Thought you were describing Williamson then.

Lose every game, get 10 points deducted for Carver wearing eye bleeding unsightly shell suits, get a double relegation to the first division for being the worst team in history

On account of him offering fans out, the correct course of action would have been to meet the fan at training and apologise wholeheartedly for his "passionate" display at the game and take back what he said. So, yes, that is inclusive of "top 10 reasons Carver is a cunt".

I don't think Ashley's even bothered by the TV money par se, more likely that as long as we're self sufficient he couldn't give a toss, Ashley's money train is the free international advertising and his real passion going from strength to strength, even the TV money is chump change in comparison to what NUFC has done for S***** D*****

Obvious thing is obvious! Unequivocal proof Ashley only cares about the money, rather than reinvest the £3.5m we got for Pardew and add a little extra from massive NUFC bank balance on getting in a decent manager and kicking on we'd rather save a few pennies and write off a season half way through, AGAIN! Well how about supporters write off remaining balance on their ST and the rest of the games be free to watch as we've basically given up? Even if Carver had the ability to drive the team forward if imagine this will have a huge negative effect on team moral or more pertinently why should the players give a fuck? Good job Fatman and Baldylocks you've fucked it up again, hate this fucking regime man.

I've just watched this and it's so horribly true it's unreal, our club will be nothing more than a shell until Ashley goes and why people still pay pounds notes to go and support this charade is beyond me Although it's horribly accurate and true it boils my piss that they wouldn't have even blinked at this if Pardew was still here. However, regardless of the turn of events it takes to get to this point, we're here and people are finally asking questions. I found the last line pertinent too "you can't put emotions up for sale." Well said.

Ugh fuck off hippo heed

You see, in the 4 years he was here I thought the core problems were the s*** football that completely drained my interest in the game, a pointless brush with relegation, 4 consecutive defeats to the mackems, and the mistreatment of any player who looked to muster up even the smallest amount of excitement. Pardew was only here for so long because of the underlying problem - Mike Ashley. If any of those things mattered to Ashley (apart from the relegation battle I don't think he does), Pardew would've been gone. IN the end he was basically sold - so there isn't anything to indicate a change in mentality from above. Fact is - the important people running the club consider a midtable finish a success for the club. Pardew managed it most of his time here and they where satisfied with his performance. When we get someone new in, the same definition of success would remain. The new man will have to rise above expectations of his employer to do anything meaningful. If they thought Carver could deliver midtable finishes consistently they would hire him in an instant. Fact is Pardew was a shit manager that kept Ashley advertising his cheap shit on an international stage (barely) whilst also deflecting critisism aimed towards his boss. Of course he was never going to get sacked, if we were in genuine threat of relegation he'd have been gone in an instant. Ashley runs NUFC for his own selfish financial needs, that won't change, what can change is that a fairly decent manager can overcome the financial barrier in front of him and make use of the tools he has at his disposal, not consistently blame that barrier for his own failings whilst flaunting the availability of his best players. A walking contradiction. Yes a lot of the problems still exist but I won't accept the way the club is run as an excuse for things that were always in his power to change, style of play, player positions, taking cups seriously, amongst other things, these were all in Pardews power to change (if he was a half decent manager). As Yorkie alluded to, the state of footballing institutions is a hot topic for debate, NUFC being prime example of how ownership has changed for the worse in the last decade. But I don't watch football for the off field politics, it's not a soap opera (though it seems to be with us sometimes) I watch it for the game being played on the pitch and Pardew wrecked that enjoyment for me. That will change so long as the appointment is right.

Hibernating? You'll end up in an emmaciated coma by the time we hire someone. Ashley is just trying to create more apathy at SJP whilst saving the pennies. That way rather than an uproar, a shite manager appointment will get a slightly tepid shrug of shoulders instead. Uncertainty is the best way of draining passion and fight out of supporters. We're all Sp***s Di***t zombies that turn up and amble through the turnstiles in hoards.

According to the Sun article (my boss bought the paper) Garde gave too many excuses to wait until the summer, back room staff included. That was the only "bad interview" reasons given, not as to his own credentials or demands per se, just that he seemed unwilling to come now.

Gutted if true about Garde, Shteev isn't that bad an appointment but seems a kick in the bollocks after the names that have been mentioned. However doesn't seem to reflect the image of the Head Coach described by Penfold.

