simon l& and a half said:Newcastle United would be a world class football team if it were anywhere else but Newcastle, and if Freddy Shepherd had not been invented. A succession of decent managers have been undone by a chairman who sacks first and thinks second, if at all. The supporters simply thrash around like five year olds who don't get their way; they've kidded themselves that they are top six material, but the truth is that the kind of player that they need to buy to be top six is not going to move to a club that eats managers and players both, and no manager will ever get the time to bring on young players in the way that Wenger does. The whole thing is doomed. Allardyce thought that the appliance of science would take Newcastle higher than Bolton ever managed, but he didn't reckon on the febrile atmosphere, and the supporters hating his methods.
The only chance they've got is that Alan Shearer can pick a team. Having watched John Barnes make a complete horlicks at Celtic and Brian Kidd get turned over at Blackburn, not to mention Dalglish slink out of St. James' Park by the back door, I don't think there's any guarantee that charismatic players can make a go of managing difficult clubs, but, if they want to take the chance, it's theirs to take.
Still, if they go down to the Championship there's always Sunderland and Middlesborough...
