da dobrowin: The relegation scrap is really heating up this season, with the likes of Norwich City, Swansea City, AFC Bournemouth and Swansea City in the running to join Aston Villa in the Championship. Another side who are in real danger of dropping back into the second tier of English football is Newcastle United.
da realsbet: For a club with such great tradition and history, as well as having big stature and a plethora of good quality players past and present who have worn the famous back and white shirt, it’s sad to think the Premier League could experience another season without Newcastle.
The fans have constantly been on current boss Steve McClaren’s back ever since he was appointed in the summer. Even the mega spend of £30m in the January transfer window on the likes of injury prone Andros Townsend, Jonjo Shelvey and Henri Saivet has not exactly worked and the faithful Newcastle supporters have simply had enough.
Reports have surfaced that if the Magpies were to lose at St. James Park against the Cherries, who are also battling the drop zone, Steve McClaren will be given his marching orders. A 3-1 loss to Eddie Howe’s men has not only put the former Derby County and England chief under a poised axe, but provoked a reaction from the Newcastle supporters.
