We're a few days away from selling Sissoko with no replacement and appointing Beardsley at manager, yet I'm excited. How fucked up is this club.

This can't possibly be happening. He'll fail a medical or something.

It has to happen at this point. Even if Palace don't pay for Pardew, Ashley will sack him for this. For what though? All he did was miss a press conference Having the temerity to negotiate with Palace behind his back and present him with an ultimatum?

I suppose the bright side to this is that even if Palace decide not to pay for Pardew, Ashley may be sufficiently fed up to just sack him.

The local media know diddly squat as usual. Ridiculous that they've scheduled two half-hour live chats where,they'll just repeat variations of "we don't know yet" for every question.

It's too much hope, Kanji. Don't hope this much. He's going to jump out of his office window when that ten-year extension comes through this afternoon.

Should be given the chance to relegate a big club.

In his defense, we have had players that have looked like utter calamities for up to a full season and turned out to be alright. That said, we have had many more players that have looked like utter calamities and actually were utter calamities.

I draw the line at Kinnear. Anything beyond that is fine.

Would be wildly gutted if we missed another chance to get someone decent and just end up with a very mediocre Pulis, albeit a wildly better option than Pardew. Don't think the atmosphere will be anything other than apathetic like it has been, regardless. He hasn't done anything tbf. A few quotes about how he is flattered but committed to Newcastle and its forgotten. I'd be more than content with Pullis. He's miles better than anyone I expect us to appoint.

I'm worried too, but at this point I'll take worried over "don't give a shit"

The only reason i'm not betting my life's savings on this is because I'm not sure if it will be Beardsley, Carver, or Kinnear

I imagine Ashley would refuse compensation just to stop us from being happy

One of them is probably our new manager

Regardless of whether he actually goes or not, it's really tragic how while we were doing everything we could to get rid of him, it seems like Pardew himself didn't really like being here either.

Newcastle?

Pullis at least has a plan and can execute it competently. Don't think you could say the same about Sherwood.

Out of the poll, the only remotely realistic options (British, unemployed, shit) are as follows: Beardsley McKay Pulis Sherwood So yeah, I'd totally take Pullis.

Out of the realistic options I guess I'd take Pullis.

"Newcastle announces new ten-year contract for Alan Pardew"

Don't do this to yourself man. No way he's ever leaving

You know what's going to happen? Ashley is going to keep him here by offering him a new, improved ten-year contract.

Beardsley IMO

Don't be silly. There has to be someone worse.
