It's how I interpreted her and MWJ buying up the remaining shares

There's a brilliant Newcastle messageboard I use an awful lot, and on there, Toon fans were in a blind panic at Shepherd increasing his shareholding during last season. I thought quite the opposite, believing it was a very clear sign he was preparing to sell - which is precisely what happened. The Norwich situation is very similar, if you ask me.

        Absolutely agree (NCFC) - thebigfeller, Oct 6, 12:07:19
        
        Ending up in League One would be an apt conclusion for our board (NCFC) - iwans_ex_dentist, Oct 6, 12:02:28
        
        League One ! I ca't see it getting that bad. Mid to mid-lower finish imo but not league 1 (n/m) (NCFC) - Dirty Delia, Oct 6, 12:07:09
        
        Of course it could get that bad! (NCFC) - thebigfeller, Oct 6, 12:09:20

        Dunno (NCFC) - thebigfeller, Oct 6, 12:21:31
        
        Considering how things are at the moment, a mid to mid-lower finish would be excellent (n/m) (NCFC) - iwans_ex_dentist, Oct 6, 12:08:21
        
        100 yard walk for me then to Orient away ! (n/m) (NCFC) - Dirty Delia, Oct 6, 12:09:31
