I have always been mystified as to how Mike Ashley ever was a successful business man.
Their manager worked miracles, got them promotion at the first ime of asking, has them sitting nicely in mid-table on their fiurst season back in the top flight, and he gets the bullet.
Ashley cites the need for change and to bring in an experienced manager. And they bring in Alan Pardew. Friggen Alan Pardew.
If I was ever mad enough to invest in football, Newcastle is the type of club I would take over. They have a passionate fanbase, but sadly the club has nearly always been run badly. There is so much potential up there in the north east. But morons run the club. Like, who in their right bluddy minds sacks Bobby Robson? And for what - because Newcastle ONLY finished 5th. Morons, absolute morons. Shepherd and Ashley.
