Liar, he's not a Geordie, the fat mans from Cumberland.

Just wait for the "Rolls-Royce" wages the players are paid, he should remember the "Rolls-Royce" wages he earns while failing in everything he does, he leads and the club follows.

What would you do if you had his e-mail address?

All of the above, apart from William.

Shepherd also gets paid a good wage, it doesn't make him any better.

I think you should learn to read. I also think its ****ing amazing that people like you appear when the club is having a tough time then disappear when they are winning. And also continues to avoid giving alternatives to the current board and name the replacements that will guarantee to put the club into the top 4 permanently which is what you appear to think is automatic. There are no guarnatees in life, but I think it's worth a punt that a new chairman would do a better job the Shepherd. In fact I'm almost certain that we would be better off without FFS. And for your information, I look at the forum on a regular basis but feel it's pointless getting into petty arguments again with you, and others, when it's obvious that I'm not going to change your opinion on the crucial issue facing the club, who should be running NUFC. Hopefully the one good thing to come out of our current predicament is that the majority of Newcastle fans now agree with my long held belief that Shepherd has taken the club as far as his limited abilities allow, and that he should now sell up for the good of the club he claims to love. You can change his mind, look, he's already changed it while coming on here and appearing not to have, he's done a U turn. We are in the shit, and its hard to know the answer. Sacking the board may well bring about change - if they give it up but don't hold your breath - but it won't bring about immediate changes on the pitch and get some points on the board. Only 2 or 3 of the right sort of players for the right areas is going to do that. Sheff Utd deserved their win. We are toothless up front, Rossi was easily held, not his fault he tried his best but the team lacks someone to make things happen, to force openings, who said we would be better off without Shearer .... Zoggy's Cross was the nearest we came to a goal, did he mean to go for goal when he hit the bar ? Moore made me smile when he barged into Hulse, he can't complain when he was booked for doing it again and neither can Hulse for taking his own revenge when he elbowed him. If it is true that we agreed to play this game after playing on Thursday in Sicily for the TV fee, then whoever agreed to this wants shooting. These points could cost us badly, far more than a TV fee unless things pick up and fast. They should know this by now. It is amazing how Keegan came in and showed this club these thing, how to be professional, how a winning team is the best finance of all, and it has all been forgotten. As for the money and financial situation, this club has spent 37m quid in the last 2 years on forwards, since Souness came in. Think about it. THIRTY SEVEN MILLION QUID. 2 years ago we had Shearer and Bellamy up front. We have spent this money replacing them, and allowing for the fact that Owen is just about one of the best replacements for Shearer we could have got anywhere, that leaves 20m quid spent attempting to replace Bellamy. Is it beyond the realms of comprehension, that in view of the account published last week, that we could have still had Bellamy at the club, a top quality player, and not spent that 20m quid trying to replace him. The person, or people responsible for THAT decision, must be taken to account and blamed for the downturn since, because since we appointed Souness, and chose to back him, this club has done nothing other than go downwards.

it would appear that Mick is attempting to get to grips with copy and paste, but not the reply button. As expected. I could learn a thing or two from you about copy and paste, it's the only thing you know. You could always try defending the league position and mega-loss if you want to stop me repeating it, if not then just bury your head back in the sand, content that you've got a chairman who can do no wrong in your eyes, hypocrite.

-18 league places, -£millions going into keep Cameron Hall afloat and Shepherds pension fund swelling, defend that, I forgot, you've never defended Shepherd have you? You mustn't have as you said that earlier today so it must be true.

You set the standards when it comes to being boring, do you have to practice or does it come natural? -18 places and £millions to prop up Cameron Hall and the Shepherd pension fund, care to comment? Why did our best players and managers want to leave the club ie Cox, Lee, Beardsley, Waddle, Gazza during your golden era and now they don't - care to comment ? I see you still don't answer the earlier question from begbie etc, its because you don't know isn't it Stop living in the past, we're 2nd bottom of the division and showing no signs of getting out of trouble while you just keep defending Shepherd.

You set the standards when it comes to being boring, do you have to practice or does it come natural? -18 places and £millions to prop up Cameron Hall and the Shepherd pension fund, care to comment?

