He is not so much the problem as the owner's stubborn refusal to spend adequate amounts of money on proper players. When you attempt to do business on the cheap as he does, you are bound to take a gamble on low-priced talent. That can be both bad and good!You may pick up a player for little cost and he may turn out to be a wonderful signing and score lots of goals. However, the player may also be an overpaid bust. Newcastle has had plenty of those over the years but I still support them wholeheartedly. A little more sensible business and a top-half finish would be entirely possible.</blockquote>
