He won't sack him.

Is he a Viking? Can't wait to see Pardew's head on a pike. The fish?

Ref coming off due to being hit with ball. Puff.

Megged directly from a throw

Neither do the commentators

Shame the window the window they are in is more like Fenwicks at Christmas

Shop window I reckon

Why though?

But do you think Ashley is that bothered about the crowd. I reckon he'll ride out until the end of the season and think it will die down. With some people it will.

Hope everything turns out good mate.

Thanks Disco and Bimpy. She's had a major op so still on the road to recovery, but every day I wake up next to her now I say a little thanks. Couldn't imagine how someone would feel if they lost someone to it.

He won't be sacked now or in the summer, no doubt about it.

:'( My wife has literally been given the all clear from breast cancer and having three kids I couldn't imagine surviving one of them. RIP thoughts are with his family, can't imagine what they're going through

So what i said then.

Most "sensible" (relatively sensible) fans I've spoken to who sympathize with this defeatist mindset say it comes from a "once bitten twice shy" point of view. We had a promising start to our PL years under Keegan, and came up short. Again under SBR we looked like we were on the verge of something spectacular, and again failed to deliver. Seems to me that some fans are utterly convinced that we have found our level with Ashley and Pardew and have no right to aim higher. Makes me f***ing sick. f*** me sensible Promising start? It was amazing. There was nothing promising though out those 5 years with Keegan. Best years of my life watching Newcastle. Idiots.

Not Hollywood enough

Agree with everything apart 'Mike saved the day' and the club was going down a very poor financial path. Genuinely would like to see how the debt has doubled though. No bullshit or anything. It was around £61m in 2007. It's now £129m. I'm not certain but i thought most of this additional was due to Ashley absorbing the overdraft.

Been away for a bit and with the risk of dragging this shite up again, pretty much bingo from Ian. It was very doubtful whether the club could meet the repayments in the next 12 months. Comparing it to Liverpool is laughable.

Talkshite is the best place for that twat.

http://replygif.net/i/558.gif mine is “All the players that have come here have improved, I can’t think of one who hasn’t. That is the most important thing when you are looking at your coaching strategy.” Trying to claim credit for something Alan??

they're both 10 on the shiteometer for me just for different reasons. Yep, spot on. I just don't like seeing the Shepherd love-in that has been happening over the last few pages. The blokes a moron. Can't put it any clearer than jdckelly

The loan didn't have to be paid off immediately under Shepherd. Surely you know this? It didn't. The club were going to struggle to meet the repayments though due to profit/loss under Shepherd. Surely you knew this?

I agree entirely. People just can't seem to separate Shepherd = bad, Ashely = good, from Shepherd = arsehole, Ashley = arsehole.

The overdraft was there before Ashley took the club over and the club was losing money. The stadium loan was structured by Shepherd/Halls, not because Ashley did not do DD.
