Do you think that if you say it often enough it might become true?

Of course it would, the managers appointed by Shepherd.

In the wrong hands money means nothing, money + Souness = debt.

It's no worse than last year and it's got a better manager telling it what to do.

I couldn't give a toss about personalities, we don't know if Ashley will back his managers. If he doesn't back them as much as Fred and the Halls, who would you rather have ? Backing as much as Fred or the Hall's is meaningless, it's what we get for the money. If Ashley doesn't back Allardyce as much as Shepherd might have but we win something then it's better.

You might turn out to be correct with some of the above but the comment about Ashley not spending money is no more than a crock of shit, he's spent £133 million to buy the club and he's taken on £80 million in debt. For the first time in the history of Newcastle United we've got a sole owner, one who has dragged more cash out of his pocket than we've ever seen before. He has employed a top businessman who is now looking at the club to see how it stands. We might not be taking massive leaps but we do seem to be laying the foundations to move forward by make good decisions for the club. If things work out well for us I think you will be privately gutted.

NSG?

Tell them to fuck off in that case.

I think it probably has something to do with it, I also think we have some money to spend but not as much as we would probably have once they understood the state of the club, that's just a guess.

If anybody thinks that Mort is going to cut short his review then they are probably going to be disappointed, do a Google on the bloke and check some of the work he's done in the past, he doesn't cut corners.

Then ask him twice.

I was talking about this for one. http://www.newcastle-online.com/nufcforum/index.php?topic=19310.msg357042#msg357042

I'm bored so went looking at some old threads, have a look at some of the comments in here, I guess a few people will go a shade of red when going through some of the posts.

Ask him why we appear to be having problems attracting players to Newcastle.

That doesn't read right.

Ask him if we should buy Teves.

Let's know how you get on when the trial is over.

How long did it take to sink in? I even followed the link and read the site a couple of times.

Emre has done nothing while he's been here, he's got a big season ahead of him this season, if he doesn't improve then we should think about letting him go but I'd hate to do it before seeing what a half decent manager can get out of him.

Agreed, he's starting to sound like Souness.

We had problems before Souness, it's just that he whinged about it more than Bobby.

Nobody said how long after, did they?

You don't need help with that one.

A complete guess is the fact that Ashley blew the whistle regarding price fixing of football shirts and the hefty fine that followed.
