when i saw him at the sponsors dinner he came in and just looked so defeated and quiet i wanted to embrace him into my bosom and tell him it will all be alright.
Luckily for Philip i was stone cold sober and dying of embarrassment.

like the 2 years as Pardews number two he hide in the cupboard. Keeping his head down sems to be his game plan.
If we dont get some new investors, we go into next season with a piss poor squad and a piss poor manager,because we dont have the cash to do anything but survive.
Like I said he should have gone with Pardew. Wasn't the right man back then.
He might well be now though. It seems the players must be behind him apart from Moutaouakil. He's started building a squad, a few more good signings, keeping our best players and he has as much chance as anyone of doing well.
It's more than likely he'll still be manager at the start of the season. If he was going to go it should have been right after the Norwich game if not a few games before that.
I still think it's all bets off with reagrd to Parky. New owners in - could be off. Takeover collapses - still could be off. Call from Pards - could be off. As with everything Charlton at the moment we just don't know.
He won't go back to being an assistant, not at League One level to a club at a similar level. Takeover collapses? He'll almost certainly stay in that case. New owners? Could possibly go.
Much more chance he'll be here whatever happens than go this summer I think.
A new season is about to start and given our financial position we are not in a position to find a candidate who is markedly better, so the devil we know is perhaps better than taking a punt on someone with a history of failure elsewhere, or someone who might be promising but is untried. I appreciate that's hardly a ringing endorsement but the least we can do is give him a clean slate and some support.
if he is in contract he will stay. the club has no money only a big debt and the board are unlikely to want to pay off another manager early. its always going to be the case that people want a change and quick when the sh*t starts flying. as a side issue, how long does anyone thing shearer will be given this season before mike ashey has a rethink. they couldnt have appointed a manager more pleasing to the fans but it didnt save them from the drop. they like us are in serious problems if they dont bounce back soon. it has always been the way in football that clubs go through cycles of success and failure. our time in the premiership may come again and when it does it will be sweeter for the aweful times like this live long in the memory.
Newcastle have the benefit of Mike Ashley being a multi-millionaire, that doesn't mean they'll bounce back, but it does mean that they have a considerable financial cushion. Plus they have the parachute money which is vastly more than the parachute money that we trousered. In any case Ashley will sell out soon, albeit at a massive loss.
I'm led to believe though that none of Newcastle's players had relegation clauses in their contracts.
