Take it you didn't like Bobby Robson then?

Hypothetically.... We have Lascelles registration. He is U21 and therefore does not have to be included in our squad lost to play games. Therefore, we could throw money at Forest and break the loan off potentially?

Completely disagree with the need of a defensive manager, now is the time to address things long term. Objective 1 is to get some belief and confidence and positivity and team spirit back. Objective 2 is to get the players and team to reach their potential and push back up the league. With the structure the club have put in place, I still think a Director of Football is needed, trouble is to date it has been Wise and Kinnear, poor choices. I would appoint Chris Hughton as Director of Football Coaching and at the same time use him as an interim solution to get the team gelling and looking up, whilst a more long term appointment is being decided.

Pardew said last year he won't resign as he would effectively be destroying the livelihoods of several of his faceless backroom staff. Nothing will have changed there

At the moment it feels our striker options consist of Stephane Guivarch Daniel Cordone Jon Dahl Tomasson Paul Dalglish

Agree with Ronaldo that Robert is better than Ben Arfa. They are too very different players but SBR found the magic formula to make Robert perform consistently. Tbh I think HBA would have struggled to break into that team.

Probably running away from Ashley as well then

Severance would take a while to negotiate.

Pardew thinks he would make a great Bond

Oh shut up

14 points in 24 games is 5th worst in PL history

Reckon he will be gone before the end of MOTD

Toptoon, what do you think the team lineup should be now Aarons is out?

There is no way of shifting Ashley until he is ready, so I am going to look as the positives: Allows us to focus our intentions on Pardew out Club not distracted by sale process and uncertainty Fans know where they stand and work out what we can and can't achieve with protests. Ashley remains interested in the club and he s not going to want to see us relegated. I believe the top 8 target is genuine.

What is this shit? Sent by pigeon

Not worried about Aarons I fully expect Ashley to expect the management to give him opportunities that will make him a 8 figure player

He's been invited to appear on Geordie Shore

I suppose the difference though is that Bobby had Shearer and Ferguson already

I believe that were Pardew to actually be given the boot after 5 or 6 games, had Bobby Robson been around to replace him, then his first act would be to make Gouffran a striker again. He may even get 10 goals.

I cum just now if that will help any of you sleep well tonight.

Might be ok with 2 up top but as a lone striker he is shit.

We require a young enthusiastic winger with pace that will run at players and create a few spaces as the game wears down into the final 30 mins. Oh.

Know nothing about the player but glad he has seemingly got himself away from the East Ukraine. BUT the owner of Donetsk is supposedly a chief financial backer of the same people that shot our supporters out if the sky. So I support the player but I don't support the transfer which is as immoral as fuck.

Look at the years.

Keegan's won very comfortably, now for a couple of less good squads and less good managers, Souness and Allardyce.
