This is dedicated to Newcastle and their hardcore, ever-hopeful fans.
Newcastle after a miserable season, have been relegated to the Coca Cola Championships after a 0-1 loss at Villa Park.
It is heartbreaking to see a team, from being title contenders 6-7 seasons ago to now, a Championship side. Newcastle has always been a team of utmost quality. Players like Given, Shearer, Ginola have all left footprints in this great club. They have boasted a number of quality players as well this season, with Martins, Taylor and Enrique all being part of the team.
Nobody has ever thought of seeing Newcastle fall into the realms of relegation, much less get relegated. However, their managerial staffs, their board failed them. One manager left after another, with Shearer, taking the greatest hurdle of all, to get Newcastle to survive, with 8 games to go. Hopes were high. After all, their legend was back at the club. But his magical powers failed to push the club back on the track to survive the drop. The chairman, Mike Ashley, too, wasn't being the most supportive of all with thoughts of selling the club and the most ridiculous of all, a suicide note being posted on the club's official website. How could a club survive without great leaders?
Newcastle is a great team with a strong and rich history and it certainly is sad to see a club of such quality play in the Championships next season, and with the risk of going bankrupt. I believe, though, a club of that stature, would not be fighting amateur teams for long, and they'll bound to come back 2 seasons from now. So don't be sad and hopeless, all Newcastle fans, for a great club will always be a great club, and miracles will happen in time to come.
