How much lower can Newcastle sink, it’s reported today that the owner Mike Ashley is prepared to sell the club for 70 million pounds that is down from the original asking price of 400 million, furthermore you only need to have 20 million to put down, Ashley himself will lend you the other 50 million to complete the purchase. Its a shame a club with the support they have have come to this, I don’t believe its all Ashley’s fault either, yes he is ultimately responsible for the decision’s made but I believe those bad decisions were in the appointment of managers.
And for that the supporters have to take the blame they practically bullied him into appointing Keegan and Shearer, Keegan a known bottler who runs away at the slightest sign of any pressure, I’m not sure about the Kinnear appointment that was puzzling but then he was not doing that terribly I think he would have kept them up but for his heart attack.
Where they really dropped the ball was when they took on Shearer, in the position Newcastle were they needed an experienced manager a fighter someone used to that situation maybe a Alan Curbishley type manager.
Instead they got Shearer who got it hopelessly wrong and consigned them to the Championship, Barry Moat reputed to be heading the running for buying the club is Shearers best friend so you can guess what is going to happen there, the supporters for their loyalty alone deserve better.
