Are we being bullied?

......If you have the stomach for it.......Ater this weekends dismal offering from our players it seems the whole of football is on our case. Pundits, press, media and ex pro's have wasted precious little time in sticking the boot in to just about every aspect of the club.
Now I'm no Mike Ashley fan as you know, but the bloke must be tearing his hair out at what he's seeing right now.

He has intrusted his board to spend the clubs money and equip us with the personal to right the sinking ship that was Newcastle united last season. The problem is, it was always going to take a lot more than £50m to put us back on track due to the fact other teams are so far ahead already and have strengthened in the summer, we are in effect playing catch up. The board should be aware of this and should of made it clear to him that a massive clear out was in order and some real Premier League experienced players HAD to come in.

The fact that this hasn't been pressed home to Mike is either negligence on their collective parts or they are towing the party line. Maybe Mike Ashley is dead set on this young one for the future policy we have. Still I can't help feeling, if the collective board all made it clear it could send us down because of lack of on field experience ; you would think being an astute business man he'd pay heed to such advice.

Well we have what we have now, until january anyway, given this situation we must stick with the manager and players until the next window. There has been talk of dressing room problems with one or two players, isn't there always? If true they must be dropped from the first team and kept away from them and put in the reserves to rot until they can be sold. We have the whole football world on our backs we don't need to have our own players and fans turning on each other, not 6 games into the season.

The amount of vitriol from ex pro's, pundits and the media is looking like bullying now and we must unite to fend them off in my opinion. Ofcourse there is an argument that says this is what happens when you ban various press outlets and have prefered media partners . Frankly there is no excuse for some of the over the top slating of the club this week end. Yes we have young unexperienced players who may or may not make the grade but to write them off in the way some have is well over the top.

Right now some aren't up to it, I would agree but that is not their fault, that blunder lay at the door of our recruitment department, but even Mr Carr may have his hands tied, who knows. Let's try a different tactic and get behind the team and manager, and let the bully boys do their worst. At least this time they can't blame the fans when it goes to rats.
