Quick question, if the choice was between Shepherd appointing Speed, or Shepherd turning up at the BBC Studio to serenade Shearer with 'The Long and Winding Road,' what would you choose?

You forget that their investigations into a takeover have been rumbling on for some time. How long did the Abramovich deal take? Things may have been going on in the backgroung for a while, but it seemed like a bolt out the blue when it actually went through. This isn't an Abramovich situation though, this is a Glazer. Negotiate with one shareholder then another, then another, always looking for the best value for money. Find out who wants to cling on tto their shares and avoid negotiations, and finally accumulate enough shares to trigger a complete takeover.

It's going to take months to happen, these things always do, and by then, we could be in big trouble.

I wonder, if it were a possibility, how well Sven would do here?... if you were to refer to paragraph eight:

Do you trust Shepherd to get the right man in? His track record says he'll not and we'll be after another manager in a few months, Freddy has lost the trust of the fans and must go. I dont trust Shepherd's ability to make a good long term managerial appointment, but right now, we are going nowhere but down, and I very much doubt that any takeover will happen until the end of the season. Something must be changed, and fast, even for a short term boost. We must make sure that Shepherd knows he isn't wanted, but we must also realise that something has to be done in the short term and fast. I'm focusing my energies on reccommending new management for now, just in case Shepherd decides that he must listen to the fans this time around.

To be honest, calling for Shepherd's head will be futile, for him leaving is not as simple as a manager leaving. He would have to sell his shares and shit, and that takes time. Otherwise, he is just taking a backseat, and letting the Halls run things which is just as bad. We should make Shepherd feel as unwanted as possible so he does go if and when a reasonable bid comes in. All this could happen too late, we need to get a new manager in, and we need to get Shearer into some enlarged role at the club so there is someone to protect the new manager from Shepherd's antics.

Games Luque played in (under Roeder): Sunderland, Lillestrom, Wigan, Aston Villa, Ventspills. Games Luque scored in: Sunderland, Lillestrom and Wigan (bad offside decision). Game Martins played in: Every match since Aston Villa Game Martins scored in: West Ham. ****ing silly to write off a player like that, especially when you consider that people are mostly judging him by the games where he was thrown into the deep end by a clueless manager carrying a personal vendetta. Incredible piece of spin there, Blair would be proud. Funny how you can count Luque's goal versus Lillestrom yet ignore Martins' brace versus Talinn.

Why the need to bump a thread that was posted in less than a minute before? The post a minute before was made while, I was posting, sorry. Any chance this could get stickied so as many people see it as possible. More likely to be noticed if it doesn't get stickied to be honest. Also to be honest, nothing is happenning with this protest, there is no organisation, no common agreement, nothing. At the moment, it is just an incoherent rabble doing their own thing that is bound to get unnoticed, unheard, and easily brushed under the carpet.

Why the need to bump a thread that was posted in less than a minute before?

Are us ex-topic mods actually allowed to merge threads? I just assumed it was a left over bit of code that Bluf & co. forgot to fix.

I'm going to throw another name into the frame later when a writer gets around to proofreading the second half of my article. Keep your eyes peeled onthe main site. of the four on the poll, Ranieri is my favourite.

Roeder will keep his job, afterall, Shepherd has just let him appoint a new assistant.

He's come out of retirement so he can play for Plymouth.

Interesting read NE5, but there are a few loopholes - you regard the Keegan appointment as lucky, yet the appointment of Robson was exceptional. Couldn't they both have been lucky appointments, after all, in the end of the day, you never now how a manager/player is going to turn out at this club.

Bastid, you kicked me out of the top 5 for the first time.

Who is Have a Miss Piggy? - you're up against me (Jimbo's XI) It's a bit of a tricky draw for both of us in my opinion.

HTT aka Knightrider aka Howaythetoon aka Grassroots is the joint-owner of Newcastle-Online.

Actually, if you read all my posts, in this thread, I'm not laughing at you, I'm laughing at BOTH of you.

Look at me, my names HTT, no fucker reads my posts because they're so fucking long. I like to think that my posts are GREAT, and think everyones bumfucks me for writing something meaningful, but I ignore the fact that I'm really being bumfucked because I have the power. I'm a little bit like Alan Oliver and like to force my own ideas onto others. That is why I bummed Ottmar Hitzfeld so much and campaigned on the main site. Anyone who didn't want him was a fucking idiot. I also want to force my preconceived "perfect" forum ideas onto everybody now. 85% disagree but FUCK THEM, I'M NEVER WRONG AS BEING BUMFUCKED FOR MY UBERPOSTS SO MUCH HAS INFLATED MY EGO!

Look at me, my names Gemmill, no fucker reads my posts because they're so filled with sarcasm and implications of others being tools. I like to think that my posts are GREAT, and think everyone from Toontastic bumfucks me for writing something meaningful, but I ignore the fact that I'm really being bumfucked because I have alex. I'm a little bit like a ginger Stalin and like to force my own ideas onto others. That is why I hate Martins so much and campaigned on Toontastic. Anyone who wants him was a fucking idiot. I also want to force my preconceived "perfect" forum ideas onto everybody now. 15% disagree but FUCK THEM, I'M NEVER WRONG AS BEING BUMFUCKED FOR MY PUT-DOWNS SO MUCH HAS INFLATED MY EGO!

still at it. In a minute, Gemmill as going to tell HTT to 'have a word'

see, you are both doing it.
