Dean Wilkins.......

[georgeweahscousin]

.......any chance he will be off to the North East?

[Colinjb]

Good question..... I doubt it though. Pardew really needs a strong assistant manager if he is to have any chance, would the players repect Wilkins?

[itchen_dan]

Apparently that Chris Hughton is supposed to be a decent assistant

[jam]

What's Stewart Henderson up to nowadays?

[Dazza82]

Wally downes is at West ham now so he wont

Stuart Murdoch could well be on his way there

Dean Wilkins is a no, maybe Ray though

[Ivan Katalinic's 'tache]

Pardew needs to get himself a Geordie legend to get the fans onside. I'd promote Beardsley to assistant although no idea if he'd be any good at the job!

[EBS1980]

Stuart Murdoch is GK coach at Gillingham now.

[ART]

Getting a Geordie legend would only end up with Pardew being constantly underminded and his job at risk. Beardsley doesn't seem that type but a good clear out is the one guarantee he'd had a good chance at succeeding. It's always possible to unite the fan base that Hughton could be rehired in an alternative role.

He wants Ray Lewington.

[richardc]

I doubt it - he never really got on with Pardew - Pardew never let him get on with anything in training always watching over he shoulder and interferring - he much prefers it with Adkins as he just lets him get on with things and doesnt interfere - plus his family settled in Hove

I would have thought that Tony Adams was a safer bet to really cheer up the Toon Army..

 

 

[70's Mike]

expect a bid for Lallana in the transfer window

[for_heaven's_Saint]

expect a bid for Lallana in the transfer window

 

And expect it to be turned down.

By crackey, Otters, you're on to something there. Just look at it - Tony Adams and Toon Army are practically anagrams. Clearly, this is meant to be. They'll be scrannin' doon on their grilled whippets with hearts full of joy in Byker the neet, make no mistake. And it's only a matter time before the roars for 'wor Toony' ring out loud all round St James' Park.

Gazza's looking for a job - as long as he can get there by bus

[Wildgoose]

And expect it to be turned down.

 

Haha! Lol ;-)

 

Too right!

[Mowgli]

Doubt it. If there was any loyalty there would not Wilkins have stepped down at the same time as Pardew?

It's cruel but I'd love it if they did that
