Can you imagine the conversation, Ashley on the blower to Kinnear sounding him out about De Boer. Faaack off Mike, he never played 400 games for the biggest club in the world.
When the bar turns yellow on SSN at around 1pm tomorrow "newcastle release statement saying Alan Pardew is fucking shit, but he's staying" honestly I shudder to think what this place will be like.
When everyone in the ground plus millions at home know exactly what he's going to do next - shift the ball onto his left and go for the bye line, it's no wonder premier league full backs have him sussed.
The opposite it seems - so far

Sunderland fans arrive to the quietest welcome i have ever witnessed in a derby
Great news, though I reckon the result will decide which way the visit goes.
To be honest I think it would only take one big team to withdraw to start an unstopable shitstorm. And I know england haven't won anything in 50 years but they're still a huge team as far as sponsors and fans are concerned.
