You need to get rid of your board before doing anything....... If you disagree with me then read this.... From the Guardian, Monday: "...One (Newcastle) fans' website has calculated how much Shepherd and his brother Bruce, and the Halls, Sir John and son Douglas, have taken from the club in dividends over the eight years since flotation. The total shareholder dividend sum is £32m; the Halls have taken £17m, the Shepherds £5m. "That's five Scott Parker-level players," said Ian Ferguson, once on the fans' liaison committee and now behind the website. "Shepherd always says how the board have backed the manager as if it's the board's own money; but it's not their money, it's the fans' money. "In the last eight years there is no record of investment from the Halls or Shepherd. It would be in the accounts. And it'll carry on for the next eight years unless a white knight comes along." Ferguson said that Souness is not seen as wholly responsible for the state of the team; the board is culpable. But with the club effectively owned and controlled by three individuals, alienated supporters are powerless. Change feels impossible to them."
