There really doesn’t seem to be too much new news relating to Newcastle United today and their search for a new manager.
Paul Ince – hard to believe Paul is a target of Newcastle
The Evening Chronicle are saying that Paul Ince, who has only just joined Blackburn Rovers, may be a candidate, but that to us is a non-starter, because even if the club were interested in Paul, the compensation we would have to pay Blackburn would be huge, and Ince is hardly proven in the Premier League.
The advantage is that Paul Ince knows Dennis Wise.
It’s got to be very frustrating to Newcastle fans that an advantage is to know one of the people at the club who has no historical links whatsoever with Newcastle, and is hardly admired or liked by the Newcastle faithful.
But that seems to be the condition of our famous club right now, with a London manager and Londoners seemingly ruining the club from the Capital., and coming up to Newcastle as little as they have to.
Hardly a good situation for proud Geordie fans, although the one silver lining is that the Indian Billionaire, Anil Ambani could buy the club.
But we don’t know if that story has any truth in it – or if it’s just something the Newcastle fans are just hoping and praying will happen.
We’ll have to wait and see – but if it does happen – just watch the Geordies come alive again out of their deep sadness at what owner Mike Ashley has done at their proud club.
Comments welcome.

Comment #82normski1930z – you might enjoy my post of the other day….Howay the TOON..TOON ARMY, TOON ARMY,TOON ARMY,TOON ARMY,TOON ARMY,TOON ARMY,TOON ARMY..
Is it just me or does the description below from the Star Wars website sound familiar?!?
A loathsome slug of a gangster, Jabba the Hutt (Mike Ashley) was the preeminent kingpin of crime in the Outer Rim Territories (NUFC). Basing his operations out of Tatooine (Hertforshire), the Hutt had his pudgy fingers in a number of lucrative and unsavory rackets — slavery, gunrunning, spice-smuggling, extortion and more.
Jabba’s physical appearance was as repulsive as his decadence. A hefty Hutt, Jabba resembled a worm-like slug, with a legless, tapered body coated in slime. A wide, drooling toothless grin split his flat face, and two yellow-red reptilian eyes stared covetously from his immense head. Jabba surrounded himself with the shiftless dregs of society (Wise and Co.), ensuring his protection with a screen of henchmen and hired guns. He lived in an opulent if sand-scarred palace out in the Tatooine deserts.
Jabba’s depravity was legendary. He kept himself entertained by torturing and humiliating his subjects. He kept scantily-clad slave girls chained to his throne for his amusement (US$125,00 night in NYC). When fickle, Jabba would send his prize possessions to a ghastly end.
To spread his influence and business across the Outer Rim, Jabba employed a number of smugglers (Wise and Co.) to traffic his illicit goods. One of the best starpilots on his payroll was a young Corellian named Han Solo (King Kev). Solo’s luck ran out while (trying to run a great football club) running a shipment of Kessel spice, and his freighter, the Millennium Falcon was boarded by an Imperial patrol. With no options, Han jettisoned Jabba’s cargo into space.

Comment #8351times just likes getting a rise out of people, I wouldn’t let it bother you. Generally he has something intelligent to add but he does like a good pop once in a while. Same with a lot of people on here, just looking for a reaction, we need to raise above all of that.
Anyways, anyone know if Oba is fit for this game? Boycott or not we need the points

Sensible, well thought out comments to be sent to him asking to buy our club.
Anyone responsible for the petitions please send them there also so he understands how many people are annoyed. PLEASE DO NOT SEND ANY SWEARING COMMENTS.

Comment #99Ed, its a little bit dramatic to state ”only hope” … we are still alive and kicking … Keegan walked on us and his 4 million a year contract cos he can … and he has p issed me off for one …. onwards and upwards – lets get positive and support the toon .. geeez all this negativety and prolonged pointless complaining is p issing me off … MA did a few things wrong but it teks 2 to tango and im convinced KK is jus a culpable …. get a grip.

Toon rich do u av d right 2 critisize other peoples comment.u must b a 4 in one 4 sayin i made any insult”
“Toon rich for all i care i love ashleys ambitions.try 2 b realistic not fantasy dreams”
================================
If you’re going to use your freedom of speach to criticize others, then YES I do have the right to criticize you…you TOOL.
I’m guessing by your inability to spell that you’re only a kid “u must b a 4 in one” is that your way of assuming I’m foreign?? I wouldnt be using that comment again, or you’ll begin to offend people.
Ashleys ambition is to make as much money from NUFC as possible. This ambition would be ok with a lot of toon fans, if only he had the clubs interest at heart…but he doesnt. If you’ve ever been to St James, or even near Newcastle then you would understand why we dont like Ashley & why you dont have any friends on here.

About Zico, my girlfriend is Brazilian, and she says, newcastle shouldn’t get Zico, he is sheet !
No one wanted him in Brazil, he wanted the Brazilian Squad but they said to him- we will take our chances without u.
What about the turkish manager, what was his name ?! (sorry, I am not good with names)

It’s funny, according to the press the only thing it takes to link you with the NUFC manager job is knowing Dennis Wise.
I wonder who will start against Hull this weekend?

But we are not talking about Zico’s Skills as a player (in the past), we are talking about him managerial skills (is that the right way to say it? namagerial?), with ofcourse all due respect to Zico the player.

So you would be happy for Newcastle to make a profit in the market and then gamble it away in his mates casino, because other than do his very dambdness to get rid of Keegan he hasn’t done much else.

MA had a chance, and another one, and another one…
Enough, Newcastle fans have nurves of steal, but it dosn’t mean we need to be played with !
He is not going to change, it is just how he sees our football club, and alot of the fans do not agree.
And don’t let him through sand in your eyes…
“sitting with the fans”
so what ?!
in the army we say- cheap popularity (in herbew i mean). that is when your comander is trying to get on your better side by being not “tough” enough with the soldiers.
We prefer him in the VIP room but have the team in his heart then see him sit with the fans but lie and go behind the back !
