I'd be more than happy to just get shot of sherwood and his crew and let KMac and Sid take charge for now. Cannot be any worse surely.

Kevin Macdonald put out a side that kept Newcastle down to six, so he's a good call.
He also beat West Ham 3-0
His stint at Swindon didn't go well, I don't think he ever really wanted to actually manage. Milner played his last game for us that day I think. He played really well too.

Please, please quit with this KMac nonsense. He isnt a manager and neither is Sid

Mac should've been given a bit longer in 2010/11 until a more suitable candidate than Houllier came up e.g. someone not in semi retirement drawing a pension from French football association.

I happened to think we were about to give him the job for that season anyway until Newcastle 6-0 happened which shocked the board and caused a rethink.

That said our side back then was miles better than now so doubt he'd pick up too many points.

If we sack Sherwood we need to get someone in a.s.a.p. We can't afford to throw points away, we've done that enough already this season.

If we went outside for a manager in the football league I like the guy at Boro, he seems to have done a good job there. Can't believe the negativity towards Moyes though, all things considered. He would not be an exciting appointment for sure, but winning some games and not being turned over before a ball is kicked each week would be refreshing.

I guess after the last 5 years something a bit boring and stable is quite appealing.

I don't think it was supposed to be. There are certain individuals suited to certain clubs. He has what we need and I think would get us to mid table this season. Next season potentially far greater things!

Carver as a replacement for Robson as coach maybe. But as Manager? Jeez, seriously? No thanks.

Carver? I'd rather have a 'dream' team of Pulis and Barry Fry.

With Egil Olsen as number 3. I mean seriously, Carver is the one man that can make a Sherwood sound bite look genuinely normal!

Very interesting that the press officer ended the questions as soon as one was asked about the summer transfers.

Don't panic, I was only kidding. There aren't many worse options at the moment but he would be it!

I want somebody that is experienced and is based in one of the top leagues.

It can't be that bloody difficult considering the amount of money in our league now surely!

I think the main objection to Moyes is not that he is stable and boring but the opposite. he seems the same kind of high risk  manager we have gone through before.

His managerial results the past few years have been Villaesque. Right now his team is above the relegation zone on goal difference.

I think if he was someone who had been solid and doing well his entire career there would be a different tone. But as of today trading Sherwood for Moyes seems like a minor upgrade at best. he did fantastic at Everton (with wobbles) but has been pretty damn poor since.

Admittedly I refuse to watch ManU and I have seen maybe one RS game since he took over so I cant comment on how they are playing but certainly the results are not good.
