There was something inevitable about Chris Hughton's sacking today, almost if after the last few weeks, it was a case of when rather than why. I was extremely critical of Mike Ashley's reign in the season that Newcastle United were relegated and yet here we are again, two years on and the man simply can't […]

Wednesday were all at sea for years... Did you ever think that you would look at the Premier League table and see the Wigan in 7th, Hull take 20 points in the first 9 games and Fulham challenging for 6th? If that wasn't strange enough, once Champions League semi-finalists Leeds United are currently sitting in the […]

Gerry Francis has been offered a coaching position at Newcastle United, according to Sky Sports. But, according to The Daily Telegraph, he may reject the offer. If he takes the position, the former Tottenham Hotspur and Queens Park Rangers manager will join a club overflowing with cockneys including owner Mike Ashley, vice president Tony Jimenez, […]

We have the audio of Joe Kinnear's unbelievable tirade against journalists from yesterday's Newcastle United press conference. If this isn't a sign of a club in serious trouble, I don't know what is. What was Mike Ashley and Dennis Wise thinking about hiring Kinnear who obviously isn't able to handle the pressure? Newcastle Manager Joe […]

In the battle of the two bottom teams of the Premier League, Newcastle lost 2-1 at home tonight to fellow underachievers Tottenham Hotspur in the Carling Cup in front of their lowest attendance in years. The performance by Newcastle was […]

Contrary to popular belief, Newcastle United is not a poisoned club. Nor are they jinxed with injuries. At worst, they're a poorly run club who has made one bad decision after another after another. With news that a Nigerian consortium are interested in buying Newcastle, Toon fans will be keeping their fingers crossed that current […]

Yesterday in Dubai, Newcastle United owner Mike Ashley was offered $360 million for the club by Dubai investors, but called the offer an insult and snubbed Arab investors to instead partake in drinking cocktails at a local bar, according to ArabianBusiness.com. Ashley reportedly received the offer earlier in the day and was supposed to meet […]

If Mike Ashley wants to do the right thing and avoid being run out of Newcastle, he needs to sack Dennis Wise and get on his knees to convince Kevin Keegan to stay at Newcastle United. King Kev is hardly a master tactician but what he does have is an immense passion for the Tyneside […]

OK. I'm sorry about the headline-itis there. I was up late last night and I haven't had my coffee yet 🙂 The transfer market has had some interesting moves in the last few days and I will be back on Feb 1st to recap things. The news I want to discuss right now is the […]
