Ayatollah Hermione 12765 Posted September 21, 2015 Share Posted September 21, 2015 It's only been 7 games though. You look at the previous 5 league games and you could draw the conclusion that the Watford game is the first bad result. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy Face 29 Posted September 22, 2015 Share Posted September 22, 2015 Wonder at what point they could mobilise and have the majority support if things stay as bad. After January I'd say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ewerk 26283 Posted September 22, 2015 Share Posted September 22, 2015 Will Ashley be the focus of any protests? The major problems most fans had with him were that we were spending nothing and selling our better players. That doesn't appear to be the situation any more. Who is to blame? Take your pick from Charnely, McClaren, Carr or the players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex 30374 Posted September 22, 2015 Share Posted September 22, 2015 McClaren seems like a nice bloke and loads of people who have worked with rate him highly as a coach but the main issue I have with him is that he hasn't got a very good track record as a manager. I'm not advocating his sacking btw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ewerk 26283 Posted September 22, 2015 Share Posted September 22, 2015 I'd agree, he's only really had two successful spells in his previous 7 jobs before joining us. And I'm including his time at Boro as a success despite some very lacklustre league campaigns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Take your pick from Charnely, McClaren, Carr or the players. Think the protests would continue to be about Ashley. The chief exec was making the tea when Ashley arrived, the manager has got the job having failed miserably in the championship, much like the last manager. Bob Concur is supposed to be the 4th most powerful man at the club and is more of a Jack Hackett character. The spending over the last 2 years has still been insufficient to provide any quality cover at the front or the back, The stadium is still an eyesore and Ashley still puts his shop ahead of sorting any of that out. People have worked out that the personnel are irrelevant when this barrow boy is running things for his own means. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trooper 940 Posted September 22, 2015 Author Share Posted September 22, 2015 A fish rots from the head down Meaning When an organization or state fails, it is the leadership that is the root cause. This still applies at Newcastle United unfortunately Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with all your points, I've no idea whether the average fan can see them though. And I'm absolutely certain the national media won't, they'll just claim we were protesting against our transfer spend and now that we've spent a bit of money we're still protesting then play the deluded/high expectations card.

Christmas Tree 3997 Posted September 22, 2015 Share Posted September 22, 2015 Luckily I've moved into the not really giving two fucks once the whistle goes mode. For me we are simply buying too many shit players. On top of that we seem very, very predictable going forward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anorthernsoul 1221 Posted September 22, 2015 Share Posted September 22, 2015 I honestly believe a change in system will see vast improvement and could kick start our season. All the players clearly don't believe in McClaren's current ideas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trooper 940 Posted September 22, 2015 Author Share Posted September 22, 2015 He'll probably change things tomorrow night then be back to 1 up top against Chelsea as we try to contain rather than attack them. Incidentally I think the Chelsea players will have strict instructions to wind Mitrovic up knowing how hot headed he is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom 13836 Posted September 22, 2015 Share Posted September 22, 2015 How many teams in the league play two up top? Liverpool & Leicester are the only teams to use two up top in the last round of fixtures. Why is this a sudden auto-fix the professionals can't see & does it really matter if we have two up top if one of them's Cisse? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trooper 940 Posted September 22, 2015 Author Share Posted September 22, 2015 If we EVER played 2 up top it'd have to be Perez & Mitrovic I think they'd make a canny partnership. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
