The News of The World is reporting that Alan Shearer will make a double swoop for strikers Ched Evans and Fraizer Campbell this coming week.
Ched Evans - 20 year old Welsh International striker
We have to hope that Alan Shearer will be installed by the end of the coming week as the search for a new owner at St James’ Park nears completion.
The news is that Alan is favored by all three groups bidding for control of the club, but that is not hard news, and there is still a little uncertainty surrounding the future of the former England and Newcastle great.
Apparently Alan compiled a list of 10 Newcastle players, that was distributed throughout Europe, as those players available for transfer, and was compiled with his blessing.
But the list did not include Sebastien Bassong, Habib Beye and Steven Taylor and Alan still hopes to keep Bassong at Newcastle, after his proposed move to Tottenham fell flat because of the wage offer made by the London club.
Alan is keen on both England U21 International Fraizer Campbell, 21, of Manchester United and Welsh International Ched Evans, 20 of Manchester City, and reports are that he will try to bring both into the club this week.
The 20-year-old struggled for opportunities at Eastlands last season, but still scored 10 goals in 20 starts during a loan spell at Norwich and he looks a more than decent player, who will find chances hard to come by City from now on.
Ched has played 16 times for Manchester City with one goal, and has played 10 times for Wales with 2 goals.
There is also news that Oba Martins and Fabricio Coloccini could both be sold this week to French giants Lyon, who apparently have lined up Martins as a direct replacement for Karim Benzema, who moved to Real Madrid for £35M.
Maybe we may get a decent price for both these players given Lyon are now flush with cash.
Two groups who are in the lead to buy Newcastle are an American Group and a Malaysian Group, and we should know who the new owners are sometime this coming week.
Thank goodness for that!

Hi Ed, hope you are having a great time in Paris. Your son Neil is doing a great job aswell.
As for Ched Evans and Fraizer Campbell, I wouldn’t mind having either of them as they are both proven goal-scorers in the Championship.
2 waddler // Jul 5, 2009 at 10:58 AM
Ed, he’s also being linked to Sol Cambell who would solidify our defence.
This week is going to be the most important in our history, we need some luck because Ashley isn’t bothered about our future, only the money he take out of the club.
I hope Harris has the persuasive powers to get Ashley to accept the bid which provides the best future for the club.

Defo get Campbell in…Him & Beye would rock!..
4 sheppyno9 // Jul 5, 2009 at 11:26 AM
I dont understand how Shearer can be chasing people if he’s not installed as manager yet, I mean who in their right mind would come to a club like Newcastle in its present state. I hope the rumours are right but i cannot see it happening until a new buyer is sorted…..on another note looking forward to seeing the toon next Saturday…….footballs back yipeee
5 Wigaz // Jul 5, 2009 at 11:26 AM
Lets hope this is true folks. These two players would be just what we need. Young hungry strikers with pace & proven records in this league. Not to mention that they are still young & with shearer’s help could become even better strikers. Sol would be great at the back to help along the younger defenders like taylor tozer kadar. I think if we have Shearer in charge, owners that will pump £ in to the club then seb will stay. Lets just hope the great news starts on monday & keeps flowing from then on.
6 ArtyH // Jul 5, 2009 at 11:51 AM
I just hope that the club is not sold to a bidder who is not in a position to invest the required funds to improve the team. It would not surprise me if there were two identical offers, or a slightly lower one from a less financially well off source, and the poorer of the two were chosen! Just to twist the knife! I really hope I am wrong but I just think there will be a bit more crap coming our way before the completion of the sale. I just hate this situation and how things are going with our great club.
7 TonyGreenSupreme // Jul 5, 2009 at 11:53 AM
What a load of tripe.
WE DO NOT HAVE A MANAGER……………..
8 premierleaguejobs.com // Jul 5, 2009 at 12:02 PM
I have it on good authority we’re looking at 2 Southampton guys, Morgan Schneiderlin, who’s a French under 21 international, more defensive minded. Good passer, and he’s only 18. Also Adam Lallana, who plays in “the hole”. Pretty ineffective anywhere else, but if the team is set up to accommodate him playing behind 2 strikers, he could be absolutely lethal.
Just what I’ve heard.
9 Waddles mullet // Jul 5, 2009 at 12:08 PM
nuf.com reporting takeover could take another 4 weeks!!!
Don’t think Mr shearer will hang around for that long.
10 Prince Bassong // Jul 5, 2009 at 12:12 PM
Any takeover has to happen THIS week or we have next to no hope of bouncing back barring a miracle.
However, nufc.com are reporting that a ‘reliable source’ tells them that the sale could be delayed for another month as a final kick in the crotch from Mike Ashley.
And unfortunately they’re usually right

