As for the arabs taking over, do you really want to become the next Chelsea? I've despised them for what they've done to the game.

Perhaps, but the gulf between "the big four", particularly Manchester United and Chelsea, has got to the stage where you have to "do a Chelsea" to compete with them. It's a no brianer vast quantities of money increase the chances of success, success brings the world wide popularity and therefore the revenue.
Oh I know it would be just skippy if we could carry on the way we are, gathering a team of quality hard working players and eventually after a number of years hope we have the strength to muster up an assault on the larger teams of this league, but lets face it, we're going to get left behind. Just look what's happened at Man City, and it will happen to other teams too. it's alright taking the moral high ground but if your taking two steps forward while everyone else is taking five then your going to get left behind.
It will get to the stage where this league is divided into two types of football clubs, the financially elite and the honest also-rans, I know which group I want to be in.
I would welcome a investor which is interested in football rather than business... Just hate the Abramovich, Thaksin and Sheik style.
Would love a change to the rules. Limiting the number of transfers within the window or something.

I thought Slaven Bilic said something. Thought he was getting lined up as a replacement...
I now assume it's Bernie...
same here :-)

Keegan recommended Mears
Marseille secured the signing of Tyrone Mears from Derby County on the transfer deadline day, and chairman Pape Diouf has revealed that Kevin Keegan recommended the player to LOM.
It has been confirmed that the 25-year-old will be second choice right back at the Stade Velodrome this season behind Laurent Bonnart.
Mears is the first Englishman to join LOM in 12 years and Diouf has explained the secret behind this shocking move.
We were in the quest for a cover for Laurent Bonnart who could settle to French football, Diouf said. As a consequence, we used our connexions who recommended Tyrone to us.
I even contacted several persons I know in England, including Kevin Keegan, who described him as a top quality player.
They were on the phone because of the Taiwo deal... ;-)

New Indian Owner appoints his board
Chairman Tim CURRY
Football Director Tim RICE
I'd stick to the comedy routine about the club being 5 minutes from receivership before Ashley saved us and how well it's being run now if I were you. That's far more funny, and far less racist.
No more racist than the we're going for an english sketch from goodness gracious me
f***ing hell political correctness gone mad!
bla bla bla

Glad somebody beat me to it... What an unnecessary and unfunny comment

He's not very good anyway.
I'd prefer Smith.
You're joking?!?! :-0
About which part?
Andy Carroll has proved nothing more to me than the fact that he's a human battering ram.
Even when he went out on loan to the Championship, his record was pretty pathetic.
Don't see why so many rate him tbh.
Not said that I rate him, but there isn't a NUFC player which i wouldn't prefer to Smith. Even Shola is slightly "better"...

Just thought I'd say, think the stick he's got today has been pathetic and uncalled for. He may not be everyones cup of tea, but this has nothing to do with him. This looks between Ashley, KK, and Llambias to sort out, so let's back off Wise a bit.
Bollocks!
I hate the little cockney t***, and it shows a total lack of understanding of NUFC and football in general that Ashley appointed him in the first place.
sorry like, but that's as stupid a post as they come
Sorry, but you are coming across like a horrible little twat... :-)))
-
I don't want us to be bought out Man City-style but I certainly wouldn't mind seeing Ashley bought out right about now.
Why? I'd rather have our debt clear by some people who can actually handle clearing our debt - and then have some proper money to be spent on players. I bet Keegan would have f***ing loved it if he could be in charge of us with ambitious Arabs backing him up.
No thanks!!! Not in a million years. This guy is ten time worse than Abramovitsch... Fucking money machines with no interest in football.

