Ash

Been thinking about this a lot earlier. Theoretically, couldn't Shearer approach Ashley and offer to become our temporary manager, without pay, until we're sold? I'm sure he could go without being paid for a few weeks. It also would bring so many benefits, not only to the club but it would work in his favour too. For example: Shearer starts work tomorrow. The players are happier because they've now got some direction and a figure who the vast majority want in charge, which should also persuade the likes of Taylor and Beye to stay at the club. Potential new owners are happier because at least the playing side of the club is now being looked after properly. This then looks good on Shearer's part (rolling his sleeves up and working for free to help the club out when things are really looking grim), putting him well and truly in the new owners' thoughts of who to appoint permanently. Is it really that far-fetched?

Why would they be asking to leave though? It wouldn't be down to relegation, it'd be down to him being a complete cunt and pissing around with the sale of the club.

:'( Sick to fucking death of this now. Reading that actually felt worse than relegation.

Didn't realise the Huddersfield game was on a Tuesday night, could have sworn it was a Wednesday. Will be definitely be making the trip now.

Loved my visit to the Olympic Stadium in Berlin last year. http://img.skysports.com/07/09/480/Hertha_Berlin_26263_569661.jpg I'll upload a video off my old phone tomorrow. Heading to the Amsterdam ArenA next month. Looks very colourful from the pics I've seen of it!

They haven't seen it then. As usual. Neither did the Telegraph: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/football/leagues/championship/newcastleunited/5805517/Rudderless-Newcastle-begin-life-after-the-Premier-League.html That line in the Telegraph is such a sack of shit.

We were playing Shamrock Rovers, in a friendly.

Don't know how that happened.

Journal - Preferred bidder recommended Chronicle - Preferred bidder not yet recommended

Plymouth home game sounds good for me Sounds good to me too. Would prefer the Sunday than the Saturday though. I think Rich may be back by then too.

This, from the other thread.

Disappointed we've missed out on him. Working under Shearer could have made him into a brilliant player. give me a fucking break

If we couldn't be set apart from the crowd when it comes to Championship spending, I'd be seriously worried about the financial clout of the new owner(s)!

aye. hopefully getting my bike fixed.

Going home quietly was probably one of contributing factors as to why we went down. This type of stuff is what I like to see in training. As long as they're doing the hard work too (which it looks like they are from the pics).

Sunday 30th August? Day before the Leicester home game.

Nixon now looks like the biggest cunt ever. At least when Rich, Dave and myself return for the next game (I'd guess it's quite probable anyway) he will more than likely have fucked off back to the Reds, the traitorous twat.

Watching his interview on SSN is really starting to boil my piss. He's sat there with a massive grin on his face all of the way through it, cunt.

Fucking hell, this club. Really don't know what to make of this. Guess we'll see what happens over the coming days (hopefully it'll be days anyway, we can't afford this to drag on much longer).

Stuck a patriotic £20 on the U21's to do the business in 90 minutes tonight.

'Lost' passport. I bet he's gutted that he's stranded in the Caribbean instead of returning for pre-season training.

Seems quite strange that they're put that on their official website. It's only a fan's blog, not an actual scouting report.

Dreading this, we're fucking shit. Nailed on to go down if we lose.

I thought exactly the same. With it coming from Caulkin, I believe it's actually quite trustworthy too.
