One of our NUMad reporters has just returned from Cyprus where he went to see Temuri Ketsbaia's side Anorthorsis Famagusta in action.
According to fans who know the manager, they claim he still talks about Newcastle as being one of the happiest periods of his life and they say he would jump at the chance of a return to Tyneside.
Mike Ashley has yet to make up his mind who he will sell to, after putting the club up for sale after being vilified by the fans.
Joe Kinnear is acting as interim manager and says he wants to keep the job.
But Ketsbaia spent three years as a player at St James' Park and became a cult hero.
The Georgian has taken his club to the group stage of the Champions League.
After a win over Panathinaikos and a draw at Werder Bremen his side currently lie joint top of Group B with Internazionale.
He told the Daily Mirror: "If the chance came up at Newcastle, I wouldn't say no!"
