Dan Gleebals Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 food for thought. At the end of the day, a player on a contract for 4 years, is not going anywhere unless we get the right price for them - fact. Owen, Viduka, off = good Oba - tough one - he likes it here - but that much? Love - he is not going to sign for a club in the championship. Shola and Carrol to stay = FUCK SHIT CUNT BOLLOCKS ARSE DUFF, Butt, Jonas - OFF Barton, maybe he would stay along side Githrie R Taylor - no choice but to stay Nolan - think he would, seems an honest bloke Zog - oh, he already left Geremi - sipping cocktails I suggest (retired) Taylor "I am a geordie, but prone to being shit" will feel at home in the fizzy league Colo - cannot speak english, just tell him we are still in the premiership Bassong - he is too good - off Jose - I think he would stay Harper - at least 40 games as no 1. Krul - cannot get a game even in the championship = off Fraser - no 2 to Harper The rest, who knows (and I am not refering to players) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shay Given left even before relegation was an issue and he was a Tyneside hero. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest gggg Posted March 6, 2009 Share Posted March 6, 2009 This is why we wouldnt come back up straight. We'd have far more rebuilding to do than any other club (probably ever) with at least 20 players going in or out. Stoke, West Brom, Hull + the whole of the championship would keep their managers and only lose 1 or 2 players so they've got a massive head start (years in some cases) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
merlin Posted March 6, 2009 Share Posted March 6, 2009 The club will be down for 4 or years, and any decent players will be gone(those who have got Enrique still in the side after relegation are living in dreamland). Many of you are in for the most enormous culture shock and reality check if the club is relegated, and Ashley will be gone soonest - he may have to cut his losses to sell, but then, he's getting used to that..!!

Guest Brazilianbob Posted March 6, 2009 Share Posted March 6, 2009 I think if we go down, then Ashley WILL spend to get us back up and possibly to keep us in the league. After all, he wants to make money? Well surely getting to and staying in the Premier League is a sound investment? I think we will lose alot of players, but we would also get a new start. It could actually be really good thing for us in a few years when we look (im well aware it wont be when its happening). One of the key things about a new start, is a proper manager btw, but I guess we cant win them all. The same flawed reasoning keeps arising every transfer window. Now we are talking about buying players to get us out of the Championship, but everyone conveniently forgets that it doesn't matter how much money you have, if the players are any good they will want to play in the EPL and simply won't sign for us in the Championship. We will have to get used to the idea of losing out on signing decent players to teams like Wigan and Bolton FFS. We will then end up forking out a fortune for slightly above average players of Championship standard, with no guarantee of being able to claw our way back into the EPL. That is why it is essential we avoid dropping out of the EPL in the first instance. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest battyleespeed Posted March 7, 2009 Share Posted March 7, 2009 I don't think it's that much about the players than what it is about the organization. As the previous seasons have shown if the club management and organization (directors, manager, coaches, scouts, etc.) isn't up to the task the squad quality becomes almost irrelevant. You should discuss whether the current management and organization would be good enough for winning promotion straight back up. I think most already know the answer for that... More importantly the question should be: Would Ashley leave with yet another backlash from the supporters? He might still own the club but probably would delegate its management, keep losses at minimum and simply not be bothered anymore (this was his exact reaction with KK's case). If he loses his motivation to run the club there won't be any direction in the management and the few emergency resources he has provided would be more or less gone. This Ameobi/Carroll/Barton/blah/blah endless shuffling of player names is just b****t FM daydream wanking to be honest. It's fun pre-matches but that's not where the necessary big changes will come about. The players won't make the biggest difference... I think in this case all the dedication and change must to come from top to down so the biggest difference is MA and the people he has in the management positions.

Mistle17 Posted March 7, 2009 Share Posted March 7, 2009 If we go down I could see the fans (those that will be left) make a real push for gaining control of the club. Yes, it will be very hard but I can see mass rallies, protests, and plans happening.....imo. The players that I think would leave would be: Bassong, Coloccini, Beye, Enrique, Duff, Barton, Nolan, Martins, Owen (leaving anyway), Viduka (same as Owen), Jonas, S.Taylor, Xisco, Smith, Ameobi (because of his insane wages, and Cacapa. The 'maybes' would be: Geremi, Haper and Guthrie. I could see Lovenkrands given a permanent deal (and rightly so, he'd be canny in the Championship), though. So pretty much, as people have said before me, we'll lose almost our whole squad. Take all those away from an already very small squad then we're in trouble....or Ashley is. We'll have players like Lua Lua, Edgar, Carroll, R.Taylor and Krul (please god) still with us but it will be very, very tough. Then we'll have the likes of Kadar, Ranger, Godsmark, Forster and maybe a couple of others being given a sniff of 1st team football. This could be a part of Ashley's plan.....as it would be very cost reducing filling lots of the whole's with young lads already at the club. I would be a wee bit surprised if Harper stayed at NUFC. He might think to himself that he has one last chance to knock on the England door and he wont do that in the Championship.....plus a host of PL clubs will be sniffing around for him on the cheap. Going down would be an utter disaster, imo and it could take a while for the club to recover from it. We can easily have a clear out this summer without getting relegated, anyway.

We'll lose a hell of a lot of money next season should the worst happen. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
