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.

Obviously giving the report some sort of credence - those sort of remarks in articles seem to turn out to be essentially true more often than not with our club - but I think we've got a higher squad IQ than most (and a more courageous one too), and given the nature of the team ethos I think they're interested enough to be following/digging up this kinds of crap themselves. Hope I'm not wrong about them, anyway. Half the mantra under Hughton was about taking responsibility, not just letting shit wash over you. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

toontownman Posted December 10, 2010 Share Posted December 10, 2010 Like to think they will play out of their skin for Hughton on Saturday...celebrating by revealing pro hughton messages. If we score I would expect the players to go straight to the fans and run past the dug out blanking the coaching staff. They should certainly be fired up for Saturday. Could certainly go one way or another. Past this weekend though is anybody's guess. They dont have much choice but to give him a chance, if he is any good I am sure they will take to him, but if he is every bit the cunt he appears to be the half arsed performances will be obvious.

Lambias: Uh, earth to Brint, I was making a joke. Brint: Uh, Earth to Lambias, duh, okay I knew that! Lambias: Uh earth to Brint, I'm not so sure you did cuz you were all 'well I'm sure he's heard of public relations' like you DIDN'T know it was a joke! Brint: I knew it was a joke Lambias, I just didn't get it right away! Lambias: Earth to Brint... Pardew and Ashley: Would you guys stop it already?
