Ex-Toon Coach: 'People Upstairs At Newcastle Must Have Right Attitude'!
"I did predict that when Graeme Souness was appointed. So I wasn't surprised to see what happened within 18 months."I said to Russell Cushing (then the club's chief operating officer) at the time that the club would be where Blackburn are - and sadly I was proved to be right.
"That hurts me being a local lad.
"Being brought up with the club and loving it like I do, it hurts a lot."
"I'm not being bitter when I talk of the decline, the facts are there.
"Kevin has stabilised the ship and he has had a difficult job. "I hope he takes them back to where he had them the first time around.
"The club deserve to be there and to be playing Europe every year, it's as simple as that.
"I am sure that if people upstairs and within the team have the right attitude , there is no reason why they can't get back into Europe."
