Gemmill 48720 Posted November 6, 2006 Share Posted November 6, 2006 Right now I'm only person prepared to do this job Nov 6 2006 By Alan Oliver, The Evening Chronicle Freddy Shepherd returned to work today insisting he was ready to ride out the storm and "sort out" the massive problems at St James' Park. The United chairman is fully aware of the fans' protests against him - and has always said he would be prepared to stand down if another individual, prepared to pump millions into United's finances and take the club forward, steps forward. However, no such candidate has emerged and made such promises, so Shepherd feels he has no alternative but to soldier on in an attempt to revive United flagging fortunes. He was not present at St James' Park on Saturday to see United's horror show and defeat against Sheffield United or witness the protests - but he will have been hurt by the criticism. He did say today: "Right now it would seem I am the only one prepared to do this job and it is one I will continue to do to the very best of my ability and with the best interests of the club at heart." The United chairman has missed the last four matches, having been out of the country for compassionate and family reasons. He returned to Tyneside yesterday to find the club languishing in the Premiership relegation zone and to read reports of of fans calling for his resignation following Saturday's depressing 1-0 home defeat. On his return to his St James' office, Shepherd said today: "There is no doubt we are in a situation which needs sorting out and sorting out quickly. "None of us can be happy at the position Newcastle United find themselves in right now and it is up to everyone involved to get us out of it. "We have to do better and that means everyone pulling together for the good of the club to work through what are undeniably tough times." There have been reports of other organisations being ready to put money into the club or indeed even take over Newcastle United - but major shareholder Sir John Hall says there is no offer on the table. United could be excused if they told these organisations to put up or shut up. Meanwhile, contrary to reports over the weekend, Shepherd has no plans to sack Glenn Roeder. Reports linking United with Gerard Houiller and Alan Curbishley are untrue, although all Shepherd would say on this was: "We have been down this road before." Shepherd was due to have a lot to say to the United players when they came in from their training session at lunchtime today. He said: "I think it is time the players are reminded just who they are playing for." I can't believe he's going down to the training ground to deliver a personal message to the players. Totally undermines the manager. What a dickhead he is. As for being the only person prepared to do the job. Just fuck off you twat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gemmill 48720 Posted November 6, 2006 Author Share Posted November 6, 2006 Totally undermines the manager Not exactly the first time though is it. Totally takes the piss too seen as the players were playing their second game in 48 hours because of his greed, whilst he sat sunning himself in Mallorca.

Jesus, you can almosty hear Olivers slurping tounge up Fat Freds arse. The good old implication as if Shepherd was pumping millions into the club himself, when he all has done is buying some shares and making up for it by paying himself huge dividends and salaries.

Aye, although the players have to take a long hard look at themselves after a match like that, the personnel isn't right and that is ultimately down to the manager and the chairman and the, frankly disastrous, way the summer transfer window was handled by them.

That reads as if Shepherd himself is "prepared to pump millions into United's finances" when in fact he's taken out a hell of a lot more than he's put in.
