Yorkie Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 Honestly. If you'd told me immediately after Arsenal that, in a month's time - I'd be concerned that Llambias resigned and relieved Pardew was staying... What the fuck is going on? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheHoob Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 Maybe Ashley didn't want to take footballing decisions himself? If he was relying on what Llambias was telling him and Llambias had Pardews back it would perhaps explain some of the baffling goings on? Probably clutching at straws here Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JH Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 All seemed pretty believable until "Mike was seemingly furious with last season and the way all his hard work to get the Geordies back onside". Don't believe he's ever tried to do that like. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't believe he's ever tried to do that like. I must say, I too raised an eyebrow at that. If he was angry at not keeping the fanbase onside, what on earth did he think appointing Kinnear to this role was going to do? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JH Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 I was thinking more about his actions as well. - Having the stadium as the Sports Direct Arena - Announcing a deal with Wonga - Plastering SJP with his cheap nasty logos - Not buying anyone in the Summer and this was him trying to get us onside?!

KaKa Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 If Ashley massively respects Carr & Carr disagrees with Pardew, why does he need Kinnear to act as mediator? If you trust Carrs opinion you back him. How can Kinnear act as advisor to who is right, unless Ashley thinks his ability to judge a player is just as good as or better than Carr's? Story makes no sense. Don't think Ashley is as involved day to day to make the call. Llambias was always on Pardew's side, and so he's replaced him with someone who isn't. If anything this move is a vote of confidence for Carr. Pardew was already moaning about getting older English players, and Llambias was probably looking to be in his corner on that shit. Carr was probably like nah son, and we all know Mike Ashley has never been about that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well if you believe that story, Ashley will take the hit on appointing Kinnear now. And hope it works getting everyone back onside. Theories abound at the moment.

Carr was probably like nah son, and we all know Mike Ashley has never been about that. Sure, but a vote of confidence for Carr is you just trust Carr. You dont put your faith in Llambias or Kinnear reporting it back to you without bias. They're still biased by their own stupidity, though atleast Kinnear has some actual connection to football.

Stuy_O Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 I don't have much confidence that if / when Pardew leaves we'll install a better manager, imo it's nailed on Kinnear will take the job. The part about Ashley wanting to give his chum a job or second chance may be correct, but I think it runs deeper than that. He wants the ultimate yes man, someone who has not one issue with the way the club is ran. Pardew has gone along so far but he has clearly been unhappy with some of it, and likely it's all culminated in this meeting a few weeks ago. So Ashley isn't really left with a long list of candidates. Who would want to work under such methods and bow down to everything Ashley says or does? Well you're looking at Joe Kinnear and maybe Dennis Wise. If they do go way back as people say, then that's maybe why he's here. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

David28 Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 Was quite shocked when I first read it. Even more so after he got a 'new' position after Kinnear's arrival. This won't be the last surprise over this summer, for sure. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sifu Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 Can't say I'm particularly arsed that he's gone. He's really not done anything of note apart from lying to/slagging off the fans (the "you don't know how terrible we can be" line). Always seemed to be a cunt. But having said that, we're now left with only Kinnear at the helm... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's crazier is we should have expected it, this club has always been the epitome of an insane asylum. It was too quiet far too long and now we are back to being the clowns of the circus.

Hughesy Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 Why is Ashley mates with kinnear anyway? Is there actually any proof of this friendship? Apart from the whole 'giving a job to a clueless dinosaur' bit... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
