Ashley in the stands....a man at peace or one of worry?Newcastle Uniteds Chairman Mike Ashley feelsit istime he let the club move in a different direction..During a season for Newcastle United that can only Alex Bars Jersey be best described as a turbulent one to say the least, once again the owner of the club Mike Ashley has decided to place the football club up for sale for a price of one hundered million pounds. Over the years there has been the big we are a big club tag that has had a tendency to haunt newcastle as fifty thousand supporters and more come and see there local team week in week out with a backing that is second to none, there is no secret that the fans desire attractive fluid football that produces images that only the imagination can dream of, high scoring games are what Newcastle fans yearn for regardle s of the final scoreline.What money, managers and players..Over the last couple of years Mike Ashley has delved into his pockets and has spent money on players that he thinks can help this club move forward to be competing at the highest level, although this is what can be deemed as good intentions at the start of the season showed that appointing Kevin Keegan may only be the start of either a push for glory or the demise of a club that had been in the premiership for the last sixteen years, three managers over the currentseason just gone in the form of Chris Hughton, Joe Kinnear and finally the fans saviour Alan Shearer the team has seen itself slip out of the top flight and into the tough tackling league the championship. The battle to enter the premier league will be fierce and this requires that the club as a whole needs restructing and the need for re-balancing the structure and stability is vital so that it does not meet the demise of the late Leeds United team that at one point were in the semi finals of the champions league stretching out their palms in grasp of glory only for it all to fall apart. Management of the highest level at the club has realised it is time for a change and a new direction in order to ensure that its survives its latest ordeal, Mike Ashley has admitted that his love for the game more Arlington Hambright Jersey than having footballing management knowledge has not paid dividends the way that he intended, the set up of the youth system and trying to blood youngsters into a team that requires a constant flow of talent was all of a good nature, but it seemed having a director of football that controlled this had been the initial hurdle for a club that once in the early 1900s was playing regularly at the highest level.Should Dennis Wise had only played a part in scouring the world for youthful talent in order to enhance the future prospects of Newcastle United and left first team affairs to the manager then this could have been a different story altogether, the season could have ended with Newcastle either finishing in typical style of mid table or pushing the likes of Tottenham and Manchester City for a place in the Europa League instead a teetering on the brink of relegation season long.Towards the latter end of the season this became apparent and the board room distre s was there for all to see, in an expected fashion Dennis Wise decided to resign from his post therefore finally suggesting that the board had felt that the having a director of football was now finally a po sible indecent method of controlling who comes in and out of the club, this in particular was rectified true when the club attempted to sell michael owenbehind the managers back. Although this did not materalise one long serving member of the Dakota Dozier Jersey squad and mainly a fan favourite Shay Given felt that after the 5-0 humilation against Liverpool enough was enough and by the end of the transfer window had moved onto now the worlds richest club Manchester Cityfor an undisclosed fee which was deemed to be around the 6 or 7 million pound mark. For all the commitment Given had shown over thirteen yearsbeen the number one goalkeeper he felt that his time towards the end ofhis geordie a sociation was made sour due Isaiah Coulter Jersey to the relationship with the board that he clearly was justifiably unhappy with. Another man who had made a real name for himself atNewcastle was James Milner now of Aston Villa, the young winger had many attributes which showed that given the chance he could bleed black and white,his determination and committment to the squad when selected during match day was evident to see and this could have also been seen as a significant lo s.Time was not in Newcastles favour and selling their top a sests during the winter window of january 2009 meant that something needed to be done in order to save a very prestigious club from a po sible downfall, in order all attempts to savethe beloved black and whites fromdropping to the second tier of english football was not enough..with this now a reality what should be done forthe team to reinvigorate itself inorder to satisfy itself as well as the needs and feelings of a strong black and white following.Transfer influence....self inflicted or ordered to by the top bo ses?Newcastles Next Move..The new season isfast approaching and withthe club up for sale Justin Fields T Shirts it is vitally important that the club move forward swiftly but in a way that is going to preserve them for the future, there has been the talk that the companyseymour pierce has been placed in charge of trying to sell Newcastle to a number of supposed interested parties, one party in particular is rumoured to haveFreddie Shepperd the previous chairman before Mike Ashley in charge of a consortium that wants to take charge of the club and has pin pointedappointing Alan Shearer as manager, would be the man to take the club forward and return them to the promise land of the premier league. Whether many people would agree or not depends on whether or not he is given the time required to re-shape a club that has lost all of its stability and is facing a po sible ma s summer exodus in order to rebalance the club and ensure that it can bounce back at the first time of asking.The man to revitalise the toon???
