After weeks of speculation over his survival chances, now that Chris Hughton has parted ways with Newcastle United who will step in to replace him on a full time basis? Peter Beardsley has stepped in to look after the squad in the interm.
As well as the normal suspects that are always linked with vacant manager roles in the Barclays Premier League comes Martin Jol who in what may just be a spectacular coincidence has left his role with Dutch side Ajax by mutual consent, either that or is is after the Aberdeen job!
The move by Mike Ashley and the board at Newcastle has angered many sections of the Toon Army who had believed that in their first season back in the Premier League that Hughton was doing a decent job with the resources that are available to him and under his guidance Andy Carroll has become a force to be reckoned with.
However with only 2 home wins under his belt at St James Park the board may have made a pre-emptive strike before the fans turned on the board.
Newcastle are currently placed 12th in the Premier League; an enviable position for any team let alone one that only gained promotion from the Championship last year but although they recently managed to keep Chelsea to a draw there have been some disappointing results; Sundays 3-1 defeat against West Ham and the crushing 5-1 loss they suffered at the hands of Bolton another.
