Excerpt from nufc this morning. As usual it explains my feelings: The unrelenting diet of disappointment that Newcastle supporters are fed shows no sign of altering, but while this remains a one club city, its fan base is no longer as stoic or steadfast as it once was. Estranged, perhaps. Good business then well doubtless be told, but another one those invisible threads connecting fans to their club has been severed when the proceeds are just trousered. Sadly, it becomes ever more justifiable for fans to also decide that its good business for them not to buy tickets - not just for meaningless cup ties, but for what are meaningless league games. Presumably the players would be fined for finishing in a European spot. Rather than there being a riot (as the Cabaye song says), there comes a point when people say why bother to financially or emotionally back a club whose deliberate policy is not to achieve anything of worth on the field. Selling your best player - again - is a neat way of highlighting that policy.
