Wouldn't be any compensation to pay out either.

If he stays and he's switched on then he'll rip the division apart next year. He'll look like Vieira in his pomp.

Sign shit, get sacked.

Please don't fuck it up. Please don't fuck it up. Please don't fuck it up.

Inevitable. In reality I couldn't give a fuck about losing any of them tbh. They've all disappointed to large extents, picking and choosing when they want to try and when they want to go through the motions and/or hide. The club and the squad in particular needs gutting and rebuilding from scratch. Bringing in funds and trimming the wage bill in the process is essential from every possible angle.

Went for the loathesome little ginger cunt too.

I lend out pens and count them back in at the end of the lesson ffs. Fake bombs?? Fuck me.

Nah, it's 4+1.

Saw it fly over Washington as the boy (7) was going to a birthday party, must have been about HT. Explained it to him and he just said "but...why?". Couldn't answer him. Still couldn't, no idea what they got out of it but there you go.

We had 3 points from 9 games when Sam came in. We've averaged 1.25 points per game since he arrived. That kind of return would get you about 47 points for the season. I'd be more than happy with that. Also his signings have been brilliant. Kirchoff for £750,000 is an absolute steal. Kone is a beast and Khazri has been immense. I understand why Newcastle fans slag off Allardyce, you deemed him not good enough, but for us he seems like a great fit because our expectations are less. Because he wasn't good enough. Performances and results for us proved that. Good enough for what though? All depends on your aims and ambitions. If mere survival is enough then, yeah, he's probably going to be good enough. Push on and have a pop at Europe and winning things then he's probably not. It's relative.

You just give the bloke exactly what he wants. As much of a cunt as Ashley undoubtedly is he will still want to bounce back first time. He'll want to do it purely to protect his investment rather than it's because he wants to do what's best for the fans and the club but it is in no ones best interests to go down and stay down. Again, he's a prick but surely to fucking god this cunt knows Benitez is the best possible chance he has of promotion and the fact he's here now would indicate he's acknowledged it.

Couldn't beat villa but do the double over spurs. Obviously. The fucking arseholes.

How the fans react goes both ways, it also sends a message to Charnley and Ashley. If he's asked for certain things to happen and they do it'll be fine. I think he knows he's popular and has won the fanbase over already but the changes need to happen to the club asap. If they drag their feet he'll be off.

How the fans react isn't important, its how Charnley and Ashley react to what Benitez wants to happen over the next 2 weeks or so. They give him what he wants then we'll be fine, they fail to deliver and he's gone.

Sounds like he's giving them a couple of weeks to put some things in place. If it happens I think he'll stay but if they even look like they're bottling it we'll not see him for dust.

He's keeping his options open and I don't blame him n the slightest. It's a big decision for him.

Yep, he's perfectly correct in all he says but why wasn't he suggesting a change in manager in November/December?

Hugely cynical about the leaks so far. Hope they're true obviously but it would be just like NUFC to keep things as hopeful as possible until the final fan has left on Sunday to avoid any widespread unrest. Keep things cush until the season finishes, do what they planned to regardless and wait a few months for the anger to die down.

By the time the final whistle goes on Sunday there's every chance the gap will be 7 points. If you're 7 points short after having spaffed 80 million then you've got to lose your job? Surely to God even Ashley will look at that and think "nah, that's fucking rank, off you pop".

46 games. Got to start early, fixtures out 22nd June.

Can not hope he feels he's just starting to get his teeth int the job and wants to see it through. If he's thinking of his career then he'll surely move on but if he's caught the bug then hopefully he'll want to see it through. I'm more worried that our cunts will be looking to sever things tbh.

Just gave up. Didn't fancy the battle so he simply stopped trying. Fuck him. Not the only one, but fuck him regardless.

Paul Loughlin (PL): "With 12 games to go, is the club in a crisis?" The club disagreed but understands its current league position and acknowledged it was very disappointing. The club explained that the squad's recent training camp in La Manga, Spain, was designed to help find solutions on the pitch in the final 12 games of the season. The camp was wholly focused on training and recovery, as well as a game. The club appreciates the work required to move up the table and remains confident that it will remain in the Premier League at the end of the season.

Lukaku has 25 goals this season but hasn't scored since the beginning of March...
