Big Geordie

Andy Carroll gone in January, if not the summer. Chelsea, Spurs and possibly Man United waiting in the wings. Shifting out the likes of Smith and Barton will be much harder, because who will pay them the wages they are on here?

Am sure this was mooted 2 years ago, when Newcastle Blue Star were still going. I'll be going to watch Blyth Spartans from now on - I know my support will be appreciated there.

Hudson - he was apparently knocking off one of his players' wives at Southampton, which is why he got the shove. Did it at West Ham too, allegedly!

McKeag was bad during the mid/late 80's. Not as bad as this though, if I'm honest.

GM - that consideration doesn't enter my thinking because it will not happen.

What happens if by some miracle we end up winning silverware under Pardew? You are having a laugh aren't you? That won't happen in a million years.

I'll follow the club on TV/radio and in the media. No more going to games for me now. I won't set foot inside St James until Ashley is gone. Simple as that.

*sigh* No end in sight to this nightmare it would appear. I hope the crowd on Saturday back the players to the hilt, but also give plenty of shit towards Ashley, Llambias and Pardew. I bet our owner won't be there anyway - he will be 'away on business'. Yellow streaked c**t that he is.

He can't have missed the fact that our crowds are already significantly down from our last Premiership season. I mean the mans the Footballing equivalent of Forrest Gump without the luck but he can see numbers when they're staring him in the face. Crowds are down, but the cash is still rolling in at the moment. do you think we'll make an operating profit this season ? Nope - but we won't lose as much as we did last season. Then again - remember the the first remit of any new manager coming in may well be to sell Carroll. If Spurs or Chelsea come waving daft money in January, can you see Ashley saying no? I can't.

honestly can't see how he's going to get it. Easy - TV Money, Merchandising, Season Ticket Sales, etc. As long as the cash keeps rolling in (and we stay in the PL), he can take it out when he likes. Easy?, IF we could possibly make £10m profit a year, which is a big if with fans started to disapear and likely more of them off after this latest s*** storm, then he could maybe make his money back in 30 years time. Perhaps he believes that folk will still turn up no matter what he does to them and the club?

Also I wonder if 5 years will be time enough for him to claw back the cash from the club, that I believe he wants?

If that's true, then it's definitely going to be a 'yes man' who comes in. No self-respecting coach will come and work with butttons and be expected to produce a miracle.

Wilkins did a poor job at QPR back in the early-mid 90's did he not? No-goer for me - mainly because he lacks experience and he comes over as being a respected man.

So Hughton has been stabbed in the back for one of Ashley's mates. Super. If Pardew gets this, he's s dead man walking even before he starts.

Pardew doesn't think much of his players.... ask Carl Fletcher and Rui Fonte (allegedly)

I believe Caulkin on this one. Pardew it is then and therein lies my decision to put not one more penny of my cash into this club whilst Ashley remains. I urge all other supporters to do the same.

Not had 'reason' to do it before now, Elbel. The 5 game winless run gave him his out ball to bin Hughton.

This. I will be finished with the club until the meglomaniac is gone.

I'm gonna make a predication - Ashley has a buyer lined up next summer, but that deal will be dependent on staying up. Any new owner may well want to bring in their own man, hence Hughton not being given a new deal and who would be willing to work as a no.2 for a manager who is in limbo? Of course, it's just personal speculation on my part but this is NUFC and Mike Ashley we are talking about.

Natural talent and flair is being coached out of kids at the moment - it's all about power and athleticism. Add to that, kids shouldn't play on a full-size pitch until they are 13-14 and you have another reason. The coaching and academy system in this country needs a complete overhaul in terms of it's thinking and how to produce quality players.

Hughton has been badly let down by the players in recent weeks, in terms of performances and discipline. Time to earn his money now and sort the feckers out. That said, he has to stop making the same tactical mistakes as well, or come January - the pressure will be on Ashley to replace him. And who will that mean? JFK.

I'll say again for the Shola haters - I think the lad has been carrying an injury for the last 2-3 weeks.

Where was Barton today, btw? Has he picked up a knock or has there been another fallout?
