With over 2,000 votes in 73% of fans want to see David Moyes as the next manager at Newcastle United.
David Moyes – fired Manchester United manager
David’s stock has fallen since he’s been at Manchester United, but he was simply great at Everton and had the Goodison Park in the top six a total of six times, and he had less money to spend than he will get at Newcastle – if he does become the next Newcastle United manager.
Moyes is used to operating on a tight budget – but it wouldn’t seem too bad at Newcastle, at least not compared to the money he was given at Everton.
And Newcastle fans are keen, make that very keen – let’s make that desperate – to get the club back into the top six.
That would be a good start.
We would assume a number of clubs – like Norwich City as just one example – would be keen to get David on board for next season – so any club who want David Moyes will presumably have to move fast.
And of course we have no idea if Mike Ashley has any interest in signing Moyes – because we haven’t a clue what Mike thinks at any time.
We just don’t hear anything at all from Mike Ashley – so we are always in the dark – so to speak.
Comments welcome.

Comment #161There is a saying in the Bhagvad Gita that when evil becomes all consuming and there is no hope, then God himself takes the form of the human being to save the world.
When will the good times return? :'(

He wanted to buy it out last season but was persuaded by money and bonus.

Comment #164I agree with many of those who have commented here. Why Mpyes? He has many of the same weaknesses as Pardew, including a tendency to talk rubbish after a defeat. His football lacks style. And now he has the look and feel of a loser. It really wouldn’t make sense.

Comment #165I think Moyes is probably damaged goods after what was a pretty unnerving 10 months at Utd. He was flint eyed and hard at Everton, now God knows what his state of mind is. Someone said earlier he was stable, I doubt it.

Comment #166IITianToon – Oppenheimer recited that same verse from the Bhagvad Gita when talking about the fact his work with the very first nuclear bombs could lead to the blowing up of the entire world and he was ashamed to be a part of it. Check the interview if your in to them old dark atmospheric grainy interviews for the 50s/60s. I know I am

Comment #167The suggestion is that the new Man U manager will be given 200 million to rebuild a side that are still reigning champions. This on top of the north of 70 million Moyes spent.
Gives you some idea of just how far off the pace we have fallen under Ashley, who even now doesn’t seem to understand the very club he owns. Far from challenging, he seems he’ll bent on ensuring we never do again.

Comment #168a new manager want’s his team behind him!
our great owner only promotes from within!
so therefore no new manager of any clout ffs!
charnley gets the director job he was a club secretary!
pardew got 1!! coach in carver
beardsley got promoted and moved all over the place!
so anyone thinking that
1.. a new manager will come in
2..he’ll be any good
3.. he’ll get his demands
4..get any kind of tranfer kitty
is massively massively deluded and rotonda seems to take the biscuit on this 1 lol
and btw that list can go on for a hell of a lot more under ashley but you all seem to think it will change!!
plus from an earlier post moyes had fusk all to spend in pretty much his whole tenure
martinez instantly got mega bucks plus got the loans in that was already a very good and drilled top 6 team!
lets see how martinez does next season before you make a proper judgement
plus hasn’t rodgers been very very lucky 2 on form world class strikers
amazing ammount of penalties
lucky with a few youngsters coming through
but most of all! all the other top teams under performing massively 🙂

Comment #169JS
Moyes was going to be handed around 100m, a large kitty that would have rebuilt the squad.
He has never had that kind of spending power. Lets look at some of his purchase history at Everton:
Fellaini , Tim Cahill, Phil Jagielka, Stephen Pienaar, Joleon Lescott, Tim Howard, Phil Neville, Yakubu and Leighton Baines to name a few.
All of these players, with exception to Fellaini, were will within the 10m mark. Each player represented an important cog of that Everton side and some still are now.
Not to mention the youth players he brought through that Everton System.. Rooney, Rodwell, Coleman to name a few.
The difference with Newcastle is this, there is financial stability at the club. He may have constraints but it seems he works best when given those constraints.

Comment #170Martinez got a large kitty because of the sale of Fellaini to Moyes’s United. The other players were generally on loans where the parent clubs paid 50% of their wage, Gareth Barry is the clear example.
Martinez has taken a workmanlike side and turned them into an aggressive attacking side. He has done more than enough to warrant the praise he is receiving.

Comment #171TADS/Rotonda
I ask how are we, in any meaningful sense, still a football club?
How the team is managed and trained seems to be irrelevant to the owner.
The standards set seem to be irrelevant to the owner.
Who is in the team, the football it plays, and whether players are replaced, all seem to be irrelevant to the owner.
Whether we compete for titles and cups seems to be an irrelevance to the owner.
Whether we win or lose, score a single point or even a single goal seems to be an irrelevance to the owner.
Apart from as a figment of the fans imagination, how are we still a football club?

Comment #172I don’t think 100 million is gonna cut it at Man U ST. They appear to need a whole back line, a couple of central mids and atleast one winger, all of Champions league quality. This without champions league football to entice players, so that you’d think means big wages too, and this current poor Man U side I think it is fair to say is quite superior to ours.

Comment #173So nothing new has happened…
If you honestly believe that we will be fighting relegation nxt season and will be in bottom 3 by year end tthen theres no need to worry abt Pardew. He will surely be gone by Christmas or perhaps a little before.
Keep yr Pardew Timer at 20games and start counting down.
He wont last more than that..

Comment #174Looks like none of the 2008 posters(visitors/commentors) of this blog still remain on it to comment..
Next seasons dross under Pardew could be a tipping point for many on here..

Comment #175would be interesting if the poll had said “who should be our manager next season… Pardew, Moyes, Anyone but Pardew”
Think anyone but Pardew would probably be the landslide vote. Man’s a f’ing tool.

As I said to you a few weeks back, we aren’t a football club, certainly not Newcastle United, but now Newcastle Direct, the purpose of NDFC is to do little more but tread water in the most televised league in club football acting as a giant billboard for our only real ambition, to help Sports Direct go from strength to strength

Comment #179We could do a lot worse than going in for caulker and Curtis Davis, neither are world beaters granted but better than what we have and wouldn’t cost the world,
They’re both English which I still feel this team is lacking in English men, look how Liverpool have gone on with plenty of English men, Chelsea always try and have a spine of Englishman ,
