Joe Kinnear Is New Manager !

Former Wimbledon, Luton Town and Nottingham Forest manager Joe Kinear has been appointed by the board as an interim manager till October.

The 61 year old has vast of experience on his side and hopefully he can managed to steer the players from the doom and gloom in the camp.

The contract was said to be ended in late October (about 5 weeks) and hopefully by that time as well Mike Ashley could sell the club and the new owners can get some REAL stability for the club.

We wish Joe the very best of luck and hopefully the players backed the new interim manager starting with the EPL match this Saturday against Blackburn Rovers.

Terry Venables Snubbed Magpies

Former England manager has declined the offer by the board to take Newcastle Utd hotseat as an interim manager.

Tel was quoted as it was an easy option to refuse as he wasn't happy with the short-term role he have to take in guiding the Magpies.

Venables preferred a longer role at the club and he will so called surplus to requirements once Mike Ashely sell off the club.

Given the commitment, as in Kevin Keegan, both show great enthusiasm in guiding the fallen Magpies but concerning uncertainty in the club, we could understand the reason for the snub.

Next manager ..... line up ...

Mike Ashley Returns Pointless

Newcastle Utd owner Mike Ashley's actions and directions of Newcastle Utd have been more twisted than ever.

The Newcastle owner was spotted in a bar at Dubai enjoying with his crew of directors and not negotiating broking deals with potential buyers.

The actions that Ashley's taken are slammed by the suitors as being the laughing stock of the country. Setting a non-negotiable price of £481 million is something of a barrier, behaving horrendously in the month of Ramadan in a Muslim country is another.

With the squad and training staff reduced to the thin line, it looks to see what happens in Newcastle especially these few days.

The situation is getting out of hand and Mike Ashley has indeed broken the record of being the worst owner in Newcastle's history.

Now the lads have to buck up and hopefully get something out the match against West Ham at Upton Park. The situation right now is unbearable for a Newcastle United fan .... thanks to screw up owner.

Zabeel Agree To Buy Magpies

Dubai property investment company, Zabeel Investments, agreed to to buy the Newcastle United for £300m according to reports.

Mike Ashley and board director members Dennis Wise and Tony Jimenez are currently in Dubai to find potential buyers after Mike Ashley bowed down to fans plea to sell the club.

Since this issue errupted there's been a lot of un-neccessary rumors flying around, but we certainly hope that this issue would finally be put to rest and stabilise the north-east club.

The owner has been in the wrong headlines of every media coverage lately and hope this agreement could put an end to the Toon misery.

Zabeel Investments, under Al Hashimi, is said to re-appoint Kevin Keegan on the deal has been brokered and if this is particular true we hope King Kev can bring the motivation and work ethic in the dressing room up.

It has been the worst performance so far last Saturday which I believe should be something that we should put off to rest.

Hope the deal could be done quickl cause we need stability back at St.James and we need new bodies come the January transfer window. Howay The Lads......

Mike Ashley To Sell Newcastle Utd

If we were to read the back pages of Sunday's newpapers in England, a lot of stories about NUFC has popped out (not too surprising though).

I mean the protests and other fans reaction is one thing but what particularly grab my attention is that the owner has finally give up on Newcastle.

Whether it's true or not has yet to be seen, but I was kinda despised by the article that came out from "News Of The World" claiming that Mike Ashley was doing everything in his power to bring the club forward.

From the standpoint at the moment, hey, maybe it's true cause we did not want to be another Leeds United, cashing on high profile names and wages but to think the incident that occur this past few weeks is it really him and his actions that can bring this club forward?

The sale of up-and-coming young talent in James Milner (for example) and the issue where the entire squad put out for sale, what's happening?

Maybe, Mike do have a business plan (a long term strategy) for the club but his board of so-called directors that he entrusted to do the job is swindling the club every minute of it.

It doesn't surprised why the fans are so annoyed cause the PR is as bad as well.

We need football minded people back in the boardroom..... people like David Dein or Kevin Keegan for example cause now the mismanagement of the club is leading everyone clueless to which direction the club is heading.

News also popped out that a local based consortium and a Chinese businessman is ready to cash in on the the club if eventually Mike decided to put the club on sale.

Anyway what a week to remember for the Toon Army ... hopefully good news will come within the next few days.

Newcastle Utd Or Londeners Juniors?

