That second favourite club tag is a bit old hat now, a throwback to the days when you had Ardiles and Keegan in charge with their banzal 11 centre forwards and we'll always try to win 6-5 mentality. They're just another brand in a hideous Meccano set stadium that used to have a very stupid name now.
As one that follows their football at Croft Park up the coast and used to spend roughly equal time on the Gallowgate and Fulwell end's of the big clubs, The Mags and Mackems both need a kick up the backside reality check if they want to be better than lower-mid table nonentities. The league is improving and as shown blatantly with Mike Amos's northern league isolationist stance, the North East simply isn't keeping pace nationally with football moving forwards into ever more expensive corporate blandity at the top level and stupid amounts of money to run clubs hoping to make the league further down. Look at Gateshead last week sacking Ian Bogie, a decent man and a very good manager who, albeit with a £20 million sugar daddy, has dragged them from being utter no hope dead men in the lower reachers of the Northern Premier regional div 1 to one of the consistently better teams in the Conference, a couple of years time and they'd be very realistic promotion chances far more so than many of the the ex-league clubs, like how Burton Albion went about it.
A first bad run of results after a pretty outstanding 6 years and he's gone without a blink. The Tyne mentality is not one conducive to building solid foundations.
Newcastle still has the same nonsensical sense of entitlement like West Ham and Tottenham living in this fantasy land of expected success completely at odds with over half a century of stark reality and hold a delusion that the rest of us are surprised and upset when they fail year after year after year after year after year after year after year after year after year after year after year. You mags need to get over last year and see it for the Blip that it really was. Remember Peter Reid's first top flight season with Sunderland a decade back, a few surprise decent loanees (Shay Given being the most notable) and being a bit of an unknown quantity, they were second at Christmas & finished outside of Europe by a point. It took the rest of the league a couple of games first hand to suss him out and realise he hadn't got a Plan B, next season, disasterous. Same with Pardew in my opinion.
Maybe your lot shouldn't have been so implaccably resistent to Allardyce and his ideas or so trigger happy with Houghton. Both are better off in real terms this year and from the starting point of both their current clubs are massively out performing your never did anything of note as a manager and on the scrapheap until being gifted a last chance by his poker buddy.
