As Paulo Fonseca finished his third interview for the managerial vacancy at Newcastle United, he must have felt confident he had got the job.
Yes, some of the questions had not been what he might have expected - some were about the fans, one about his relationship with the media, and not many had been football-specific, the kind that enable coaches to explain how they improve teams.
But that was not unduly concerning - more than one person involved in chats with Newcastle has spoken of finding the questions put to managers more akin to ones fans might ask, rather than the type posed by officials of elite clubs.
