If true, as others have said, the simple solution would have been to sack Pardew. It was never the quality of player that was the problem, it was that Pardew didn't know how to use them.

I'm assuming the only thing stopping someone buying us is the 'interest free loan' they would have to pay Ashley back if he sold the club? Other than that, its one of the most profitable club in the Premier League with so much more potential. I'd be amazed if there hadn't been people looking into buying the club.

Pardew is a poor, poor manager at this level, but unfortunately as the last few days has shown, he's probably the best we're going to get under Ashley. Seems like all the papers are running with Pardew not being happy and wanting Kinnear to shut the fuck up. Can't be a coincidence. Steven Taylor can fuck off though. It's usually a race between him and Beardsley to get their nose lodged into Ashley's fat stinkin ring piece first.

I'm hoping he says something racist or homophobic or something. Surely some of the journo's will be able to bait him into doing that.

As funny as the interview was, I dread to think the damage it could do. Who's going to join us, or want to stay here now ffs!

He'd sooner watch the club go down than sell at a reduced club because of unhappy fans. But well done for insulting all fans that still want to follow the club that was here long before Mike Ashley. Sticking your head in the sand and continuing to go might be considered as following the club, but its not really the best for the club tbh.

The club isn't getting a penny of my money going forward while Ashley is still there.

He says he's going to be the judge on which players aren't good enough. This is the cunt who thought Enrique was shit and wanted to move him on. And he's STILL going on about 'Geordies only want Geordies working at Newcastle'. What a load of shit, and what a fuckin arsehole the man is. I'd rather be totally shit but trying to do well than this. Anyone got a guide on how to help someone to have another heart attack?

The only reason that bullying cunt Souness was brought in was because Bobby had apparently lost the dressing room. Instead of going for a good manager to sort out the small problems we had, Shepherd made a cunt of it and decided to go for a 'hard man' to sort the players out. He went for the polar opposite in Souness without a thought about the other attributes you need to be a good manager. Souness came in and he was never going to give people like Robert and Bellamy a chance. He kept picking and picking until Bellamy someone with a short fuse, snapped. Robert was what he was, a winger, but Souness couldn't accept that, trying to force him to constantly work back when that wasn't his game. Souness fucked us. He couldn't manage players. Not sure anyone will agree with me, but I think we should have moved Bobby upstairs before that summer. He had started to lose a bit control, and although we had finished 5th the season before, the points total was low and the signs were there that things were going wrong. We had come to the same point as Liverpool had under Houllier imo. At that point we were no worse than them. Liverpool had a bit of ambition and brought in Benitez at a time where things weren't too bad and he had time to settle in and build something. We waited too long, sacked Robson in a shocking manner, at the wrong time, and appointed a shite replacement. Within a year Liverpool had won the Champions League and we were lodged in the bottom half. Not saying we would have won the Champions League or anything, but we could have appointed a new manager from a position of strength and gave Bobby a more respectful exit as team manager. Shepherd totally fucked it all up. It was a massive crossroads in the clubs history, and one we may never recover from.

EH?! Our squad is far too small as it is! We've still not replace Best or Lovenkrands, never mind Ba. We'd REALLY miss the players listed. I've no idea how we'd function, probably go straight down with 0pts, it would be a tragedy. :'( We would if nobody replaced them. As I said, our squad is too small as it is. The problem is those players are of poor quality and they need replaced with younger, hungry, better players, not just get rid and not replace. I can't decide whether you're being serious or not.

Not sure why we need weekly updates on the painting of a roof. I reckon i'd have finished it by now if id been given a few tins of paint and a roller. Not sure what the fuss is about! Some clubs put up stands over the summer, whilst the people updating our website are getting a hard on over a paint job.

We'd never be able to cope with extra playoff games if we made them. Imagine those two games a week again like this season! Doesn't bare thinking about!!

