You need to rename the article, try plain and simply “Whitewash.”

Heres something to look at http://www.nufcmismanagement.info/Shepherd_Letter.pdf

Rayne Wooney and Chris,

Here is a link to the Evening Chronicle Rayne (what a name!) is talking about – written by Adam Jupp and Lee Ryder.

Specifically our total liabilities are 152.7m. and of that about Â£80.9m can be considered as the total debt.

Just to keep it short: If you don’t have a clue about what you have decided to write about don’t put it into the public domain where it will insult and anger those of us who spend vast amounts of money following the club. Yes Shepherd is great woohooo he allowed all HIS bad appointments waste our money without putting any of his own in. He, being the only top flight chairman to take out more than he puts in. Please do research before talking tripe. Thanks.

Don’t know why everyone seems to be so offended by this article. At least someone on this website is trying to be positive about our club which makes a change. (if you’ve read pretty much any article written by Ahmed Bilal then you’ll understand)

Rayne Wooney – the quote about the country home and the country-side etc was meant to be a little bit tongue in cheek from me.
I was born and bred in St. Anthony’s estate – Newcastle – between Walker and Byker – and went to school initially at Wharrier Street primary school and was in Newcastle until I was 26.
You know when that happens you are a Geordie and Newcastle fan forever!
I’m very proud to have Newcastle – and that of my kids (who were born here in the States) – as our heritage – (my wife is from Newcastle) and am very well aware of the beautiful craggy countryside between Newcastle and Berwick.
Kind of knew this would be a contentious article – but let’s try to keep it civil (well as civil as possible as we debate and argue) – I don’t condone Shepherd and Hall’s behavior in Spain at all – it was an absolute disgrace – but I was pointing out some good things I think Shepherd has done – Newcastle United is a lot more known and liked – globally – than you may know or even believe – for me that’s good.

rayne wooney that would be a play on words right! Fat bloke scores some good goals, used newcatle quite nicely to raise his own deal at man u. your beining to sound like a man u fan who has got boss hogg running his football club. As our academy players start to come through and were already seeing the benifits then newcastle will become again a force in world football. Considering we have not won much for some time we,ve still won more than most and never been lower than the 2nd tier. Not sure why we are always refered to as wannabes. We were and we will be again, its just a matter of when.

1) Craig said that about the debt, not me.
2) I’m fairly sure that this site is UK based, not American. Ed’s based in the US, yes, but he’s Geordie through and through.
3) Roeder only got West Ham relegated, and that happened whilst he had a brain tumour.
4) I’m a lifelong Man United fan, so there goes that shit about me being on Shepherd’s pay role.

he should stick to the admin. side of the club and leave football matters to a first class manager not a loser like roeder.
