Is Joeking back from his holidays, has anyone heard anything from him, as far as I can recall he has been on our books for 5- 6 weeks and all he has done is to mouth off twice go on holiday and fail to get his best mate to work with him,, and he is Director of Football, bring back Wacky Jacky (tyne tees television late 50s early 60s)

It's good we have not heard anything from him. He should stay in the background.

Only a week ago everyone was saying he needs to keep his mouth shut and just do his job. But now you want to hear from him?

You can't have it both ways.

I think the OP was saying it doesn't seem that JFK is doing anything including his job!

Dare I say it, I would rather keep hold of Shola and only get Gomis and a winger in than sign Bent, don't want an overpaid past his best journey man coming in on sky high wages for a couple of seasons to top up his retirement fund, in all honesty though I can't see us signing anyone, our signings were all done and dusted in January, let's face it our team as it is, is good enough to keep us in the premier league, probably somewhere just below mid table and that's all MA is ultimately interested in, honestly believe this time next year we will be seeing the back of mr ashley, think about it, all he's really been waiting for is his initial outlay back and taking into account the record £60m TV money for this season, lack of re-investment in transfer windows, lower wage bill, increase in revenue etc he's almost got that back. Stay in the league this year and he'll be off I reckon. Pd

Odds on Remy to join Newcastle slashed as rumour has it that a fee has been agreed, but West Ham have also joined the race.

So cisse says he will ware the shirt with wonga on it. just days after being spotted in a casino. 2 faced he has made himself look like a right mug. But let's move on and get these signings over the line ( a bit of sarcasm there)

Hit the nail on the head. The picture gambling in the casino obviously has had a lot of sway. Stand by for a transfer request? Surely that is what it was all about?

Just remember that Cisse's argument was with Wonga, not Newcastle football club.

He loves playing for Newcastle.

Do not take it personally.

How is he two faced?, how do you know what compromise has been made. There may of been a donation by Wonga to his charity for all we know.

Even if Wonga have made a donation which I highly doubt he will now wear the shirt which was previously against his religion. So what has changed? Has he had special dispensation from Allah himself? No he had been caught out gambling which is defiantly against his religion and backed down. Loves the club, then why drag it through the gutter with this stunt?

Well said

Caught out in a casino, don't make me laugh. Anyone who lives in Newcastle knows he frequents casinos he's never hidden it. It's just a stick to beat him with.

A stick to beat him with? What is wrong with you? He said he ain't wearing the shirt on religious grounds because he is a devote muslim and it offends his religion but is gambling in the casinos. He has brought this so called stick beating on himself with his double standards.

Muslim faith dictates you cannot break a contract with someone I believe. If so this may of been made clear to him by Muslim leaders at the sit down with him them and the club. If this is the case then whom ever sponsors NUFC is out of his hands and no conflict can occur. By the way there is nothing 'wrong with me ' thank you, I just try to look at things in a non personalised way. There are far to many folk/fans ready to jump on Cisse back. To be frank I don't care who he dates, where he goes or how much he gambles so long as he scores for the Toon. This should be your main concern as well instead of looking to slag the guy off at any opportunity. By the way club sources have said there was no financial incentives for Cisse in any of this matter re-Wonga. Get behind him and the team we need unity at the moment.

I certainly have no personal issues with Cisse. I couldn't care less what he does with his money or who he dates. But when I do start to care is when he drags the good name of NUFC into the press on religious grounds to quickly retract that after being pictured in the casino. So after all this merry go round why did he really do it because it certainly wasn't on religious ground was it.

Another player in the team with issues.
It gets better everyday.
No press releases, another week goes by. Hope all these new signings you are making, have time to gel.

I don't think Toon need any help dragging the clubs good name through the dirt. Our DOF and often our owner can do that plenty. I certainly don't think Cisse has and I'm sure SD and Wonga have gotten plenty of good publicity out of all this. It's not really been an embarrassment anyway just a contractual issue as far as I can see. The only embarrassment is for Wonga.

Would you be happy if Roberto Di Matteo became manager of Newcastle if Pardew is sacked/Steps down?

ED do you think he would be good? {Ed013's Note - I think he would be a very good choice}

I don't think it matters who the manager is as long as Joe calls the transfer shots to be honest.

I know pardew won't be sacked but if he is would fans like Marco bielsa?

I think most fans of any football club in the world would be very happy to have Biesla. {Ed001's Note - Bielsa is my favourite current manager, he worked wonders with Chile. I would love to see him manage in the Prem, he is a genius.}

What are your thoughts on Di Matteo?

Well all know who's lined up. kinnear will be the next manager. only after pardew pays Ashley the money he owes him that is {Ed001's Note - it is Llambias he owes money too.}

Joe Kinnear won't become manager he will stay DoF he is old and health getting worse. It will be a manager who is out of work

Ash is a big fan of darren ferguson and nigel clough, both great coaches who can work without a budget

More chance of their dads joining than those two.

i understand that ashley has had a offer for the club in the last week and this is the reason for the hold up with transfers in and out

Doubt it, it would just be a false leaked rumour so the board could say it not happen but that time it was too late to sign anyone.

Same old ploy During transfer windows say had an offer or its 4 sale then when it shuts no offers have been made etc etc bla bla bla

My brothers school friend mums auntie who lives in Liverpool saw an unopened letter outside anfield. Now she didn't read it but believes it was from Ashley offering 40,000, 002 for Suarez bidding higher than arsenal and scuppering the deal now this source is reliable.

I feel sorry for pardew. In all his failures last season I think that Ashley's plot to force him out by making his position untenable is just cruel. The man is looking worse every time I see him. If it was a choice between new owners or new manager I would choose a new owner instantly.

I really don't think this is a plot to get rid of pardew, I think ashley is willing to give pardew the second chance. If it is a plot then that's just totally ridiculous and unprofessional.
