Toon Fans Would Rather Have Safety Ahead Of A Trophy!

12 March 2013 12:27
Jonas Gutierrez said last week: "If Newcastle fans were asked what they would rather have - Premiership safety or relegation and trophy - I'm sure they would rather be safe."

Jonas Gutierrez: "We have the league as our priority, and I think the fans would agree.

"It's better than winning the Europa League and getting relegated."

Well I questioned that, if I'm honest.

90% of Newcastle fans haven't seen us win ANYTHING, and it is my lifetime's ambition to be there when Newcastle lift a trophy.

I was at St James' Park when we beat Ujpest Doza 3-0, but they didn't pick up the Fairs Cup that evening ... that was in Budapest.

And I've seen three relegations. So I'd go for a trophy ahead of a good fixture list.

(* One fan suggested "why can't we win the trophy AND stay up?" ... yes I'm sure we would all like that; but that wasn't the point Jonas Gutierrez was making.)

So, after we threw it open to the public to vote, and the conclusion:

Staying in the Premier League?  - 89.4%

Win Europa Cup & Relegation?  - 10.6%
