This article pretty much sums up how hideous our owner and Chairmen are in that they don't give a fuck about their customers. No other business could survive if they treated their core customers like shit. http://www.thenorthernecho.co.uk/sport/8730419.Absences_speak_louder_than_words_at_St_James_/

 

Thing is, no other business has customers that would accept it. People don't keep getting high interest mortgages from Abbey National just because they were brought up supporting them and hope to see them one day announce the biggest banking profits in Europe. They go to another bank that offers them something better.

 

We're football supporters, we can't exactly just go elsewhere, not unless you're that retard Lee Stewart - we are the club. Supporting something totally unrelated to us isn't an option. So the people running the business can do it as badly as they like and believe they can get away with it.

 

But as I've been saying all night, if we know what's good for our club, we can stop helping people who are hurting it, running it badly and giving us 'customers' bad service. Stick together, prove they need us for 12 months more we need them and we can make them go away and the business will eventually improve.

Newcastle stars in revolt

 

Published 23:01 09/12/10 By Simon Bird - Exclusive

 

Alan Pardew will have to see off a dressing room revolt when he takes his first training session as Newcastle manager.

 

Pardew has begged Newcastle's furious players not to "resent" him after the stars held a fiery showdown with MD Derek Llambias on Thursday morning.

 

In a nothing-off-limits, clear-the-air meeting, Llambias faced the wrath of senior stars who quizzed him on why Chris Hughton was fired and expressed bewilderment that he was replaced by a manager of Pardew's standing.

 

That confrontation turned into an open shouting match, which saw Llambias accused of appointing a 'casino crony' who will simply be a 'yes man'.

 

The row triggered a major damage limitation exercise by Pardew, who immediately held talks with skipper Kevin Nolan, and said: "It is obvious the players and the fans had a great amount of respect for Chris Hughton, and the fact he has gone has caused a stir.

 

"People are upset about it and the problem I've got initially is with the players and making sure I get my message across with clarity and quickly.

 

"I hope they don't carry any resentment towards me. I've contacted Kevin Nolan,and I will be speaking to all the players tomorrow [Friday]. It's been quite difficult.

 

"I can't think of a player in the group that I've managed before, so I'm going to be something of a mystery to them. I have to make sure the players understand I'm a fair manager.

 

"It's a tough challenge. I need to make sure there isn't a massive impact on the team. Obviously this week there has been an impact on them, and that is not good for any group of players. It's important I bring some stability back to the dressing room and calm their fears."

 

Pardew will hold a team meeting and training session on Friday morning and is also braced for fan protests against the turmoil caused this week before Saturday's home clash with Liverpool.

 

He added: "It is not something I want and I certainly hope it doesn't last too long. But if there is a protest for Chris in terms of a nice protest and fans wanting to show him their support then I don't have a problem with that. That is their right.

 

"But I hope that anything like that is over with quickly and they start supporting their team. I hope the protest is channeled into supporting the team. It is not about me after all, it is about the club. And we are going to need a lot of help to get past Liverpool who have just hit a bit for form."

 

Pardew signed a five-and-a-half year deal worth £450,000 a year, making him one of the lowest paid bosses in the top flight. However, there are big bonuses on offer for hitting targets including staying up and a wins target that, if passed, could earn him £1.5m.

 

MirrorSport can reveal that sacked boss Hughton picked up a pay-off of just £125,000 from Newcastle - half his annual salary and the equivalent of around two weeks' wages for the top earning players.

 

Cool.

Their cowardice is one of the many issues I have with Ashley and Llambias.  Their refusal to put their name to any statement or front up to the media is pathetic as is the way they leak stories to their mates in the press when they want to tarnish a manager (Keegan / Hughton / Shearer) or player (Milner / Taylor) and at the same time forbidding the other party to put their side out.  I wonder how much

Campbell and Enrique have been fined this week as I am sure they will have been.

Nice of him to let us away with that, eh?

Thought the casino remark was interesting, shows the players are savvy to the situation. Not surprised with ours, but generally with footballers you find they really are ignorant of reports of how stuff like this happens. Trust they aren't swallowing this three day appointment process bullshit.

Really not sure which way the players are going to go after all this. They will either play their hearts out for the fans and get the results to keep us up, or just play shit and lose games to stick it to Pardew and Ashley :undecided:

They're professionals and they will go out to win regardless, it's just that fourth and fifth "gear" that will be missing because they don't give a shit anymore and are probably almost as pissed off as we are with the whole scenario.

I doubt that part to be honest. I'm sure some players are unhappy (and they should be) but doubt any of our players are aware or have the courage to question the casino connection. Sounds to me like exaggerated shit stirring by journalist, just like the use of the word 'revolt'.