Our brand image is hardly good though. You won't get many respectable companies wanting to sit alongside Sports Direct and Wonga. Sports Direct is hardly a pariah brand, although Wonga is definitely shaky ground. But even before Wonga signed up last season we were hardly attracting big bucks in sponsorship deals, and was probablyone of the reasons we ended up with them eventually. I think it's more to do with big companies want to be attached to clubs which are aiming for success and show ambition. With us it's still appears to be the case of survive on the cheap and take what you can above that as a bonus. Sticking with a cheap manager rather than appoint a quality one sends out that signal for sure. Sport Direct is a horrendous brand I'm afraid. It cries out 'stack em high sell em cheap'. It's a bargain basement brand, and it's been plastered all over what was once a great looking ground. The club used to have a fairly good brand image itself tbh, but the Ashley regime have changed that. Even the Puma shirts are cheap template kits with sow on badges as opposed to embroided ones. Look at the state of the club shop. Its basically a Newcastle United version of Sports Direct where everything is crammed in and its 3 t-shirts for a tenner. I haven't been in many other club shops, but I have been in Arsenal's and Chelsea's. Both are pretty classy and the items on sale are desirable and of good quality. Personally, I haven't bought one item of merchandise since the last Adidas top. The whole image of the club is wrong tbh, but what it is is all Ashley knows. His kind of marketing doesn't adapt well to a Premier League football club where you're looking to attract sponsorship and where brand image is important. Brand image isn't really that important to Sports Direct. It's hardly a wonder our commercial revenue has almost halved, and disgracefully so is now even below Sunderland's. No high end brand wants to be associated with us, and whats on the pitch is only a tiny part of it.

He was there last year as well apparently. Aye he got interviewed on BBC last year. Notice he's a guest of Marussia as well, the shittest team on the grid.

I think it's fully justifiable to be honest. If we're awful, sinking because of resources, but we're trying to improve then that's fair enough. Even if we've no money, a terrible team and trying to halt a slide like Portsmouth, then fair enough. I would still go and support the team as much as time and money allows. Personally I can accept being shit, at whatever level we're playing at. This is a sport where the aim is to win and to do your best to better yourself and improve. What I can't accept and don't want to support is when the club is just happy to sit still. Where we don't even try to win things and where we aren't even trying fulfill our full potential. The club make no effort to increase turnover (commercial revenue below Sunderland), no really effort to try and win things, Europe is now something they don't want to be in, and we've just given the worst manager in the league the reigns of the 9th most successful club (still) in English football, with the 8th highest crowds in Europe and with the 20th biggest turnover in Europe. I don't want to waste my money just supporting a team through the gate for the sake of it. As I said, it's a sport and we should be trying our best. We aren't.

I kind of agree to be honest, I'm just worried about the players to be honest. We signed Cabaye etc because we told them that we'd be playing fluid passing football and we'd be challenging for Europe, what's he going to do now that we're playing s*** football, lose to f***ing Brighton in cups and don't challenge for Europe because "too many games" The board has no ambition and it shows. Mid-table mediocrity for the years to the come until his contract runs out. He seems to have negotiated a different transfer policy by looking at his recent comments. To me that says bringing in players to suit his style of play, i.e. shit ones.

I'm struggling to see the point next season. We don't try in the cups and we don't want to get into Europe. Whats the fuckin point in going? Seriously? It's not like the football under this cunt is entertaining. I can accept shit football if it's successful, but it isn't. It might as well be 19-21 home friendlies. What makes this all the more frustrating is that there are so many good managers available at the moment, and what we'll probably do is sack this useless cunt in November wasting a season, when no decent manager is available be stuck with another useless desperate arsehole for another few years in the name of 'stability'. I actually hope we don't sign anyone if its just going to be these 'big men' being brought in to compensate for his shit set piece routines. Criminal that we have French, Dutch and Italian internationals and they're all probably going to pass through this club without playing under a competent manager. So depressing, the best squad of players we've had in a decade wasted because of one manager. So disappointing we'll never get to its full potential. p.s. Sorry if you've read these views before. Summing up my twitter rant. haha

Only message that Llambais and Ashley know is when it hits them in the pocket. Can't see me going to a home game until this cunt Pardew has gone. At least Gullit had the balls to fuck off when he failed.

I see Benitez is favorite for the Stoke job. If we keep Pardew and Stoke appoint Rafa before the weekend I will cry, I really will.

Exactly. "Yohan, you sit deep as you can spray them great long balls from just in front of Stevie and Colo. Don't get as far as the opposition box." "Sissoko, great number 10 you are. Papis is playing up top himself. As the other team are good at pressing high up the pitch, we will be sitting back a load and trying to hit them on the break. Your job is to get the ball deep, then run. Keep running and running, hopefully with the ball. It will relieve pressure for another 20 seconds or so. If you can, try and pump it to Papis when you're far enough up the pitch."

Big towering centre back, big man up front, Anita the wrong signing. Basically, buy more players to fit my shit, long ball, direct style of football. Anita is his Newcastle Mascherano. The fact he used to pick Hayden Mullins ahead of him says it all. He's too shit of a manager to manage good technical footballers.
