Yes, for once a Newcastle boss has shown an interest in what the fans thought. Sources inside the Fans Forum have confirmed that, in recent memory, Steve McClaren is the first Newcastle manager to actively engage with the supporters present and ask their own opinions. Some may say it is clever PR and just shows McClaren has been coached in what to say by the club, but that is perhaps unfair on the ex-England manager. McClaren genuinely seems to want to engage with the supporters and ensure the club delivers what the fans want. Fans who were inside the Forum have confirmed to whatculture.com/nufc that they felt McClaren was interested in what they had to say and that he himself was extremely impressive.
