‘No: out!’ Chris Waddle reveals a meeting in Jack Charlton’s office that went badly

Newcastle United manager Jack Charlton (l) and coach Willie (Iam) McFaul look on from the bench before a match against Luton Town at St James' Park on February 23rd, 1985 in Newcastle upon Tyne, England.

Chris Waddle has told FourFourTwo about what it was like playing for Jack Charlton – and the heated discussion with the former Newcastle United manager that resulted in the World Cup winner sending him out of the office.

Charlton got the Toon job in 1984, after Magpies legend Jackie Milburn convinced him to accept the role. Waddle was established in the side at the time, now revealing that though he liked his manager back then, there were aspects of his management that he disagreed with.
