Unbelievable

Source: http://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/newcastle-united-owner-mike-ashley-7928379 it's the old pardew is a good manager counter-argument really isn't it: Davie, would you be happy having the c*** buy celtic out then? no?...f***ing jog on then My point was that none of what was stated is factually correct. Ashley did not wipe out our debt. He did not hand us £130million interest free and he certainly hasn't backed Alan Pardew, or indeed any other manager, beyond reason.

"In fact, the last time Newcastle started a Premier League campaign this badly they went on to finish the season in fifth position." In 2011-12 we finished fifth and had 15 points on the board after 7 games. In 2003-04 we finished fifth and had 6 points on the board after 7 games.

Out of curiosity why? Hiddink has been well past his best for years, I mean the man made Pardew look good tactically in that Anzhi tie. To me Hiddink is the perfect appointment for international football or as a short term solution (i.e. the way Chelsea used him). I don't agree he's past it tactically, but he's a master at peaking at the right time, i.e. tournament type football. It's looking bleak, but I do hope he gets to prove it one last time, or this will be a really bad stain on an otherwise excellent career.

FT 2-0. Well well well

Introducing himself at the start of a post like he's some sort of rapper.

This is fucking unbelievable. I couldn't have hoped for a better appointment than Hiddink, but by the looks of things we could miss out on the next Euros

HT now. We're atrocious. Seems like all our players have been Hiddinked.

Shearer back to blaming the players in his latest interview on the Chronicle. All the players are underperforming, but it's apparently nothing to do with Pardew

I assumed you knew what I meant by 'impossible job' FFS. Still do.

For the same reason that Keegan won't. They've both dealt with Ashley first hand, so they would know it's an impossible job. Still, reading those quotes, that definitely refers to Pardew being poor, even if he doesn't mention him by name. I think the absence of a reference to Ashley here is more telling than the absence of Pardew being named directly.

Funny he blames Ashley and the players for all of this. Most of the times yes, not this time by the looks of it.

We's snap their hands off then never play him regardless of fitness.

Look what has become of us

Oh dear

We were 2-0 down at Swansea?

Yep, and they loan out players like it's going out of fashion. I can't see Uefa stepping in to stop Ashley doing owt.

Consett

It will be 90 minutes of SD ads and you know it

As a majority shareholder and director in NUFC I'm sure he could pay out dividends if he wanted to, and spend that cash any way he likes, so yes.

‘We’ve had to have the patience of a saint with Sammy and he’ll admit that,’ said Pardew, who warned the younger brother of former United striker Shola that his days at the club were numbered. ‘Now we need to see him deliver. The threat to him is still there – this is a big season for him. ‘He did particularly well when he came on at Swansea. He’s someone I’ve spoken about so many times over the past few seasons, talking about his potential. ‘He’s been a young player in the shadow of his brother for a long time. But this is a guy who is quick and has fantastic technical ability – he should be ripping this division up really, but he hasn’t been. Dat man management

No way

This is exactly it. Ashley called Keegan to London for crunch talks when Kevin dared to suggest the top four might be out of reach for Newcastle United. A month later, he replaced Mort with that sewage rat Llambias, who clashed with Keegan so badly and so quickly that it begs the question if it was not intentional rather than gross incompetence. What I would like to know is what happened in the summer of 2008 between Ashley appearing to give a fuck in May to pushing the self destruct button in September?
