I'm the same but what's your thoughts on why we buy. Do we (as we should if you back the manager) buy players Pardew wants, or carry on trying to buy Carr's recommendations which we aren't because we're unwilling to spend as they're decent players.
Fwiw i wouldn't buy any player Pardew recommends, ever. I think we're fucked, if we buy Pardew's it'll be awful, if we try for Carr's we'll end up with nothing.
I'm hoping for now we'll be able to buy our way out of trouble and paper over the cracks in the short term, but we'd have to spend a good chunk this summer for me to keep my interest. We can't really win as fans currently.
Obviously, I'd LOVE for us to be free of pardew and ashley but that shows no signs of happening anytime soon sadly. All will be decided this summer, and if we fail to spend over £20m, we'll be heading for relegation.
