IMHO the worst money we have ever spent good riddance.

Would sell without hesitation and in the fizzy pop we need grafters and clever footballers and he is neither imho and tbh he will be gone anyway so its not gonna be a problem.

Top tittle tattle from todays tabloids Newcastle are continuing to talk to Alan Shearer about the club's future as it emerged they could yet be sold The 38-year-old held lengthy talks with owner Mike Ashley and managing director Derek Llambias over his future at the training ground yesterday, with the Magpies later confirming that discussions would continue. However, it is understood at the same time, Keith Harris, chairman of investment bank Seymour Pierce, which was engaged to sell the club last year, had also travelled to the north-east to hold talks with a potential buyer. Harris is believed to have discussed the club with representatives of a consortium who could be interested in launching a bid. He scoured the world looking for buyers after being asked to do so by Ashley in the wake of Kevin Keegan's departure as manager last September with Newcastle fans in open revolt. Seven different consortia were provided with prospectuses outlining details of the club's financial standing, with groups from Nigeria and South Africa having been linked with buy-out bids. However, in the event, none of the interested parties came up with an acceptable deal and Ashley took the club off the market at the end of December, vowing to drive the club forward. Newcastle owner Mike Ashley (right, sitting next to chariman Derek Llambias Get me out of here: Newcastle owner Mike Ashley (right, sitting next to managing director Derek Llambias) could yet sell the club He appointed Shearer as short-term manager in April after Joe Kinnear underwent heart surgery, but even he could not prevent Newcastle slipping out of the top flight at the end of a turbulent campaign. Relegation could cost the Magpies an estimated £50million, and has significantly reduced the market value of a business for which the owner paid an initial £134.4million two years ago before ploughing in another £110million to address its debts and reshape the squad. Whether or not Shearer is appointed manager, whoever is in charge will have to severely trim a wage bill of more than £70million and rebuild the team for a very different challenge in the Coca-Cola Championship.

Fuck me so the piss taking is making you blame someone else well atleast you can get laughed at by your school mates next week

Got the right to your own opinion now fuck off

yeah but you would get arrested for public indecency tbh

"He was the answer to people like Roman Abramovich. "I didn't go down this road lightly. But what were the alternatives?" laughable in hindsight with Ashleys pitiful cash backing and the second bit was a case of take the money and run imho

Never thought i would say it but some good can come from this a total rebuild and Ashley sells up hopefully.

Why exactly does he have to apologise ,he is finished at premier league level but he tries his hardest so why get on his back ffs .

IMHO he will get sold like a lot of the high wage earners if anyone will take them,never been a traditional toon centre forward obviously those days are gone but we need a regular scorer and he just didnt do that and the occasional goal just isnt good enough.

Blefuscu for taking the bait from NE5

Great report and doesnt he hate Colo

Ahhh the rent-a-mong brigade. Always guaranteed to make Newcastle fans look like arseholes. Oi language mrs thought you were a lady

I was so pissed i cannot remember if i cried or not.

Bag of nerves now gonna go out on the lash

JEEEZUZ! Thats rich coming from freddy Shepherd. Absolutely. The longer Freddie stayed in the job, the worse he became, and the prime reason was he would never learn. Whenever something went wrong, it would be someone else's fault and the solution was always to acquire more power for himself. To me with the appointment of Allardyce and the admittance for a more prudent approach showed that he had realised his past mistakes. I'm not sure the appointment was down to him realising he needed to take a more prudent approach. Shepherd tended to swing wildly between managerial appointments based on the reactions to our teams - Dalglish - Keegan's team played nice open attacking football but a little poor defensively so let's appoint a guy who knows how to get teams playing as a tight defensive unit. Gullit - Oh s***! Dalglish's team is crap to watch, better get in some Sexy Football Robson - OK, so Gullit didn't work, let's go the man who knows everything about football Souness - Robson lost the dressing room, we need a disciplinarian Roeder - OK, so Souness was a lunatic who alienated almost everyone, let's go for Mr Nice Guy Allardyce - Mr Nice Guy was too nice & we're 20 years behind other teams when it comes to training techniques. People keep talking about these Pro Licenses, Allardyce has one & he was in line for the England job, he'll bring us up-to-date For what it's worth I think Shepherd would have sacked Allardyce before the end of last season for the same reasons that we got rid of Souness, we were s*** to watch and the players were clearly unable to follow his instructions, whatever they were. Very good points and i must say just about right on all counts but its his financial stuff that dragged us down .

Gonna walk the dog and go out on the hoy see yas later pissed and unable to spell

I used to sing this in the dark days of Mckeag and co and its pretty apt just now

Who wears the pants

FFs shut up im trying to stay positive

I reckon the Premier League has managed OK without Wolves for 16 of its 17 years existence. Big club, my arse. Thanks for that Taffywolf as you can tell BOLTONZULU is not a Toon fan and Wolves will be a great addition to the prem at the expense of Hull if we make it.

Dropped the wife and kidds off for a trip to London and driving back saw loads of people waiting to get picked up and hope its not a long trip home for you guys

The toon for me and hopefully topless totty on the phone box in the Bigg market
