[Fat Pete Clemenza]

See you in The Championship

 

[hans kraay fan club]

I thought he was DEAD.

[Don Tmatter]

So much for 'Cockney Mafia Out' then. the fans are going to go ballistic

 

[pornomagboy]

ashley and wise- more like morcom and wise

you have got to laugh

 

[The Keeper]

Ex Brighton player, how many is that now in premiership? or make it a little more interesting how many more in all English Leagues??

 

[hans kraay fan club]

Less than there were, now that Gregory and Curbishley have departed.

 

[See-Goals]

Just been reading 606, load of Newcastle fans in uproar.

The common call in the posts are "Where are the Nigerian buyers"

What a sorry sorry state premiership football is in when a club as loyally followed and worshipped as Newcastle is begging for a takeover buy a Nigerian business consortium.

 

[TWOCHOICEStom]

... funny, this could actually be a true statement

I think Ashley must have got one of those emails...

"Dear Mr Ashley

My name is Mr Mbutibuti, a high ranking official in the Nigerian government. I have in my possession $783m in development loans which need to be moved out of the country..."

Apparently Mike Ashley's secretary misheard him yesterday on his way out the door:

"I've had it with them, fax the lawyers love, get them to sort out The Sun and the manager position, I'll want £500,000, I'm not jokin' 'ere..."

He's only there for five weeks apparently, but oh my days. Why? And seriously, I did think he was dead, and I'm not confusing him with dear old Roy. Thought he had a heart attack a couple of years ago.

 

[Uncle Buck]

Just when you think the Skunks cannot do anything more stupid they pull this one out of the hat.

 

[beorhthelm]

i have nothing against Wise (and really dont undersatn why others do), but this really isnt clever. Not only Kinnear, but they dont even appoint him permenant why doesn Wise just take over? and how is Ashley going to get his investment back if the club is fighting relegation? wierd.

 

[Pavilionaire]

We haven't seen a Geordie soap opera like this since Byker Grove.

You couldn't make this stuff up, you really couldn't. Whatever next? A consortium led by Robert Mugabe with Malcolm McDonald at the helm, Sid Waddell as his No. 2 and The Likely Lads taking training?

 

[Fat Pete Clemenza]

Kinnear has just been on TalkSPORT and said he believes that Shearer and Keegan will be in charge within the next few weeks.

Unbelievable

 

[Brian Fantana]

The fans up here are simply speechless.

I have just been for a pint in a pub near St.James' Park and the mood is one of disbelief. There is not really much anger floating around but there is more a sense of bewilderment.

There is talk of another boycott this Saturday.

No no no no no. Newcastle is a soccering HOTBED.

 

[Chester Drawers]

Only 17 managers turned it down apparently ...
