@yourservice 67 Posted November 12, 2006 Share Posted November 12, 2006 I'LL GO WITH A TROPHY SAYS FREDDIE SHEPHERD BELEAGUERED Newcastle chairman Freddy Shepherd last night vowed: "I'll go when I've won a trophy!" Shepherd received fierce criticism from Toon fans after last week's defeat by Sheffield United and is facing a takeover battle with the Belgravia Group. But he told People Sport:"We have not won a major domestic trophy since 1955 and it is 37 years since we won our only European honour. If I can end that run, that will be the time for me to walk away. It has proved a more difficult task to win a trophy than I thought it would be when I joined the board 14 years ago. But, yes, I'd retire if we won something. "No-one is indispensable. It is a possibility this season. We are still in three cup competitions. If we win something I'll probably walk away naked! It would mean everything to me as a Geordie. That is all I want to do: win something and then leave with a Cup. "I am satisfied with what I have achieved off the pitch. I have helped create one of the finest stadiums in Europe and a top-class training ground. That is my legacy." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bombadil 0 Posted November 12, 2006 Share Posted November 12, 2006 We are still in three cup competitions. If we win something I'll probably walk away naked! It would mean everything to me as a Geordie. That is all I want to do: win something and then leave with a Cup. In a way, that quote says it all. All he's interested in is personal glory and his bank account. He probably wouldn't be too bothered if we were relegated, as long as we won the League Cup and he could present himself as some sort of Geordie saviour who finally ended the club's trophy drought. He should be focused on putting the club on solid, long-term foundations on and off the pitch instead. But hey, that would require 'planning'. The positive thing is that winning a cup will be even better if it means the fat thief fucks off for good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Papa Lazaru 0 Posted November 12, 2006 Share Posted November 12, 2006 I don't think he will ever win a cup. I don't know, in the USA there are plenty of competetive eating trophies up for grabs, he'd have a shot at any one of them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimbo 172 Posted November 12, 2006 Share Posted November 12, 2006 BELEAGUERED Newcastle chairman Freddy Shepherd last night vowed: "I'll go when I've won a trophy!" So why would he be wanting to own the club ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sicklee Sausage Roll 0 Posted November 12, 2006 Share Posted November 12, 2006 We spent almost ten years raking in the money from the Premiership and various Euro competitions before we had decent training facilities, and we're still paying for the ground, and still will be when he eventually fucks off.

Ted Maul 0 Posted November 12, 2006 Share Posted November 12, 2006 Hopefully him talking about his legacy is a sign that he's thinking of calling it a day. He's either thinking of hanging up his steak bake and 'Big Book of Embarrasing Things to say as a Football Chairman' or is preparing himself for the long haul. It all depends on the way you look at it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
