Newcastle United Season 2008/9

[Bully]

Don't write off big Al just yet fella's

Hull are on free fall and only 3 points ahead of Newcastle. Toon have Boro yet and after todays defeat to Arsenal (although Boro did ok for much of the game), and that 2nd by Fabregas against the run of play must have broken their spirit. I would expect Toon to do Boro and Hull just can't buy a win.

Ummmm.

Ummmm

not much from the villa supporters over the toon going down. was waiting on the 'goin down' song to be sung towards the end of the game

Following defeat at the hand of Aston Villa today, relegated Newcastle United are seriously looking into the possibility of joining the Scottish Premier League. Newcastle United could join a rejigged Scottish Premier League as early as the 2010-2011 season, owner Mike Ashley announced this evening following his club's relegation from the English Premiership.

The SPL has long been dominated by Celtic and Rangers "the Old Firm" and the prospect of northern English clubs joining them would lead to increased TV revenue and a dramatic rise in international interest.

With Europe an increasing obsession, clubs like Manchester United, Arsenal and Liverpool desire a reduction in the size of the Premiership. But in Scotland's case an INCREASE in the size of the league by adding northern giants such as Newcastle, Middlesbrough and Blackpool would give the league added appeal.

No one should doubt the seriousness of Newcastle's intentions in heading North. Mike Ashley, Newcastle's majority share-holder, said on Sunday that a move was "inevitable", adding that he felt "let down" by both Sky Sports and the Football Association whom he claimed had given him "assurances" that Newcastle would avoid the drop. But defeat against Champions of People's Hearts, Aston Villa, put paid to those "promises".

Brian Quinn, Celtic's chairman, claimed at Celtic Park on Sunday that the top Premiership clubs "relish" the prospect of joining the Old Firm, a view endorsed by a fat man with no shirt on outside Villa Park after Newcastle's lacklustre defeat.

The Premier League insist there are "no plans" to change the structure of the 20-strong division. But with Newcastle no longer under their jurisdiction the Toon Army would be free to move to the Scottish league where Ashley claims they would "get the love and respect" they "deserve".

Jumping borders may concern UEFA, not to mention the Scottish and English FAs, but Newcastle know their lawyers would have a case at Brussels where, in a world altered by Bosman, they could argue restraint of trade and movement. UEFA might struggle to explain why Monaco can play in the French League, Cardiff City and Swansea in the English but Newcastle cannot in the SPL.

"This club deserves to be in the Champions League year-on-year", Ashley concluded, "and a move to Scotland - our natural home some would say - means our amazing fans would get what they deserve".

The SportsDirect mogul went on to add that "the additional revenue generated would benefit the Scottish game immensely. I'm sure that the Scottish fans would be grateful to have us there and we'll show English football what they're missing. We were badly let down this season. Sky Sports and the Football Association promised me that they would ensure our Premier League survival if I appointed Alan Shearer as Manager for a publicity stunt. Now I'm left feeling that I've been made to look a right "publicity stunt" myself."



This is too damn funny. Tonight I thank God for giving us Newcastle Utd

Jose Mourinho was quick to quell the rumours linking him with the Newcastle job, saying: 'I'm not that special.'

OMG, he can't be serious can he? Not about joining the SPL, about Sky Sports and the FA's "ensuring their Premier League survival"? How did they propose they would do this? Fixing matches? Paying off referees? The mind boggles! There's no way he could have said such things, he couldn't be so stupid! Could he? If he is, he shouldn't be in charge of a Premier League club! Oh wait, he's not!

Was thinking the same thing. It's pretty clear, you finish bottom 3 and your gaaaaaaawwwwwwwwnnnnnnnnnnnnnn.

[devilsadvocate]

The SPL thing is a wind up lads. The bit in the report that says a 'fat shirtless man outside villa park' is a piss take on Mike Ashley.

I found it hilarious.

[Bully]

well good ridance to them, IF they can think they have a chance against teams like Celtic and Rangers then let them keep thinking that. I want them to go there because if they again get relegated from that league im sure they wont just be allowed back into the championship , im sure like every other team entering a football club they would have to start wayyyyyyy down the bottom??