12 Waddles mullet // Jul 5, 2009 at 12:15 PM
Nufc.com rumours aren’t that reliable mind if you look back.
The only one they got right was Keegan “yellow belly” walking.
Hope this one is bull also
13 Alex // Jul 5, 2009 at 12:25 PM
Prince Basssong it does not matter if it takes another month to officially complete the take over as long as the new owners sign an intent to buy document . Once that happens they can appoint a new manager and start the rebuilding of the squad .
14 Gary77 // Jul 5, 2009 at 12:58 PM
Hi im new on here so i dont want to make out that im someone thats got connections and who gets breaking news etc before it happens because a dont know anyone connected in football but my dad works at the berasford arms and was talking to sol cambel last week who was staying there for 2 days and he said he was buying a house in corbridge near hexham with his lass so maybe thats why hes being linked with sunderland and newcastle if he lives in the north east it would make sence to get a club near his home

Gary77.
yes i heard this during the week about him buying a house up here, i think its because his lass is from up here. will be interesting to see if he does join a club up here.
i’m not sure he would want to play in the c.c.c.
18 RyanToon // Jul 5, 2009 at 1:13 PM
we just have to be taken over this week coming?!?
SURELY?

20 Nick D // Jul 5, 2009 at 1:16 PM
Don’t know why we should pay another 10m + on fees and wages for Evans, F.Campbell and S.Campbell when we have Carroll, Ranger and Kadar.
I was full of optimism over the Yanks or the Malaysians, but if it’s come down to Shepherd or Ashley staying with Kinnear, it will be one kick in the guts too many.
21 Waddles mullet // Jul 5, 2009 at 1:17 PM
Campbell and his lass (who’s a geordie) have bought hallington hall, hallington.
22 Tino 11 // Jul 5, 2009 at 1:25 PM
I’ve got a nasty feeling MA wants to sell to FFS, if he read any of the fan websites he’d know the vast majority don’t want FFS back (apart from Batty :-0) so this would be his perfect final parting kick in the nuts for us.
23 magforlife // Jul 5, 2009 at 1:26 PM
Just read the NUFC.COM story and i felt physically sick reading it, its a million miles away from him saying that he wanted rid of the club ASAP citing his mistakes and would sell it at a decent price to allow new owners in place before the season starts, what a twat.
24 magforlife // Jul 5, 2009 at 1:30 PM
Due diligence must have exposed Ashley and Lambias to be the incompetents we suspect they are, how the hell can they have debts at this club after their minimal player investments, player sales and Harris said that one of the main attractions to any purchaser was that the club was relatively debt free.
So come on, whos telling lies here?

tf is a c unt of the highest order mate
26 Rodzilla // Jul 5, 2009 at 1:32 PM
…Sol Campbell, Frazier Campbell… we should just go the whole hog and get in Glen Campbell as well – he can go in goal and sing to our defence.
27 Tino 11 // Jul 5, 2009 at 1:36 PM
The state the club is in at the moment we’ve got more chance of sigining campbells meatballs!
28 Waddles mullet // Jul 5, 2009 at 1:37 PM
We are in debt to chelsea and inter milan,
and we have players on mega bucks contracts with no relegation clauses.
Blame fat fred for most of this mess!
29 batty // Jul 5, 2009 at 1:44 PM
Waddles mullet ashleys had 2 years to sort the mess oot and hes just made mistake after mistake maybe we should go as far back to blame mckeag
30 magforlife // Jul 5, 2009 at 1:45 PM
According to TrueFaith.com Bob Cass in the Mail reckons Shearer has not gone to a golf tournament organized by SBR in Portugal as he expects news this weekend on the sale with Shepherd believing they are close to doing business with Ashley but Krishnan is hovering.
Claims and counter claims, personally i dont think anyone really knows and the announcement will come out of the blue.
31 chuck // Jul 5, 2009 at 1:46 PM
Both of these youngsters are decent, whearas Evans is more of a physical old style center forward, Campbell is pacey and can take on defenders, not a bad combo up front.
Have yet to hear about any prospective, Essien type midfielder, something we could build around, a keystone player. Any thoughts ?
Hope we can hang on to the three defensive players Beye, Bassong and Taylor, as for the rest , they blew it during the latter half of the season, big wages but no production.
Time for a clearout and rebuilding.

