don't seem to have any forums with more than about 10 people.
That seems to be it to me.
Seriously though, if you were asked to manage Newcastle, would you want to work under Ashley? I definitely wouldn't!
Their fingers are too fat to type on a regular keyboard.
How many managers has he been through so far?
Pardews been there a while, can't be that many.
This one is busier than the others suggested. More militantly anti-Ashley, too:

8 I think. (including caretakers)
8!!!! and he has owned Newcastle for about 7 or 8 seasons now right? What a good awful record that is.
It's only 6 really - Allardyce, Keegan, Kinnear, Shearer, Hughton, Pardew.
Looking at Wiki - Big Sam, followed by Nigel Pearson as caretaker, Keegan, Pearson again as caretaker, Kinnear, Shearer, Hughton and Pardew.
What?
Still 6 in the 7 or 8 years he has owned the club doesn't seem a good record.
Has there ever been a manager/owner scenario? Maybe Ashley can forge some coaching badges. That's what I took the Coloccini rumors to be, a puppet.
The 8 yr contract for Pardew suggests Ashley wants a bit more stability these days. His first few years here were beyond a joke though. Kinnear ffs.
I know many have asked if there will be a lot of managers prepared to work under the constraints Ashley has in place, and I do have some sympathy with Pardew in this respect. But on the other hand this is an owner who is prepared to place a huge amount of trust in a manager and give them more job security than just about anyone else. I also don't think European managers will care much about Carr essentially being Director of Football as plenty of European clubs are also structured that way.
Think Niall Quinn did something like this at Sunderland? It lasted about 3 games, 0 wins. Then he brought Keane in?
Chester City were bought by an American chap who appointed himself manager and helped get them relegated out of the football league.
I'm pretty sure they vanished out of the existence actually.
Michael Knighton, Carlisle. Ex United board and not that far off owning us!
Yeah I saw Toonfan's analysis of the structure of Newcastle's scouting system on another thread. He seemed to say that Pardew was just a coach and had next to no involvement with transfers. If that's true, than it seems likely that Ashley wanted players to be bought for their resale value (which a scout would be best placed to identify) without any consideration for whether or not they would help the team (which a manager could identify). That would suggest he doesn't give a damn how Newcastle actually do on the pitch.
Then I see Coloccini is the favourite. It's like Ashley just went "Feck it, I don't want to interview anyone." *Sees Coloccini walking down the hall* "Make that lad manager."
Though then again, that assumes Ashley is actually at Newcastle...
This will all end in tears for Newcastle I think. The days of Pardew managing them may be a lot better than what they'll put up with for the next few years.