I think we're not getting the results because the players are lacking motivation and we're tactically shite as well as being light in front of goal. We appeared to be second to every ball yesterday and didn't know what to do when we did get to it first. I don't know if the players have a lack of self belief, it appears that they do as we created nothing at all going forward, we didn't look like scoring. The players we have at the club are better than 0-1 at home to Sheffield United, if Roeder can't do better then he should go, that then gives us the problem of who we would appoint and that's where binning Shepherd would come into it. I don't think any self respecting manager will come anywhere near us while he's here and our last two appointments are what I use to back that up. Would Shepherd have appointed Souness if he could have done better? Would Shepherd have appointed Roeder if he could have done better? I doubt both, if I'm right then it's got to be down to people not wanting to work with Shepherd, it can't be the shit stadium because it isn't shit. It can't be because we can't attract good players because we've done it, it can't be because of the fans because rightly or wrongly we've got a good reputation, it can only be because of Shepherd unless I've missed something.

The only answers you have are to things that you want to answer, you'll not go anywhere near talking about Shepherds record at Newcastle as chairman unless it's to have a go at others who were in the job before him. -18 league places and - £millions being syphoned into Cameron Hall & Shepherd pension fund. You've got no spine and are now you're looking for people to hang on to, no spine and no credibility.

Tell us what you think of ANY Premiership issues. Your shout on Toon ARE Newcastle fans right to blame the board for the club's latest plight? The Toon went second bottom after lowly Sheffield United triumphed 1-0 at St James' Park. Magpies boss Glenn Roeder says criticism should be aimed at him following a Premiership start of just two wins and eight points from 11 games. But few managers other than Kevin Keegan and Bobby Robson have thrived at Newcastle over the past two decades. So should the board stand down for making the wrong choices? Or is stability the key - meaning Roeder, too, should be given more time? Click HERE - for possible inclusion in The Sun newspaper.

So Youre saying sack Mr Sheperd, and that will fix it? A DoF will take the heat of Mr Sheperd thats true. But he might do a better job in the transfer market, than Sheperd. He will also let the manager concetrate more on tactics, training and man management, instead of doing non football stuff. But thats my opinion. Do you even have one Mick? or do you just follow the rest and say OUT SHEPERD, OUT ROEDER, OUT WHO EVER IS HERE. Can you think for yourself, and come with some idea's of how to turn this club around. thats about the size of it http://images.google.co.uk/images?q=tbn:DWOIQIuC4WzszM:http://www.giftsheep.com/Images/BigSheep_01.gif Take your pick. http://img106.imageshack.us/img106/1677/ostrichbk3.jpg http://img522.imageshack.us/img522/7494/ostrich1bl1.th.jpg http://img106.imageshack.us/img106/1879/ostrich2bo9.jpg http://img106.imageshack.us/img106/1486/ostrich3jk6.jpg http://img522.imageshack.us/img522/6976/ostrich4hm1.jpg http://img112.imageshack.us/img112/5470/ostrich5lj9.jpg

