Tyneside hopes

 

Newcastle United 1 Sheffield Wednesday 0

 

George Caulkin Times

 

Newcastle United is a club on the cusp of possibility. Barry Moat, for the second game in succession, was in the directors’ box at St James’ Park last night. Alan Shearer was present, Mike Ashley was not and a victorious team was hailed by a raucous and ridiculously deserving crowd. The sense of what could be was palpable.

 

And, yet, at present, they are also teetering on a precipice. Moat’s discussions with Barclays Bank about financing his prospective takeover of Newcastle are still to bring resolution, Shearer, his choice of manager, was merely a passionate spectator and Ashley’s absence was not significant. So near and all that.

I really don't see it.  Not with all the speculation and the questions.  And with Moat there too and Ashley conspicuously absent. 

 

And I was at the game so I'm the new tea lady. Fact.  :sadnod:

IMO the club was sold in principle to Moat on friday subject to agreement with Barclays. I think there are now just a few loose ends to tie :snod: up.

Agreed, but as for Moat and Shearer being at a Toon home game then I certainly would'nt read much into that considering their always there :cheesy:

Campbell and Lvenkrands in

 

Beckford in by next week plus three other signings already lined up.

 

Carver and Lee to the club next week, Hughton to stay, Calderwood to go

 

Deal is done. Taylor is staying and Shearer will be in o0n thursday. At the game to watch tomorrow night

I know Shearer would obviously turn up to watch the toon but I'd assumed he'd be on MOTD.
