Klaus Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 Fairly sure most of the crowd had turned against Pardew in the end like. The pressure was clearly getting to him with headbutt gate and tear gate. Of course there will always be the supafans that would turn up to watch the grass grow.

The pressure was clearly getting to him with headbutt gate and tear gate. Of course there will always be the supafans that would turn up to watch the grass grow. Not really the odd boo at half time and full time and the odd chant but not a concerted effort game after game as it would have been a few years ago. You're right about the superfan but unfortunately that is the majority now who love their social standing going to the match brings. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
geordie jamie Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 I don't understand why the crowd haven't turned on him yet. Just as bad as pardew and carver. Did the crowd really turn against those two apart from the odd occasion - no. Unfortunately you have a new age of fan who goes to the match mainly as a social outing. In the past all 3 and Ashley would have been hounded by the support instead now you have half arsed one off attempts which are not even supported by the vast majority. I know people won't agree and I accept that as each to their own but in my opinion every supporter who attends St James Park is supporting the regime and is not supporting the club. How any fan can attend and stay silent whilst the club is being ripped apart at an alarming rate I just can't understand. Support the team not the regime I hear sorry but bollocks as you are supporting the regime every time you pay your money to go into the devil's den. I wouldn't miss for nothing at one time and was a season ticket holder for over 40 years since I was a bairn but you couldn't pay me to attend with these cretins in charge who repeat the same relegation battle year after a year as a perverse gamble - this is not the club I love it's a club possessed. All 3 managers at any other club would have been sacked months (in Pardew's case years) before they finally left. What's the odds on this club getting relgated and McClaren still being in charge? I agree I think the fans should stay away bit if you do turn up give the regime hell Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wallace Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 I'm all for a bit more loyalty in football but not to the point where we got to with Pardew and now Schteeve. Bit of a contradiction to what happened with Hughton who was sacked for a lot less than any of those two clowns have made us endure. Hughton was sacked for siding with the players in a bonus dispute. Football didn't even enter the equation, just as it never does with our managerial appointments and departures. He was probably also very cheap to sack.

mrmojorisin75 Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 There's not a scrap of evidence to suggest they'll bin him. People seem to have completely forgotten about how they stuck by Pardew and had absolutely no plans to replace him, including not having any sort of contingency in place when he decided to leave. And even then, they left the caretaker in charge for over half the season. They think they know better than everyone else. It's as simple as that. I don't think they'll bin him either, but I don't think it can be compared to pardew. I think they clung on to pardews early days here when results went well, something mcclaren hasn't had. McClaren has spent the majority of the season in the bottom 3 after they've spent £80m. And Moyes is free (!) and available right now, Moyes who Ashley has allegedly went for before. He'd be my guess if a move were to be made. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashley17 Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 I very much doubt they'll sack him as Ashley seems to be very tolerant of shit managers, but if they did I reckon he'd appoint someone like Harry Redknapp until the end of the season just to try and get us to safety. I'm not sure many decent managers would touch us with 12 games to go in the bottom 3...or in general to be honest. Redkanpp seems like the jobs for the boys type Ashley would go for - was it ever proven that he was offered the job in 2007/8 after Allardyce left and before Keegan was appointed?

Yorkie Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 Even in that parallel universe where we'd consider sacking McClaren, Redknapp wouldn't move north. Especially without a transfer window to waste money in. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrmojorisin75 Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 still a bit of hope yet lads, i'd imagine the ashley timeline goes something like: sat - lose heavily to chelsea, out on the piss with pards sun - wake up for a good old fashioned british fry up then down the dog and duck for an all day sesh with joe to shake off last night mon - feel like fucking shit, don't like what i'm reading in the monday papers about the match tue - sound out moyes/rodgers/whoever wed - have meeting, give them the weekend to consider derisory offer to take over ... mon - hungover as fuck, get a text from little mike they've knocked the offer back tue - pie and a pint wed - reamed 3-0 by stoke thur/fri - no panic, little mike says we'll win our home games and stay up sat - lose 0-2 to bournemouth at home ... mon - offer moyes/rodgers/whoever anything they fucking like to take over and save us from relegation EDIT: i've missed a week out there i think nevermind, so will mike Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nufcjb Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 Yep, you've missed a whole week there. It's 18 days gap not the usual 7-10. Sticking with my gut feeling that Ashley will do something against the odds and sack McClaren out of pure desperation not to miss that new Tv money. However, I feel the sacking won't be now but after another 3 straight defeats after the break and before the derby. By then, it might already be too late though.

