Frank Rijkaard Couldn't Take The Pressure I Don't Agree With That At All...

Why did he leave then?

He Did Have Top Form Ronaldinho & Deco Yes And Both Were Players He Brought To The Club And Got The Best Out Of Aswell, See Also Samuel Eto'o...

But my point is that it's okay producing attacking football in Spain with Ronaldinho, Deco, Eto'o, Messi etc, but he won't be managing in Spain with them. He'll be managing in the Premier League, where he'll have to cope with sides giving their all to get a 0-0 draw.

Newcastles wage bill must be massive.

I imagine Owen, Butt and Smith will be on atleast £90,000 a week and all of them 3 are past it/injury prone... Newcastle need to get rid of these players as they are average now on such stupid amounts of money if they are going to get back to the top 6/8

Smith and Butt on 90k?


I don't usually take you seriously, and nothing's changed.

They might be on a bit, but 90k each?

Oh, and our wage bill is massive, hence the reason the club is struggling. I think it currently stands at around £71m per year, which is the fourth or fifth highest in the Premier League.
