Everton are a great example of how to run a club, come to think of Arsenal are too. Both clubs have to sell players to balance the books and both clubs play in Europe every year.

Moyes has been superb because he is allowed the run the club his way. Newcastle seem to living in Walt Disney land, with Keegan being a life size cartoon character. It’s all to romantic and unrealistic, if they can’t get Keegan, they will want Shearer. It’s crazy, they need to get behind who ever is in charge and be patient.

If what Ashley say’s is true and he has bailed the club out then the “Toon Army” need to have a good long look at themselves.

Newcastle are no “Bigger” a team than Everton and yet the blue half of Merseyside have to watch what they spend, pay prudent wages and play football suited to the players they have.
There are no multi millons to spend at Goodison, and no Arab backers, and yet we see a club in the top 6 almost every year.

So i’m sorry to any toon fans out there but getting rid of a rich owner, who loves the club, is not a good idea. If anyone thought he was acting in the interests of NUFC then it would be Mike Ashley, do you think a Sheik would let Keegan loose with Millions of pounds after being out of football for half a decade? Apparently his trasfer targets were Ronahdinho, Lampard etc…… what a great knowedge of the game to be able to “find” such untapped talent!!!! And if KK though thoose players would go to Newcastle he’s more deluded than the some of the hardcore toon army themselves……

Newcaslte do not play in Europe and have won nothing for 50+ years and yet the door is revolving if managers dont succed by xmas.

Big Sam was building a CLUB, Ashley was building a club, but all Newcastle fans want are chep thrills….. Because apparently rome WAS built in a day eh boys…….

Oh and for gods sake – PAUL INCE? Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!

Mistah Ashley’s now put Toon up for sale, according to BBC. I would normally say this is the end of this saga, but Newcastle’s used goods now – the buyer needs to be mighty brave to step in here. This one ain’t over yet.

the panto hasn’t even started yet.

the papers are full of stories this morning

In the The Sunday Telegraph they said Ashley is prepared to open one final round of talks aimed at reaching a compromise agreement that would pave the way for Kevin Keegan’s return to St James’ Park.

News of the World reckon Ashley is ready to tell fans baying for his blood: Give me £1,000 each and you can run the club yourselves.

Brilliant, as Stevo said, it’s better than Eastenders!!!

long live the panto and this post, it’s become the North East’s version of Eastenders. what ever will happen next? Maybe Dot Cotton should take over, her lovely son Nick Cotton could pick the team, maybe Well Hard (the real one) could play up front, it could work…

wise will get murdered, not literally but the fans will not take to him. The question is, have Manchester United got a director of football? Are they successful? I rest my case!

It’s saying something when the article needs to be reposted after it took 48 hours to sort this mess out.

Keegan’s come out of this looking very good and Mike Ashley looking like a fraud – not just with transfers but with his whole ‘regular supporter’ image.

Rumour is Dennis Wise may be appointed, which will be just Avram Grant Mark II – unpopular choice and a man who won’t have the same teeth as Keegan.
