Toon Boys Poor In The Bedroom?

John Richardson says Mike Ashley has sent Newcastle spiralling towards relegation - and the only solution is to bring back Kevin Keegan.

John Richardson: "It's like wooing the most beautiful girl in the world, buying drinks for her, buying her a meal, getting her in the bedroom and then doing absolutely nothing.

"It's like putting unleaded petrol into a diesel and we all know what happens there.

"It's an absolute mess and Mike Ashley should be here to answer the fans and tell people what has been going on.

"It is a carry-on, but the trouble is it's not amusing ... 52,000 are there every week and look what's happening to them. This club is heading for relegation unless something happens.

"Mike Ashley did the right thing when he bought the club at first. He wiped out the debts of more than £18million so he spent 240 to 250million... and then he does nothing.

"He's listened to the wrong people, I think his earpiece was Paul Kemsley, who he knows from his Tottenham days and people like Dennis Wise have come in with Tony Jimenez.

"These people do not know what is going on at Newcastle United. At the moment Newcastle United is run from a little club in London, it's not run for the boardroom at St James' Park.

"It is a complete mess. These fans have been led down the garden path.

"The appointment of Joe Kinnear, well none of us could believe it. You could have given us all 500 guesses and we would not have got Joe Kinnear.

"What's obscene about this is that Mike Ashley is trying to make a huge profit from this club. He's put £250million in it and is evidently trying to sell it for £400million.

"The only way out for Mike Ashley is to get rid of these people with brackets - so many brackets and yet the place is falling apart."
