This he's fucking begging for it himself if you ask me, he's failed enough times in his career himself to know where this is headed

Social fucking networking He is an absolute master at getting ahead of criticism pardew like. Most fans seem to lap it up with a biscuit too. He should fill in for Max Clifford when that cunt gets sent down. Move would suit all parties.

not having a go but amazed you'd still be in favour of keeping pardew tbh, regardless of who comes in I actually don't know at this point, would probably give him the sack now if it was up to me. But I'd still be worried about what would happen next. Who knows what's going on in Ashley's head though, maybe he only looks at league position. to me if he sacked him and brought in kinnear (or someone else ridiculous) tomorrow it'd be a step in the right direction as it'd at least galvanise the fans and wake them up from their pardew-coma we're at the point where change is needed for changes sake imho, then we have to spin the wheel and hope ashley gets lucky with whoever he appoints

with any luck someone will point out to ashley that the entirety of last season was fucking horrible and we nearly went down, this season was poor except for that run of games that cemented the top half spot and then it's back to relegation form again he's essentially gambling that pardew can put a similar run together i suppose if he keeps him, because normal ops for pards is relegation-level football and we all know it EDIT: i suppose he's also gambling that below the top 7 no-one else strengthens and the table remains woeful below that point, otherwise even 'good' pardew will not likely get him his top 10

Because he's way out of his depth. He's always been scared of this job. He is trying to downsize the club to his level of ability and expectation - unfortunately for us, many fans have accepted this brainwashing and the media are quite happy to see us where they think we belong...mid-table at best. They have never got over the shock that we gave them from 1993-97... Really don't think downsize is the right word, if anything he's making the club out to be a bigger challenge than it "should" be. Not that it makes much difference.

first 2 seasons he balanced the books give or take didn't he? SBR....kevin gallacher on a free and so on he was "backed" only at the point of the robert and bellamy signings iirc

Shepherd 'walked the walk'

jesus no, imagine how slow he's gonna be now man

welcome to sunderland

2 strikers linked, one valued at about 2m and another playing for lyon strokes beard and contemplates how this might play out

see this is the catch isn't it? you'd hope ashley would bump into someone with some football knowledge in his local boozer this time and start taking their advice about football matters, thus highlighting the bolded point to him however how many people in football are actually towing this line at the moment? pardew has done such an amazing job of convincing everyone that he's working under difficult circumstances it doesn't appear people in the game seem to think he's doing badly, and on paper he's not i guess suppose we can hope he bumps into wullie and they get chatting or summit

liverpool home shirt reminds me of a swindon strip for some reason, can't get past it

some insane delusion in there from that one fella like, jesus, must be about 9 years fucking old

http://www.thejournal.co.uk/sport/sport-opinion/agenda-newcastle-united-stopped-talking-6940110? even in a 'negative' article he's being singled out for credit in this area when other clubs just get the fuck on with it ashley, pardew & llamblias have done a stunning job on everyone, they really fucking have like it's unreal

AvB needed a stint at a club like Everton with full control. Russia is no judge of anyone his age, neither are daft clubs. Seems to me given a run in Italy or Spain he might be very good indeed.

Winner I concur. i'll contribute to that tbh

poor choice of words tbh

nah he doesn't need to do that and doesn't seem to do it at SD, doesn't take a salary or bonus or whatever from there either...if he perceives himself to be 140m down or whatever a bonus or salary as a director isn't gonna do bollocks really Hmm, he tried to give himself a bonus with SD and the board wouldn't allow it. That's what made me put 2 and 2 together and probably get 5. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-26859758 perhaps linked but as he owns the club outright he can do whatever the fuck he likes really, if he wants to take 65m out of the club or something he can just do it really

should have kept him tbh, unless there were behind the scenes things that demanded his immediate removal...i think they'd have improved as he went on

has anyone seen a comparison of AvB's start to the season with spurs and sherwoods since taking over?

1 or 2 top quality first team players a season would be fine if they went out and bought 5-6 this summer to rectify their past mistakes in previous windows or indeed 1 to 2 this summer and sack pardew for example relegation battle it is then fuck this clown already, he reeks of duplicity

I actually managed to skim right over that bit. Wonder what the point is. made me curious too, maybe a more hands on approach from now on? if he's selling shares in SD to satisfy investors and has just been knocked back for that massive bonus scheme, perhaps it's a paper move to distance him from the running of SD somewhat...he can point to a status on the NUFC board and claim he's involved in that, or some bollocks
