Yup he will sort them out financially but will suck the life and joy out of it He hasn't done that here mind - the huge increase of media revenue has done that

Apparently the quote is bullshit according to Red Issue

Heeeeeeed Army! I've thoroughly enjoyed going this season as my mate Carl Finnigan signed for them! They've got a cracking array of songs and make plenty of noise! Get yourself along if you can in the future!

Ha ha ha I rang Mark Hughes. Robbie [savage] wasn't in the Blackburn team and I asked Mark if we could try to arrange a deal. Sparky said: 'Yeah, yeah, he's lost his way here but he could still do a job for you.' Robbie's legs were going a bit but I thought he might come up to us [at Sunderland], with his long hair, and give us a lift - the way Yorkie [Dwight Yorke] had, a big personality in the dressing room. Sparky gave me permission to give him a call. So I got Robbie's mobile number and rang him. It went to his voicemail: 'Hi, it's Robbie - whazzup!' like the Budweiser ad. I never called him back. I thought: 'I can't be fucking signing that."

Dog-bumming bearded wanker! On Newcastle "I always thought they were an arrogant bunch, for a club that'd won fuck all."

It’s important that my resilience is the strongest of anybody. ‘Yeah, I’ve had one or two interactions where fans have made their point and I’ve got no problem with that, that’s part of being a football manager. ‘I’ve also had two or three fans who are wishing me to come through it and I appreciate that as well.’

Didn't Keegan have a clause where if he walked (without reason!) then he owed the fat wanker £2 million?

Convenient timing just before Pardew faces the press! Might be that new PR bloke's magic rubbing off!

One up top! He wants his pay-off! http://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/alan-pardew-set-stick-same-7867160

Quality that. Our fans were superb on Monday too about him. The Jonas song was about 25 minutes non-stop 2nd half plus we couldn't get served after a while singing it pre-match in a few bars in Congleton!

http://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/alan-pardew-running-out-journalists-7859476 Alan Pardew is running out of time at Newcastle United and running out of space to manoeuvre when it comes to addressing the public. There was an almost comical situation when the Chronicle asked the question whether he felt he could genuinely come back from another Premier League defeat. Pardew quickly turned to his communications chief Wendy Taylor, who batted the question away saying: “No questions from NCJ sorry” only for the manager then to turn to another banned title in the Daily Telegraph and quickly realise - in the presence of some of London’s frontline press men - that he could look a bit silly if he continued to pick and choose who to answer. After the press conference leading national writer Henry Winter tweeted: “Pathetic. “Local papers vital for a club, they arefamily.” For the second time in five months the Stoke City tea lady was left open-mouthed in the friendly old Potteries. It was a bizzare night in Stoke and as assembled hacks tried to hit deadlines it almost felt a little surreal as a touring American, who had been to the Ryder Cup, protested loudly to Potters staff about the lack of free beer in the media room - we weren’t in the media-friendly environment of the United States! Pardew knows fine well who each journalist is though. Shortly after being appointed he asked his press office to compile a dossier of each journalist so he could put names to faces. At the start of last season he also invited the North East press pack out for lunch on the Quayside to discuss his hopes and aims for the 2012/13 season and build up some rapport with journalists. There is nothing wrong with that, of course. In the United States sports coaches regularly spend time with journalists as they try to get the message out. In fact, in the MLS the dressing room doors are open around 20 minutes after the game and media men are given access to speak to who they want as well as one-on-ones with the manager. The Premier League try to encourage mixed zones but they can do little to stop press bans. Newcastle are a million miles away from the MLS and way behind their Premier League counterparts. Last season, one opposing Premier League Press officer said: “They are very touchy your lot aren’t they!” Once a siege mentality kicks in at a football club almost anything becomes believable. That said, Pardew has been irked by a lot of what has been written in the past few weeks. After the 2-2 draw with Hull City he said: “I am going to pick out Robbie Savage this week” after the ex-Welsh international and BBC pundit said he sounded like a broken man. Savage, who spoke after the 4-0 loss to Southampton, said: “I stand by what I said about Pardew after Newcastle’s 4-0 defeat by Southampton - I did not say he was a broken man, I said he sounded like one. “He did sound dejected, although I have never been in the situation he was in, coming out to face the media after a game where his players have not performed. It must be very difficult.” Pardew has not just been annoyed by what Savage has said recently. He has also taken issue with things Chronicle columnist Rob Lee and Journal columnist Don Hutchison have said in the past. One of his main gripes has been the suggestion he is sitting and waiting to be sacked. Pardew was offended by talk he was simply standing by for compensation but at the moment he would be advised to focus on winning football matches rather than rounding up who is saying negatives about him. Nobody likes being criticised but when you are the bloke in charge of the team whch has banked 19 points from a possible 81 since Boxing Day it is always going to come your way. Newcastle are notstruggling because they are unlucky. They are struggling because the manager cannot figure out a game plan to win Premier League matches and opposing bosses are easily working out how to turn the Magpies over. Regardless of comments from pundits and journalists or whether they are on point or not - the league table does not lie. Pardew has had more than enough time to make this team his own.

