  1. I think it's a trust problem. When Ashley has left people to their own devices it's come back to bite him in the arse in some way. - Allows Allardyce to sign players he wants, ends up stuck with utter rubbish on high wages - Lets Chris Mort set up a "system", ends up with the manager quitting (rightly) with the others in the system completely despised by the fans and shit at their jobs - Gets Llambias to run the club, despised by the fans, extremely hesitant in the transfer market to the point that Ashley apparently has to step in to push through purchases in January, fails completely to increase non-football revenues & signs a sponsorship contract that pisses off everyone I don't know if Pardew was Ashley's mate before getting the job or Llambias' mate. If it was the latter then it's another reason that Ashley might not trust people to do their jobs, if it's the former then it's probably why he's still here despite being demonstrably out of his depth. For some bizarre reason it looks like he trusts JFK hence why he keeps turning to him despite him being a lunatic. Ultimately Ashley's either going to have to bite the bullet and find someone to run the club that he doesn't know and initially trust but who can actually do the job and who knows how football works or he's going to have to be a lot more hands-on in running the club.

    Alan Pardew

    The Reading game at home was the final straw for me. If I'd been in charge I'd have sacked him before the team got off the field.
  3. Nowhere near good enough. Pardew will be loving it though since we didn't concede but the lack of attacking threat is really fucking disturbing.
  4. Is he trying to get himself sacked? I can't think of another reason to make that substitution.
  5. A League Two side would have run their bollocks off to reach every ball and would not have simply submitted as meekly as this shower of shite

    Nile Ranger

    When he first joined us he said it was like a new start, being away from all of the dodgy influences in his life and initially it looks like it kind of worked. He was able to concentrate on football, get into the 1st team and was rewarded with a long contract. Then he's suddenly back with the dodgy influences and his career has cratered. With a good manager & mentor (like Carroll with Nolan) to keep him focussed on football instead of focussing on his social life he might make it as a footballer. Or he might just be a dick.

    Stewart Downing

    Well he's from Middlesbrough, so make of that what you will.
  8. The only racist remarks I really remember at St James' towards one of our own players was someone calling Franz Carr a useless black bastard (the same guy was cheering with the rest of the crowd when Carr scored less than 30 seconds after that). I think Carr was only the 5th black player to play for us so it might have just been that we'd never had enough black players prior to that for the racists to complain about, I did know someone whose wife used to call Asprilla that nig nog so there were definitely plenty of ignorant racists supporting us.
  9. Or he can't read or write. Or he's sat on the phone talking to his local pizza takeaway wondering why they won't let him buy Darren Bent.
  10. He's learned how to piss the fans off pretty effectively
  11. Should really try to persuade them to run with scissors instead

    Alan Pardew

    Because we have a manager who would probably think that Paolo Maldini wasn't a worthwhile defender because he only averaged 0.5 tackles per game and wasn't 6'4"
  13. He's going to back Pardew isn't he? He's going to look at all those weird foreign names that Carr keeps coming up with compared to Pardew's list of English cloggers and end up fucking Carr off.

    Everything there sounds plausible, reasonable and logical with the exception of Joe Fucking Kinnear being involved at any level.

    You do remember that it was Mort who hired Wise, etc.? Whilst he was on good terms with the fans, sacked Fat Sam & hired Keegan he also paved the way for all the disastrous events later.
  16. Ashley's a ruthless self-made multi-billionaire who apparently thought nothing of losing £400million in banking shares when the credit crunch hit. He doesn't need to play political games with DL for power within the club, he owns 100% of the club himself. If he was pissed off with how DL is running things he'd just sack him, the same goes for Pardew. Bad press doesn't seem to bother him at all. Losing a few £million in compensation is pocket change to him. I can't think of any other reasons to appoint JFK in such a senior position other than spite or football's biggest practical joke since Ali Dia.
  17. Karl Pilkington to Ashley's Gervais?
  18. Considering everything else that he's said, I'm just assuming that he's been calling his local takeaway and they've been too polite to tell him that he's called Pizza Express instead of Manchester United.
  19. There's no justifiable reason to appoint this fuckwit other than to antagonise people. Carr can now have his transfer targets overruled by an (even bigger) idiot. Pardew has some footballing dinosaur "advising" him on tactics. Llambias has been moved into a role with no oversight on football. The players have some halfwit getting their names wrong and talking utter crap about their profession. The fans already hated him and have held him as the object of derision since his original spell here. There's got to be some secret what-insane-decision-can-you-get-away-with competition going on between club owners for this to make even the slightest bit of sense.
  20. Fuck this shit. The man is a mentally unstable imbecile who managed to insult the fans and players in his first interview. He's actually deluded, he believes in events that have been shown to have never occurred. His tactical knowledge is laughable and his history in the transfer market is meagre at best. If I didn't have a season ticket I wouldn't attend. Even with a season ticket I'm contemplating just staying away until he disappears.
  21. Any way he can be reported to mental health authorities to get him sectioned?
  22. What the fucking fuck? Been out all day & come back to this shit. In no way does this actually make the slightest bit of sense whatsoever.
