No offense to any Newcastle United Fans, especially as the missus is one. But I think the fans expect too much from a club that has rarely had the players to match its ambition.
I agree, they have some of the best fans in the world and the most loyal and should demand a little success. But this season, the plan would have to be avoid relegation. Sell alot of the dead weight hanging about and bring in some quality, not at the price of an arm and a leg either.
Michael Owen needs looking at also, as he has done nothing for the club, but the club and fans want to believe he is there to replace shearer. C'mon Shearer can not be replaced, as he is a toon legend and was a much better striker.
I think Keegan is good for them but will need a lot of time, this season is over for Newcastle. Premiership survival and rebuilding is the order of the day.