Wallace Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 I'm genuinely surprised he's not received any stick from the stands. Strange given I think that if sufficient pressure were to be placed on him he'd f*** off. I guess this is the reason why. From NUFC.com The lack of rage directed towards McClaren is a sign of fans becoming resigned to their fate, mirroring the indifference of many players. Repeat watching of this dross does eventually break your spirit. Genuine anger at our plight isn't to be found in the stands, with tickets taken by stoics, pisspots and lunatics. Ranting malcontents have stood aside, to be replaced by increasing numbers of young lads, daft enough to turn out at this time for those prices.

nufcjb Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 Came across at least 1 report today of him potentially getting the sack. Need the media to start realising the money he has spent and use it against him. Atleast Carver has said it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 Even in that parallel universe where we'd consider sacking McClaren, Redknapp wouldn't move north. Especially without a transfer window to waste money in. I reckon he'd take a couple of million to keep us up on a 3 month deal like. I think he'd keep us up too. Wouldn't want him permanently but I think he'd get us playing again and if that rebuilds some confidence in the squad until someone like Moyes/Rodgers fancies it in the summer, then I'd be all for it.

Lush Vlad Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 He's gone full blown Pardew. Front foot football, only to then get shat on from a great height and get battered 5-1. Constantly without a gameplan when we play away from home, never look like creating, yet we look like conceding every time the opposition attack us. I wonder if he'll mention 'letting our hair down', before we play Stoke He's an absolute joke of a manager. He looks completely lost and confused stood on the sideline. He seems to have had a bit more input with the transfers and we've spent a lot by our standards. Yet we're still stuck with Colo the Clown and an overweight Steven Taylor, as our centre backs. Plus a right back that doesn't like defending and a reserve team left winger, playing at left back. Great work, Sctheve. You ham faced prick. I see Ryder has been quick to crush any rumours of McClaren getting the sack. He just loves to crush our hopes, doesn't he? Obligatory mention - nothing changes until Ashley goes. He'll always just appoint no mark, shithosue managers, straight off the scrapheap. Until we actually get someone in, that has any kind of ability and isn't just another dinosaur, British manager. Then we'll always be in a relegation scrap. Ashley has had the chance to make a statement in the past and go out and sign a big name. Yet he has always settled for a cheap yes man.

Tsunami Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 He should have been sacked as soon as he put out that team sheet, well, perhaps sectioned would have been a better option. He's watched us all season away from home, he must know where the problems are (Jan window suggests perhaps not), he must know that Chelsea are in a bit of form and yet he still played Aarons at LB and picked Gini. He's then sent them to play a bit of football, not be a compact unit and be completely open against their runners. Colback for Aarons and Saivet for Gini with tight lines between front and back had to be the way to go. I put the rugby after their 3rd goal and was surprised that they only scored 5.

Darth Crooks Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 I'd question how much say he's had like. We've bought British because that was the main criticism rather than its necessarily what mclaren wanted - which he likely did, but had little influence. That aside he's pretty shit.

Lush Vlad Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 Well it might just have been in a move to seem like we were committed to him. But he is on the board, along with Charnley, Carr and Moncur. I would have thought he had more say than Pardew. Plus, IMO, our squad is far better than last season. Yet we're just as shit, if not worse. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darth Crooks Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 The board is a sham. It's all posturing and gesturing in the same way that we were changing the stadium name for show casing purposes. I trust nothing they do and getting some old duffer who's sold out and the head coach on it doesn't convince me any different. The only ones we truly know have any say are Mike and little Mike.
