Geordie Ahmed Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 Has done well so far - barring the FA Cup match we won the games we were expected to and could easily have gotten something against Citeh and more against the Mackems and Spurs Though he still talks some shite - his comment after the game that "we had a lot of squad players in the team today", did we?? I think not Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stu Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 Won't come far with Ashley i the Casino playing away almost a million £ just for laughs instead of bringing money into the transfer window. WTF? he took NUFC money into the casino and wasted it?! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disco Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 I heard Andy Carroll was there and at one point Ashley asked him to get him the table as he wanted to use him as a bet as he'd no money left in his carrier bag. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
merlin Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 I won't make a proper judgment on Pardew until I see the type of players he signs in summer. So far, you can't really say he's done anything drastically wrong apart from using Tiote at Stevenage and some other of his selections in that game. He is willing to make substitutions far more readily than Hughton did and results have been OK bearing in mind the loss of key players. Not thinking about Hughton - he's gone, he did a decent job in difficult circumstances but we have to get on with it now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think not Guthrie, Best, Williamson, Perch, Lovenkrands all featured. And I'm sure he considers Williamson a squad player, because he seems to like Saylor Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ToonTastic Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 Yep, him and Pardew Lol you sound like the press. It's Ashleys money he can do what he wants with it it's not nufc's money so he hasn't spent the clubs money. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 IMO there was no 'honeymoon period' for Pardew at all. It would have been silly to expect a boost in results purely from a new manager coming in, if the players really loved the old one as much as everyone thinks.

Guest Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 Seems more keen than any of our past managers to send the kids out on loan which is good. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dokko Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 Seems more keen than any of our past managers to send the kids out on loan which is good. Thankfully its finally happening, god knows how many careers we've interrupted hanging on to kids not giving them game experience. Also feel 100% more confidence in winning our home games under Pardew than Hughton. Still feel like he'll get no real money off Ashley any time soon though, and that was my hope for the change being made. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest sicko2ndbest Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 I am pleased with his abilities on the pitch This transfer business and his comments are getting a bit tiresome.

Guest BooBoo Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 Tend to agree that a better judgement can be made on Tuesday. A failure to bring in anyone would be a black mark against him considering what he's said all month. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest BooBoo Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 If he brings nothing in, who do you really think failed, because it ain't him. I would be annoyed as he's spent all month telling us how confident he was of bringing new players in. Of course it's not him negotiating but it is him communicating with the fans and all month we've heard positive noises about incoming transfers.

TRon Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 Although no one has actually been signed yet I am encouraged by the type of players he seems to be looking at. Ireland is a flair player and Pardew has done his bit to get HBA signed up permanently. We have a hard working honest squad at the moment, Pardew has to use a limited budget to improve the quality which will go a long way to giving him some real credibility.

Guest BooBoo Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 That can't be ruled out. I stupidly thought that as Pards was the first manager who Ashley et al seemed to support, I thought this would be reflected in the transfer market. So far, that doesn't seem to be the case.

timeEd32 Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 I'll be disappointed if we don't get anyone in - a loan at the very least would be nice - but I'll reserve judgment on Pardew in the transfer market and Ashley's backing of his man until the summer.

Guest sicko2ndbest Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 'When you look at it only Manchester City and Aston Villa have spent more this window, with many clubs using the loan market' Referring to HBA capture I can hear him saying it now Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest BooBoo Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 HBA was a great long term capture but in the short term he's as much use as a chocolate fireguard. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
