Based on what?

No management structure at the club
4 or 5th choice manager appointed
Already signs of a bit of boardroom wrangling - Staveley thinks she's running the show but apparently "all decisions need to be approved by the Saudis"
Manager massively downgrading expectations in the January window
0 wins from 14 games

Basically a bunch of rich poshos/murderers playing Football Manager with a real life club. Can't wait for Stavely and her hubbie to start doing transfer negotiations :emoticon-0140-rofl::emoticon-0140-rofl:

watch them bid on a player, then ask for some funds from the Saudis, who notoriously operate at their own pace, then see the deal fall at the first hurdle.

She sold the Saudis this 'I'm a Northern lass and I can relate to the supporters' line and they bought it.

But wearing a club shop scarf, and doing that weird hand-clappy thing, won't fool people for long.

But she's all they have as a front for the club because the Reubens won't ever show their faces, the Saudis won't either and Howe doesn't have the gumption to be trusted and left to answer questions alone. Him and Staveley remind me of that Father Ted bit where he's teaching Father Jack what to say to the bishops <laugh>

I cannot wait for it all to fall apart. I predict a fall out between Staveley and the Saudis in the same way those 2 Americans in charge of Liverpool ended up refusing to even speak to each other

Nope, quite content at the moment I am…league position isn’t ideal but no more than we deserve. I think we’ll be fine regardless of which division we are playing in next season!

You are content?

As in, " a state of happiness" ?

You are in a state of happiness that the team you follow no longer represents a club, but a psychopathic tyrant? That, in due light of this incontesable fact, the whole world of football and beyond now holds that entity in withering disdain?

You are content that most of the fans of what was once your football club have more or less sold the core of their humanity, just so that they might be bought a reluctant , expensive footballer or two to worship?

Content that the team now obliged to play for the honour of Bin Salman looks in desperate trouble, burning up winnable fixtures?

Content that all you had in football has gone, and gone for good, and that you are reduced to hoping for something in it's place that you can persuade yourself to believe is real? Something that does not have the darkest shadow creeping over and around it?

Content?

Also look how the dorky twat gets all abusive and fronts up when the Steward actually gets between them

I said the same he was all hard and going to nut him once the steward was in-between and the other bloke was walking away.

Bet he is always telling his mates they best hold him back before he knocks someone out.

For anyone who likes a cheap laugh as much as I do, here's an actual article that appeared on a Newcastle media forum tonight ...

... no further comment is needed although I have highlighted my favourite bits <laugh>

"Newcastle United will not be relegated, there you go…

Absolutely no chance in my opinion, 11/8 odds to stay up is the knocking bet of the year. And I say that with a mentality and expectation that I don’t anticipate more than one or two additions in January that will actually start in the first team.

Eddie Howe has already had a profound effect on me as a fan of Newcastle United, to a level of anticipation I haven’t experienced since Bobby Robson, yes that includes Keegan’s return, Shearer and Rafa in between.

Eddie is clearly an exceptional leader, coach, communicator, tactician, man-manager, a glass half full kind of guy whose positivity and strength of mind is already having a huge effect on the club.

In a very short period, he has extracted more out of failed players than any fan would ever have imagined. The best example of that is clearly our record purchase Joelinton, who I thought was absolutely fantastic again against Norwich. They say (Shearer says mainly) that if you give these fans 100% commitment they ask for nothing more and will love you…. Joelinton could well turn his St James Park career on its head with Eddie’s guidance if that is the case. Not many points so far but plenty of positives are appearing and on top of the Howe factor, I think we categorically stay up because of the fans…

I thought the support on Tuesday night was magic and an atmosphere I have not experienced since after we had being relegated and played at home against Spurs, sat in my seat in the Milburn stand the noise from the traditional ‘corner’ was (as always) electric, That small bunch got the whole stadium going and even the Leazes End corner started to break out into a sing song.. unbelievable!!

I don’t go with this we must beat Brentford, Norwich and Burnley to stay up.

I think the way Eddie has set about the squad and his clear tactical superiority to previous recent management choices, I fully believe that when Man City, Man Utd etc come into town they will be in for a surprise.

The fortress that was once St James has indeed at last returned. It won’t be 10 men the big boys come up against it, it will be 12 and a little prediction for December would be, an unlikely 10+ points picked up and a manager of the month award for Eddie Howe in his first full month in charge."
