wouldn't you want them trying to sort out someone in case things didn't work out rather than leaving it till they've decided to get rid ? So it's right they were sounding out managers when we were no lower than 10th in the table? Were all the other clubs below us in the table doing this? When would you suggest we sound out Pardew's replacement in case things don't work out? The whole situation is indefensible.

How's Nolan not likeable?

they'll suspend for many reasons, unusual betting patterns, large bets that will mean the odds changing, a large number of bets coming in at once. Yes, and the they check to see if the odds are reasonable following those scenarios, like I said.

They suspend the markets often just to make sure the odds are all reasonable. Doesn't automatically means its a done deal I don't think.

and prior to the chelsea game ? We lost. If this so called rot had set in, how come we managed to pull that result out of the bag? It's been explained time and time again but its obvious this season would be up and down. We went on a bad run with two terrible home defeats and then beat the mackems, Arsenal and West Ham. There's no reason why we wouldn't get out of this rut, especially with key players returning. Anyone who thought we'd go the whole season without hitting bad patches is completely unrealistic. not to mention the way we were playing, how the tactics seemed to have changed to "high to carroll". re getting a point off chelsea if the rot had set in... it happens, i remember one of the worst nufc teams i've seen when the rot had well and truly set in beating liverpool at anfield and still being s*** and getting relegated, it happens. (also you'll find chelsea are in terrible run of form). just trying to take the rose coloured specs off, i think we'd have stopped up but you are deluding yourself if you think we werent in a relegation fight. You've taken the rose tinted specs off a put blinkers on. You're not looking at the bigger picture.

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-1336637/Newcastle-line-Alan-Pardew-replace-Chris-Hughton.html?ito=feeds-newsxml Look at that picture of Nolan, Barton and Harper man. Is that Nolan's van? They look like a trio of builders not multi millionaires. As for the actual article. Let's hope this isn't true.

Something changed? Prior to the West Brom game we had just drawn with Chelsea. madras stop coming out with this crap you're embarrassing yourself. You look like a WUM but I think you're just misguided.

Four points of sixth with half our first team out, don't you mean?

thought it was always understood that xisco, though welcomed by keegan and shown round a bit by him ,wasn't a keegan signing. That's what I mean. Llambias later said it was Keegan's. i gave up trying to work out who's was who's when bassong was blamed on wise till he came good then he was keegans. That was straight from the horses' mouth.

I take back what I said about Bird before, what a crap article. The board wants someone who is more than a coach? Didn't Keegan get told off for this? And the board are now crediting themselves with the Ben Arfa/Tiote signings, remember Keegan getting blamed for Xisco after he left?

Even though he succeeded in his first managerial job by achieving all objectives? i.e. winning the Championship, achieving survival (was doing this) How do you know how good a coach he was? All I know is that he is a damn good manager. You're completely wrong IMO.

Cardiff and Swansea might get promoted Dave so wouldn't count on that.

or i've correctly remembered the start of last season. the players played for him because they liked him, i also still remember nolan calling for a sub for tactical reasons and it was done minutes later. You haven't correctly remembered the start of the season at all and as I said, completely underestimated the influence of the manager in football. You've trotted out the same cliches that the Hughton haters used. Claiming we had the best squad in the division blah blah blah. Football isn't won on paper and most fans appreciate this. i said at the time we had the strongets squad, backed it at the bookies and won handsomely. football isn't won on paper, what does this mean ? surely you look at othet teams an assess them accordingly. You don't know what 'football isn't won on paper' means? Regardless of whether we had the best squad, Hughton still had to manage us out of the division and he did so with flying colours. We didn't have the third worst squad the division when we went down did we? But as I say, football isn't won in paper. had to manage us out the decision yet we were screaming at him to drop alan smith cos he was playing s***. He did didn't he? 4, 5 month later ? While comfortably top, so what's your point? Take a look at our benches from last season up until January to find out why he played Smith. I hate Smith but f***ing hell, talk about twisting facts. "Fergie won the title with John O'Shea at left back, the useless c***" twisting facts....i was calling for smith to be dropped all season, many thought so too and in nolan, guthrie, barton.....smith came 4th. or does it mean he got everything right because we won the league ? Who said he got everything right or i've correctly remembered the start of last season. the players played for him because they liked him, i also still remember nolan calling for a sub for tactical reasons and it was done minutes later.

Once all four were fit Smith was fourth choice. What point are you making?

He did manage us out of the division and he did drop Smith. Then, once he was given adequate funds he signed a replacement who is ten times the player Smith is. It's also interesting you point out that Smith was s*** because apparently our squad was so good we would've coasted the league with or without Hughton. Personally, I don't think you've made a very compelling argument and just seem to be attention seeking or something by discrediting Hughton's achievements at time like this.

madras you couldn't be more wrong and have seemingly underestimated the influence of the manager

http://twitter.com/SunSteveBrenner Who is this mackem bastard? See he lives in Newcastle though, twat.

Alan Davies more like. Alan Pardew more like.

What was the line? We feel we need a manager with more experience? Of what, getting relegated?

Newcastle aren't a big club and we only get 50k because there's nothing to do in Newcastle.

Surely this would only make sense if he's been appointed?
