Our contribution to ITV Teletext... first appeared on Weds 21.03.01

Another staggeringly inept home defeat this week was followed by an equally baffling splash in the Sunday papers, as our majority shareholder Douglas Hall unveiled more grandiose plans to bring United back to the top of the Premiership tree.

As Viv Nicholson once famously said, "it's spend, spend, spend", as a whole host of stars will apparently fight to come to Newcastle, and we'll battle with the cream of Europe in front of millions of adoring fans.

Precisely why the World's greatest players would beat a path to our door however, remains a moot point.

Our current senior squad use training facilities more suited to a youth club, while the Academy currently shares with various student hockey teams in their borrowed quarters.

Plans may be in place for both, but the old adage that "actions speak louder than words" remains. Let's avoid the statements until we achieve something.