I don't care that he's doing well for them, good luck to them, enjoy it while it lasts. His time here was well beyond what it should have been, he should have left at least 2 years ago and that's all I need to know. He's had his limelight once, fucked it up and ended up dropping down the leagues. Inexplicably we gave him a second bite of the cherry, it won't be long before he's sinking again and becomes irrelevant. He's irrelevant to Newcastle United now and that's all that matters!

It's possible that the silence has ensued after they've met and the club have asked Garde to keep silent for whatever reason and that's why France has been quiet for a while. I doubt it though tbh, I'm just not hopeful over this appointment. Literally no point in trying to second guess Ashley, f*** knows what's going on, but at least the pendulum has swung away from Carver and there has been no denial or ruling out from either camp about Garde and as long as it stays that way, there is hope. True enough. How's the pendulum swung away from Carver btw? I've just woke up with a hangover. Without reading through it all again, it was along the lines of the club needs to hire a coach soon, whether that be him or someone else. When asked if he was out of the running after today's result he admitted that he probably was as it is a results based business and it's not been good enough. Well, thank f*** I suppose if that's the case. Can't blame the guy for wanting his dream job, can only blame the club for considering someone who's clearly not good enough. Now they just need to make the right decision. Just once it'd be nice if they did something professional like. Press conference tomorrow giving Garde time before the next game etc. ....you're still drunk aren't you?

As much as he was in the wrong for the way he acted in Pardew's defence and has been tainted by proxy of Pardew, coupled with the fact he's simply not good enough; a) you cannot blame him for applying for his dream job and b) you have to respect him for admitting he's out of his depth and having the clubs best interest at heart. I have more respect for him in these 3 weeks than I had in 4 years of Pardew. Having said that I won't be gutted to see him replaced if Garde comes in with his own back room.

They've not ruled out Alan Carr I see

I see the bi-polar is in full swing here today bud

"KaKa - The heart wrenching story of a bi-polar Newcastle United Supporter"

Aye, I can strangely put up with him a bit more than Pardews punchable face but my f***ing word I would cry if he got it. He talks about Souness regime as if he wouldn't totally ruin us in that way if he got the job. Now we may all be totally wrong about him and he may well have a sound football philosophy and being at the club he loves will trigger it, but I think we all know that's not going to be the case and he is just a rambling fuckpig who holds Pardew in the same regard as Bobby and Keegan probably. 2 managers that you believed when they spoke and results and performance showed how class they were f***ing Souness man, the only appointment that was more ridiculous than Palace paying for Pardew, at least Pardew had us top 10 we PAID for a manager that was sat at the bottom of the table with a demoralised Blackburn ffs. Carver is a mistake, a big mistake and if your trying to rationalise an argument against that you need your head checked! We deserve better and should absolutely be aiming higher. Yeah, I'm really not trying to rationalise I reckon it would be catastrophic. When Souness was appointed I called it, sat with my mate I said he would put us back 10 years, it was worse than appointing Dogleash after Keegan. Going from a forward thinking progressive manager to defensive boring s*** was never going to work. We have the opportunity to do it the other way around again and I hope to f*** we choose well I wasn't suggesting you were rationalising it, it was a general observation that some were, like they're trying to kid themselves it's not the nightmare decision it actually is. It's that kind of thinking that got Pardew 4 years and keeps Ashley safe from all his mental decisions. I totally agree, we've been put in a great position to kick on and undo some of the shit that has preceded this moment and it feels like our grip is loosening. We're in danger of perpetuating the rot rather than putting an end to it.

That Nolan chance at the end, man. It's already probably the most dramatic game of the last 20-odd years but it could have been even better. That Nolan chance at the end, man.

It's already probably the most dramatic game of the last 20-odd years but it could have been even better. We'd rather lose 4-3 than win 1-0? No, but we'd rather a balls to the wall 4-4 than a soul destroying backs to the wall 0-0. When Nolan went in I thought that was it, if we had Fergie time that day we'd have won no doubt.

Back to the last page, the last time I really enjoyed a game was definitely the 4-4 it had everything, backs to the wall quickly changed to balls to the wall, I honestly thought we were going to win that game. When that Tiote goal went in I was screaming like a stuck pig

Just been out come back and read this page too, heart stopped for a second, nearly had the blood of two people on your hands there Taylor_j hang your head in shame! Although the two page fuckup probably serves as punishment enough
