Bookies’ candidates to replace McClaren

Undeniably, the pressure on Steve McClaren’s shoulders is rapidly increasing as the weeks go by.

Since arriving in the summer, the Magpies have only picked up two victories from their opening 14 games this season. They currently sit in a dangerous 19th place.

Although many of the fans would like to see the back of McClaren, it is understood that his job is safe – for now.

If positive results and performances aren’t seen in the near future, then Steve’s short, struggling stint on Tyneside could come to a conclusion. With the former England boss refusing to quit, infamous owner Mike Ashley may be forced to pull the plug sooner rather than later.

Who could replace McClaren, though? We take a look at the candidates. All odds courtesy of SkyBet.
