Minhosa Posted July 16, 2011 Share Posted July 16, 2011 He's simply the spiv of the owner and always will be. Probably not a bad bloke and would be decent company over a pint or two but he's definitely 'one of them'. Really dubious as to how and why he got the job, his intentions, his orders and ideas for moving this club forward. I honestly think he's been given the job of overseeing the pruning of the wage bill whilst raising as much cash as possible in the process. Cutting costs (ie the wage bill) and maximise the income. I've become very cynical under these cunts. Good post. In total agreement with that. I'll never warm to the cunt after the manner of his appointment, he's lied from day one and is absolutely 'one of them'. He's been incentivised to lower the wage bill without a doubt.

Guest Posted July 16, 2011 Share Posted July 16, 2011 Sounds like he tried 4-2-3-1 last night, will be interesting to see if this is the new way of playing that he was mentioning and that we'll try this in the U.S too or whether it was just an experiment. All being well we should see Krul Simp Colo Tayl Jose Cabaye Tiote Marveux HBA Jonas Ba v Arsenal I think we'll still see Barton where Marveaux is there, and have no problem with that.

Ishmael Posted July 16, 2011 Share Posted July 16, 2011 It's becoming as clear as day, for me, that Pardew is just another one of the COCKNEY MAFIA . I don't particularly like the term but it's the only one to use so you know what i'm talking about. Looking into his more recent batches of quotes, it's obvious that he's reading from the same hymn-book as Ashley and Llambias. I don't know what their affiliations are away from football, but there must be some sort of previous relationship there and they've offered him a big break cos they 'trust' him. Had me choking on my toast. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're a striker away from a very good season imo. Yes and thats the crux of the matter a damn good front man or rely on Ba or another to fill in depending on formation ,my guess depending on the opposition one up front for away games and 2 @ home but all depends on the opposition as we have more flair in midfield hopefully for more goals.

Disco Posted July 16, 2011 Share Posted July 16, 2011 I'd still like to see us play 2 up top at home. The vast majority of our big wins & decent performances came with this formation. Might as well have a go at home as with the crowd behind the team and playing in an in your face style we can beat anyone at home IMO. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might as well have a go at home as with the crowd behind the team and playing in an in your face style we can beat anyone at home IMO. I'm inclined to agree - in the build up to this season, playing two strikers up front seems to have been very much overlooked so far. Maybe because our midfield is now burgeoning with creativity (with the return of HBA and the arrival of Cabaye/Marveaux) and our options up top look unsatisfactory, but in terms of the shape of the team - I don't think the personnel of the squad should dictate the make-up of our first eleven. Obviously we don't know how everyone will gel, but I'd be inclined to start the season like this: Barton Tiote Cabaye Jonas Ba/Best HBA* (With HBA as an out and out striker, not playing off Ba/Best, or in the hole). Subs: Marveaux, Ameobis, Ferguson... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Antec Posted July 16, 2011 Share Posted July 16, 2011 Lua Lua gone, another two knackered already http://www.shieldsgazette.com/sport/football/newcastle-united/black-white/magpies_hit_by_duo_s_injuries_1_3585342 Magpies hit by duo’s injuries INJURY ... Newcastle youngster Shane Ferguson. Published on Saturday 16 July 2011 12:00 ALAN Pardew fears Shane Ferguson and Danny Guthrie are out of Newcastle United’s tour of the United States. The pair picked up injuries in last night’s 2-0 win over Darlington at the Northern Echo Arena. Guthrie hobbled off early in the game after suffering an ankle problem, and Ferguson didn’t appear for the second half after picking up a leg injury. And Pardew admitted Ferguson and Guthrie are likely to miss the three-game tour in an early blow. “It looks like we’ve lost Danny Guthrie and Fergie,” Pardew told the Gazette. “We really needed those two in the group. That cuts our numbers down – I don’t think they’ll make it.” Pardew is already without Joey Barton and Nile Ranger, whose applications for work visa were turned down by the United States Embassy in London. And winger Kazenga LuaLua today joined Brighton and Hove Albion on loan until December 31. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest TheSummerOf69 Posted July 16, 2011 Share Posted July 16, 2011 He'll probably go 4-2-3-1 for Arsenal and the Mackems, even if he does look to 4-4-2 for later home games. Unless we sign a top class forward. He might start with Jonas if Marveux ain't fit, but he'll probably look to his signing as his first choice...

I don't know what their affiliations are away from football, but there must be some sort of previous relationship there and they've offered him a big break cos they 'trust' him. Fortunately, i think he's a reasonable manager with enough of the club/supporters' best interests at heart. Probably his own reputation too, which is equally as important. And seeing as the ownership will find reason to rock the boat for any 'genuine' appointment they make, Pardew + Ashley/Llambias is probably the most suitable formula at the moment. I think Pardew will be here for as long as they are. Providing we're, at the very least, clear of relegation and just ticking along, the guys at the top won't find a reason to sack him. The near future is so up in the air. I honestly can't predict what's going to happen next season, or the ones after. Given the blatant void of any ambition whatsoever (and by that i mean the reluctance to spend), i think it's most likely that we'll only make it back into Europe more by chance and graft, than through genuine planning. Fairly sure the Cockney Mafia's blueprint is to decorate the club as an attractive proposition financially, and footballing success won't depend on that. But i don't mind Pardew.

Guest TheSummerOf69 Posted July 18, 2011 Share Posted July 18, 2011 There were rumours that he got the job so that he could pay back gambling debts to his employers (probably based on people not being able to find another reason for jettisoning a successful and popular manager for a failure from the 3rd division).

AyeDubbleYoo Posted July 18, 2011 Share Posted July 18, 2011 He was hardly going to say "yes, I've been angling after Chris Hughton's job for weeks". Anyway, surely the club is wise to line up a replacement for Hughton if they know they're going to sack him - would be much worse to fire him and not have any idea who would be coming in.
