Looking back at these recent events, I couldn't but help thinking that Newcastle United's plight may have happened to us.
At the end of the day, the buck stops with the big guy running the show. It's the Chairman, Chief Executive, Sugar Daddy, etc. who makes the calls, and our very own nearly did a Newcastle on us.
Even before a ball had been kicked in the 2007/2008 season, our Chairman was looking over the hill at pastures greener.
Martin Jol, the man that had brought us our highest ever Premier League finishes, was cast aside for the next best thing; Ramos.
Only a few years prior to this happening, Newcastle's board had decided that playing Champions League football under the stewardship of Sir Bobby Robson wasn't enough for them. No, they had to aim higher!
Talk about nonsensical thinking. Since Sir Bobby's departure, the club so very much loved by so many, has imploded.
I and many others feel that this is just the beginning of the end for Newcastle United, for if they fail to appoint an experienced manager they may be cast off into oblivion.
Thank God our Chairman saw sense and reason by bringing in an experienced manager in Harry Redknapp. For if Mr. Levy hadn't of made that call in October 2008 to Mr. Redknapp, this article may have read differently.