…….
The club was debt free but was still losing millions every year in running costs, whoever buys us won’t just be paying to by the club but they will have to put more money in just to subsidise the running costs like Ashley has in the 2 years he’s been here.
33 RyanToon // Jul 5, 2009 at 1:48 PM

34 Waddles mullet // Jul 5, 2009 at 1:54 PM
batty
so would you have paid off the transfers of duff and martins when you took over and negotiated the contracts of nearly the whole squad which would have cost a mint.
Look ashley has made massive mistakes but relegation would not have happened had keegan not done a runner Again!!!
35 Rangerman // Jul 5, 2009 at 1:59 PM
Waddles mullet ashleys had 2 years to sort the mess oot and hes just made mistake after mistake maybe we should go as far back to blame mckeag
…….
2 years isn’t long enough to sort it out though batty, there are average players here on long contracts with huge wages which they would struggle to get even half of it anywhere else, you will see the trouble we’ve had moving players on in the past that they won’t walk away from these deals which means we’re stuck with most of them until their contracts run out.
Whoever buys this club is going to have the same problems, I just hope they’ve got the personal wealth to cover it as well as fund moves on pushing us forward.
36 batty // Jul 5, 2009 at 2:00 PM
dont you meen if ashley hadnt of sold milner emre given zogs and hadnt of backed wise over keegan
37 Waddles mullet // Jul 5, 2009 at 2:04 PM
Milner:- 12 million for a winger who couldn’t cross the road.
Emre:- always injured
Zoggs:- tried for a full year to leave the club and always in a strop. lets see him reach the heights at wigan.
Given:- class act but wanted to leave good luck to the 33 year old.
38 RyanToon // Jul 5, 2009 at 2:13 PM
getting rid of emre and nzogbia was good buisness
but we should never of sold given and milner imo
39 Tino 11 // Jul 5, 2009 at 2:13 PM
What’s the point in arguing who’s to blame? It’s done and dusted and we have to move on. Everyone is partly to blame, Keegan, JK, MA and the players. Some would argue the fans too, but i’m not sure i agree with that. I hate MA but i think the people to blame first are the players, then MA then various managers.
40 hitman // Jul 5, 2009 at 2:29 PM
ffs will be back next week lol .i dont think the sale will drag on for another 4 weeks,well i fkin hope not
41 Rangerman // Jul 5, 2009 at 2:40 PM
I would fear for the clubs long term future if Shepherd bought the club without any rich backers.

has anyone else thought about the malaysian tour being a pr stunt to force the bidders hand. As tbh i wouldnt put it past Ma to do it even if it did get our hopes up, i just find it strange that they would get caught out when they keep everything quite. maybe its just my mind as i really do hope we get sorted this week
59 Rangerman // Jul 5, 2009 at 3:49 PM
If Shepherd buys the club then I think he will be putting the clubs future on the line in the short term, his gamble will be that Shearer will be able to get us back into the Premiership at the first time of trying and that he will also be able to shift some of the big earners, neither is guaranteed as Shearer is unproven in management and his record at the end of last season was hardly inspiring and moving the flops with big wages on won’t be easy as the likes of Barton and Smith know they won’t get that sort of money anywhere else.
He doesn’t have the money to subsidise the loss the club will make next year so it will be a case of getting as much money onto the overdraft as debt and worry about it if we get back up, the downside is if we do do that and the club doesn’t come straight back up then I think we would have to go into administration.
Long term if we do get back into the Premiership I don’t really see us making much of an impact because the league is mostly dominated by owners that put their own cash in where as we would have to operate as a club that spends whatever cash it generates as profit, we could take a loan out now we’re debt free but it will need paying back and with the sort of money being spent we would only be able to risk this for a season or two before we’re back in the position of being skint again unless we gain success from it like CL football, which is unlikely.
60 Big Dave // Jul 5, 2009 at 4:03 PM
Rangerman I think FFS coming back would be a good thing for a few reasons some being
He knows the club like no one else.
He is a Geordie with a deep love for the club
He is freinds with big Al
He wants to go down in history as being the one to save our club.
As for AS you cant say he wont be good because he didnt save us from relegation he didnt have long enough with a team full of indivedul players remem KK the year before when he came in how many games did we lose before we went on a good run.
61 Big Dave // Jul 5, 2009 at 4:05 PM
oh i meant to add that FFS would not have been my 1st choice but as time ticks on he is becoming my 1st choice. as allways better the devil you know.
62 Rangerman // Jul 5, 2009 at 4:12 PM
I’m not saying Shearer won’t make a good manager, I’m saying putting the clubs future on the line for a manager that is unproven apart from a few games at the end of last season is a risky strategy that could easily blow up in our faces.
Being a geordie and knowing the club inside and out didn’t do us much good in his final 3 years at the club and won’t do us much good now if he hasn’t got the money to compete, being mates with Shearer has more downsides to upsides too IMO.
63 Waddles mullet // Jul 5, 2009 at 4:16 PM
would rather have jimmy krankie than freddie back.
I feel sorry for the new owner if hes not a geordie,
The first mistake he makes and the malaysian, american or european mafia out banners will be out!
And what happens if he appoints big al and he loses the first 10 games?
64 LoonyToony // Jul 5, 2009 at 4:19 PM
Right now i couldnt care about anything..Im juist sat here waiting for a new owner to announce there intentions.
Ill be thinking about managers & transfers after that!
I put up that list of potential targets as tbh there was some great players there.
i will mention ONE player in there that would be awesome – Shuan St Ledger.
Originally im a preston Lad, Im from preston but have ALWAYS followed the mighty mags. Shearer was god to me as much as Sir Tom Finney.
but ive seen St ledger in quite afew matches and that lad is definatly Premiership material. So if we could get our mitts on him that would be awesome.
Anyways..Lets get back to reality. New owners first…then we go down the route of talking about managers and players as right now its all kinda pointless.

