  1. well I think defeat maybe on the cards,Jones will be nowt but trouble and perhaps it will be the only way to finally wake those in charge up at the club, not looking foreward to this at all.

  2.  

     

    All very well in theory, but in many ways, the horse has bolted...

    Our reputation today has declined further, so it will be even more of an uphill task - and take years - to persuade young players that we are a club they should join instead of Arsenal, Man U, Liverpool etc.

     

     

    the problem being trying to get through to kids and parents that they may have more opportunity at the B&W's/ lower league clubs as opposed to those mentioned.

  3. do we need to spend a lot of money on fancy dan players to have a decent team, what  would Kaka do for our club at the mo along with Robinho would these type of  players be any good in the trenches .We've always had a "star" type players in the past and still nowt was achieved so perhaps a decent/honest eleven at reasonable wages and cost may be the better option.

  4. the question is what can be done to change the club around not your a knacker for thinking outside the box to enable us to change.

     

    If you want to see whats coming we must look in the past. A lot of us have been here before and have the T Shirt whilst a lot of guys/gals may not have, if Ashley doesn't sort himself out along with Wise and the rest then potentially once again we will return to a perilous state.

     

    Below is the situation we were in in the 90's nowt changes flogging players bringing in crap poor management ,share wars you name it as we know we've been there before,the question is will a new Messiah emerge.

    For me things at the mo are looking similar and with one guy holding all the cards there is very little we can do,yes we call each other etc etc but what can we actually do?.

    With crowds previously below 10,000, Keegan captivated everyone on Tyneside and United stormed into the top division in a style only bettered by Kevin's own brand of football in the next decade. Alongside Keegan were youngsters Peter Beardsley and Chris Waddle, as well as seasoned campaigners like Terry McDermott and David McCreery.

     

    Paul Gascoigne soon followed, as did Jack Charlton as manager. Newcastle consolidated their place in Division One but then a period of selling their best players - Beardsley, Waddle and Gazza - rocked the club, as did a share-war for control of Newcastle United.

     

    The Magpies tumbled back into the Second Division and were in a perilous state. They had little money, star players headed south and crowds dwindled. With the club hovering on the brink, Newcastle United needed a saviour. They not only found one, but two, as Sir John Hall and Kevin Keegan joined forces to create a formidable duo.

     

    When Keegan returned to Tyneside to replace Ossie Ardiles (under whom crowds had again plummeted to below 15,000) as manager on a short term contract in 1992, United were struggling at the wrong end of Division Two. Sir John had all but taken control of the club and he needed a small miracle to stop the Magpies from tumbling into the Third Division for the very first time in their history.

  5. Aye right..

    Newcastle United keen on Distin reunion

    10:00 AM 12 January, 2009

    Newcastle United Football Club are keen to take Sylvain Distin this month.

     

    The French defender enjoyed a successful loan spell at St James Park during the 2001/02 season, when he made 28 Premier League appearances.

     

    United were keen to take him on a permanent deal from Paris St Germain that summer, but the player instead opted to sign for Manchester City.

     

    Distin moved to Portsmouth when his contract expired in 2007, but reports are now suggesting the Magpies hope to take the 31-year-old back to Tyneside in a £3million deal this month.

     

     

    smacks of desperation 3mil for a 31yr old,btw carlisle boards are claiming Westwood to us for 4mill and they want to keep Krul
