They have done the last couple of times, but they won't keep hold of ASM and I'd be surprised if Wilson wants to drop down to the championship in his prime.I think this is the year that the jawdees will go down, unfortunately though, they’ll do what they always do; manage to keep hold of their best players and absolutely ’smash the league’ next season.
The fans up there slate Ashley, but he always seems to bail them out when things go wrong.
Yes, home and away for one season as they do a Wolves and go through the leagues.Why, wouldn’t you prefer to be playing them?
I'm not sure he "bails them out" as such, he's just protecting his interests. His aim is to be 4th bottom in the premier league, spend as little as possible and get the premier league income. That's why the hate him, he has no ambition for the club at all.I think this is the year that the jawdees will go down, unfortunately though, they’ll do what they always do; manage to keep hold of their best players and absolutely ’smash the league’ next season.

I can see Chris wilder getting the Newcastle job.They have done the last couple of times, but they won't keep hold of ASM and I'd be surprised if Wilson wants to drop down to the championship in his prime.
Other than that Fernandez, Willock, Saivet, Atsu, Murphy, Gayle and Carroll are all out of contract.
Schar, Dummett, both the Longstaffs, have 12 months left so they will have a decision to make on those.
That doesn't leave a lot of quality left. They'll have some financial clout in the championship, but I think they're at least 4 good signings away from a championship winning side.
I think they’ll stay up and from our point of view, If they come down, it hinders us as then they’ll just buy their way back up leaving one less promotion place for us to play for.
if we went up next season and they came down so we passed them on the way, we’ll that’s different......
That's not huge amounts in the premier league nowadays. He just does enough to tick over and pays decent fees for players he thinks they might profit on.Ashley HAS backed them with big money signings
Joelinton £40m ,Wilson £20m , Lewis £15m , Almiron £21.6m , Maximin £16m , just for starters , £113m , but poor signings .
I think they will stay up , just , Rafa will come in and improve them next season , but I am happy to see them 4th bottom every year .
As said , we don't want the skunks relegated , if they did they will buy the league by selling the above and getting proven English quality in .
It is going to be hard enough for us without them in our league .
Ashley is simply doing enough to milk the Prem moneyThat's not huge amounts in the premier league nowadays. He just does enough to tick over and pays decent fees for players he thinks they might profit on.
Also I can't see Rafa going back at all
They’d have as much chance getting Lionel Richie inThey are certainly having a good go at it. I’m surprised Bruce hasn’t been sacked yet though maybe Ashley is too busy with his sale to care.funny I had a Newcastle fan associate of mine telling me how they were going to sign Lionel Messi at the beginning of this season, funny how things pan out.
