Joe Kinnear remains the interim manager of the Magpies, but nobody is precisely sure how long his tenure will last at St James’ Park. It’s clear that the former Wimbledon gaffer would like this job on a full-time basis, and had been favourite to get the gig permanently until a recent shift in the odds…

Do you trust a word that comes out of Joey Barton’s mouth? After all, we’ve been here before with the words of remorse and the head hung low, although maybe the Newcastle midfielder has turned over a new leaf after his spell in prison.

Yazz sang that ‘The Only Way Is Up’, although Magpies supporters will be wondering when there will be an improvement in the club’s fortunes. This season, things have gone from bad to worse, despite the sub-standard manager that is Kevin Keegan leaving the club. Getting shot of him was probably a good idea, but only […]

The announcement that Mike Ashley had decided to sell up at St James’ Park was met with universal acclaim from the supporters, who have witnessed nothing but trouble since the rotund owner picked up the reigns at Newcastle United. However, it doesn’t appear as though a quick sale is going to happen, much to the […]

While most football fans have to put up with a decent chunk of disappointment, Newcastle supporters seem to have it tougher than most, with their club regularly featuring on the back pages for all the wrong reasons.

After all, this time last season, Sam Allardyce was manager and things were going relatively well at St James’ Park. Since then, he’s been axed, Keegan has been and gone as manager, while Mike Ashley has stopped […]

Just how farcical can the situation at St James’ Park become? Mike Ashley has seemingly done his level best to turn the club into a laughing stock, with virtually nobody interested in becoming Newcastle United under the current regime. The Magpies have found an interim manager in the form of Joe Kinnear, although it appears […]

While Magpies fans won’t believe it until they see it, there could at last be reasons for cheer at St James’ Park after the last few weeks of misery (or should that be years?). Yes, Joe Kinnear might have been a disappointing instalment as interim manager of Newcastle, although the ex-Luton boss has hinted that […]

Newcastle United are pretty rudderless at the moment; no manager, an owner who wants to sell, and freshly dumped out of the Carling Cup at the hands of fellow subterranean Premier League losers Spurs. Yet they still retain the hope of having someone, anyone, take on the role of manager.
