Just when you think Newcastle have hit rock bottom, after being relegated to the championship, they manage to find a new low.  A full strength Newcastle team got thrashed 6-1 yesterday by lowly league one side Leyton Orient.

This summer was supposed to be about Mike Ashley finding a buyer quickly, bring in Alan Shearer as manager, rebuilding the squad and bouncing back up to the Premier league.   Instead the complete opposite has happened; no new owners, no manager, losing players without bringing any new players in, getting thrashed by league one teams, and to top it off, bringing out a new custard/banana yellow kit…

The season starts in just two weeks, and at this point I fully expect Newcastle to go the way of Leeds United and crash straight through the championship into league one.

I’m not one for scape goating, but it seem to me that Mike Ashley has single handedly driven this once great club into the ground.  He would probably be best advised to never show his face around the toon again.
