What A Waster said:
There was fans outside the Milburn entrance in the 06/07 season after a defeat to Sheffield United chanting sack the board. The mood was shifting by the end of the Shepherd/Hall time after Souness and Roeder and the crap players that were being brought in like Craig Moore, Boumsong, Babayaro, Amdy Faye, Sibierski (although he did do well), Luque, Roeder playing loads of academy players as we had a thin squad with not much quality. Year on year we were in decline due to bad recruitment and two poor managers. The stories about how Woodgate (alleged bid for Rooney to replace him), Speed and others were sold as board decisions rather than at the choice of the manager. When Speed was sold against Robson's wishes he wanted Carrick from West Ham. Shepherd said he wasn't a big enough name and got Nicky Butt. There was the bad timing of sacking Robson, to then replace him with Souness.
There was a definite change over their last 3 or 4 years owning the club.
Save Our Seats in '99, Toongate 98.
There was many times people were against the Shepherd/Hall ownership

A nice reminder for the Durham Mag of how it actually was.

:lol: no, and no. Without bothering to bring in the status of these competitions, neither were entered by winning anything, so the point stands. Getting in to something without winning a trophy, which you then win (regardless of teams not bothering to turn up) and have an entry into something else is not getting into Europe by winning a trophy. If that upsets you then let's just say you are the only NE club to represent England in Europe without winning an English trophy.

So they're worrying that someone who isnt going to buy them, turns out to not want to spend Billions on players, then theres no one bigger than them to buy out someone who isnt going to buy them anyway if they dont spend Billions 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Not sure 1 win in their last 12 is exactly what you'd call momentum! 😂😂😂

I mean 10 years plus is a long time to be living beyond our means if that’s even true!

I’m sure we had one of the top 20 revenues in the whole of Europe late 90s-early 00s as well as the 3rd highest gates in the country and champions league money we can’t have been doing that bad

If fat mick had done his homework he wouldn’t have touched you. And you’d most likely have been playing a pub team in a cow field by now. Hall and Shepherd ran you into the ground. The facts are all out there if you care to look.
 
Clean forgot the mags won that prestigious TEXACO CUP in 1974. In the Final 19,288 crammed in to St James’ Park. Yes 19,288 compared to the 86,000 for our Micky mouse final. Their’s must of been before their famous waiting lists started.
