He's got the job according to BBC. Will be interesting to see how they do now until the end of the season.

yeh Rafa has guts, I will be a bit surprised if he goes to the Toon but I hope he does well where ever he goes, until he plays us that is  He wants to manage here and be nearer his family, it will be good to see him in the dug out at Anfield again too. A True Legend! X Yes I agree Lain, he made a significant contribution to us, and that should never forgotten. I was never a big fan of his style of play, but I would never deny or diminish his contribution to us. Anyway if he does take on the task of keeping what looks like a doomed side up, I’m with you in wishing him the best, hope he succeeds. yes He did do some really good things for our club however he also did some very bad stuff especially towards the end, wish him well at Newcastle and because he's a decent enough manager it will make the premier league more competitive especially with the other new managers coming next season. I just wish he would sell his home on the Wirral and move away from here...

He’s also a decent human being and as such entitled to respect with courtesy and is entitled to live with his family wherever he chooses.

Good luck to him, I'm still surprised he took the job. I believe he's got a clause in there that lets him leave if they fail to stay up.
Tough first game against Leicester!

I hope he keeps them up. It's a real coup for them. This is a man who's won La Liga, the champions league, the FA cup, the Europa league, and the copa Italia. He's managed Madrid, LFC, Napoli, Inter, LFC, Chelsea, and Valencia.
Taking over a side like Newcastle in the relegation zone is a huge step down for a manager with his CV.

I've sort of become a Newcastle fan now.

I read a good article by Jenas saying he was a great coach but couldn't translate that to management. I wanted him to do well at Newcastle but ashley must be desperate to keep them up with the $ next season. He's actually spent money this year!
Very conflicted as I've disliked Newcastle fans since they wanted Bobby out for finishing something like 6th...
I hope he goes there and keeps them up. I confess to loving the guy. He's in a no-lose situation really. Game in hand, 1 point from safety and he'll tighten them up and I think keep them up. Hopefully instead of Sunderland..
He clearly loves the Premiership and sees an opportunity in Newcastle. Suprised given Ashleys lack of spending though and the farce it's been there.
Is that Maclaren? Yeah McClaren. Listed his coaching roles vs management. Said he didn't have that 'distance' other top managers had and was 'one of the lads' so great at being the go-to guy with a stand-off manager, but didn't quite have the fear when given the top job. Roy Evans springs to mind. I was hoping Newcastle would go down but I guess they've become my 2nd team now.
