It feels like I have been going out with a beautiful girl, everything seems to be going perfectly, we had many exciting plans for the future but now she has just dumped me out of the blue and we will never see each other again :( :lol:

 

Its more like getting her kit off and discovering sausage and beans tbh

Not really, having gone out with a girl over an extended period of time and then having your heart ripped out would be a worse feeling than what would most probably be relief over not having to see that shemale again.

This actually reads like they have spoken to someone at the club rather than just making crap up.  It's as if ok you have given us a bone we will not crucify you in the article so you might give us another one.

 

Reading through, that article makes a surprising amount of sense

It does like, puts a different slant on things somewhat.

 

Significantly, having looked back on that relegation season, Ashley and Llambias felt they had dwelled too long before appointing Alan Shearer. They gave Hughton too long on that occasion as a caretaker manager and did not leave Shearer enough games to turn things around. They did not want to make the same mistake twice.

 

There were also serious question marks surrounding Hughton’s transfer judgement. The two high profile summer signings were brought to the club by chief scout Graham Carr, not Hughton, and there was a feeling he lacked knowledge and was indecisive in this crucial area.

 

Interestingly, although he later claimed credit, Hughton - who had very little money to work with - was denying the pursuit of Hatem Ben Arfa in the summer even while the club were negotiating a fee.

 

Hughton was never really forgiven for his decision to sign Leon Best last January and James Perch in the summer and this was held against him until the day he left. His replacement, according to the people who will appoint him, will be far better suited to player recruitment and that is what they want moving forward.

Even so, two bad signings is hardly a sackable offence, every manager signs duds.

 

If they think they dwelled too long before appointing Shearer, and that's why we went down, all that proves is that they don't know what they're talking about.

 

It's making out as if he knew nothing about Ben Arfa really which is pretty fucking strange considering what the lad was saying about Chris Hughton while still at Marseille.

All of that makes a decent degree of sense until you realize that the replacement is Alan Pardew.

 

Unless Carr can find another 6 or 7 Tiote's or Ben Arfa's making the manager slightly less crucial

They did the same with Keegan and Bassong.

Aye it is just all backstabbing propaganda from what I can see. You would have to be pretty fickle to believe it. Unfortunately a lot of football fans are.

That's the long and the short of it.

 

Reading it I could almost hear Llambias' voice as he dictated the story to the "journalist". Very poor form...

Former Newcastle chairman Freddy Shepherd insists Mike Ashley was right to sack Chris Hughton - and he would have done the same

 

Former Newcastle chairman Freddy Shepherd believes Mike Ashley did the right thing by sacking Chris Hughton because he’s ‘too nice’.

 

The man who showed Sir Bobby Robson the door at St James’ Park joked: ‘I may be the last guy to tell anyone how to run as football club.’

 

But as Newcastle prepare to unveil Alan Pardew as Hughton’s successor Shepherd said: ‘No one should be surprised. The signs were there, no contract, no transfer funds and no replacement for assistant Colin Calderwood. I’m surprised anyone is surprised. The writing was on the wall.

 

‘Remember, nice guys don’t win.'

 

Shepherd added: ‘If I had been Mike Ashley I’d have been worried as well. I like Chris Hughton, he’s a great guy, in fact I’ve not met anyone as decent as him but it was heading one way in my opinion.

 

'A lot of people won’t agree with me but I think he’s done the right thing. I would have done the same.’

 

But Shepherd is uncertain whether Pardew is the right man to succeed Hughton. He said: ‘I tried to get Martin Jol when he was at Tottenham and Martin O’Neill but unfortunately neither could come. One of those two guys would really have sent a message. I don’t know Alan Pardew at all so I can’t comment on him.

 

‘The fans can have a huge influence and do put pressure on you. We saw that with Sam Allardyce and Kevin Keegan, they were out with their banners and what have you.

 

'I was there for 15 years so I know what it’s like. I’m a Geordie so they maybe gave me one per cent over what they give Ashley but they do put pressure on you.

 

‘Ashley’s not Mr Popular, he’d put his hands up and say that. He went about things wrongly from the start, why he got rid of Sam I don’t know, he should have kept him.

 

'Where Chris is concerned, he’s a decent guy, too nice a guy and that was his downfall but I bet he gets another job straight away.’

 

It is believed that Pardew will be unveiled by the weekend, with the former West Ham boss being the top choice of Ashley and managing director Derek Llambias.

 

Defender Jose Enrique says it will be a joke if Hughton's replacement is not a big name.

 

He said: 'The fans are not happy, the players are not happy. We were all happy with Chris.

 

'If they are going to fire someone as good as Chris, they have to then bring in a big name, someone who has won trophies.

 

'And that doesn't mean he will necessarily be better. If they just being in someone similar, it's a joke.'
