All of these clubs have the same problem.5th place is the most that they can ever achieve but their supporters believe they should be in the top 4. Until there is control on the spending of Man U,Chelsea,Liverpool and to a lesser extent Arsenal premiership football will be a big dipper for the other 16 sides in that league.

Anyway for what he's likely to make from the sale of Newcastle he wouldn't even be able to afford saint's reserves.

Done wrong? well as far s I can see the fans turned against him because he wouldn't let Keegan spend 200 million on players of his choice. They believe that Ashley and Wise are buying and selling players without consulting their God (in this case Keegan) that is the problem with these old, massive clubs who have fallen from grace.The Premiership is a cartel, 4 clubs are virtually guaranteed the 4 champions league places. 2 because they spend massively on players whether they have the money or not,one because they have a great manager and a lot of money and the last one because they have quite a bit of money and a manager who is incredibly astute with it and gifted on football. All the rest are competing for the 5th place which will never bring CL football so it's no good throwing 200 million away to get there,that's what Ashley realised,as usual the fans can't accept that.

They will if they get taken over by a "Nigerian Consortium". Those lads can't even run their own country correctly let alone a troublesome football club.

Didn't he live in Philly at that time??

Well who knows what they do, are the "takeoverers" therefore suggesting that our medical team is not up to scratch? I would suspect that the "takeoverers" are getting a bit jumpy because things are not going as planned (ie we're actually winning a few matches) and that they might not get the club for the knockdown price they can afford. So spread a bit of BS, even if it is incoherent and doesn't make any real sense.

James and Mills are our wing backs. Like it or not,that's the way of it. We don't concede=they're doing whatever JP asks them to do.

indeed, some solid common sense there. The hard fact of the affair is that if we don't get relegated Lowe+Wilde's system is a success. We have cut fabulous amounts of money from the outgoings and although there is a minor cut in the income as well it is a drop in the ocean. 4000 fans x£18x23=1.66 million per season Chopping out all of the non performing dead wood= 6 million per season. That's a business plan folks, whether you like it or not. Bankers will be suitably impressed.

Anyway it's all theory as yet. When our chairman starts saying "Adam is not for sale at any price" that means "let's be hearing your sensible offers then gentlemen".

We'd have to take 5 or 6 million I think. Lad looks like a good player but honestly we need the money just now.Financial stability has got to be more important than hanging on to one player (unless he doesn't want to move,that's different).

In the good old days that was called obstruction and would have been an indirect free kick to us.

What we need is a few schizophrenics to boost the attendance figure. Provided that they pay at least twice that is. ;)

Perhaps he didn't get on with the previous managers. Perhaps he is revelling in the elder statesman and wise old uncle role.Perhaps he thought he was suffering behind a load of overpaid rubbish before.

1200 miles away and not very rich.

Agreed, a point would be a good result. We're doing OK but mustn't get carried away.If we can get at least a point there with the 2 week rest to come it would be very positive for us.

Hmm American Pie, is that the one where Jim dips his dong in an apple tart?

Still 17th, we need some more baking powder (young people ,ask your parents about plastic submarines and baking powder)

Not if we start tarting about trying to defend we won't

Stylistics?

Indeed, all those whining minnies should go back and read whatever it was they wrote on Friday.

See , told you he was a better bet than Dyer.

Surman seems to be committing a lot of fouls

Don't know what this debate is about, Stern John has a hamstring problem.

But McG starting in midfield in front of yer Rudi ?? Jan obviously thinks Rudi's about worth as much as a nine bob note.

Shows just how much Jan rates Rudi doesn't it. Perhaps he was only the squad last week because Rupert ordered Jan to put him in it.
