I'm not one of those people who likes to see big clubs go down, unless it was spurs. but i think a season in the championship will do them good. get rid of the majority of of the first team, only the local lads will stay like s.taylor, a.carrol and s.harper. get rid of the likes of owen oba and barton, and get in fresh young championship talent, the likes of delph, beckford, fryatt, paterson, ledley and naughton. if shearer stays on that will go a long way to attracting these players, i no some may be destined for the EPL but at newcastle they are guaranteed first team football.
although every game will be tough, every team, every player will want to beat them, simply because they will be seen as a big scalp.
