you cannot place fault or­ blame on any individual player,for the most part they­ are devoted professionals.the poor performances­ relating to this team,have been created probably­ through a number of factors,
each player is trained to­ command a certain position on the field.
A single­ mistake at premiership level can mean defeat.
when a­ team begins a loseing run,confidence begins to fall­ away and the fear factor comes into play,fans often­ villify certain players for errors on the field.
if the­ position does not change,very quickly the whole team­ begins to believe there are serious problems within­ it,consequently they begin to turn on oneanother,the­ blame game,further diminishing confidence.the manager­ mistakenly starts taking advice from certain players­ ,who,! is not pulling their weight,the barton incident­ is a case in point,the players turn on each other with­ dire consequences.when this happens you can be certain­ that the manager has lost the dressing room,player­ power now shows its ugly head,the manager is now just a­ figurehead with the dominant players ruling the­ roost.
That is why a player turned manager cannot­ manage.the manager has to be imparcial and control with­ his brain,and not be influenced by the nonsense in the­ dressing room,if the team are not getting on,mr manager­ has to fix it quick,and regardless of a certain players­ talent remove the problem and restore respect,owens­ body language of late has been one of fear and­ inconfidence,i suspect that the dressing room has­ become one of total anarchy,fear on the pitch from­ whatever source has created their poor performances.
so­ to summaries,the events caused within the managerial­ system,ultimately caused the dressing room to­ implode,and resulting in the relegation of newcastle­ united."Hey you are right,we are not all fools and­ idiots".!!!!!!!!!!!gran

hey up melvin garbage.
The buying and selling of­ players is a feature of all professional clubs,indeed­ you might be surprised to know,that quite a few of­ these clubs owe their current survival by making a­ profit selling their best players,and indeed the clubs­ fortunate enough to have thir youth academies,gives­ them the opportunity to develop players for this very­ market.eg wayne rooney,etc when these players are sold­ there is the inevitable backlash from the fans.the­ shareholders,directors chairmen all have to make a­ profit,eg the money may be required to improve the­ stand,eg arsenal.players are sold more seats are added­ more bums on seats,more cash in the till.other clubs­ sell just to survive,for a successful club,eg manu,the­ enormous cash offered for top players gives them­ quality in the field,which in manu,s case leads to more­ success,and players wanted by everyclub on the planet,i­ seem to recall keegan quoted at a manu match "a­ substitute bench you would die for"unquote.another­ reason that certain players are bought is to prevent­ talented player from going to a close competitor,eg saf­ refused to release heinze to liverpool etc.
Arsenals­ case is the perfect casebook scenario,a wealthy paid up­ no debt club,under the guidance of wenger,top players­ plenty of cash,and yet some of those fans are­ questioning wengers ability,why? because the last few­ seasons have not produced the trophies,yet,some of­ their football has been mindblowing.
The fans need to­ understand that when they make their comments,there is­ much much more to the picture,football is a business­ run on for the most part business ideals.
the­ glamour,hype,media all contribute either individually­ or collectively to this business its the cover,the­ cosmetics,the makeup if you like that conceals the­ truth.this is what attract the fan to the clubs,to­ imagine, yes imagine you are part of the victory or­ glory buying your identity,the shirt the badge,then it­ all goes wrong.

if newcastle believe that shearer has the­ quality,acumen,talent,ruthlesness to become a­ manager,then i am afraid they are very much­ misguided,the toon hordes as usual are opting for their­ favourite sons.I must say that shearer cannot and never­ will be an saf or mourinho,but in all honesty,a top top­ manager must be the priority for newcastle.thats easier­ said than done,the structure at newcastle has for a­ long time now been flawed,any top manager would not­ touch newcastle with a barge pole,a total clear­ out,change of attitude,stop the interference of­ outsiders from influenceing decisions.
If the fans want­ shearer,then shearer must be no2 under a more­ experienced manager,eg venables,shearers job then­ should be the watchful eye on the dressing­ room,monitoring players performance and­ attitude.leaving the number one to weild the­ axe.
Shearer would do well to ask advice from saf,and­ the like,look at the structure of the top four,maybe­ then,just maybe newcastle when they return to the­ premiership.this process may take several­ seasons."BUT THIS IS WHAT IS REQUIRED".

