He didn't want to sign a new deal and was on the last year of his contract. So they got shot of him ken.

Still, there's the window in January, plus all it would take to get some offers in is if they managed to spread he was ready to be sold. every little helps!

He was part of a very influential dressing room clique and Ashley/Pardew has wanted to break it up for ages.

I think it's refreshing to see a player so honest about the way he thinks the club is being run. Mike Ashley is an absolute joke of a man. He clearly doesn't appreciate the size of Newcastle Utd. The sooner that the club is sold to someone who has genuine love for the club, the better it will be for the club and the league as a whole.

Spot on mate. Ashley is tearing the club apart!

There's only one Mike Ashley :clap:

Barcodes are total morons. Ashley rescued their vile club and nobody wants to buy them off him, hardly his fault. Those spastics would cream themselves if it was announced that Ridsdale was taking over, as long as he was bringing 'King Kev' in. :D

But OF COURSE he's signing for the Manks! They could totally afford his £80k wage packet, totally!! :lol:

Even if he was to take a 50k wage cut, they would stuggle to afford a 2/3 year contract. They would have to sign the player, not loan him, and therefore will have to pay ALL his wages. Scottish clubs just cant compete with the clubs down south
