Alan Pardew

[Stu]

Seriously an appointment that actually makes hiring Souness look like a good decision.

 

 

Jesus fucking christ, this has to be the singlemost idiotic post ever made in the history of N-O.

 

Even if Ashley did something utterly retarded (what, again?) and appointed Gordon Brown as the manager of the cub, it could never make the Souness appointment look like a good decsion.

I like Ray Wilkins but he would just be another nice guy to be shit on by Ashley.

 

But cheap at the going rate like Kinnear and Hughton. Let's not forget why those two got appointed in the first place.

[quayside]

To be honest Pardew's first season in the top flight with Wham was pretty impressive. Harewood even looked world class. My Wham supporting mate was waxing lyrical about "Pards".

 

Yup that seems about right - a lot of West Ham fans reckon Pardew was a good manager. Good with the media and sets up sides for decent attacking football seem to be popular compliments. But is he better than Hughton? The real issue here is that a lot of us think Hughton did a very good job in difficult circumstances. And if you are going to rip the club apart why do it unless you are putting in something or someone who is obviously better?

[Foluwashola]

It will certainly make less sense than the appointment of Souness.

[toontownman]

Worst run of games in 70 years for West Ham right?

 

He has done nothing bar getting West Ham to the FA Cup Final.

 

Described by the BBC as a "dangerous and distant animal"  (I quite like that tbh)

 

I feel lucky once again to be in Canada not in Newcastle, I feel for you all. At least the ribbing and depression is less outside my house.

Pardew for five years, what have we done to deserve that!

[WarrenBartonCentrePartin]

Hughton in suit = sharp as fuck

 

Pardew in tracksuit = 40 something unemployed man that buys booze from the offy for underage kids when not in Ladbrokes waiting for them to weigh in at Newton Abbot.

This bit doesn't make any sense

 

If there is opposition from some fans or players to someone such as Alan Pardew becoming boss - and some discontent is already evident - it might be tempered by the knowledge that he will be there for some time.

No, not really, Pardew will never acheive half of what Souness has. Be aware Souness was one of the worst appointments I have witnessed. Pardew would be worse IMO.

5 years???  lets pray to god its not going to be Pardew,  just him coming in would be a nightmare but coming in on a 5 yr contract would be the craziest decision in the clubs history.

If that's true, then it's definitely going to be a 'yes man' who comes in. No self-respecting coach will come and work with butttons and be expected to produce a miracle.

[Dokko]

5 years of Pardew, reckon I'd only serve 8 for killing Ashley. 

[WarrenBartonCentrePartin]

utterly stupid considering we all know now that Alan Pardew, if appointed, will not last 5 years in the job.

And a cheap one at that.

[Frazzle]

I take back what I said about Bird before, what a crap article.

 

The board wants someone who is more than a coach?  Didn't Keegan get told off for this? 

 

And the board are now crediting themselves with the Ben Arfa/Tiote signings, remember Keegan getting blamed for Xisco after he left?

:lol:

[Guest taps01]

what i would give for pardew to come out and say he is not interested in managing Newcastle, or that he hasnt been approached.

thought it was always understood that xisco, though welcomed by keegan and shown round a bit by him ,wasn't a keegan signing.

[Big Geordie]

Also I wonder if 5 years will be time enough for him to claw back the cash from the club, that I believe he wants?

[toontownman]

Article is complete tripe. He would never hand out such a long term contract after the past couple of years. His decisions involving money arent as stupid as his footballing ones.

 

Have to be a pretty big, reliable name to be handing out that kind of backing.

honestly can't see how he's going to get it.

[BlueStar]

Newcastle having the same manager for 5 years We went through 5 in our last prem season, give them a 5 day contract and see if they manage that first.

Never say never with our current owner - Anything is possible.

Easy - TV Money, Merchandising, Season Ticket Sales, etc. As long as the cash keeps rolling in (and we stay in the PL), he can take it out when he likes.