Oh now i see . . .­ 'that's' why you are the most reviled set­ of supporters in the land!
Good on you; you do your­ club so many favours . . . NOT!!!!
We will NEVER be a­ dirty leeds.
NEVER!!!!!

dont compare us,the mighty leeds united, with this­ shower...glad your down asyou ripped us off when we­ went down, what goes around comes around.leeds leeds­ leeds

well you're the expert on relegation­ aren't you?
How many times has it been, and with­ how many points . . .12 was it!

i think the premier leauge has seen the last of­ newcastle utd.they will dwindle away over night,about­ time the fans got a wake up call

Sleepy Jazz I think you missed another positive. At­ least you get not one but 2 trips to Europe, well Wales­ anyway should be a canny ride out on a­ Tuesday/Wednesdat night.

just wondering, which newcastle players would you blame­ it on? Question for anyone/everyone

not singing a toon now are ya? u bunch of whingers

Let me tell you this, not all Toon fans are stupid.­ Some us love the game and are stuck with a team which­ is rotten to the core. But what can we do. Stop­ supporting the club that's in our hearts? So get­ off our backs, and get off our site you weirdos.

We­ deserved to be relegated. It nearly happened last­ season, but greedy CASHLY didn't learn from his­ mistakes. He gambled with the club's status, sold­ decent players, brought in ( via Wise et al ) poor­ replacements, and didn't get rid of the dead wood­ dragging us down like Owen, Butt, Barton and Duff, to­ name a few. Even in January, when it was obvious that­ we were in trouble, he sold off Given ( hero ) and­ Nzogbia
( a player without the heart to battle for OUR­ club ), for a collective 12 million, and then only gave­ the club 4 million back to spend on new players in­ which to fight a relegation battle. And let's not­ forget that for some reason, Ashley then allowed Ameobi­ to be given a new 3 year contract. What's that all­ about? Maybes Ameobi might find he's playing at the­ right level for the next few seasons. We deserve­ better.

Just think on chumps. If this can happen to­ us. It can happen to you. People Like Ashley, Shepherd­ and Hall jnr are killing this game.

Shearer is no quitter, he can do the job, all your­ troubles lie with the overpaid players that all clubs­ have, not the Chairman, not the Manager but the­ players, I am sure that there are groups of players­ that can and do play poorly in order for the manager to­ get the sack, these need to be identified and got rid­ off! players should be prepared to die for their club­ on the field or be sacked!!! ordinary people would lose­ their jobs if they continuously performed poorly so why­ is it different in football? Newcastle take heart, you­ will not do a Leeds but you will need the people at the­ top to be strong and willing to make the changes that­ some people will not like, Lay off Mike Ashley it is­ not his fault,he does not go out on a saturday to try­ and score goals for Newcastle United! ordinary people­ are not aware of the reasons behind Keegans departure­ or many other things that go on in a football world and­ it is so easy to vent anger at the figurehead of the­ club, if everything is as bad as Shearer is saying then­ Newcastle need to get to work straight away and start­ wielding the axe,start from the bottom and work up­ rapidly, get it all in place, you have about 6 weeks!­ you will need a few fighters and battlers in the side­ but most of all you want about 16 players who will give­ their all, win lose or draw every week,no matter­ what!!! I think you will come straight back up and as­ champions, but it wont be easy, I just wish I was in­ football, there would be no shirkers at my club, they­ would be sacked! contract or not!!! Good Luck Newcastle­ you have some of the best supporters in the land, now­ get out there and play the football they want to see!­ you should frighten everyone else in the division if­ you can do this!!

Two positives about being relegated:
1) Ashley has­ lost money :)
2) We get rid of all the @#$% players we­ have. The only people worth keeping are Harper, Krul­ and Carroll. Get rid of everyone else.

We should be­ looking for young hidden talent not buying old rejects­ from big clubs. Instead of paying Owen £100k a week we­ should have spent that money on hiring some good scouts­ who know what they are doing and building on the youth­ academy.

What a fricken disaster. I don't know what is­ worse.. being relegated or the thought of more seasons­ drifting along doing zero. If this finally prompts­ someone to sort out this mess then it could be a­ blessing in disguise. We weren't good enough to­ stay up... simple... and we may struggle to return to­ the top flight any time soon. I agree with Shearer­ that we have some players there who care very little­ about the club and the sooner the parasitic @#$%­ dissapear the better.

On the brighter side Blackpool­ is always a good day out.

Shearer my harse, he knows feck all about management,­ all he kept saying was that we will stay up. Well they­ didn't. I hope the toon army are proud of their­ choice of manager, and chant his name in the lower­ divisions. You got what you deserved.

Shearer was a fantastic player and is very loyal to­ Newcastle. I am sure he will return the team to the­ Premiere League right next season. Good luck Alan. We­ wait for you to be back soon.
