but if he could be persuaded to sign a 5 year contract for low wages

then there's not much for Newcastle to lose.

He fails - they sack him and it dunt cost much.
He succeeds - no-one else can nick him without paying them mucho compensation.

And it may have been the only way he would agree to do the job for sh*t wages.

So maybe not that mad.
