Not going into massive detail but it finally looks like Mike is listening to the criticism and actually willing to take note of where things have gone wrong, the main criticism was trying to fashion a team out of 11 inexperienced prospects from Europe, notably France. Lee Charnley and Graham Carr are the biggest culprits.
Despite the current woes, the excitement at Newcastle can only grow as they continue to take massive strides in the transfer window and throw their considerable transfer kitty around.
Shelvey is the first Newcastle United bought Premier League player since 2010 and the first in what is a stride to finally return an experience foundation at Newcastle before adding foreign prospects.
A team with one of Europe's most promising strikers in Mitrovic, one of the most sought after youngsters now in the Premier League in Ayoze Perez whom has a first touch like a god. French prospect Sissoko, a player with the sheer quality of Wijnaldum, Dutch international right back Daryl Janmaat, one of the most promising CB's in European football Chancel Mbemba... The end result thus far? Just above Aston Villa. Unacceptable and without being big headed, Newcastle should be in the top 10 with a team like that on paper. By no means challenging for Europe but more than comfortable.
Everything that's went wrong is due to the above policy of fashioning a team out of great individual players that are coming into a team already full of inexperience players with very similar circumstances to themselves.
Charlie Austin and Andros Townsend to conclude £35 million's worth of business this month and that'll set Newcastle up for another rise so they can fall so much further.
What shocks me most is that of the many mistakes that have been made at this club, players are actually still willing to come.

MUFC to win 2-0 tonight. Lack of goals by both clubs but Newcastle's defending gives United the massive edge over us. If United somehow lose to the third worst defence in the league that's missing their Centre Back then Van Gaal has to go, he just has to. Dinosaur management without a clue in the world.
