While Newcastle are yet to comment on McClaren's position, reports on Monday suggested the board, of which he is a member, was holding discussions about the situation without him.

Meanwhile, an open letter to the club from the Fans Forum - which has 15 seats occupied by supporters representing different elements of Newcastle's fanbase, and meets to put questions to club officials at various points during a season - was published.

It said: "What NUFC fans want is a team of 11 players in black and white shirts that understand their role to perform to their maximum - week in, week out.

"We have entrusted the board of NUFC to ensure that the right personnel are in place to carry out this basic expectation.

"Whilst we still have 10 games to go, NUFC Fans cannot accept the current work ethic of the players.

"Someone, somewhere has to be accountable and decisions must be made.

"We must urge you to review our position and initiate any changes you see fit to correct the current attitude of the playing staff.

"Our players frequently look jaded and our playing style often appears outdated. We lack organisation and the players continue to lack discipline.

MercurialX superfly "We want players that are proud to wear the famous colours. We want a manager that truly wants the best for us.

The letter also listed a series of negative statistics Newcastle have accumulated this season under McClaren, who was appointed as boss last summer after being sacked by Derby.

Included were the facts the Magpies have won only six league games from 28 so far to match their total of victories at the same stage in their relegation campaign of 2008-09, that they have the second-worst goal difference in the division, and that they have only managed to score 28 goals.

The emergence of the letter came after further fierce criticism of Newcastle from their former player Alan Shearer, who had a brief stint managing the team for the final few games of the 2008-09 season.

Mercurial Superfly CR7 BHM Shearer told BBC's Match of the Day programme on Saturday: "The whole club is a mess from top to bottom."

And the 45-year-old followed that up in his column for The Sun, saying: "The most shameful slur anyone can possibly aim at a professional player is that they simply don't care about their club.

"But today that can be aimed at 90 per cent of Newcastle's players.

"Their pathetic performance against Bournemouth proved it once and for all."

Shearer suggested league leaders Leicester "could rack up a cricket score" against Newcastle next Monday, predicted the Magpies would lose the derby clash with Sunderland after that, and said he was "convinced" they were heading for relegation.

"Quite simply they (the players) are not playing for McClaren or the Newcastle fans," Shearer said.

"Steve was very lucky to get this job after overseeing Derby's implosion last season.

"For some time now he has looked powerless to stop a slide into the Championship. Because that is where I am convinced my club is heading now.

"And don't believe that the size of the club means they will be bouncing back any time soon either.

"They could go right through the Championship as well, because there are barely any characters in this side who would fight to get the club back up. They simply do not care.

"They have betrayed a club, a city, a community, with their lacklustre and totally heartless performances.

The China Property Forum is an economics and finance forum dedicated to discussion of Chinese and global real estate markets, including China house prices, global house prices, housing affordability, and the likelihood of a global house price crash or China house price crash. Is there a Chinese housing bubble? Will house prices crash, boom or stagnate? Is it better to buy using a home loan, or rent and save the difference? How might a credit crunch or peak debt environment impact Chinese property prices? Is the Chinese property market a pyramid scheme or Ponzi scheme? Can house prices rise forever as people bet on future gains, refinance their mortgage and borrow against equity, or can we find a more sustainable long term approach to managing the Chinese housing market? These are the type of questions we hope to address here, at the China Property Forum, the premier real estate site for property bears, bulls, investors, and speculators! Whether you're a Property Investor, First Home Buyer (FHB) or you're a happily renting tenant, this forum has something for everyone. The forum includes a blog feature, so members may create their own property blog.
