As the pitiful Steve McClaren era at Newcastle United fades into but a bad memory, things are looking up for the Toon Army. 

For McClaren too, it seems.

Shocking news broke today that the former England coach is seemingly in line for a surprise return to former club Derby County, to take over from Nigel Pearson.

After failing to get them promoted last time, the ex-Boro chief made a move to St. James’ Park, where he fared even worse for the Magpies.

Sacked after just eight months, his dour reign in charge can largely be attributed to the club’s slide into the second tier.

So, it’s fair to say his stock has rarely ever been lower.

As you can well imagine, Newcastle fans on Twitter are having an absolutely field day at the news.

The notion of Rafa Benitez pitting his wits against McClaren is a hilarious one and we simply cannot wait.

With that in mind, here are the SIX best fan reactions.
