I would ask Arsene Wenger to name his price.

 

Selling the ground as well are we ? :o

 

Roeder's number is up. I defended him against all comers, but the match v. Fulham was the last straw. It's all right to complain about an injury-wrecked squad, but selecting Bramble/Carr over Solano/Edgar/Hunts is more than shocking tbh. Roeder falls back on terrible players when he has real talent on the books, just like with Ameobi. Nae doubt as soon as Baba recovers he'll be hobbling onto the pitch while Taylor has a seat or some such shite.

 

Players won't change the Toon's fate now. We need a regime change. Sack Roeder and ship him back to West Ham (because Lord knows Curbs is going to need the help) and bring in someone of real quality who has a vision for this club, and not just another stop-gap. Leazes is right.

I'd sign Greg Halford, Curtis Davis, Bale, Barnes, Nugent and Ashton. I'd also put the feelers out about Woodgate returning. If I was appointing a manager I'd go for Hiddink and offer him complete control (but I don't think that plus £50mil would be enough to persuade him).

The bit in bold is what I would do also, ensuring that he brings his backroom and scouting staff with him.

Than like a good chairman step back and let him sort it out!
