Going by what Llambias has said recently. A few things that have come out in the last few days hint that it could actually happen.

cant see kk back at newcastle

And if it was to happen, what would be your opinion, and the general opinion amongst Newcastle fans?

I wouldn't want him back. If it did happen though, I'd only want him back until the end of the season and then say goodbye. He left us in a huge amount of poop and that is unforgivable.

Amongst Newcastle fans in general, it would be very mixed. Some feel the same as me but some would still take him back. If I had to choose one way or another, I'd say more wouldn't want him back.

The daft thing is though, I've said it's unforgivable what he's done yet if he came back and got us playing to the standard he did at the back end of last season, I reckon it would be hard to carry on not liking him. I think a lot of that would be down to who our current manager is, his style of football and the difference in the way the two come across when talking to the media.

I see. Will Joe miss the rest of the season then after his op?

Not sure. Sounds as though he could be back in a couple of months which would leave us at the end of April/beginning of May which is practically the end of the season anyway.

I'm hoping he's advised not to carry on managing us due to his health.

Essien scores for Chelsea reserves on his comeback

Well I think it would be right for the club to step in and appoint somebody else, it would be best to leave Joe to recover without any of the stress of Newcastle to deal with. It would also benefit the club if they had somebody with more ability/experience than Hughton to guide them until the end of the season.

If we do anything, we have to appoint somebody permanently. I think if Kinnear comes back he'll only end up needing more medical attention.

What's the situation with Ashley? Is he still after selling or has he pledged his future to the club?

Just after seeing what happened when he took over and how he never really wanted Allardyce, I wonder if he'd be curious about what potential owners may be after, like.
