At least someone wants us?

That is the optimistic message that can be taken from the previous two days of Newcastle United non-mania. Two bidders have accepted the asking price of £100m, and while we still know absolutely nothing about anything, at least it seems a sale is now on the cards. Hopefully as soon as a takeover process begins, SOMEONE will appoint a manager. At the moment we are heading for a second successive relegation, no exaggeration intended.

As each day goes by, another player doesn't arrive and nobody leaves. Although thankfully, our supposed promotion rivals (supposed because it's debateable whether either team will challenge) Middlesbrough are making signings that make them look like they want to settle down in this league and become even more boring. Many will say that they'd give anything for us to be a bog standard boring Premiership team, but would they really? Surely as soon as this sickening situation is resolved, excitement will kick in. I quite fancy a shot at a league we can actually win. Looking at the other teams, its got the potential to be a cracking season - some big names down here these days, it could be fun? They might want to limit it to one season though, after all we've got the Champions League to qualify for. We are a very big club if you hadn't heard. Massive. Flop.

Shamrock Rovers should be an interesting game at the weekend. The team that plays surely will not be the team that plays at the Hawthorns in August. Will the line-up give any indication of who is staying or going? Surely they are all training together in Ireland now, giving it absolutely nothing? What a mess.

Xisco, £50,000 a week, I mean, 'omg wtf lol'?
