  1. http://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/newcastle-united/nufc-news/2011/02/26/nufc-coaches-just-the-job-for-alan-pardew-72703-28240535/

     

    Pardew also revealed he is learning from his experiences as boss.

     

    He added: “As a younger manager at West Ham and Reading, I changed a lot of staff.

     

    “In hindsight, while it worked well, I did not need to do that.

     

    “The staff here are great. I am not looking to change anything with the staff here.”

     

    Pleased to hear this.  I don't see why new managers always want to bring in all their own staff.  They might have a great relationship with them but maybe that ends up being too cosy and familiar and so they don't get so much opportunity to embrace new ideas or different coaching techniques.

     

     

     

    Told you, he's learning from past mistakes  :coolsmiley:

     

    In other words he's been told that he's not allowed change the whole staff for probably two reasons. Firstly, the cost. Secondly, he may not be here for the long haul depending on results.

     

  2. Pleased with the side. To some of us (older fans), the FA Cup is still very important-  some young'uns just don't understand.

     

    Totally agree, amazing how people are calling the FA cup a luxury.  It used to be bigger than the league years back.

     

    It most definitely is not anymore. I understand the importance of the cup, but I know the greater importance of staying in the league.

  3. There's 8 days until the derby man!

     

    not the point mate, as it stands barton nolan and colo would almost definitely play in that match (barring a freak training ground injury) playing today puts that in doubt. i guess it comes down to what you value more, perosnally i think we'd have enough to win it without those 3, put them on the bench and bring them on at half time if needed imo. i'd just rather be 3 points closer to safety and beat the mackems than be in the 4th round of the cup, i dont think they're mutually exclusive, but ya na.

     

    Correct.

     

    Spot on.

  4. Rodney Marsh on 5 Live earlier claimed Tevez is on £286k per week.

     

    After tax.

     

    And he wanted an improved contract? Mama Mia.

     

    Did he?

     

    Thought he said it's not about money? It's about promises that weren't kept? If true, imagine how fucked he'd be having any involvement with the Ashley era!
