Taylor stays with Bradford.
Taylor had admitted last night that he had been in talks with Newcastle over a move to the North-East, but it would appear that something has got in the way of the move happening.
Several sources have suggested that a compensation package had been agreed between Newcastle and Bradford City for the services of Taylor, so I guess that train of thought is ruled out now. It would have been nice to have Taylor here working alongside the current structure, but it isn’t to be as Taylor has decided to stick with the League Two outfit.
Mark Lawn, Bradford’s joint-chairman, told the Yorkshire Post: “Newcastle approached us between Christmas and new year and we subsequently agreed compensation for the remainder of Peter’s contract. But since then Peter has indicated he wants to stay and we hope that is the end of it.”
There isn’t much more that can be said about it now. Taylor isn’t coming, end of, and Alan Pardew’s search to bolster his backroom staff will have to continue.
Of course, this again opens the door for some more John Carver speculation, but as I wrote last night, Pardew must not be swayed by public opinion and must appoint a man that he knows he can trust from the start. I’m not saying that he couldn’t trust Carver, and I believe he would be a good addition, but Pardew must have someone he can work with straight away.
It’s been just over eleven weeks since Colin Calderwood departed for the Hibernian job, which means that it has been nearly three months, and two managers, since we have had an assistant manager at Newcastle. That is pretty shocking to be honest, and needs addressing sooner rather than later.
So where do we go now?

Have you told Worky about your deceipt yet, toonsy?
Yes. I said I was setting up on my own and that I would be packing in .org.
What was his response?
Has he changed his mind re .org? He was pulling the plug two days ago…
Horns engaged! Alreet Stu
I think that was just heat of the moment to be honest. I don’t think .org will close down.
wait ’til I get my popcorn
Whey off to the in-laws to be for some bait and to listen to conversation in Spanish and not have a scoobies what they’re on about..later lads.
Later mate
thought this blog wasn’t going to be about personal gossip?
let’s move on eh, new year, look ahead and all that…
stuart and stardust up a tree k i s s i n g. Keep it fair no biting, spitting, but everything else go’s. I think batty and big dave will be fuming if you’s dont wait for them, they still had a few tickets to sell.

Horns engaged! Alreet Stu
Alreet Stardust, me old mucka!
by the way boys my ticket says sat night i hope they havn’t took me on.
Stardust – Did you ever hear the interview with Shearer talking about when he was offered the managers job?
Basically we were relegated on the Sunday and Shearer was asked to put a business plan together which he did. He met with Ashley on the Tuesday who agreed with his business plan, offered him a contract that Shearer duly accepted, shook hands on it and Shearer never heard from him again! Blows a bit of a hole in your ‘Shearer had his chance and blew it’ theory doesn’t it?
You cannot say your suprised by Ashley actions, especially after the way he treated your Chris…
Is that interview still around Stu – I would like to hear it for the horses mouth so to speak before I call you a stinking liar with an agenda –
Might even call you a racist while Im at it
In hindsight, was NOT appointing Shearer the best thing the club could have done? Could Shearer of replicated – or bettered – what Hughton done? Hypothetical of course, but still…
For me, Ashley’s actions with Shearer feel a bit like what he was like with Hughton, he just wasn’t his man for the job.
It’s recognised by all that football is a business now, and as they say, in business, sometime you have to be ruthless.
Moondust – your ticket should say – Practice session from today (bit liek the grand prix), Main event starts Saturday, finishes some time next millennia – pack your sarnies
Personally I dont think anyone in world football could have better what Chris did!
ilm i guess we will never know.
I do know that as stuart said he was left hanging like a thread by mike, after agreeing to the job. I have a link to the vid at home stu is talking about, will pop it up later

That wasn’t my point tbh. I was pointing out to Stardust that Ashley is just a arrogant, disloyal little man who cannot be trusted with the future of this club.
Thanks batty.
Cheers Batts
Will have a look for both now!
this blog is all lovey dovey ,no good for me iam of too judases
Better not be. I’m penning that for a grand opening!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-C4Yr93YCPo&NR=1&feature=fvwp <<< this is better star
“arrogant, disloyal” yep, I’d agree
“little man” lol don’t agree so much on that one.
“cannot be trusted with the future of the club” This one I who heartedly disagree, everything he has done structurally to the club has been for the benefit and longevity of the club as a working business, and thereafter, a successful club.
And personally, I think we are starting to see the club come out of a very bad time. If we stay up this season, I think we will go from strength to strength, with him at the helm.
On the flip side, we could get some rich foreign owners in like these Venkys, which all they care about is image and marketability, and we could bid for Ronaldinho?
I would rather us got relegated again then see us like Blackburn right now, turning into absolute jokes.

Middlesbrough had an exact same business model as Ashley wants us to have ie great academy, brilliant young players and living within their means) and look what’s happened to them!
Boro had the 3rd best academy in Europe two years ago and they got relegated!
Now Ive listened – Its a tricky one that Stu – Ashley has heard everything Shearer had to say, the players he wanted in, the players he wanted out, the terms he wanted the job on.
He spent the day working through those options, its obvious now that on reflection Ashley has thought this wasnt right for him or the club.
I dont and cant really criticise him for that. I think its his right to change his mind there. I think the worst you can say about him is that he didnt have the courtesy to call Shearer and explain why not.

toonsy really has left poor old Worky high and dry hasn’t he?
I imagine Worky sat there doing his knitting in his rocking chair looking through his window from his bedroom.
nice to see you flying solo m8..lets hope you dont turn into a little dictator
Ah aye – me Batts – there all the time lol.

