timnufc22 Posted December 8, 2010 Share Posted December 8, 2010 Its a yes man he wants. Hasnt someone said Pardew is freinds with Llambias? It would make sense. It blatently looks to me that he wants someone who will not protest at potential player sales, minimum transfer money and team interference. Hughton wasnt sacked based on the football, but that he would have been banging on Ashleys door asking for more financial support, and would have protested at player sales, and they want the cosy Joe Kinnear type scenario back.

Guest WashyGeordie Posted December 8, 2010 Share Posted December 8, 2010 http://www.mirrorfootball.co.uk/news/Alan-Pardew-believes-he-is-front-runner-to-be-Newcastle-boss-as-the-Geordies-prepare-to-hand-their-latest-manager-a-long-term-deal-article646989.html Alan Pardew believes he is front-runner to be Newcastle boss - as the Geordies prepare to hand their latest manager a “long term” deal. Owner Mike Ashley wants his new boss to buy into his vision for the club, including working on a tight transfer budget and buying young stars. Former West Ham and Southampton chief Pardew, who is currently in Germany on a coaching course, has told friends he is ready to step into the St James' Park hot-seat. Martin Jol, who quit as Ajax chief on Monday, hours after Hughton’s exit, surprised Newcastle with his sudden availability but ruled himself out yesterday because of his friendship with Hughton, who was his No2 at Spurs. Alan Curbishley also indicated yesterday that he was not interested in the job, and Alan Shearer has said he is definitely not a candidate. Newcastle want a boss in place by Friday, in time for the clash with Liverpool at the weekend, and have already spoken to their “leading candidate” to pave the way. Further talks are planned for today. Ashley and MD Derek Llambias removed Hughton because they regarded him as a good coach, but not a figurehead boss who could lead the club long term. Having made the decisive but controversial move of dumping Hughton, Ashley is ready to pledge to put the club on a stable footing for years to come by announcing improved financial results soon. Pardew had three years as West Ham boss, failed to make a huge impact at Charlton and was sacked by Southampton in August amid rumours of low morale among staff and players.

Willow Posted December 8, 2010 Share Posted December 8, 2010 If Pardew gets it and he walks out into the pitch in his 1st match, I can imagine a huge amount of Boos aimed at him and ashley. It'll be a total farce.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SEMTEX Posted December 8, 2010 Share Posted December 8, 2010 I wish I could put into words how much rage this affair is causing. I'm pathetic enough to have been forgiving Mike after the last year and a half, never again. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pedro111 Posted December 8, 2010 Share Posted December 8, 2010 If Pardew gets it I'm seriously going to have to think about whether or not I go back there this season. I can't take much more of this shit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ketsbaia Posted December 8, 2010 Share Posted December 8, 2010 Despite what I said earlier, I am slightly curious about going to the Liverpool match, just to contribute to the clouds of hatred. Basically, it'll be an 'interesting' atmosphere. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wallace Posted December 8, 2010 Share Posted December 8, 2010 I cannot imagine why anyone would want to play or work for this club - it sounds so joyless. I often hear how the normal staff are very unhappy with the atmosphere around the place. I guess the players can cocoon themselves against it but unless they have an affinity with the club, why would anyone sign for us other than as a stepping stone to another club. At least the players felt they had Hughton on their side and who put them first before himself - the way this appointment is looking, you cannot imagine they are going to have much trust in the new manager whoever he is.

Interpolic Posted December 8, 2010 Share Posted December 8, 2010 Despite the performance at West Brom, at the weekend I was confident that we'd stay up. Now I think it'll be touch and go whether we get relegated or not. I can't get this spiteful sabotage theory out of my head now. Is there a precedent for this? Where an owner has fucked over a club out of spite rather than incompetence? I just can't come to terms with this shit tbh. The possibility of Jol coming calmed me down a bit yesterday, but I'm fuming again. There was just no need for this man. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronaldo Posted December 8, 2010 Share Posted December 8, 2010 That the appointment will meet with an at best lukewarm reception from supporters who are still coming to terms with the shock departure of the popular Hughton is something of an under-statement. Did someone from here write that? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

gazza ladra Posted December 8, 2010 Share Posted December 8, 2010 This is so fucking weird. I had just got to the point where I knew the club was moving in the right direction. Even though they lost to West Brom and looked so poor-- I never for a moment doubted that they would turn it around the next weekend and press forward. For the first time this season, I fear relegation. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
