I'd take Colback - he'd be a versatile addition. I remember when we brought Bracewell from the mackems and there wasn't this much fuss!

I see the logic, but I think getting rid of Ashley hinges on a motivated buyer rather than a demotivated seller. IMO. Why would he sell while we're in the PL? I genuinely believe that he'll own us for another 20 years if he wants to I don't think he will for that long, as as much as he obviously enjoys pissing us lot off - it'll be a train wreck of a club after another 5/10 years if he holds course. In saying that, it already is - but it can get much worse.

Doesn't want to sell for less than a tidy profit (IE unrealistic price) more like. Quite possibly. However, he will never get that due to his ambitions for us. Which makes me believe that he wants his £120million loan back and paid off, before he will sell. I think he will take back a huge chunk this year. We'll see when the accounts are due next year, because as things stand - NUFC are due to post a profit of around £40million!

I'd imagine if there are folk out there willing to buy Aston Villa for £250million, then there will be takers for NUFC for a similar price. I believe Ashley doesn't want to sell though - at the moment.

Thing is, his free-advertising won't look very good inside St James with only 35-40000 there for a PL game. He WILL take notice of a big drop in s/t sales and I believe it will happen. Although the club will try to make out that it's no big deal.

Re-watching the Keegan interviews. Got them saved on my Sky+ box.

True, he loves Liverpool too. But look into his eyes and listen to his voice when he talks about us. Plain as day to see.

Keegan Saw him here as a player, and as a manager. Absolutely top bloke who is still black and white through and through.

I lived in Boro (went to Teesside Uni at the time) when Robson was appointed. He did undoubtedly have an effect on the town, but it was nout compared to what KK did for us.

In depth as always.

Bet they had nothing to say on our situation. Not exciting enough for MotD.

And yet plenty tell us that we are where we should be, and we should be grateful.

The more and more I think about it, the more I'm resigned to him still being here next season. Why? He's done exactly what the owner has asked for and got the bonus of making St James Park apathetic to what is going on. Leaves Ashley able to do exactly what he wants, which is PL survival to peddle has shitty brand for nowt.

Fair play to them today - putting our lot to shame.
