(11 May 2016, 8:37 pm)mb134 And that's it, we're down... Hopefully a wake up call to Ashley. I expect to see Carr sacked, along with Charnley.

(11 May 2016, 8:40 pm)mb134 Oh, and Steve McClaren, you are a fraud. Awful manager.

(11 May 2016, 8:44 pm)Michael Haha, blame Mcclown, why are some Newcastle fans saying Rafa out?

He did nothing wrong...honestly you can't win, its either Cashleys fault or the Manager... Not the players....

(11 May 2016, 8:46 pm)Tom Rafa out? Are they deluded more like Carr and Charnley out as well as the crap like Gini and Cisse.

(11 May 2016, 9:07 pm)mb134 NUFC Club Statement:

"Tonight we are devastated at our relegation from the Premier League, as I know every single person connected to this football club will be.

"I want to thank all of the fans for the support you have shown for the club you love throughout the season, in spite of this massive disappointment and under-achievement.

"Your support throughout has been magnificent, but I want to pay particular thanks for the incredible backing you have given to Rafa and the team during the latter part of the season. Nothing more could be asked of you and I am truly sorry we have not given you the outcome you deserve.

"I also want to thank every single member of staff here. This club is their livelihood, but they are fans too. To go through the threat of relegation last season and then to suffer a worse fate this time around has been very hard for them. I know that each and every one of them has done whatever they could to help us out of the situation we now find ourselves in.

"We know that supporters want to know what the future holds and will want to hear more from us as soon as possible. The process of scrutinising what went wrong and planning for what is to come has already begun. Right now, of course, Rafa and the team must prepare for the final game of the season but after that, please rest assured we will communicate more fully with supporters."

(11 May 2016, 9:07 pm)Tom I know the 3 people I would get rid of from Newcastle. Shame it's never going to happen though.

Can't wait to play Burton and Wigan next season We'll probs get beat off them too!!

(11 May 2016, 9:10 pm)Michael Wonder who made that statement up?

(11 May 2016, 9:12 pm)mb134 Forgot to copy this bit:

"Statement from Lee Charnley:"

(11 May 2016, 9:10 pm)mb134 If one of those three include Ashley, I'd disagree. (I'd agree with the other two assuming they are Charnley and Carr). Ashley gave the money he promised this season, it was down to McClarens inability to motivate, coach, or create any sort of tactic. Charnley is to blame for hiring him, and Carr spent £12m on Thauvin when he could have signed Payet for the same price...

(11 May 2016, 9:17 pm)Tom Maybe not as much as Charnley/Carr but could he care about Newcastle? He cares more about Rangers and Sports Direct

(11 May 2016, 9:19 pm)mb134 He cares about money, Newcastle can provide him with a massive income. Hopefully he will feel the impact this time, so that if we go back up first time, he continues to invest, but with intelligent people making the decisions...

(11 May 2016, 10:45 pm)Ambassador Very sad news about Newcastle. Not really fussed with football but a client I work with has 9 employees whose jobs are linked to Nufc. He had to let them go in 2009 after the last relegation and probably will lose more staff this time around.

Hidden costs you don't see. Imagine Nufc will make admin staff etc redundant
