Probably in the minority but still cant forgive the way he left. Jumped the sinking ship and the paddys he's thrown when Harpers been in his place previously isn't something I would clap the guy for. He's been a great servant to Newcastle for a good portion of his career yes, but lets not forget for a good part of that time we certainly weren't crap and he would have been very well looked after financially, it's not like he did it to be a good guy for us.
If he really wanted out then I see no reason why he couldn't have been straight up with everybody else and agreed a deal then to join them in the summer, to see the season out and do his best to keep us up.
