Alan Shearer’s No 1 target – Frazier Campbell – has put Hull City on hold saying he will not be rushed into sealing his £6million move, but how long will he hang around waiting for an offer from Newcastle?

Frazier Campbell wants to sign for Shearer … but Newcastle are STILL in limbo.

But as for Shepherd, its clear how poor were his powers of persuasion to make players want to join a well-run club. Instead he just threw fistfulls of club money, enough to make their eyes pop, and appealed to their worst motives of a big fat lazy payday for joining.
10% more money wasn’t enough and so we end up with under-motivated, unambitious players with no feeling for the club (in fact they must be laughing, frankly), who we now can’t get rid of.
Freddie gets to look like a wheeler and dealer when in fact he is making us the laughing-stock of Europe. Like a bunch of nouveau-riche rednecks. And this fool wants to buy back in? I hope he doesn’t get near the place.

Its not just the tabloids, its Rod Liddle in the Times as well. He’s no George Caulkin though, and just regurgitates the ‘delusional Geordie’ mantra with little understanding of the facts. He’s just another knock-kneed cockney lazy journo, who never writes with enthusiasm or positivity about sport, but always takes the easy ‘I’m hard-bitten and cynical, me’ tack.

If what is being written in the crap-loids is right, we won’t be getting new ownewrs & we’ll be stuck with Ashley until he decides he doesn’t want to play anymore & puts us into administration, which inturn will get us a 15 point penalty & because we can’t get rid of the greedy bastards who’re sucking us dry like Colocini, Jonas, Barton, Smith, Duff, Butt, etc, we’ll be relegated into League 1…. Then someone will come along like FFS & buy us for£20m & say he’s our saving grace & we should all be lucky to have him……

Persoanlly I would rather be paying these greedy bastards half a wage than a full wage as long as we’re able to get the wage bill down enough that some one, I don’t care who as long as it’s not FFS, comes along & buys the club from Ashley, at least then we can start to steady the sinking ship & hopefully the greedy bastards will decide to stay with the clubs we loan them too & then we get them off our books for good!!

If on the other hand, the crap-loids are talking testicles again! & someone is in the process of buying the club, even if it’s on for £80m – £95m, then I think we should just get rid of all those greedy bastards right now, no matter how much value we loose on them, just as long as they’re no longer our problem!!!

Been reading lots an saying nowt. Love reading fans comments but newspapers rehashed crap. Are there no reporters out there? All seem to be surfers repeaating roumour and opinion. All say FA desperite to sell – and loose millions? Overpaid players? Declare club bankrupt – it is. Take 10pt deduction reemploy players you want. All solved.

So we will be paying half or more of the wage bill to players like Martins , Colliccini, Guitirez and the rest even after the have left.
That must be at least £10 million a year and who is going to buy them when they can loan them? We will be stuck with a wage bill of around £60 million and then we need to bring in reinforcements, no wonder its taking so long to find a new owner.

shearer joined newcastle because they were his boyhood heroes.and although owen doesnt really know what loyalty ,passion and commitment are all about.he is what he is.a poacher who thrives on service,always has been and always will.we didnt provide him with that service.he scored more than oba last year and yet oba is a hero .as much as i hate to say it ,owen will score goals at man u.

Spiderpig – some of it may be but Allardyce or Warnock to manage the club, load of balls mate. He is one of the many who dont understand why Shearer joined Newcastle instead of ManU or why 50,000 turn up to watch rubbish, they never will so they hammer us for not being passive. Look at the way they have swung right behind ManU again, article upon article on how poor Michael Owen was treat up here and how he will soon be back in the England squad whilst most of their fans are still in shock at the crap replacement for Ronaldo and Tevez.

This si Shepherd’s legacy – no wage caps or ceiling in place.
Shepherd wanted to go ” Hollywood” and it’s killing us.
Having to pay half of someone’s wages for them to play for someone else. It makes you sick to the stomach what Shepherd has done to this club.
Adebayor is on 35K !!!!
