They all live and train in Moscow don't they? Fly in with armoured guards on match days. Sounds like a treat

This is nice, reminding Gus he's been fired.

"Secured the mandate for Xisco." I swear they do this on purpose.

Keegan let McDermott do everything. Prove me wrong. What would that matter? Has a former player said that was the case? You asked the question, I gave you the answer from a player's mouth. If you don't like it, you may as well not believe anything, because that's as good a source as you will get. I haven't heard anything from a players mouth regarding Shearer and every single talk grows into Chinese whispers. Ah. Well if you haven't heard it, you best ignore all those that have

No, just the first part of the bit you bolded "basically let Dowie do everything"

Based on what exactly? A few of the players have said it at talk-ins - Nolan basically said Dowie did everything and Shearer just picked the team.

According to Nolan Shearer didn't do a lot of coaching anyway, he left it all to Dowie. The players hated Dowie. Duff is a cock and was majorly shit for us but he did try and get us moving a bit in the last few games, Enrique snapped his hamstring against Pompey and we had little choice but to play Duff at left back. You can hardly blame him for the OG, it deflected off him from a ball that broke out from a corner ffs Just to reiterate, I fucking hate Damien Duff, but it's not like he volleyed the ball past Harper man

Yeah Giggs said it

More like Alan Carr

If you think Pardew is the root of all evil, you have grossly misunderstood the past 5 days

If this is true, I'm a little less apprehensive. I mean, it still sucks, but it puts a lot of faith in Carr, which I'm good with.

Heard some gub that we are at home and mackems are away as they wanted more time to prepare the pitch after the concerts

I love how all this shit is going on and the official twitter account is all "Haidara relishes left back challenge"

Assume Carr will still pick the players out and JFK will decide if they are suitable for the Premier League. Which is just ridiculous.

Why? their probably thick as thieves already, I'd imagine Pardew and Kinnear were good pals with Ashley even before Hughton was fired. The whole thing is fucking ludicrous so it wouldn't surprise me. Maybe I'm giving Pardew too much credit as a man.

Will he fuck man. Do you not think the writing is on the wall for him?

Imagine if it worked Pardew probably won't be in charge on the opening day, can see him walking after meeting this fucking idiot.

"Well, Baresi and van Basten made a good case, but Joe...Wow. He was the Nepal manager."

A lot of people have been clinging on to Pardew being sacked soon and the possible upgrades we could get. We don't even have that anymore, because you're just going to trade one turd for another. There is no way out of this now, what the fuck have we become. We will go down this coming season, I've never been more convinced.

Love this in the beeb article: "I've never been a manager of a club that's been relegated [Luton were relegated while he was in charge in 2001]."

"Which one of you posts as Nixon?"

I really hope they look at alternatives to JFK. Although it's probably a shortlist including Dennis Wise and Ruud Gullit, knowing our luck

To me it just seems a contingency plan so that if they sack Pardew they can seamlessly slot in a replacement.
