Me too  Like the majority I've been sucked into the ridiculousness of the past month. I dream of a day when normality returns on TEF. |

Give it a few years and I reckon we'll look back on this crazy appointment period with a bit of fondness, but I agree, TEF normality would be welcome.
I don't think anybody even bothered with a top 5 today.

I agree. I would also like to put on public record that Glos Robin is more annoying than Bart. Negative, depressing, mind numbing downbeat. What's the fucking point? |

What happened with the sheena easton listed on VC thing? Did it just go away and not come back? All the people I told thought it was hilarious.
That's my number one anyway.

VC took the betting down so she never progressed from 200-1.

I think a few days away from the forums have done me some good. Some of you are getting a bit obsessive, and maybe even a touch melodramatic.
Hmm, let's see now, getting on for 120 pages in the black ice thread - obsessive? You think? |

I don't care that we haven't appointed a manager yet. Byrne won't take us down, Fitton knows business and, despite what many think, more about the football backroom than us. If he wants to take another 2 months making sure he has a man the board can work with so be it, i really have no problem at all.
In fact, i have no problem with being relegated either. Afterall, we have the right board in charge and we know they want progress in the long term. Plus, as reg pointed out, our last stint in league 2 wasn't a problem for the club and i actually really enjoyed it. Football for me is, in a dream world, about enjoyment, so should we go down, at least we'll have another enjoyable season. I can't see many negatives from any angle in this managerial problem we have, it's just being blown out of proportion and escalated by a few negative voices who only see doom and are merely adding to each others fires.
Chill brethren, armageddon is not upon us.

But in total only 6 of those are football related. Barry - I take issue with the relegation point. Last time we had a "big name" manager come in and were also pretty much in the top 3 all season. And that's fine as it led to larger crowds. This time (or any time) there would be no guarantee of either. Don't fall into the "we are too big for that league" trap. We clearly aren't. It would also set us back at least 2 seasons on pushing the club towards challenging in the right half of the league 1 table. Relagation may or may not financially hurt us. It would still be a disaster. And to that point we (I) may have overreacted to the manager search stating again. But I still feel the sooner this squad gets a rocket up its arse and starts to win the better. |

The process won't drag on for another month, it'll be settled next week. According to the WDP, the issue was compensation for Money, with Newcastle demanding more than Fitton would accept.
The problem with forums is that you read something and it's fact.
Money has a clause in his contract that would allow him to leave to manage a club. Source? Fact?
Money has left Newcastle. Source? Fact?
It's all bollocks. Let Fitton do his job.
