Vieira to Newcastle.....?

[Leewonpen]

A loss to us, a logical step for him?
Personally I would have liked to see him developed as a future Head coach by working alongside MP....Newcastle is a basket case at the moment, why go there?

[goat]

he must be mental to go there

[bry the guy]

Has he gone?

[Ludo]

If he has any ambition to be our first team manager then it's only logical that he gets as much experience as possible elsewhere.

Newcastle is probably as good a place to start as anywhere. He'll start with a fairly blank canvas and it may even be fit us if he takes a few of our EDS on loan.

[Swiss]

It does make sense for him to get propper experience, but then, we might as well just employ him anyway and give him all the help we can!

Does anyone watch the team he manages for us? Does he seem to be doing all the right things?


Looks as though Toon have dumped the idea if the red tops are to be trusted...

This has to be the daftest football story I've heard in a fair while.

BBC Sport - French World Cup winner Patrick Vieira isn't going to become the new Head Coach at Newcastle with the Man City coach 'out of the running' leaving Steve McClaren as the favourite.

Why Aye in a Franco/Dutch accent will be fun if that happens. God I'd hate to be a Newcastle fan right now

[Rowley Birkin QC]

Daft on who's behalf? Pat or Toon?

The media's.

Total bollocks this story.

[goat]