72 Nick D // Jul 5, 2009 at 5:15 PM
Taken from another site
The one good thing that Ashley did was save the club from administration, and delay relegation by a season after the mess that Shepherd got us in to. Don’t forget that all we could afford to replace Shearer when he retired was Sibierski, and the club had a net debt of £16.7m after he inherited net assets of £100m.
If Shepherd had not been bought out, we would have started last season in the Championship on minus points
73 Nick D // Jul 5, 2009 at 5:16 PM

74 Gary77 // Jul 5, 2009 at 5:32 PM
Just a thought but does anyone think it would make sence for
The club to let dowie take charge instead of hughton until the club is sold then if the new owners did have a different manager lined up instead of alan they wouldnt have to do the unthinkable and get rid of him and he could instruct dowie on what he wants done etc
75 Big Dave // Jul 5, 2009 at 5:36 PM
Gary77 i dont think Dowie would take it on anyway.

78 Big Dave // Jul 5, 2009 at 5:52 PM
Gary lol its a natural thing to do look for someone to blame, but i feel a wee bit sorry for hughton he is a good coach but sh1te manager but he has stated he has no interest in managing.
79 Gary77 // Jul 5, 2009 at 6:01 PM
He has been chucked in the deep end big dave and usualy i would say he could of said no but i couldnt imagine what ashley would do if he refused a direct order from the fat man lol. I just hope and pray the club is sold soon are i wont fancy our chances in the championship with a team of panic buy players
80 Ericles // Jul 5, 2009 at 6:08 PM
I think that is right. Hughton is a coach not a manager. He did not ask for the shite that has happened. Also I do have another younger cat. He is not black and white – unfortunately, and this is true, he resembles the away strip. Thanks for the condolences.

91 Big Dave // Jul 5, 2009 at 7:38 PM
in my opinion we would not have went into adminstration 100 – 110 mill was the debts 60+ mill was for the ground + 40mill running credit. I know what your saying but I dont think it was that bad ( could have been better ) but when you think liverpool have 3-400 mill, manure 600mill, chelski god knows as it is all interest free untill red rom wants it back so that could be atlest 500 mill. I honestly believe if Ma hadnt came along we would have finished top half EPL with BSA playing boreing football but still there. I really dont think FFS was as bad as people say

It could take weeks to sell the 2 of them.

TG

102 Toon Graeme // Jul 5, 2009 at 8:59 PM
Ryan – yep 0% shite 100% truth.
103 Rodzilla // Jul 5, 2009 at 9:00 PM
Toon Graeme, that’s that settled then. Vive la Krankies!
104 Toon_Factor // Jul 5, 2009 at 9:05 PM
I heard that Robbie Fowler and Steve Macmanaman have left the carrington training ground in Manchester. Both are very happy to join united as they can help their old pal Owen remove the splinters from his Ar$e due to all the bench sitting he is going to do.
105 Rodzilla // Jul 5, 2009 at 9:06 PM
TonyGreenSupreme, the papers talk sh1te mate, totally made-up story. I bought Collocini this morning at a car boot. 2 quid, gora rabbit hoyed in anarl. Bargain.

