I'm hearing Celtic have applied to take their place in the next round.

Carr simply does as he's told which is to buy young, Foreign players for as little an outlay as possible, from smaller leagues who will then in turn make the club a tidy profit 2-3 years down the line. You simply can't run a football club in this way when this is your only transfer strategy. It's just not flexible at all and has left us in a position where we have a young squad, devoid of any leadership which regularly goes on ridiculous losing runs because there's no figurehead(s) in the dressing room to get the players back on track. You can see it on the pitch. We go a goal down, heads drop and there's not a single player on that pitch who is capable of getting a reaction from his teammates and taking the game by the scruff of the neck. The fundamental problem is that NUFC is not run like a football club and decisions are not made for footballing reasons. It's always going to be a recipe for disaster.

Why pointless ? Because the wider fanbase won't bother to get themselves involved and support them.

Decent enough read if rather pointless; http://ashleyout.com/articles/deja-vu/

Wor lass was wanting to enrol the bairn in that Field House nursery over the road from the training ground in January. I'll be putting a stop to that now.

I think people overestimate how good out team/squad is. I'd say we arguably have the worst goalkeeper (excluding Krul who won't play again this season), the worst back 4, the worst central midfield and possibly, potentially a mid table strike force.

I'm hearing he has 3 games to save his job and that Lawrie Sanchez has already been sounded out about replacing him.

So was Abied.

Exactly this there's no way I'd put myself in the limelight and be subject to the abuse that this piece of shiit gets for 250 quid a day f*** that What abuse is he getting other than a few people calling him little Mike and Penfold on the internet? I could take that for £80k a year. I've only been at work for an hour this morning and someone's already called me a c*nt.

f***ing exactly. Taking abuse from TCD in spades yesterday for saying this exact thing in a different way. He's a football manager/coach and he should be able to affect some kind a change to our predicament with alterations in tactics and personnel but he just picks more or less the same team every week. Apparently him not doing any of those things that even fat f***ing Sam has started doing is all down to Ashley and Charnley. It's mental, it's the same excuses Pardew used to trot out for himself but people are actually doing it for McClaren You can only coach players who want to be coached. These players couldn't care less, hence the reason we go on these ridiculous losing streaks, get hammered on a regular basis, have been in a relegation fight the last 3 seasons and have allowed an awful Sunderland team to beat us 6 times in a row.

Definitely agree with the bit in bold but the clowns who occupy the stands at SJP these days will turn on him before they turn on Ashley/Charnley/Carr/the "players", all of whom are more culpable than McClaren.

You need to dig a bit deeper. It's 2 wins in 14 and something like 5 wins in 2015. 2014 was a hopeless year as well. Ok so Pardew, Carver and McClaren are never going to be managing a title winning side any time soon but the players need to take a massive share of the blame here. They've failed 3 managers now and for the vast majority of the past 3 years they've barely broken sweat. Some of them are being paid more than £250,000 a month and they aren't even trying. Aye Ashley has picked some poor managers (and the blame for this mess ultimately is at his door) but those players are an absolute disgrace. No coincidence that once we go a goal down it's game over because the players just down tools yet a Pardew team went a goal down against us yesterday and then preceded to rattle in 5 in return. We need to start signing proper players and proper men. Not cheap fannies from the Dutch and French League.

The players should be booed onto the pitch, heckled throughout, and then booed off the pitch as well. We'll lose anyway so it's not like getting behind them will make a difference. It's about time the public started to make these impostors feel a little uncomfortable. They've had it too easy for too long.

I packed in my season ticket in the summer. A huge positive.

Can't see the point in sacking him just to replace him with another loser.

Liverpool and Spurs up next........

JUDGE HIM AFTER 10 GAMES!!!

This could get interesting come 5pm. I think McClaren could have a bit of explaining to do.

Can't remember Keegan ever saying anything I didn't agree with. There's not a person on the planet who understands Newcastle United like he does.

Biggest budget in the league, highest gates, it's hardly any great acheivement to get them to the top of the league. Any idiot should be able to get then promoted. Staggering that we appointed a clown who couldn't even get them into the playoffs (after he'd already turned us down twice as well). I had no idea about the resources he'd had like but it's just another example of a coach we could all have potentially got behind. I mean if you go for potential and there's a rocky start I'm sure we'd all be up for giving him time, but with McClaren we know his history and without decent investment it's not getting much better is it? Even with decent investment I can't see it getting much better. The club is rotten from top to bottom, a losers mentality runs right through it. We can spend as much money as we like but if you have the wrong people in charge of buying the wrong players who are coached by the wrong manager it's going to be relegation battles year in, year out until we finally drop. I think this will be the season that happens. The whole ethos of the club needs changed but sadly that isn't going to happen until Ashley sells up.

There isn't a single player there worthy of the captaincy. Squad full of cowards with the exception of Perez.

Tbf there has been nothing to suggest that this group of players is anything other than relegation fodder. Other than Perez there is a worrying lack of quality running throughout the squad and when you couple that with the lack of commitment on show with a manager (head coach) unable to motivate them I can only see relegation as the outcome.

“Sadly, they won’t stop coming to games. I think if ever they did boycott a game completely, I think it would get the stronger message across". Just wish more people would get their heads around this. As long as 47,000+ are turning up every week Ashley doesn't need to change a thing. If his team is playing to an empty stadium every week he needs to change everything. Hopefully the happy clappers will take heed of Keegans wise words.

Certain it happened at this one as well mind; www.nufc.com/html/2008-09html/2008-09-20west-ham-a.html
