Blast from the past!

Carver has probably impressed Ashley enough with this to lock up the manager job after Pardew leaves.

He's cracking. Ashley will never sack him but hopefully he may resign.

Under this regime? He probably gets a raise for that.

We've been here a billion times before. We get our hopes up. We have our wet dreams. He never actually gets sacked.

Good, my fantasy points are safe

Watch Perez nick a goal here just to ruin my Fantasy scores.

Tend to agree. Doesn't mean we shouldn't continue to slaughter him though. I'd love for him to have to walk out. Might as well continue to give him shit since we've got fuck all else to do.

Let's not give ourselves false hope. He's here as long as Ashley is here. Even if he goes we'll get someone comparable.

He should let his "mate" know, and then stay the hell away from the club. Guess who our next manager is

i dont think we will, i think we´ll get an improvement, he wont risk us going down again. Todays statement is a positive in terms of pardew, and a new manager is concerned, imo. Personally I don't think Ashley will go on the open market for a manger. His tendency has generally been to appoint somebody he already knows well.

You just know if he leaves we'll get Carver, Beardsley, or Kinnear

Wrong - Rangers worldwide profile is far higher than ours due to the massive Scottish diaspora around the world. They will also be far more profitable once they get regular CL football, something NUFC can only dream about. That's wrong. The SPL gets zero international TV coverage (sans a couple CL group games every year, perhaps) while the BPL is watched by billions across the world every weekend. Whatever value the "Scottish diaspora" might have is dwarfed by the media exposure Sportsdirect gets from advertising in a PL stadium. This is especially true given that actual Rangers fans would end up hating sportsdirect as much as we do.

Club is basically giving away players that can't work with him. I suspect this is conclusive proof that he's completely bulletproof. He's here for as long as Ashley is.

Nothing means anything to me anymore. Might as well just fold the club and start over.

Who knows maybe Satka or Streete is mint

Loaning out a player in our thinnest, weakest position with no replacement. Sounds logical.

Only really need one good striker and I'd say there's a decent chance that at least one of our new strikers comes into form. Need two center backs and we don't have a single one that inspires confidence.

Center back should absolutely be the priority. Our situation there is miles more desperate than it is at striker

I mean, we've been through the "don't write them off early" thing so many times now that it's silly that it even needs to be mentioned. The kid has tools and is still adapting to the league. Let's give him more than two games.

...huh?

The Korean player in question has issued a statement saying that McKay is not a racist and was one of his biggest supporters while at the club, for what it's worth.

I don't see him making a lot of bad decisions. Just lacks the technique necessary to be dangerous in the final third.

This is exactly on point. Pardew is a boring but passable manager when he's not coaching afraid and lets the lads play. It's when he gets afraid and starts reverting to "Pardyball" when things go to shit. Hopefully we'll not have a bad run this season that gets him into that sorry state.
