What do we think?

Sky Sports revealed that Pochettino was the Toon’s number one target to replace Steve Bruce if the takeover goes through, and according to this report, they now have alternatives.

However, Villas-Boas did not last long in England either with Chelsea or Tottenham Hotspur even though he won 42 of his 81 games in the Premier League.

Favre, on the other hand, has never managed in England, but he has taken charge of 287 matches in the Bundesliga and currently has his Borussia Dortmund side second having scored 68 goals.

It will be interesting to see what move the new owners make if the takeover happens.
