Back in OUR Relegation Spot

[usedtobeshearer]

It's not a case of stating anything as an achievement, it's pushing a positive against unbelievable negatives. It's almost as if this forum is for Newcastle United haters rather than a love for the club. It's as weird as all hell.

It's as if most of us have grown out of playing make believe. ..

Aye, only 4 points from 3rd and this after playing Arsenal home, Tottenham away and Liverpool away in our first 5 games.

It's fair to point out those three that we've played-BUT-we've all seen the signs before. We can see the 'quality' of the team we're watching, we know how weak it is and we know about the lack of quality of our manager (canny bloke, crap manager).

The fact that we're in the bottom 3 so early in the season, combined with the above, added to our all-too-recent experiences of relegation seasons or near-relegation seasons means that people are, quite naturally and understandably-and rightly imo, sceptical to say the least about our chances this season.

We'll see if he's crap for us. 5 games in isn't a time to judge that.
And past records for him does not suggest he's crap.

So that's Wolves knackered then by that thought process.

A manager who's had time to build his squad with bags of money against Bruce who's had 5 minutes and yet 5 games in we're goosed.
Nahhh sorry I don't buy into that negativity.

Wolves fans are also worried. However...the difference being that their manager has already proved he can get a tune out of his squad. Wolves have played fairly well in all their games other than the Chelsea one.

We've had one good performance and that was only defensively...by all means carry on like everything is going well..sadly that won't make it so.

As I was telling my Wolves fan mate, they’re having ‘Europa cup syndrome’ . After the group games they’ll be fine. We won’t.

For me the Club is in a mess from top to bottom. Under 23’s are rubbish we have one out and out striker in Joelinton. I don’t class Muto as a striker. We have a decent Second Division manager and back room staff but they are certainly not a Premiership Coaching Team

I dread to see the financial report for next year. Ashley took £30 million of his loan back, borrowed the money for Almeiron and now lodged another unspecified loan against 2019/2020 Sky Money

I hate being negative about the club
After the leicester game at the end last season I was ready to make a return to the club but that feeling of needing to go again has been totally blown away and I'll stick to my original stance of I'll not get a season ticket again until he sells.

This season may be the first time in nearly 40 years that I wont enter St James' Park

It would certainly be ironic (but, unfortunately highly possible) if Ashley took the club back into ‘Shepherd’ type debt.
The only defence of him that holds any water is he removed the threat of bankrupcy. From what I’ve seen he’d financially cripple the club in a heart beat if it favoured his other businesses.

We are crippled with debt now mate that is why no one wants to buy us Fatty wants the loan money back so he has vastly overpriced the club to recoup his debt.
