I wish we had as many people talking about Football as administrative issues. James – very good point and I wish more people were as passionate about the squad’s play as the front office situation.

There is a season to play and while the outlook is not rosy, which I never said it was, I'd prefer to focus on the task at hand of not getting relegated. If you think things are bad now, imagine if NUFC gets relegated. The club has a hard enough time attracting top talent being in the premiership.

If the club operates in a foolish manner, I will say it just as I will comment on the opposite. I hope you understand that my comment is meant with good intentions towards you but equally won't sit by a spin a yarn that things are rosy. They are not and if supporters like yourself stand up and be counted, they can change for the better. Thanks again for your joining in.

Mike Ashley bought the team, he's obviously not going to bow to the pressure of the fans, and he doesnt seem intent on selling NUFC. Now, im not drinking the fat man's kool-aid but its time to move forward. Keegan isnt coming back to coach players he doesnt want. If you support the club, support the club. If you support Kevin Keegan, wish him the best and move forward. He aint coming back. If anything, the players will need the fanbase's support in the weeks ahead. What's worse: Mike Ashley staying on as owner or relegation? I wish I could stay on board the hate train…but there is a season to be played and a team full of good players to support.
