It's all talk, but fair enough I guess. Thanks for the updates. Maybe he could start with giving us the true info about when he was first contacted by the club.... Already proven himself to be a fucking liar so I'll struggle to believe a word he says in the future.

I'd support him if he brought us success. But he won't.

Talksport determined to spread out the press conference between now and 10pm by playing 30 second clips every half an hour. Cunts. Turned it off now in protest.

I'd guess the latter I'd say with certainty that it's a bit of both. Know's he's getting fuck all funds and is lying about it because he was that desperate to get the job.

Talksport have some fucking rugby player interview. Cretins. Keep me updated on what's going on, people.

My thoughts on the matter <--------------------------

We all know who it is, it's f***ing Pardew. Stop pretending otherwise, it was Pardew 2 weeks ago, it was Pardew yesterday, it's Pardew today and at the press conference tomorrow guess what? It'll be Alan f***ing Pardew. I want to cry. I know it's Pardew, so does Craig. That's my point. Why say, "We don't know who's here" but, "we know it's not Klinsmann". I was directing my rant at Craig, not you, pretending he doesn't know.

We all know who it is, it's fucking Pardew. Stop pretending otherwise, it was Pardew 2 weeks ago, it was Pardew yesterday, it's Pardew today and at the press conference tomorrow guess what? It'll be Alan Fucking Pardew. I want to cry.

I think it is if you genuinely believe you've secured a top appointment who the fans will appreciate.

The present moment is probably the lowest I can remember feeling. The terrifying thing is that it's likely to be surpassed repeatedly in the near future, as in the next couple of transfer windows we see the sales of Carroll, Tiote, Enrique, Barton, Nolan and Coloccini, coupled with the arrival of Hayden Mullins and Emile Heskey.

he wasn't sacked from southampton for footballing reasons, in fact i remember many of their fans being up in arms (much in the same way many of our fans are) about it. Indeed. Work with a lad who's a Southampton season ticket holder and he reckons Pardew did a terrific job and was their best manager in recent years.

As usual, he'll justify nothing. There'll be an announcement of the new appointment and that's all we'll hear.

Felt it necessary to change my profile picture in light of the seeming inevitability of the impending appointment.

I'm just getting my hopes up that it's not Pardew.

To be honest it's fairly likely I'll have one irrespective of who we appoint. Or even if we don't appoint anyone. Friday's a long time to go without a wank.

Fucking hell Mike, surely even YOU can't get this decision wrong. Can you?

This. Why would Ashley have to appoint the new guy before the takeover could be completed? That's just ridiculous, and Hughton was on peanuts with only 6 months of his contract to run.

I don't think it's a contradiction. Ashley appointed Hughton because he was the cheap option, which people didn't approve of. But Ashley got lucky in that he accidentally appointed someone with some competence and dignity who the fans have ultimately taken to.

Kerry Katona. Nothing to do with her potential managerial abilities, I just don't think we should give people like her money to waste on drugs.

Ricky Ponting

Well that's the decision Ashley currently has on his plate, and I've staked £25 of my own money on Betfair that he chooses the wrong one. Expecting Mike Ashley to make a correct decision is about as likely to achieve a happy ending as playing Russian roulette with a fully loaded gun.

We'll get Pardew and it'll be Hughton to Ajax. Jol's leaving is just to make way for Chris.

This is going to be like a shitter version of when we all wanted Hitzfeld and ended up with Souness.