It's becoming a fact since the appointment of Mike Ashley, the pride of the north-east club has been ripped apart from the inside.

Newcastle United, the pride of the north of England, has become another London club in the making.

It started with Mike Ashley (London), Chris Mort (London) and Dennis Wise (another London).

No offense to the people down south, but this is Newcastle Utd. The running of the north-east style where entertaining football is all of the best.

With reports that Gustavo Poyet taking over the hot-seat (mainly due to that bloke Dennis Wise), Newcastle will either looked to be another Spurs in the making (Chris Hughton is retained as first team coach) or the old fashion Chelsea (before the russian revolution).

Another bloke, the managing director, Derek Llambias, is another "London calling" director who doesn't know how to manage a football club. I think he should return to West Ham as that club is in turmoil too.

War Of Words Getting Ugly

It's getting pretty ugly by the minute as the Newcastle Utd board and departed manager Kevin Keegan is locking heads in the press as the aftermath of King Kev's resignation saga continues.

As what I can see the situation is really out of hand and one wonders (especially the Newcastle Utd fans) thinking when is this club going to stabilize.

Keegan's had hit back recently to claims by the Newcastle board he understands his role and responsibilities and he is solely in-charge of transfer targets as with the assistance of Dennis Wise.

King Kev hit back where he is unaware on the dealings that has gone behind his back and that his duties has been strapped to a mere "head coach".

The fans however backed King Kev, but in reality no-one, except those in the boardroom knows what is going on back then.

Tyneside has now becoming the media attention of the world and we hope that everything settle down as soon as possible. Remember, the Hull game is approaching.

Backlash and news of boycott by fans will not actually help the team and we hope that this issue is resolved.

Till the sun settles down, we hope the board can make significant changes because all these events are not helping anyone any good.

Shearer Rule Himself Out

The golden son of Tyneside, Alan Shearer, has rule himself out of the running as Newcastle Utd's next manager.

The legendary striker claimed that it is difficult to manage the club without giving the power to manage the players, contracts and transfer negotiation.

Newcastle Utd has been testing the so-called "Continental" approach to football management which has found success in teams like Real Madrid, AC Milan and more others. However it is not really the proven formula that could really bring success. Just look at Man Utd. They are one the most successful club in the world; yet without a technical director controlling transfer targets.

Mike Ashley really need to restructure Newcastle Utd again or all hope is gone.

Remember when the time he bought shares from Sir John Hall. He said he is bringing this club forward but what we see now is shatters of glass from a broken mirror.

The management hierarchy is totally in a mess and that starts with Derek Llambias who is giving no PR at all to the fans. If he thinks Newcastle Utd is just another casino, he can jolly well FUCK OFF from Tyneside and let David Dein or some other capable chairman takeover.

This shit is for real and just like the LMA puts it " Sort out the mess " .

MIke Ashley Promises WOW Signing

Owner Mike Ashley is definitely putting the club in right direction by informing corporate guest that there will signing a "WOW" signing before the window closes on August 31.

This is definitely good news to the Toon faithful after weeks of intense speculation and slow activities in the transfer front.

With a great display by the current squad, we would definitely need at least 2 or 3 new players coming in ( looking at how thin our first team squad is).

With the owner backing the manager, good times will be foreseen in the near future but who exactly is this WOW signing?

I think the answer lies in the hands of Dennis Wise, Tony Jimenez and Jeff Vetere.

Now let's slay off Bolton!

Mike Ashley Stepping In On Contract Talks

Contract negotiations between current Newcastle players has been super slow and this has been going even before the previous season ended.

To think about it again, Newcastle has actually did a good move pertaining this contract saga by releasing fringe players which are deemed surplus to our club's requirement.

Now with Kevin Keegan back in town, our big owner has decided to step in expediting the rate of speed in contract negotiations among our current players.

With that also, it is reported that the owner will have more hands on approach on the running of this club and I believe this would suit well with King Kev as the recruitment team has been a no-news thing since its eventual setup back then in February 2008 this year.

I'm not saying our recruitment team are a hopeless bunch of fat pay-checks executives; they did scout for good talent but they fail in finalizing the target players to sign for the Magpies (Luka Modric is one very good example).

Anyway things are looking bright although we are set to miss out on Arda Turan and Andrei Arshavin for that matter :( .

Let's see what is coming and I hope it will be something good.