111 RyanToon // Jul 5, 2009 at 9:17 PM

112 RyanToon // Jul 5, 2009 at 9:18 PM

113 Rodzilla // Jul 5, 2009 at 9:20 PM
Ryan, going by the comment, I’d take a wild stab in the dark at TG being none the wiser than any other fker
114 RyanToon // Jul 5, 2009 at 9:23 PM
rodz i was only asking
and you was only saying
either way were all fck ed off with the situation
115 Rodzilla // Jul 5, 2009 at 9:23 PM
The Co-op near me had a couple of custard slices and a packet of Tiger Prawns in the reduced section this afternoon. I might buy them in a bit…..
116 Rodzilla // Jul 5, 2009 at 9:25 PM

117 RyanToon // Jul 5, 2009 at 9:27 PM

118 Stuart79 // Jul 5, 2009 at 9:37 PM
We really shouldn’t believe anything we read positive or negative.
I mean this NUFC.COM story. Why four weeks? Why would Ashley want to squeeze more money out of them?
He cannot afford them all to turn round and say fck Mike you asshole ya taking the piss!
I won’t be believing anything till it happens!
119 Rodzilla // Jul 5, 2009 at 9:38 PM
…soz Ryan, I made that last bit up
120 RyanToon // Jul 5, 2009 at 9:39 PM
how dare you rodz
121 Rodzilla // Jul 5, 2009 at 9:40 PM
Stuart, best way mate. But in the meanwhile we can aaaalwiz dreem……
122 RyanToon // Jul 5, 2009 at 9:41 PM
apparently ashley wants to sell 10 players b4 he sells
paper rumours
123 Stuart79 // Jul 5, 2009 at 9:43 PM
Does it really matter if the players are sold pre sale or post sale?
Their going to be sold anyway so the new owners aren’t going to be lumbered with them for very long if they bought the club now.
124 RyanToon // Jul 5, 2009 at 9:45 PM
agreed stuart
i dont think it would matter
also when i see that were close to a take over i wont get me hopes up, like i did with the malaysians!
125 batty // Jul 5, 2009 at 9:45 PM
RyanToon // Jul 5, 2009 at 2:13 PM
getting rid of emre and nzogbia was good buisness
<<< its only good buisness if you replace them m8
126 batty // Jul 5, 2009 at 9:47 PM

Hey Newcastle is a nice place, might have been shopping!! just thought i would let you all know!
130 Toon_Factor // Jul 5, 2009 at 10:02 PM
Why wasnt Nzogbia played more often?
131 batty // Jul 5, 2009 at 10:08 PM
ryan but zogs was a better cnt than nolan m8
132 batty // Jul 5, 2009 at 10:10 PM
big dave pack it in with all this freddy stuff you know it was his fault that we got relegated lol
133 Rodzilla // Jul 5, 2009 at 10:13 PM
TF Zog was played week-in week-out mate. NUFC fkd up by constantly using him as LB cover
134 Rodzilla // Jul 5, 2009 at 10:14 PM
…shades of Bernard
135 Toon_Factor // Jul 5, 2009 at 10:17 PM
From the daily star
Magpies eye Mifsud move- Daily Star on Sunday
“Former Coventry striker Michael Mifsud is being targeted as a possible replacement for Michael Owen at Newcastle. Is Mifsud the right man for Newcastle?”
>>>> Imagine him playing alongside Carroll, Carroll- 6ft 3, Mifsud- 5ft5
136 Toon_Factor // Jul 5, 2009 at 10:19 PM
Rodzilla
It was Fat Sam’s idea to play him there, and other managers copied. N’Zogbia was one of 2 Newcastle wingers who could cross and we decide to play him at left back.
137 Big Dave // Jul 5, 2009 at 10:20 PM
TF the misfits lol
138 batty // Jul 5, 2009 at 10:21 PM
TF ide rather have elmerfud

143 Toon_Factor // Jul 5, 2009 at 10:25 PM
A Freddie lover, tattooist and smoker. You need to sort yourself out Dave.
144 Rodzilla // Jul 5, 2009 at 10:25 PM
TF, we also resorted to playing Duff at LB, and Solano at RB the season before that. One factor smacks of incompetence – strength in depth
145 batty // Jul 5, 2009 at 10:25 PM
TF u attner very bright are y
146 Big Dave // Jul 5, 2009 at 10:25 PM

147 batty // Jul 5, 2009 at 10:26 PM

148 Rodzilla // Jul 5, 2009 at 10:26 PM

149 Toon_Factor // Jul 5, 2009 at 10:27 PM
Rodzilla
Or the unwillingness to play youth players.
150 batty // Jul 5, 2009 at 10:27 PM

151 Big Dave // Jul 5, 2009 at 10:27 PM

You’ve got to remember batty’s nearly 70 years old, its not his fault. When you get as old as batty you start spouting out the first thing that comes into your head.
163 Toon_Factor // Jul 6, 2009 at 12:08 AM

164 Early doors // Jul 6, 2009 at 12:20 AM
