As always, True Faith have hit the nail on the head and summarised the situation perfectly.... Ashley staying? It's going to be a long, cold winter I agree with Jill…..

Very well said. Also like your other posts, you come across as very articulate with well thought out comments. Plus I nearly always agree with BBM. He is a great poster too. I really like this site and everyone who posts on here has a real feeling for the club. To ShiverMeTimbre post # 64 What an excellent article by the ‘True Faith’. Very well said.

If we were all the slobering, rabid anti-Cockney, deluded reactionaries of popular repute then fair enough. But we're not. A dispirate bunch of idealists, romantics, pragmatists, moaners and dreamers drawn together like gullible moths to a not especially incandescent flame in the form of Newcastle United football club. Has such unquestionable love ever came so unrequited? It’s nigh on tragic, BBM. If we were all the slobering, rabid anti-Cockney, deluded reactionaries of popular repute then fair enough.

You really couldn't make it up? I can't see an end to the circus, which is the worst of it. I know it's not a popular view but I'd prefer to see the back of this board and find ourselves as a well run Championship side than a Premiership side with Ashley et al still in charge and the ill-feeling around the place. Choice would be a fine thing I guess.... Shiver – yep, I never ceased to be amazed by our club. You really couldn’t make it up? I can’t see an end to the circus, which is the worst of it.

As a coach and a human being, he's top notch. As a Manager, with the attendant responsibilty and requisite charisma, reputation and standing though, I do have my doubts, sadly. What I do know is that's it's impossible to state with any agree of certainty as to whether he'd be a success or failure, given the amount of games at the helm. And that is why I feel it's essential an experienced, proven man be given that chalice, poisoned or otherwise. That pretty much covers my feelings on the subject, BBM.

Fifteen hour shift, bloody projects!! Hard to say how I feel about Hughton. On the one hand, Ashley has yet again timed things to perfection by offering the contract just as we've shown signs of crumbling. While also publicly undermining the gaffer and pissing off the fans. So Hughton is probably being hung out to dry on a more permanent basis now. Objectively I agree he's championed rightly more as a coach and yet his results until recently were good. But my gut tells me he's not the right guy. I'd hate to see him not get the support he needs and to be seen to be a failure as a result. Though I'm sure Mike is capable of ruining another reputation.
