Mole_Toonfan Posted April 25, 2015 Share Posted April 25, 2015 Still really can't see it, the teams below are absolutely awful the mere fact we still are not in the relegation positions to begin with says it all. Although i struggle to give a shit anyway. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karjala Posted April 25, 2015 Share Posted April 25, 2015 Burnley and QPR are surely gone, or at least won't catch us. Can the mackems pick up 6 pts between now and the end of the season? Not impossible Will Leicester pick up another 5pts - quite likely Will Hull pick up another 4pts? - doubt it Will Villa pick up another 3pts? - quite likely.

toontownman Posted April 25, 2015 Share Posted April 25, 2015 We are the only team with no fight, no fight at all. With the teams we will surrender points to in our last few fixtures I'd say relegation is highly likely. Cue fire sale and who we will be left with I'm the squad threads. Won't be much different than today's squad minus dejong, Janmaat, kruL, Cabella and perez. We won't come back up this time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sunderland only need 5 pts to catch us, we only have a +2 advantage over them in GD and if they catch us in points, it's highly unlikely we would still be ahead in GD.

Guest Hog Posted April 25, 2015 Share Posted April 25, 2015 Would relegation get rid of Ashley? I don't see how, especially while he's able to coin off the parachute payments. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
toontownman Posted April 25, 2015 Share Posted April 25, 2015 Would relegation get rid of Ashley? I don't see how, especially while he's able to coin off the parachute payments. Why would it. The only thing that will hurt Ashley is the club not making him money. Fans will still be out in droves to watch us in the championship again.

Exactly, I can't see how anything other than an empty stadium and no season ticket renewals would make him even bat an eye. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
afar Posted April 25, 2015 Share Posted April 25, 2015 If we could be certain of Ashley selling up if we got relegation, I would and probably most sane people on here, pray for relegation. Unfortunately there is not, and he'll expect to bounce back up again, should it happen. The only real hope we have of Ashley going is a wealthy buyer giving him the price he wants, that buyer won't offer the price for a championship club.

Collage Posted April 25, 2015 Share Posted April 25, 2015 Think we'll end up 16th. Hull or the mackems to go down with QPR and Burnley. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Gleebals Posted April 25, 2015 Share Posted April 25, 2015 Fact, we would not bounce back. Terrible squad in the first place. Would only get worse. We really are in the shot, why cannot so man. people see this? I can understand those thinking a relegation would get rid of Ashley, it won't. I also think we would take along time to recover.

Stifler Posted April 25, 2015 Share Posted April 25, 2015 I support the boycott and wanting Ashley out. However I can't support the sentiment of our own fans wanting us to go down. Relegation won't get rid of Ashley, not unless we are down for a good few years. By then it's us who suffers, there is no garuntee of us coming back up. I want Ashley gone, but I want is to win every game we can, ok so this season I'll settle for a few alternative results to send Sunderland down, but not at our expense. A point against Liecester would be good for us, a point to put our head above water and virtually garuntee Premier League football next year, and a point that would hopefully fuck over Sunderland. Ideally we need a win frm somewhere. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted April 25, 2015 Share Posted April 25, 2015 I'd like to see us get as close as possible without actually going down. It's what everyone connected with the club at present deserves. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest neesy111 Posted April 25, 2015 Share Posted April 25, 2015 Why does it matter the division we are in when there's no sporting ambition at the club? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest axel Posted April 25, 2015 Share Posted April 25, 2015 Exactly. Would rather take league two or conference with ambition at this point. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

midds Posted April 25, 2015 Share Posted April 25, 2015 I think I'd rather follow my team and support it the way I used to in trying to get out of the 3rd Division without Ashley rather than have no connection whatsoever and passively watch us go through the motions year after year after year with Ashley still here. I know it's not as easy as that but I want to feel part of Newcastle United again. At the minute I feel nothing, win () or lose, and I want that emotion back again regardless of the cost. Not saying I'm actively wanting us to go down but I wouldn't give the first fuck if it happened. Desperate times need desperate solutions. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dokko Posted April 25, 2015 Share Posted April 25, 2015 WBA, WHU at home, Leicester and qpr away is the easiest run in any team has, no chance we won't pick up enough points. Somewhere between 18-50/1 for us to go down, those going for 8 upwards please put your money where you mouth is. Somehow I doubt your concern is that great.

LoveItIfWeBeatU Posted April 25, 2015 Share Posted April 25, 2015 It's hard to say which games will be difficult for the bottom teams. Sunderland have Arsenal and Chelsea to play but both those teams will probably have little to play for when Sunderland play them. It can work both ways, teams with nothing at stake can relax and play with no pressure or they switch off and pull out of challenges not wanting to risk an injury. You can bet Leicester will be fired up to play Nufc. Also, Fat Sam would love to send us down so he'll have West Ham wound up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Decky Posted April 25, 2015 Share Posted April 25, 2015 Before I thought there was no chance this would happen, but I'm worried now. We're definitely finishing no higher than 17th. If the mackems can manage 7 points we're going down. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
maze Posted April 25, 2015 Share Posted April 25, 2015 Indifferent as to whether Newcastle gets relegated or survive. This doesn't feel like a club anymore. It hasn't felt like a club for a very very very long time. Survival or relegation, as long as Ashley is determined to keep the club, it really doesn't matter where Newcastle is playing.
