Stay Classy Newcastle United: Ryan Taylor and Jonas Gutierrez Sacked In Single Phone Call

The BBC is reporting that Newcastle United sacked Ryan Taylor and Jonas Gutierrez in the same phone call.

The story goes that John Carver called Taylor and told him he was being released. Carver then asked Taylor to pass the phone to Gutierrez, who was also given the bullet.

For the record, Taylor had been at St James’ Park for six years, Gutierrez for seven. Both have had to overcome considerable odds in that time.

Taylor told Sky Sports News:

“John Carver rang me and told me the club weren’t going to offer me a new deal.

“Then he asked me to pass the phone to Jonas, which was unbelievable.”

Not for Newcastle it isn’t. It’s pretty much what you’d expect from a club that’s lost its heart.

The only shock is that Newcastle didn’t reverse the charges.
