I really hope you are right. Ashley is a billionaire, hopefully this is where we find out he is going to use his cash to fund his ambitions, otherwise why would he have bought the club in the first place.

I've gone the other way - initial delight is now tempered by what looks like lack of lined up replacement. Please God not another trawl through mediocre British managers before settling. I hope the Redknapp thing is people taking the "british" remark and making 2+2 = 5 So basically those who wanted him sacked are unhappy, and those who thought he should get more time are pleased.

Thats exactly how I feel. This is now the first chance to really find out if Ashley is likely to make a good chairman or if we are looking at more of the same for the future. We are about to find out what our new owner is all about

I reckon the meeting went along the lines of SAM: We need to buy Kevin Nolan Ashley: OK Ive heard enough

Would I be guilty of Stokeing the rumours if I asked if a sex tape was involved

anybody know what is going on here?

???????

Thats hardly a fact - the courts seemed to beleive it was worth locking him for. I dont discount the posibility I may change my mind but at the moment I hope we never see him anywhere Newcastle again.

Because if he blows £30 million on shit then gets the sack at the end of the season (which in my opinion is looking likely) then, well, we'll have £30m pounds worth of shit footballers the next manager probably wont fancy. I didnt suggest he should blow 30 million on shit though, I would assume there is some sort of process where targets ae identified, the improvements they are expected to bring discussed, a level of fee we are willing to pay agreed between board and manager, and then they try and get the player signed. This sort of discusion is stupid. If we are to have any chance of any success at all there has to be a structure that can provide it. Allerdyce may well not be the man to bring success, but he certainly wont if he isnt even allowed to try and improve the team. If they genuinely dont think he can do the job they have to get rid of him. No-one is convinced he will definitely succeed, but if they arent going to sack him they have to provide him with the means to succeed. Failing that they need to find somebody they will support and install them Mort Ashley and Allerdyce all have to be in agreement with where we are, where we want to be and what we need to do to get there or we will end up much worse than we are now. If theyare going to sack Allerdyce at the end of the season because Mourinho or the like has been lined up then fair enough. We should be asking if Ashley and Mort know how to run the club in a way that will bring success, how they deal with Allerdyce will help us find out

If the squad can be improved by players that are available at a fair price, then of course Mort/Ashley/allerdyce should be trying to buy them. Why is this even a question?

I did, I wish I hadnt

I saw Beckham last night - we both went to see the same concert

three nil to the toon, nailed on, no problem whatsoever. The BBC are dogshite at picking games, the underdogs never perform and the games are ALWAYS over way before half time, just sit back and enjoy it - nothing can possibly go wrong Im off to betfair to get my 50 quid on

My link is good but HF wins this thread

Bloke boasts about buying a car with cash won by gambling to spam his website hilarity ensues Its made my morning back at work more enjoyable. As a sidenote- man alive do car owners love a niche forum or whaa??

I would have thought there would be some sort of gross misconduct clause in the contract, and I would imagine getting banged up for abh or whatever would be enough to activate it. There seems to be a bizzarre lack of paper gossip about it considering the circus we normally attract. It is possible I have been enjoying myself too much to notice mind. Without prejudging the situation, It looks like I had him all wrong, I fell h.l.&s for his psychobabble bullshit, thought he was sorting himself out and had great hopes for his Newcastle career. I now hope he fucks off and doesnt come back, I dont particularly care if he gets sent down, or for how long, I am happy for justice to run its course, but whatever the outcome I dont want to see him anywhere near a Newcastle shirt again. Hopefully he will be dealt with quickly one way or another, and we dont get dragged into some soap opera - I would be perfectly happy to never hear see or hear his name again.

Partyng on NYE is for teenagers, secretaries and the socially inept only. Definitely amateur night. I live ten minutes from the sea, so its possible we might take a walk down and watch the fireworks. I have got a shitload of booze in the house though, and I am planning on giving up for a while, so I will probably get bladdered, knock on all the neighbours doors, and yadder on drunkenly to them for a couple of hours. I havent spoken to them since last year, I dont think they like me. I hope they've got some decent booze in

I vaguely remember a story about Brian Clough where one of his players was knocked out on the pitch, the trainer told Clough "Hell have to come off, he cant even remember his own name" Clough replied "Tell him he is George Best and send him back on"

It might or it might not, is that a risk we can afford to take right now ? Any new manager has to deal with the unique and frenzied atmosphere of the city as well as understanding the expectations. Shearer at least will have that experience. He'd also be able to command respect of the players. I think he's a pretty smart guy too, I can't see him making too many basic tactical mistakes, but I also don't believe he'd try and over complicate things. Lastly until he's given a go, any manager will be living in his shadow the moment results go pear shape. thats pretty much what I think I also think if he is going to be a good manager anwhere it is here. Poving himself at Wrexham or wherever is a laughable idea. I think we need to give at a go and see what happens

I was hoping to get something for 50/60 quid, I have no idea how feasible that is though His PC shouldnt be a problem, he has got untold hard drives and ram for these game things the kids seem so keen on

I need help with buying some music software for my sons christmas present He is 16 and has inherited my passion for music, and I am pleased to say my musical education as he grew up has paid off as he has impeccable taste, a lot of early punk, Clash Buzzcocks Undertones, and the American bands that inspired punk, Stooges Mc5 NYDolls, he bloody loves Johnny Thunders, Primal Scream ,Muse(well nobodies perfect} He plays guitar is in acouple of bands,including an online collaboration with some americans, who fancy having him as vocalist. To be blunt his singing aint as good as his guitar playing and I was wondering if there was any sort off vocal tuning software available that any of you muso types might be able to recomend. If it comes with some sort of online mixing/recording package so much the better. Realising how little I know about this stuff is making me very old - so any help would be greatly appreciated.

The fact that nobody seems to be suitable as captain might help explain why we have had so many lack lustre displays this season. We are missing leaders on the pitch. Ive always thought the captains role was pretty much honorary, and doesnt really affect how a player peforms, but our lack of candidates highlights a real weakness in the team. If Barton had been here longer, regained last years form, stayed out of trouble and out of prison (and lost the scouse accent he) I think he has the potential to be captain, but he had been here longer and regained last years form he would be performing the role captain or not. Meh, just give it to Owen so we can hate him even more when he leaves.
