Wise, Kinnear and Llambias were all mates with Ashley but ultimately they got the boot. Pardew is incapable of keeping us clear of relegation trouble so he WILL be sacked before Christmas. Probably this month at some point. I wouldn't be surprised if Kinnear just decided to pack it in because of his health and Llambias left because he disagreed with Ashley on how to run the club. Don't really remember the circumstances behind Wise's departure. Was announced hours before Shearer was announced interim manager in the relegation season. I guess it was one of Shearer's conditions for taking the job?

I really can't wait to see how all of our ostensibly decent players who look like pure shit play under a normal manager.

He was okay when he first came over. Classic case of being Pardewed

Or whatever Hughton got sacked for. What was that again? Getting beat by West Brom while 11th in the league? He got sacked for disagreeing with Ashley. The results had less to do with it. Wrong it was all Llambas work. He said Houghton is too nice a yes man. Pardew can stand up to him. Llambas said he use to watch Pardew Westham and he admired his work there. Ashley only stick to him because thats what he does on his business managers. The point is, the sacking had nothing to do with the results on the pitch. Results on the pitch lead to results in the bank account. Ultimately the threat of relegation will force Ashley's hand regardless of how much he wants to support Pardew. I don't buy the idea that Ashley is terrified of relegation. Newcastle is a drop in the bucket relative to his total personal worth. While the free advertising for Sports Direct is a nice bonus, all around the club probably makes him very little money relative to the trouble it causes him. On the other hand, I can see Ashley being extremely wary of the effect it would have on his image as a businessman if he showed that he could be influenced by any form of popular protest. He'd rather see this club relegated to the conference and/or dissolved than appear weak. I would also guess that he hates the fans and would like nothing more than the longtime ST holders/hardcore supporters to give up and fill the crowd with daytrippers who barely even know the manager's name. Part of his calculation has to be that he'll drive the sackpardew.com crowd and other vocal folks away from matches if he keeps Pardew around long enough. All of this is just conjecture, of course.

This is the guy who appointed Kinnear, would not sack him until he almost dropped dead, said the job was waiting for him if he wanted to come back after relegation, and then brought him back to the club as dof years later. Ashley is a disgusting combination of pig headed and fiercely loyal to his mates. Pardew will never be sacked for results. The only thing that can get him out is some sort of personal falling out with Ashley.

We're all setting ourselves up for crushing disappointment

I'd say he's odds-on favorite

I can't wait to see how pathetic his post-match interview is.

"Let's go get a pint and laugh at those poor Geordies who think we're actually going to sack Alan"

At least Sammy tries I guess.

My life's savings on this corner being aimed at Williamson

You say "the club" as if the only direction people at "the club" take is from MA. We have no idea where that direction came from, but I'm sure if AP tells Wendy/The Tea Lady/any other lacky cunt, to get in touch with Stoke and ask them to close the area, then they would. I find it extremely doubtful that you could do something like this without some sort of approval from the management. It unfortunately jives with all of the other things we've seen for the past few weeks: giving away players he doesn't get along with, confiscating the sackpardew banners etc. He's here for as long as Ashley is here. But you literally have no proof to support that. Ashley says nothing, and by all accounts has been exceptionally hands-off for the majority of his tenure. I'm sure no matter what, whether it's a lacky, or maybe even Charnley, they'd do what AP asked for, and IMO it means absolutely nothing with regards to his potential sacking. Right now he's NUFC manager, and they're going to "support" him, but it doesn't mean shit if we don't get results. Of course I'm just making an educated guess here, but I think if he was ever going to be sacked over results it would have happened months ago. At that point we were safe. It meant absolutely nothing to Ashley to be losing those games. We continue that for another month or two? We're in real danger, and fatman will make his move. Hopefully he'll do it a lot earlier than that, obviously. We were in deep, deep shit two seasons ago and Ashley barely flinched. Then he survived another half season of basically losing every game. He's bulletproof. If he's ever sacked the reasons will have nothing to do with football. Off the back of our AMAZING 5th place finish and excuses a plenty. There's been a whole host of shit since then. We have not been in this situation before, there is no proof whatsoever that AP is bulletproof. And he certainly doesn't look like a man who think he's bulletproof. Going back to my original statement, I think emptying the away section etc. shows that the club is still 100% behind him. His body language doesn't necessarily mean he fears for his job. His ego is probably hurting from all the losses and I imagine it can't be easy to have the fans on your back every game. I think that's a ridiculous assumption to make from the closing of an area of seats at the Brittania stadium. Agree to disagree it is. But you're wrong. I'd like to be

Dummett might as well keep shooting. Those speculative long shots are probably the best chance we have of scoring.

Let's bring Obertan on to change the game

I wonder who the next sub will be. There aren't any left backs on the bench.

Fuck analysis. Everyone is bad at everything.

Looks like a man that knows its decision time. needs to hurry to the pub and get pissed and tell a jouno what hes thinking. Probably giggling to himself knowing that a bunch of people are overanalyzing his expression
