Would love to see Laudrup as our manager, he always talks with intelligence and has a philosophy on the game that would excite the fans.
Forget the season they have had to date we know through experience how hard it is to juggle europa league, make no mistake if we don't act fast to at least sound the guy out then someone else will, top coach and great opportunity for Ashley to right some wrongs.

Totally agree mate. He will bring a style of football that Geordies simply adore. We cannot let this luxury opportunity pass by. Here's a little plan that I think can work for all parties including Ashley.

We know that when required, Ashley WILL spend the money, as January 2013 proved. But I think the reason why we haven't bought any players was because of JFK, he simply did not have the business mind to buy players, we could have got much more money for Cabaye if we still had Llambias like. But anyway, here's what I think we should do IF Ashley doesn't sell in the summer.

1. Sack pardew
2. Appoint Michael Laudrup
3. Appoint Graham Carr as director of football
4. Appoint Nicola Cortese as executive chairman
5. Sack carver, stone, charnley
6. Let Laudrup appoint his own assistant manager (probably morten Weighorst) and coaching staff.

The reason why I think this could work WITH Ashley:
Graham Carr and Laudrup and their scouts will be excellent, they will be able to scout cheap gems like they have done with Cabaye and Michu etc. Ashley always likes bargains. Carr has a greater role, therefor we will be able to get more gems without kinnear having to interfere.
Ashley probably will spend 20mil max, I reckon with cortese, Carr, Laudrup and their scouts in charge, they will be very much able to buy quality within that budget.

It's just whether Ashley will actually do this, which is highly unlikely

Sounds all well and god JToon but would Cashley treat Laudrup the same he has treat Pardew. What we must not forget Cashley only ambition for us is to stay in the top 10 and use SJP as a giant advertising board for sports direct. Why would Laudrup work under those conditions.

HOW can you blame JFK for not buying players, who owns he purse strings do you not think ashley told him he he didn't want to spend, carefull what you wish for he might bring him back as manager, you allpaise pardew when h was getting manager of the month awards, fickle comes to mind

Gip Agree its amazing is it not

5.) 05 Feb 2014
Gip how can you come on here and banging on about fickle. Think back to your recent management and then decide who is fickle. Bruce best thing since slice bread was going to get you into Europe. Didn't happen and you lot called for his head. Next it was O Neil, new messiash, same result. Di Canio and so on. Your the most fickle fans in the game. Only fill your ground for a concert.

Fnuklnuk, I can me on here and say what I want, it's a BANTER site, agree with you about Bruce but I actually thought he done ok for us, martin oneil would have took us down, his wife was bad so she took preference over the club, dicanio was mistake but kept us up, you are safe just accept you have been beaten again by the better team 3 times in a row all the crap we have had to put up with from your lot we are entitled to have our say,

7.) 05 Feb 2014
At what point did I say it was not a banter site or mention the derby defeat? Also you are entitled to have your say but to call a set of fans fickle when you lot are the worst for it is laughable. Pot, kettle springs to mind. You are very excitable Gip. Remind how big is the gap?

8.) 05 Feb 2014
Haha, ownage fnuklnuk ;)

9.) 05 Feb 2014
The gap is getting smaller, points wise, team wise we are better P0y3t has us playing great posssion football
ownage ya having a laugh JT you don't even attend games

10.) 05 Feb 2014
So after your derby win you are the better team Gip? On the day you were but over the season that is something different. That is like us saying we are better than Chelsea because we beat them and then them winning the league. Whilst I like Poyet, you lot said the same thing when PDC was in charge of the derby. Be careful banging those drums again.

11.) 05 Feb 2014
Mainly because I live right down in the South and it would cost a load of money to fly up there and right now I don't really want to attend games with the current situation.

Nice one

On current form the gap between us will close very quickly.
Sunderland performance over the last 6 games= 6th.
Newcastle performance over the last 6 games= 17th.
Sunderland looking good.
Newcastle looking at life without Cabaye.
