Big Geordie

Sounds like a canny atmosphere at Goatsheed. Just been some bother, according to Radio Newcastle - bit of a 'scuffle' in the main stand.

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.
