Depending on manner of defeat....I would view it as a great opportunity to bring in a new manager.

So that will be ....... over to you Sam 

McClaren is toast......billionaire owner I imagine is not going to be impressed with constant failure to rule out Newcastle. Newcastle cleverly never even effectively appointed a manager so rumours continued! I think McClaren will be out, possibly with no job to go to....but sure the mackems will take him, much to delight of Geordies
