Cardiff will fade as per usual, Forest are just a massive squad full of average to good players, I hope Leicester do it. Obviously WBA and you will take the automatic spots, or so it appears.

If you called yrself a Newcastle fan, lived in Newcastle, but yr last match was spent in the Sunderland end at SoL and yr not going to a few Newcastle home games, would you be a Mackem in disguise?

Lloyd Doyley

He never managed them, played 4 games, though.

It'd be refreshing if a TV pundit called a spade a spade. They should get Ron Atkinson on there. Beat me to it.

Wouldn't be able to move before the end of the season, plus just basically wouldn't. He's being paid a reasonable wage at Southampton and with their 'plans', I can't see anyone leaving other than possibly Lallana/Schneiderlin, but even then, they'd be to big clubs.

If we go up. There are so many Championship players with bags of potential. Some of the best players in the Prem were playing in lower leagues until there mid-twenties. Now there are plenty who are considered £10 million+ players. Yep, where did Jagielka and Lescott come from?

An excellent article I suggest you read: http://www.twohundredpercent.net/?p=4096

John-Joe O'Toole. Fucking hell, you must be desperate.

We paid £500k in loan and agent fees to keep Cleverley for the whole season; why would we send him back? Similar for Lansbury and Helguson. Would rather send Ellington, Sadler and Eustace to the local skip. Lloyd Doyley is a great young player with lots of potential, goal-scoring full-back, we'd probable settle for a cut-price £6M, though I heard Barcelona are very interested. (Scott Loach, Lee Hodson, Aidy Mariappa, Ross Jenkins. All good young players with lots of potential.)

Last good Chairman we had. Petchey, Timperley, Simpson, Russo etc... all shit.

Yes, us fans choose our owners. We choose to sign Nathan Ellington. We choose to have a 'black hole' in which the money from promotion 'ring-fenced' for the stadium (cough Ashton + Simpson's pockets) goes. We've chosen this. I crave success. No, I fucking didn't, I'd be happy to see us finish 21st in the Championship every season fielding a team from the academy. I'd love that. I don't have a fucking choice though. Just like Newcastle fans were/are to blame for the mess Newcastle got into, aye? Media was happy to badmouth everyone on Tyneside and blame the fans for everything when in all reality it was poor management for years that made our mess. In all seriousness though GG I think that your club has been shafted by the blokes who resigned. Hope it doesn't end too badly for you. I don't think the Russos can be blamed entirely. We've been shafted by every single board at some stage or another.

I actually don't care what happens to us as long as we remain in existence. I'll support the team and go to games regardless of what league we're in. Graham Taylor though, utter legend.

Lots can happen between now and Tuesday morning (which is the earliest we can be put in admin, I think?).

I doubt admin will happen, posturing and rather risky "chess" moves will continue at least until Tuesday. Russos seem to be being exposed as wankers, but Ashcroft is no better really, being forced at such a late stage to actually stump up enough to save us. Not good, though, but not as bad as some may think.

You don't know what's happening, the media doesn't know what's happening, I don't know what's happening, stop talking as though we're fucking out of existence. Administration isn't the end, countless clubs have been in and 'risen from the ashes'. Stop talking utter shit. Thx. (general point, also)

Big chess game going on. Lots of posturing, not too many facts coming out. Would be wrong to speculate right now.

unfounded ITK rumour: we're definitely not going into admin.

Bristol, Sunderland, Plymouth, Milton Keynes. Interesting. (Who missed out?)

Nothing of the sort. The Russos will be back in charge this time next week.

Don't be such a fucking cunt. Portsmouth should pay us what they owe us tbh.

It's all posturing. Basically the Russos own 32% or something and Simpson and Ashton own 59% or something. They latter camp aren't letting anything move forward so the Russos have called in the loan either to provoke them into action, or to make them sell their shares. It'll be 'ok'.

Bialkowski did better.

Sounds like Simpson and Ashton have joined forces, Ashcroft's man has buggered off. Fuck knows what's happening, but this isn't good at all.
