What they're saying

"
Matthew: Jaissle seems a very competent, up and coming manager but we need a proven Premier League manager who can continue what Eddie was doing. The board need to be speaking to Mauricio Pochettino. Matt: As a long-time Newcastle fan back to the Keegan-era (may he rest in peace), please can we have one summer where my nerves are not completely shredded by transfer or managerial drama please?
