The Newcastle merry go round continues to spin.

If Newcastle United fans were waking up in the hope that their club may finally announce a little bit of good news then they will be disappointed today. The take over at the club from current owner, Mike Ashley, will not be completed until the end of this month, meaning the search for a manager goes on and there will be less time for the club to restructure playing staff ahead of the new season.

As soon as the club were relegated from the Premier League, Ashley put the for sale sign up again after failing to find a buyer for the broken machine earlier in the season. The identity of the people buying the club is at the moment unknown and for some reason being kept a secret.

So the fans do not know what their club is heading for and they do not know who will be in charge. Someone at Newcastle better act pretty quickly as there are links appearing on a daily basis that say Alan Shearer is going elsewhere due to the joke way that his appointment at Newcastle has been handled.

It is senseless why he has not been allowed into the club to talk to the very few players that the side may actually be able to keep. He has no control over the players that are talking to various agents and the further delays in this take over deal mean he will have to wait a bit longer to find out if he still has a job.

You have to admire his passion and love for once club because a lot of people would have become tired and fed up by now and just moved on from the whole scenario altogether. You would have thought that being relegated from the top-flight of English football would have been the kick up the backside the club needs in order to start making decisions more efficiently but this is Newcastle United we are talking about.

There are a core group of maybe three or four players that Shearer wanted to keep if he was going to stay on as boss but two of this group are already in negotiations with other Premier League sides and it could mean that Shearer has to create a team from scratch within a month if the take over is completed on schedule and every thing else goes to plan.

If there are any more delays and Shearer has even less time to get things right then it could mean the immediate future of the club is dented for the next few years. Some pundits have already written off the club and are saying that they won’t get back into the Premier League within the next decade.

The fans will be hoping that this new owner is some form of Arabian oil billionaire who will come in and save the blushes. However, for the low people who are actually enjoying Newcastle’s demise, it would pain them to see the club propelled back to greatness when they have provided us all with laughs on a regular basis for a long time.
