Are Newcastle out the Woods yet?

So the apparently doomed Newcastle United have taken on ex-Wimbledon, Nottingham Forest and Luton Town reject Joe Kinnear on a match-by-match contract, until club owner – and one time saviour – Mike Ashley finds a buyer.

Is this the answer? I’m going to say no. Newcastle are properly doomed to relagation. They’ve had a three game humping since Keegan left, and with players handing their heads this low, is their any point trying? Is the answer  liqudating the whole club? Right now its losing fans by the hundred, and pretty soon it’ll lose players and staff.

Kinnear thinks when Ashley sells up Keegan and Shearer will be back: “if I can get in there and get a few results together until obviously the two main people are named, I assume from the new people coming in they will be Kevin Keegan and Alan Shearer.”

Doubtful. First of all it could be a while before Newcastle find a buyer, they have loads of debt and morale is dead in the water. By that time, Keegan could be snapped up by another club – he’s a decent manager after all. And Shearer? Would you go back to the club that f#cked you about so much?

They play Blackburn this weekend, and they desperately need a win, but with Blackburn having a ok-ish start to the season so far, i doubt they’ll offer the toon army any quarter.

Anyway, here’s the matches for the 27th, and my totally unscientific predictions:

Everton v Liverpool
My prediction: 1 – 3

Stoke City v Chelsea
My prediction: 1 – 1

Manchester United v Bolton Wanderers
My prediction: 3 – 1

Fulham v West Ham United
My prediction: 2 – 2

Aston Villa v Sunderland
My prediction: 2 – 0

Middlesbrough v West Bromwich Albion
My prediction: 0 – 0

Newcastle United v Blackburn Rovers
My prediction: 1 – 4

Arsenal v Hull City
My prediction: 3 – 1
