At least quote the full sentence, those first 7 words are clearly important to the context I did quote it. I just highlighted the part where he said he had to get away from the club...which directly contradicted his first sentence. You highlighted a bit that looks bad when done so, the full sentence clearly states AS THINGS STAND......which anyone can see is a fair thing to say. Would you stay if you were him? He is clearly saying he will only go if this cant be resolved not that he wants to. I'd keep my trap shut and I'd continue to do what I was being paid to do whilst things are still in limbo. I wouldn't go running to the Sun with an EXCLUSIVE interview either. If I wasn't happy with how things were developing behind the scenes I'd hand a transfer request in.

I said if he wants to leave, he should put a transfer request in. Personally, I hope he stays because I think he'd be the best full-back in the league but if he doesn't want to be here.... He's made it pretty clear he wants to stay imo. He just wants things sorted, same as the rest of us. That won't happen and he'll be forced to walk away - that does not make him a cunt, greedy or any of the other disgraceful things he's been called over the last week. It all simply comes back to the fat slug at the helm. I thought he confirmed he wanted to leave, hence the thread title? We all want things sorting out but he's under contract to the club whereas we aren't. He's got a choice - he can either knuckle down and do what he's being paid handsomely to do or he can leave. I'm just saying that if it' the latter, he needs to do things properly. I've already said I want him to stay but I wouldn't want him to stay if he's going to twist on all the time. He's either part of the problem or part of the solution. "I'd like nothing more than to stay and help the team get back to where it belongs but there is no chance of us being promoted the way things are going. "Training has been good and no one is slacking or taking it easy. But there is a sense that everything is just drifting." "This cannot go on, it really can't. I feel for the good of my career I have to get away because it is dragging me down." What he wants and what he might have to do are clearly two different things. Like JJ says, why would he put a transfer request in when Shearer might take over next week and he gets what he wants? The fact is that if we're only going to have players on the books who want to be at Mike Ashley's Newcastle United and feel their career can progress here then we're looking at two sets of players - the wastes of oxygen we've already got on massive wedge and utterly desperate shite from divisions lower than the Championship. I'd rather Beye was unhappy than not with the way things are going. I don't give two fucks if he's getting involved in fights on the pitch - I'm just living in hope that he's keeping in practice for the next time he sees Mike Ashley. So he wants to stay but he has to get away? That's my point. He's got a choice - he's either with us or he wants away. He needs to make a decision as he can't have it both ways.

Do you want me to close the forum 'til something concrete happens then? People are just giving their opinions man...

I don't. That's why I used the word 'if'.

Maybe he does want to stay but wants a contract extension? Something I'll bet Shearer privately suggested he'd be getting if he was put in charge. Shearer had ear-marked Beye as one of the three players he wanted to re-build around, but now we have Chris Hughton handed the reigns with no clout and no respect from either directors or playing staff. If the goalposts have been changed then obviously players attitudes are going to change as well. Give Shearer the job tomorrow and this will all be sorted. If he's asking for a contract extension (presumably on better terms?) then he couldn't have chosen a worse time to ask for one! I do agree that the appointment of Shearer would calm a lot of this fuss down. It would settle most of the players and allow us to function like a normal club. We don't know exactly what's going on behind the scenes which means we're all jumping to conclusions and joining the dots as we see them. That said, if he's negotiating with other clubs behind the club's back then he's a twat. Just like Given was a twat for doing the same thing in January. If a player doesn't want to be here then that's fair enough - I wouldn't be too surprised at all. But if they do want out then do things properly and ask for a transfer. I'm just asking for a bit of honesty from him, and the rest of them for that matter. A bit of honesty from Ashley wouldn't go amiss either...

If he doesn't want to be here then he should do things properly and hand in a transfer request. At least N'Zogbia and Milner had the decency to leave the club in the right manner. I'll be sorry to see him go (and hopefully he'll stay) but if he's not 100% committed to the club then it's best if he pisses off asap.

I'd be astonished if City are finished spending yet. I reckon they'll get 2 more in before September, sack Hughes before Xmas, appoint a much better manager and buy 3 more big names in January. Wouldn't surprise me at all if they reeled in Arsenal this year to finish 4th. Nasri's out, Adebayor's gone and Fabregas could be next. We'll see.

I'd have serious reservations about using the useless twat as a fucking draught excluder tbh.

Yeah it was a real nightmare beating Spurs, Reading, Fulham, Sunderland, Bolton. We didn't beat Bolton under Keegan, did we? It was 0-0 imo.

Can't believe that La Bonbonera (the chocolate box) hasn't been mentioned yet. Fantastic stadium. http://www.fascination-stadium.com/images/bombonera.jpg

Selling Adebayor might just come back to kick Wenger in the bollocks come May. If City click then they could pip the Arse for 4th and his goals might be the difference.

If they're going to sell him then they should squeeze as much cash out of City as possible. Maybe another 4 or 5 million. FYP in case they fancy taking our approach. I just think the deal they're offering is getting close to the 'too good to turn down' stage. But if they jack the price up all the time then they'll look elsewhere and Everton will be possibly left with an unhappy player and no cash to spend.

Unless things change we're not going anywhere - up or down.

Perhaps Shearer won't accept that. Maybe not? He accepted an 8 game contract a few months back though.

Can't see why Ashley can't just appoint Shearer on a temporary one-year contract to give the club a bit of stability without lumbering the new owners with a manager they might not want.

£10,000,000 m. For him..... I'd snap their arms off at the elbow for half of that.

That's bollocks and you fucking know it is. Post the link then, I haven't seen anything I'll pm you it.

That's bollocks and you fucking know it is.

It does tbh. The NUSC have made several attempts to meet with their 'detractors' in an effort to iron out any misconceptions and address any issues and you've not said boo to a goose. Suddenly, once they've gained trust status, you've chosen to have a little pop. Just a little snide imo. This is post about NUSC and I’ve sensed no malice in James comments. Perhaps he’s got a point, accessibility is a big issue in website design and the nusc site isn’t the easiest thing on the eye. Which makes it a bit baffling when he moans on here (hoping peasepud reads it), rather than to the NUSC directly...

You might if you were a Tory. You are a Newcastle fan. s*** analogy. James is only making an observation, and it’s a valid one if true. Why should he contact NUSC instead of posting on here? No obligation to do anything, but I don't understand why it would be better to do it this way. NUSC are easily contactable and (as far as I can tell) actively seeking to include the view of as many fans as possible. Why not try and make it better? Bingo.