http://www.football365.com/faves/9496190/F365-Says Football Making A Fool Of The Business Genius By all accounts, Mike Ashley has a Midas touch when it comes to the huge success of his Sports Direct empire. But football often doesn't have time for business sense... Last Updated: 30/09/14 at 10:17 Post Comment • • Latest Articles Time For Van Gaal's Tactical Nous To Prevail Post comment Injuries have afforded Louis van Gaal an excuse for Man United's slow start but, with a number of players expected to return against Everton, the manager needs a big performance... How Much In 'Pounds Raheem Sterling'? Post comment A whole lot of you use footballers' names in everyday life. And you hate yourselves for it. As you should. We also have mails on Newcastle, Rooney and more... All Articles Mike Ashley is one of the smartest and most successful businessmen in Britain. When we talk about billionaire owners we tend to have in mind foreigners - Russians, Arabs, Malaysians - but Ashley owns 58% of Sports Direct, which has a market capitalisation of £3.8bn. Even critics call him a retail genius. He is controversial - a short-term investment Sports Direct is making in Tesco has attracted criticism, while earlier this year shareholders voted against a bonus scheme whose terms meant he could not use his otherwise controlling stake. But he is undeniably possessed of a Midas touch when it comes to sporting goods, building one of the country's largest retailers and a personal fortune that makes the mind boggle. He got over the nixing of that bonus scheme by turning two million pounds' worth of shares into cash. And yet, Newcastle United. With the side off the bottom only on goals scored, after two troubling seasons since finishing fifth in 2012, it is no wonder that supporters want his head. Whether or not Stoke fans were right to join in and sing that Alan Pardew is getting sacked in the morning - it might be the afternoon, or the axe may not fall at all just yet - the Newcastle owner has a decision to make. And it is quite possible that the retail genius will make the wrong one. What is especially remarkable is the ability of too many who have passed through St James' Park to create crises out of nothing. This summer's transfer business was sufficiently promising that the odds on Pardew being the first manager out of his job doubled across the course of July. But the failure to reintegrate Hatem Ben Arfa, sending him to Hull instead, left the club short of creativity and opened up a fresh front in the war between the supporters and the club that has been going on at least since Kevin Keegan's second resignation. Bringing in Joe Kinnear once was bizarre enough, likewise Dennis Wise. Yet Kinnear, who went down worse than Alex Salmond at the Tory conference the first time around, was hired for a repeat performance. Then Pardew - having won his battle over Kinnear and got away with celebrating via a headbutt - has contrived to throw it all away. Ashley himself put both feet in his mouth with his joke about the manager being sacked if he lost at Stoke, but the blunder was entirely in character. The naming rights fiasco, the treatment of Alan Shearer, the whole cockney mafia thing - even the high point of the Ashley era, the fifth-place finish of 2012, was turned into a curse by the hasty award of an eight-year contract for Pardew a few months later. Whatever the terms of that deal, whatever the get-out clause, it was a ridiculous act. And yet, Sports Direct. God knows how it will all work out for Pardew in the next few hours and days, all we can know for certain is that whatever happens Newcastle will be back in bad ordure in remarkably short order. It's what they do, it's what Ashley does. But at least, if you search hard enough for a moral here, you can see one important truth. If football were just a business then the business genius would be good at it. Instead, such is the complexity and paradoxical hold of the game that even the billionaire is never far from his next blunder. Philip Cornwall

Faustino Asprilla’s latest business venture: guava-flavoured condoms • Production of condoms underway in China • ‘Guava is very good for romancing,’ says Asprilla • The Joy of Six: post-Christmas purchases theguardian.com, Thursday 25 September 2014 11.29 BST Faustino Asprilla has confirmed he will be launching a line of condoms in Colombia. The former Parma and Newcastle striker has revealed that production of his own line of condoms is already underway in China. The condoms, planned to be on sale in Colombia initially, will be sold under the brand name “Tino”. Asprilla, speaking to the Colombian radio show La FM, expressed his enthusiasm for his new business venture. “I think it’s a really cool idea, “ he said. “They’ll hopefully be launched with a campaign to prevent unplanned teenage pregnancies.” The condoms will come in all sizes and in a variety of flavours. “I’ll recommend the guava flavour condom,” Asprilla added. “When I was growing up, we had a guava tree in our garden and that’s a flavour and aroma that’s very good for romancing.” El Tino, who turned down a lucrative offer by an Italian porn company to star in one of their films last year , maintained that the main intention behind the condom brand is to encourage “healthy sexual habits”. Asprilla has maintained a busy business profile since retiring from professional football in 2009. He has been working setting up an academy in his home country of Colombia, with links to Newcastle, as well as building a portfolio of real estate farming land.

Voted MOM last night by most sites and for the third time this season by some of the several well-respected football journalists - well done Colo (Good morning Ronaldo! )

@henrywinter: Coloccini man of the match for #nufc, real leadership, but Adam Armstrong also impressive. Played as a 10, got touch, energy, real potential

Man City away!

Majestic by Colo that!

No game until next Monday so nice to see us really going for it! Fuck off Pardew!

http://sackpardew.com/quotes/pardviews/ Some gems in there!

And he admitted that life had been made “difficult” by fan protests, social media and the wider Press of late. In an interview with BBC Newcastle he said: “It’s difficult for us. “We are trying to create an atmosphere in a stadium. “It’s difficult for my media staff. “It’s difficult for me. “We don’t quite know what to say. “And there has been some reporting that quite frankly has been outrageous really. “But we accepted all of that. “After the performance at Southampton I said to the players there’s no point in whinging about it, people’s comments or whatever they want to do, because we didn’t deliver. “For this football club that performance wasn’t right,” And he also stated that despite talk of him resigning or waiting for the payout that would release him from his five year contract, he was never considering quitting at Southampton after the 4-0 loss. He said: “I was never, never, never going to walk out of the club on the back of that performance. “I’m proud of being manager here. “I don’t have an arrogance or an ego about me that I am going to sit it out and waiting for whatever.”
