... as demonstrated by Mike Ashley!

He's going to stay, appointed Hughton, and suggested he's going to allow naming rights to St James park!!!

I can see him swinging from Grey's Monument in Newcastle city centre within the week if he carries that last one out!

how about renaming it ' big fat useless tossers what a waste of money Park'
or in memory of that Cliff Richard classic ' Kevin doesn't live here anymore!'

In fairness to Mike Ashley he came in and decided Newcastle wasn't going to be run in such a way as to have debts of hundreds of millions and paying ridiculous transfer fees and wages for a team not in the champions league anymore.

This made them find their level in many ways and engage an organic process of progress. What he really f*cked up was bringing in Dennis Wise as DoF which is the most unfathomable decision I've seen in donkeys years.

He's clearly not the brightest man in the world and you put him in charge of the structure of your football club! And he starts buying players over the managers head which leads to you losing a good manager and a circus of errors following that. Ridiculous.

But what I'm saying is it wasn't just Ashley, it was also the problems from the previous administration that he also had to deal with. They might have temporarily gotten away with it for another year if he'd continued spending money they didn't have.

Having said that he's just appointed clipboard Chris as his manager. Dennis Wise and Chrissie 'decent coach' Houghton.

They might get up this year due to still largely having a premier league team and being by far the strongest squad in that division but they will go nowhere long term with those two. I like Houghton as a man and I'm sure he's at least a decent coach but he's not a manager at all as far as I can see, and his record as a caretaker in the premier league is really awful.

I know! He was on Sky Sports 1, with Jeff Sterling or Richard Keys recently, cant remember what game was shown...probably a Chelsea one. My God his grammer was terrible and making real basic mistakes...quite embarrassing really.

I saw that mate! It was embarassingly bad and I'm not really a stickler for grammar, but for God's sake.

And he's put in as one of the main cogs in the wheel of a 100 million dollar enterprise!

I reckon Mike Ashley got really lucky in business before because surely appointing the right key staff is a big part of any business.
