Just said on radio Newcastle that Llambias said it was Joe Kinnears suggestion to bring Shearer in.

Llambiarse is just trying to be fair to Joe, considering the circumstances, and everyone concerned is being non-commital till we get out of this mess. He will not be managing us next season, but he will not be sacked either. That's what I think anyway. He will probably be moved into a scouting role or similar. His exact words were, "He needs to concentrate on making a full recovery before his return in the summer as our manager." which he will be, when Shearers contract runs out, and then they will probably all agree that he should be moved into another role. This is probably why Llambiarse disappeared so he did not have to answer questions about it.

Great news. Works all round. What are the chances he will ask for Gary Speed to come in as assistant?

That's not his concern though. He wants to kneecap the Premier League.

Sounds like he is talking about reccomending socialism. It won't work in football.

this and this.

How would they have done it? By borrowing more money? From who? We had already spent the sponsorship money, and Northern Rock itself was no longer in a position to help. We were in debt, losing money and their appointment Allardyce was not taking the club forward. There was no money left to back the managers with. So how would they have done it? Anyway, I agree with the above comment they are history, and there is no point to keep going over the past. But they were given a lot longer to get it right, and in the latter part definately did not.

erm, so why did you mention him twice before that?

Thanks.

Only I don't own the site and never really did either. Oh, I thought you did or jointly did set it up anyway, sorry. Who does then? Nah, far too lazy for that and to be honest it would need an editor to hack away at it as it is quite long and unreadable in parts. Well, ask people on here to sort it out to something readable then. It only needs tweaking... why be so negative?

Does anyone know, are there different transfer rules for youth players? This is outside of the transfer window.

Why don't you just ask Lee Ryder or Luke Edwards if they will publish it in the paper? Shy bairns get nowt. It is worth asking. As the owner of this website I am sure they would at least consider it. You have made some good points and speak for many of us.

Come on woman man. We're shit as fuck but he'd still drop Swansea like Xisco to come here. I don't know for sure that he would. I would like to think that he would but I am not convinced - the threat of relegation is very real this season. There is an outside chance we could swap places with Swansea. He is worth an approach though, definately.

I don't think Martinez would join us unless we were already safe. Why would he take the risk of being relegated? Maybe at the end of the season, but right now he is a rising star, why would he want it extinguished?

Keegan walked before he got a chance to fix it.

This is boring. CMON!!!

Well, not entirely, because we still do not have cover at left back. Would not be so important if Insomnia would play there when needed without whining as much, but there we go. No news on loaning Riise? That seemed like a good move. I am glad they are attempting to address some of the issues but January is always a difficult time for transfers anyway.

Fair weather supporter! Shame on you Gabby.

not a chance. Not unless the owner does not care about being popular with the fans and just sticks with a manager they believe in. Looks like we need this kind of manager like Moyes who can manage on a shoestring and steadily improve until such time that the club is in a healthier financial position. This could take a few years and would take patience that I do not believe our fans have got enough of. Most fans of most clubs are the same now, but some owners are prepared to take the wrath of the fans for the short term, while quietly building for the longer term.

SLK: It's probably indigestion

It is extremely wrong for anyone not to like football, male or female. I think some women just act dumb on purpose mind. Especially some of my friends whenever football is mentioned. What drives me mental though is when people go on about how much they don't like it. No ones forcing them to like it, are they?
