Fact is the club never recovered from Fat Freddy sacking Bobby Robson because fifth in the Premier League wasn`t good enough for a club of Toons stature ( his words ) .
I can remember then Manchester City Chairman Peter Swales sacking a manager many years ago because Man City only came fifth ( John Bonds ? ) - it took the club the best part of thirty years to recover .