Cheers mate
Glad to have you visiting
looks like carlos vela is off to bolton..
Piss take really considering Wenger used to maon like fook about Bolton….
Was that not when Fatty Balatty was in charge?
Aye it was, but it’s surprised me. This whole Bolton play football no thing is a load of bollocks aswell. They may play it at times, but the majority of the time they lump it up to Davies or Elmander.
Batty
When there wasn’t much going on on .org, I logged onto Ed’s to see if anything new up there, and found the link by Pearch. Had just seen Toonsy last article on .org and thought that could be him putting up his new site. If that was you Toonsy, well done on the way you did it without giving the game away.
Nah. Perch wasn’t me mate
I’ve actually just e-mailed Ed to see if he’ll chuck a link up for us. He better had

Hello Toonsy!

Whichever one I’m on… Simple.
sky sources:ronaldinho will not be sold to blackburn….
Glad to see you are already up and running, it’s great over here in China to get updated on all things Nufc from your articles Toonsy. Keep up the good work.
Stu -

sky sources:ronaldinho will not be sold to blackburn….
They’ve stuck their neck out there haven’t they?
Toonsy – that didn’t take long … site looks good
Does anyone else think the sports section of the Chronicle is f’kin awful?
Its all ‘sources close to the player’ this and ‘the Chronicle understands’ that, it’s getting like The Mail.
No quotes, no substance, all fillers and attentions seeking headlines.
bloody hel toonsy your getting some new readers
batty

bloody hel toonsy your getting some new readers
It’s surely not a coincidence it’s happened since I arrived…?
lol stu think it might be that perch on eds ,ive just told them on org theres a link on eds ,surely worky wouldnt mind as i told loads about workys when he 1st started
the circle of life batty
hitman iam still wondering who that bugger perch is
Areet all, Toonsy you got this going quickly! I’m assuming this has been in the works for a wee while now like. Like the look of it though, canny swish haha.
It’s ok, everyone relax. I’m here now. No need to worry.
aye hes doing a cracking job batty
god where are you all coming from
How do I get an avatar?
well done on getting this blog up and running toonsy long live the blog ha =]
Not realy mate. Saturday afternoon I did it. Just been playing around with it since
same way as workys gravatar m8
Bloody hell i might even be allowed to use my old craigg user name off eds which i wasnt on .org for some unknown reason, Decisions, Decisions…
Nice log toonsy.
* Blog
Yep. If you used the same e-mail address on .org it should transfer your avatar across as it will follow you around certain websites
well im new to all the blogging, i have been readin .org and eds for about 6 months now via news now. i find it funny to see how people react to all the goings on surrounding our fantastic club. a couple of major differences between the 2 sites i mentioned, ed writes an article regardless of whether there is anything to the story and the comments are usually very negative. one guy captain beefheart usually rants for ever about rubbish i must say!! but on the whole .org was a far better site and got banter going, which i think is what a blog is all about. just wanted to say i look forward to the new blog toonsy, and hopefully this will now be the one place where geordie fans (and the odd SMB) can have a good laugh
see more handbag between man shitty players…
That’s how I saw it as well
see more handbags between man shitty players…

Do you want me to cut the ribbon?
West Ham fans arriving early…

anyone else not think we should wack a bid in for Matt Jarvis? he’s a class left winger with plenty pace, skill and is a hell of a crosser aswel
well now that i have a log in etc hopefully be on here a bit more, and express my views a bit.
in terms of players we are being linked with, i think that bentley would be a great signing for less than 5 mill, not the most pace but he cant half deliver into the box. krancjar i think would be a bit part player especially once benny is back and fit (dont forget we also have gosling back now or pretty much).
the striker is a tough one, personally keane would do a job, charlie austin for the future loan him straight back out. i like vela but he could hinder the opportunities that ranger would great, and why benfit arsenal at our expense.
I looked the spit of that at Wigan
Good lad, our big dave, hope to see lots of posts from him on here
toonsy have you got a face book
Well Lads hows it going, Toonsy nice we farewell on .org lad tis a sad day, I take it mothercare Toys r us wont be sponsering them now your gone

Well worky did threaten to jack it all in over the weekend so who knows.

Heat of the moment I think. Someone will take my place on .org and it will continue.

new thread johnny
so its already been discussed then batty ? i guess we will find out wat ashley is thinking by the end of this transfer window. sick of trying to second guess the bloke. went to boxin day game nd we were f… shockin, then a different team turned up against wigan. wtf ? we need to start gettin points from our home games, would of gladly taken 4 points from wigan, wh games, but the way we played on sun we gotta be lookin at 3 points on wed.
Johnny even Ash cant second guess himself, I think the consortuim is bullshit from the king of bull himself craigcoozy .
I agree we need to be taking all 3 pts of spam
