Newcastle Utd are set to replace sacked manager Steve McClaren with Brian Johnson, the geordie lead singer of veteran Australian rockers ACDC, according to club insiders.
It is believed the club have once again decided to turn to a local legend as a morale-booster in their uphill struggle to avoid relegation after Johnson dropped out of ACDC's forthcoming world tour on doctor's orders due to his impaired hearing.
Newcastle owner Mike Ashley is said to have opted for Johnson on learning that his first choice Andy Capp was a fictitious character.
Steve McClaren is expected to accept a lucrative offer to train CIA-backed Islamic rebels in Libya.