Couldn't find the proper "Mike Ashley" thread because this server has some internal error...anyway, with the recent report that Keegan has resigned from his post at Newcastle due to the way the club's being runned.. or should I rather use the word ruined?... My support and patient with Mike Ashley has come to an end. I WANT MIKE ASHLEY OUT OF NEWCASTLE - NOW!!!
Kevin Keegan belongs a trillion times more to Newcastle than Mike Ashley. When I went to bed last night my thought were: "Hey, this was the exact thing that happened last year as well!"
Some of you may support Ashley. But I'm 110% behind Keegan. You can say whatever you'd like about Ashley. Instead of letting you daydream of Newcastle actually winning EPL and become the best, he has swopped that with dreams that "The Ashley way is the right way". And to think I almost bought into that s***...
Ashley needs to leave our club - he's done enough.
Shoot that fat git... :-)
-
Who's the biggest joke?
a) Newcastle
b) Leeds
c) Hearts
To sack your manager one day after the transfer window without him doing anything wrong beats anything i've seen earlier.
Ironicly it proves that all the Keegan Ashley fallout news were true
Which makes us all look like idiots
Which gives us the highest honour..we my friend..are a joke, and its not even a funny one.
You forgot to say 'if this is true'.
Mate, there's something going on one way or another.
You forgot to say 'if this is true'. :-)))) I am a joke btw
-
have to say this, have to:
the people who are saying "wait until it's confirmed, we don't know anything yet"
sound just like those who said:
"wait until the window is closed, you don't know what the club are doing in the background"
priceless
absolutely agree!
-
I can't believe this is happening.
Think I'll actually cry if Keegan resigns/is sacked
Same here. Sad but true...
-
if we replace KK with Wise then Mike Ashley needs shooting.
I would shoot him anyway atm...
-
Well, let's just say that if King Kev decides to resign, Mike Ashley should retire. Those billion Arab money could be at our pockets!!!
It just once again proves and shows the lack of ambition and another mistake by the NUFC board. We're moving in the wrong direction.
Don't talk shite, mate!
-
All ifs and buts, but if Keegan had agreed to sell Barton, I wonder if they had a replacement lined up for him?
Nor sure how true it is, but last night Sky (David Craig) claimed the Barton deal was a swap deal with the other unnamed club, for another player (also unnamed).
However, it fell through as to quote david craig "'they wanted £4m as well as the player", but it wasn't clear whether 'they' was us wanting £4m + a player for Barton, or if the other club wanted us to give them Barton + £4m for the other player.
Suppose we'll never know.
We wanted £4m for Barton, Pompey wouldn't pay it. We suggested £2m plus Diop. They weren't interested.
Diop !! christ we're setting our sights high.
Hmmm...
-
If he goes Ashley's position will become untenable.
No it won't
Can you see the fans backing him if he does go?
Yes, because they'll say that it is all about loyalty towards the club (and not towards single players/managers)...
Unforgiveable if true.

Arsenal's Gael Clichy has claimed Joey Barton has few friends among the Premier League's French contingent.
"He wanted to make something for his first game back and I don't want to talk about it but Samir did well and I'm proud of him."
Speachless
That comment is a disgrace! As much as I dislike Barton for what he did (off the pitch), i hate the frenchies covering each other all the time. FFS what if Beye tripped Fabregas for his tackling (the one who led to his yellow), which was AT LEAST as bad as Bartons?!?! Their supporters (and the press) would have gone mad...
BTW Am I the only one who thinks, that it should have been a straight red card for Nasri?
-
Does Beckham really deserve to be in there still?
yes
-
Maxi Rodriguez!
But being realistic - Larsson is the man
He's a bit old isn't he.
Sebastian not Henrik... :-)

what's Nacho Novo up to these days? don't rate him personally, but i have a sneaky feeling that.....
Fuckin hell...NO!

another slow news day eh

Obafemi Martins urged to keep on scoring
Aug 21 2008 by Alan Oliver, Evening Chronicle
Given urged to keep stopping the ball going in his net Shock!!!!
He gets paid for THAT!!!!!!!!
Even worse, it looks like he's lifted the story straight off the official site!
http://www.nufc.premiumtv.co.uk/page/NewsDetail/0,,10278~1371793,00.html
you know its a slow day when you see stories like this, or even worse, when you see "Rob Lee Says Newcastle Need To Win"
"Steven Taylor says fans can roar Toon to victory on Saturday."
Accompanied by a photo of him pumping fist and/or throwing shirt at fans.
Love Stevy T, He has the potential to be a great at Newcastle, loves the badge more than anyone else in the squad
The punching the air and throwing the shirt is not an act with him, he genuinely loves the club, so get off his fukin back
He was outstanding on Sunday, after sustaining an injury that 95% of players would have come off with.
He will get better.
Colo and Stevy 4 5 years
he loves himself more than the badge if you ask me...

Healy scores first...

No, not at all. I can understand his frustration, but as a pro you just have to focus on your football rather than the manager... Otherwise you're fucked anyway.