Dozens of police officers, some on horseback, were sent to the stadium to disperse a crowd of as many as 1000 fans who bellowed "sack the board" after the club fell to 19th place in the Premiership. The protest followed the Magpies' 1-0 defeat to Sheffield United - newcomers to the league this season - plunging the club deeper into crisis after failing to win a league game on home turf since the opening day of the season. The defeat puts Newcastle clear of bottom club Charlton only on goal difference. Glenn Roeder's players were booed from the pitch as the crowd turned on chairman Freddy Shepherd, who is currently out of the country with his wife Lorelle, both during and after the game. After the final score was greeted angrily from the stands, hundreds made their way to the club's reception area to air their frustration. Steven Stevenson, 20, of Blyth, Northumberland, said: "We were all chanting `sack the board' and `Shepherd out'. They've got to go. "The players they've bought just don't want to play for the club, they play for their pay packet, and many of them are injured so are getting £60,000 a week for doing nothing." Hopes were raised that Newcastle would find their form once more, following a good performance in the UEFA Cup last Thursday, when Roeder's men beat Italian Serie A league leaders Palermo 1-0. Fan Steven Smith, 21, of Blyth, said: "They certainly haven't brought their form back from Italy. It was a poor performance. We've got to get Shepherd and the board out because they are wasting money on players." Gavin Wilson, 20, also of Blyth, agreed: "Over the last seven years they've spent £30m to £35m on rubbish players. "It's not Roeder's fault . . . it's the board. We want them out." Billy Lynn, 55, a supporter since 1962, of Birtley, Gateshead, said after the match: "I'm very disappointed. The club wants to have a harsh look at itself. "I don't think the manager's to blame but I think he should do the decent thing and resign because the players don't want to play for him and they've failed the Geordies for the last five seasons." Manager Glenn Roeder remained defiant, despite admitting that he could hear the fans' chants. He said: "I'd be a liar if I said I did not hear them. Of course I heard them, and the players all heard them as well. But - in capital letters - the responsibility for results is mine and nobody else's, and that is how it should be with a manager. "I do not feel under pressure, no. I have been around too long. I do not feel under pressure whatsoever. If I do not feel under pressure, I am not fearful of my job." Roeder, who has fought his way back to health following a brain tumour, said he was determined to turn the club's fortunes around. He said: "Three-and-a-half years ago I was flat on my back. I am standing up now, and it is great to get out of bed every day. I am not happy - really unhappy - with this situation. It is not nice, but it needs someone with broad shoulders, it needs players with broad shoulders. "They must not stand behind me. I will not let them stand behind me. They have to stand alongside me and come out fighting." A spokesman for Northumbria Police said four arrests were made outside the ground for drunk and disorderly behaviour. It may not be a tune to match the Blaydon Races, but the chant of "sack the board" is similarly steeped in Geordie culture. And its first airing at St James's Park yesterday for more than a decade and a half marked the return of the dark old days at Newcastle United. A whole generation of junior Magpie fans have grown up without raising their voices against the club's powers-that- be. But Newcastle's slump to within one place of the bottom of the Premiership prompted supporters young and old to vent their spleen, in time-honoured Geordie fashion, on chairman Freddy Shepherd. In the 1970s, it was Lord "The Pirate" Westwood who bore the brunt of fans' fury at Newcastle's slide into the old Second Division. In the late 1980s, barrister Gordon McKeag presided over another relegation which prompted a mood of all-out revolt on the terraces. Now, after 15-plus years of near-triumphant peaks and depressing troughs on the pitch- but little transition off it - rebellion is back in the air. And Shepherd, having entered the United boardoom courtesy of the coup which toppled McKeag, knows full well the power of the people on Tyneside. Although talk of a takeover has roused the fans to demand change, the man whose family made their name in scrap metal has seemed set on staying put at St James's. And, given that he was in Majorca rather than the director's box yesterday, it remains to be seen whether the ferocity of the fans' uprising against him will prompt a change of heart. But the Geordie electorate have spoken. And with history telling us their next move will be to vote with their feet, even darker days may lie ahead for Shepherd . . . and for Newcastle United.

Do you think Shepherd will allow somebody to do what he seems to like meddling in? I don't, I think he's an idiot who has the idea that he knows better than anybody else when it comes to running the club. He's stuck his nose in the managers business and would do the same to a Director of Football if he appointed one, he'd probably appoint a puppet, just like Roeder. A Director of Football is a good idea but I doubt it would work while Shepherd was pulling his strings. What makes you think a Director of Football would work? What difference would a Director of Football make regarding allowing Roeder to concentrate on tactics and man-management? I've seen no evidence that Roeder knows anything about either, do you think Shepherd is guiding Roeder in this? If not, then how would a Director of Football make a difference by allowing him to concentrate on them?

Just have a trail of pasties from Jesond to the nearest bonfire and you'll get the real thing.

A Director of Football wouldn't make the slightest difference to the club, he'd just be somebody to take the heat off Shepherd, nothing else.

I'm not sure if this is legal but as it contains only one name it should be OK. 1 2 Newcastle United - under Sir John Hall 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 ------------------------------------------------------------ 18 19 Newcastle United - under Shepherd 20

I think we shouldn't thank Ozzie the WUM for supporting Souness, he clearly has an input to the club and persuaded them to throw millions of quid at him and sell our best forward for peanuts. That's it, you've seriously lost the plot. bluebiggrin.gif

Try this: -18 leauge places, - £millions to prop up Cameron Hall and the Shepherd pension fund, heading for the second division, defend that. bluesleep.gif

What has that got to do with Shepherd and us being 2nd bottom of the league, we look like getting relegated while running up the biggest losses in the history of our club? That is one for your ally, the WUM to answer, who wanted it You're a hypocritical bottler who can't admit to being wrong about Shepherd, you've no credibility at all.
