With only one day at the helm at Newcastle, Allardyce is 'cutting off the fat'. Five players have been informed their contracts won't be renewed/extended. These are:
Defenders Bramble (highest-profile casualty), Craig Moore, Olivier Bernard and keeper Pavel Srnicek. At the same time, Oguchi Onyewu has been informed his loan spell at Tyneside won't be permanent.

Wonder who else will get axe or transferred out?

HAHA! i dont know any person that likes titus bramble, so nearly every toon fan must be delighted yes:

At least he's making his Mark on the team. I'm not very happy they got Big Sam as they will definately finish higher in the table than boro.

so...there a bigger club than middlesbrough, most clubs are going to finish ahead of boro next season so it's better newcastle do than smaller clubs like Bolton
