Match day 3 - Scored 0 - conceded 4 - Won 0, Drawn 1 Lost 2. I'm no scare monger - but a) I have shares in Newcastle United PLC, and b) devoted follower of the TOON. Things have gone to far... We should be beating teams like West Ham, Bolton - and we should be doing it well. I'm sorry, but I watched the "season highlights" from last season, and NUFC have top scorers of
- Robert
- Bellamy
- Shearer
in no certain order - yet, we get rid of two of the three, and dont replace them - thats trouble - its no way to manage a team, its no way to run a business and its a sure way to get relegated with massive financial issues. I agree, Souness's buys have been good, YET, we havent replaced the volume of the missing people. I'm sick to the back teeth of us being linked with strikers, not paying what we should, getting the piss taken out of us across europe and coming up with no goods. Fat Freddy said that toon fans should be "suprised" of our transfer activities - yes, I'm surpised, that we havent bought enough to kit a squad for the full season. We've already been knocked out of the Intertoto cup (our only route into Europe), we are hovering over the relegation zone with no goals - thats bad, seriously bad - and needs fixing NOW.
We can't pay for the transfer links we've had in the past - so I'm assuming that we are now going to sell Jenas to Spurs for 8/10 million and use that funding to get a striker (Owen maybe) - YET weaking our midfield - talk about cutting off your nose to spite your face.
Solution is simple, get rid of Souness, get an experienced manager in who can motivate players and tactically play a game of football in.
