RobS Posted March 7, 2016 Share Posted March 7, 2016 *sigh* sooner the club gets relegated, has no spine left and goes down into division 1 the better. Nothing will change till we have an owner who has the club's best interests at heart. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minhosa Posted March 7, 2016 Share Posted March 7, 2016 Luke Edwards @LukeEdwardsTele 3m3 minutes ago I don't want to spread panic but I've been told this morning that someone in a key position at SJP doesn't want to sack Steve McClaren #nufc I wonder who that could be... The only person with a 'key position' at NUFC is Ashley the rest are just the hired help. Charnley, Carr etc are about as important as the kids dishing out pies and pints every game.

nufcjb Posted March 7, 2016 Share Posted March 7, 2016 So SSN are saying McClaren was supposed to have the day off but will instead have to be in the board meeting? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

themanupstairs Posted March 7, 2016 Share Posted March 7, 2016 Thinking about how utterly farcical everything at NUFC seems to be, Alan Shearer's "let's move on, come on" comment at the end of his MOTD analysis sums it up perfectly. So fucking embarrassing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanji Posted March 7, 2016 Share Posted March 7, 2016 Get rid of McClaren and bring in a top guy and then clear everyone out after the season is up. Or not and fall into a black hole. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toonpack Posted March 7, 2016 Share Posted March 7, 2016 He's not being fired, it's taken too long, they'll be scrabbling around trying to find a reason they can use why he's staying. Not that there is any such justifiable reason. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kanji Posted March 7, 2016 Share Posted March 7, 2016 The only cause and acceptable reason for delay is were sacking him and have replaced him with X When X = Rafa Or something Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BONTEMPI Posted March 7, 2016 Share Posted March 7, 2016 It'll boil down to Charnley and Carr backing him up, so they can stay in their respective positions a little longer. They know if he goes they'll be for the chop. If Ashley wants to miss out on that money, then go ahead Mike, do fuck all. If it turns out he stays then anybody giving that shower of shite anymore money deserve what they get. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lush Vlad Posted March 7, 2016 Share Posted March 7, 2016 Got tickets for the derby. As I have only been to one game in the last couple of years and a mate really wanted to go. I'm also taking a friend from across the pond, to his first NUFC games. Palace at home and Villa away we'll probably be relegated by then If we keep McClaren. I'll find it extremely difficult to turn up for any of those matches. I've stayed away because of Pardew, Carver and Ashley. But I had missed SJP at times. In hindsight, I'm glad I stopped going. We're a complete shambles and it's not getting any better, any time soon. Joke of a club. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattoon Posted March 7, 2016 Share Posted March 7, 2016 I don't know why we do it to ourselves, the silence is a killer but no matter how many times in the past we've seen this silence turn into nothing but a head burying exercise we still get our hopes up something might actually happen this time. There's no point in trying to rationalise it, the rational is to bin him and move for someone as quick as we can, the reality is stick don't twist and hope for the best, every, fucking, time. They deserve the feeble and equally embarrassing swirl down the drain that's about to ensue, fuck the lot of them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

High Five o Posted March 7, 2016 Share Posted March 7, 2016 How many times did we feel this way with Pardew. String of bad results-->Like, surly he will be sacked now-->some days after the match with speculation-->Nothing happens. Repeat ad infinitum until Crystal Palace.

Wallace Posted March 7, 2016 Share Posted March 7, 2016 It's crazy how we sacked Hughton so quickly and for nothing but have let Pardew and McClaren get away with such sustained inept performances. He wasn't really - they had Pardew lined up for a couple of months and were waiting for an opportunity to sack him but he strung a few results together which delayed things.

String of bad results-->Like, surly he will be sacked now-->some days after the match with speculation-->Nothing happens. Repeat ad infinitum until Crystal Palace. Tbf, no matter how eye gougingly bad we were under Pardew, he never had us in this much trouble and you knew he'd have a win or two on the spin at some point. This is a whole other kettle of fish, who can tell where (if) the next win will come? With Carver it was a terrible judgement call and we were only 1 win from safety for half a fucking season, it's just that win came right at the death, by which time it was too late to replace the punched lasagne faced cunt anyway. You'd have hoped they'd have learnt from that but the only thing they probably took from that is if Carver can get a win at the death and save us then surely McClaren can and it'll all be good. Fucking imbaciles. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shays Given Tim Flowers Posted March 7, 2016 Share Posted March 7, 2016 From the BBC: 'Steve McClaren has spent £85m at Newcastle so far with a win rate of 21% - narrowly better than short-term bosses John Carver and Joe Kinnear.' EDIT: Steve Kean had a 22% win percentage at Blackburn. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mick Posted March 7, 2016 Share Posted March 7, 2016 The only glimmer of hope is that in the past they've been quick to put out statements. We could easily be saying nothing while looking for a replacement, no other reason would make sense. My guess is he'll only stay if they can't bring in who they want.
