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.

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.
