The person who posted the original question took 5 days to come back to me to confirm I was correct. I read the charter before I joined the thread but wasn't aware there was a deadline involved...

Anyway, Newcastle United have had 10 managers in their existence - 7 English men and 1 Irish man. Name either of the Scottish men that managed them.

That question re Newcastle managers is based on incorrect information.

There was a Dutchman and a few Irishmen and more than 2 Scots.

Ok my apologies to Brussel Sprouts (you were correct btw) and Piuswal (you were aweo correct) I made an arse of the question (had an eye on Love Hate at the time) I'll ask a different one instead.

Name an Irish man who went from the blues to the reds but loved scoring against a team in red? Will check in tomorrow morning. Apologies again for mix up.

@Piuswal - I realised my error shortly after I posted which is why I then posted an even more confusing question ;-)
