I am harking back to the Keegan days when I could believe every story that was printed in the local press because we battled it out with everyone.

Newcastle United is being run on a day to day basis with no long-term strategy and ridiculous bombshells such as this ban dropped from on high, by an owner who doesn’t care and doesn’t have a clue. What a mess.

Chronicle Editor Darren Thwaites; “We may be banned but we will not be gagged. We all want Newcastle United to be successful but it would be nonsense to pretend the fans are happy about what is going on behind the scenes.”

This incredibly petty move by the club is indicative of how out of touch they are and how badly they handle anything, as though those in charge haven’t got a clue…and/or possibly having to carry out ridiculous snap decisions made by a remote Mike Ashley.
