There are very few people i'd take Pardew's word over, but Ranger is definitely one of them.

Some of the replies

You can so imagine him saying it though.

Giving out new contracts to players who aren't good enough to be regular starters isn't good news, and he's definitely in that group. Same with the new deal Ritchie got (despite his strong end to the season) and the rumours of Carroll getting another year. Hardly fills you with hope for the summer recruitment if even the fringe players are staying.

Just so he could then check on here and see how people have managed to make it "good takeover news" I imagine.

Would you take guardiola if he was available in 12 months time?

Maybe he's banned from twitter and so has nowt to post here any more?

We'll never beat that deal we gave Curtis Good only to never play him.

I really don't get how it could ever be a "stipulation" of the deal. Ryder.

Keith and Liam I think.

"I'm hearing"

Yeah, this. There's actually something worth discussing tonight for a change. Mind the only reason it's being linked to the takeover is because the over positive brigade led by the likes of kennedy insisted Benitez getting another job would be bad news. Now that looks like happening they are doing a massive rewrite.

Phew. Thanks.

Getting a bit wound up now is Liam. Another one who doesn't understand what the 360 account is.

There'll now be the footballing equivalent of "no, no, death can be a good card" when reading Tarot cards from Kennedy. He has painted himself into a corner. Benitez was always going to take a job that came up which he fancied.

I've already got..... actually doesn't matter. Source for that was the same person who told me the takeover was ready to be announced way back, so he's redeemed himself.

What do I win?

Even if he'd just won it?
