ohmelads Posted June 1, 2009 Share Posted June 1, 2009 Chris Mort? If Keegan was lied to about "the system" then Mort probably told him more lies than anyone else. Wasn't Mort involved in the takeover? The one where hundreds of millions were spent buying a football club without even completing due dilligence, meaning Ashley bought the club without even knowing the debt it was in? An act of massive incompetence, and one that has cost us dearly. Once Ashley paid off this unexpected debt, he never put another penny into the club, and indeed sought to make a profit through transfers, spending absolutely nothing (net) on players in his whole two years here. Did any club in the Premier League spend less than us in the last two years? IF Mort was involved in that takeover, signing the club over without even looking at the books, then he's very culpable.

Stu Posted June 1, 2009 Share Posted June 1, 2009 An American view... Newcastle's darkest day: Who's to blame? It was with heavy hearts that most neutral soccer fans laid their heads to rest on Sunday evening. The events of the day in the English Premier League had seen the much-loved Newcastle club have their hopes boosted by a spectacular Manchester United goal at Hull, only to see them dashed by a cruelly deflected own-goal at Aston Villa, which put an end to their top flight existence. In the aftermath of this catastrophe the hot dogs on the Memorial Day barbecue didn’t quite taste the same while Tyneside fans were facing up to life in the far less glamorous Championship after living the good life for the last 16 years. Indeed it was only four years ago that the northeast club was considered as one of English football’s "top five" -- a quintet of teams who were the only ones capable of winning the Premiership. That "top five" was soon reduced as the Geordies drifted out of the financial reckoning, leaving a Gang of Four -- Liverpool, Chelsea, Manchester United and Arsenal as the only clubs capable of winning England’s top prize. It has been suggested that the Gunners are about to be cut adrift as the other three continue to monopolize the money and success -- a notion which may be confirmed in the coming season (all of which is a good advertisement of the American style salary cap). So who is to blame for the demise of Newcastle United? ... ... ... Possibly no one. The truth is that the modern day club needs an economist as much as someone who can put the ball in the net. And perhaps clubs like Newcastle (and Leeds) need to return to bygone times when they produced their own talent (with the aid of proper coaching) instead of importing expensive foreigners with no real connection to their employers other than the pay check. Of the future of his beloved Newcastle, Shearer said on Sunday, "It needs to be filled with people who love this club. We have to get over what happened at Aston Villa. We need to look at it with a clear head. I will give them (the owners) my opinion on what is wrong and what needs to be done.” Those of us saddened by the plight of Newcastle United certainly hope he gets it right.
