"If you are not winning football matches then it used to be you got half a season, or usually a season, now you get six games. If you are in a job you know that is the case.
"Newcastle are a big football club, (with a) very passionate football crowd, and a very frustrated crowd at times. They are not slow to show their emotions.
"But that is the price on the ticket of being a manager at Newcastle.
"You know that if it does go wrong your head will be on the block, and be on the block pretty quickly. That is where he finds himself, unfortunately.
"It is part of the deal. You have to deal with it.
"You have to be thick-skinned, you have to have the support of the people around you and you hope the players are still with you.
"If that is in place and the board are sensible, then he might get through it."

"I thought he did well last year with the squad he had and I think he will do it again this season.
"Don't judge him yet. It takes about six games to start getting into it and he has had a few players come in, so it will take time to gel."
