ujpest doza Posted July 25, 2011 Share Posted July 25, 2011 Lose at Sunderland and Pardew will be on the ropes. It's a long way back from any defeat to that mob. That's ridiculous. There's no way one defeat - to whoever it is - will put him on the ropes. You think if we beat Arsenal 2-1 then lose to Sunderland 3-0 that Pardew will be on the ropes? Ridiculous. Beating Sunderland is better than beating any other team but you still get only 3 points at the end of the day, so a loss isn't the end of the world. If we lose 3 zip to Sunderland his position is untenable man. It doesn't bear thinking about. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkie Posted July 25, 2011 Share Posted July 25, 2011 He'll be on the ropes but fan pressure won't have any effect on whether he stays or goes. So long as we're atleast safe, Ashley won't chuck him. Like he gives a shit about the Wear-Tyne derby ffs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taylor Swift Posted July 25, 2011 Share Posted July 25, 2011 On the ropes according to who? The fans? None of us will actually make the decision. Remember the goal is to just finish in the top 10. We'll do that pretty easily. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronaldo Posted July 25, 2011 Share Posted July 25, 2011 An injury to Demba Ba and we most certainly won't do that, or anything like that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SUPERTOON Posted July 25, 2011 Share Posted July 25, 2011 RE: This new youth policy - besides Mehdi - where are the new players? Pretty much ever signing we are trying to make? Plus the not offering long contract to players over 28? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveMc Posted July 26, 2011 Share Posted July 26, 2011 RE: This new youth policy - besides Mehdi - where are the new players? It isn't new is it? See all the signings madee to the development squad over the last 3-4 years and the age profile of our first team signings (with the odd exception) over the last couple.

Dave Posted July 26, 2011 Share Posted July 26, 2011 And rightly so. Even though I strongly disagreed with his appointment and haven't seen much improvement so far, unless we're in deep trouble he has to be given this upcoming season before being judged fairly.

oldtype Posted July 26, 2011 Share Posted July 26, 2011 There seems to be so much less emphasis on the manager and so much more on the board these days anyway... On an emotional level it barely seems to matter whether it's Pardew or some other non-entity in the manager spot. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colocho Posted July 26, 2011 Share Posted July 26, 2011 He's the perfect man for the job (in the board's eyes). I can't think of many managers who would work under our current owners, and on that basis alone, I see no reason for him not to remain here for the next five years.

Most clubs in the league don't have the money coming in that we do to be able to mitigate against it happening. Exactly. For a club of our size and income we sail too close to the wind. We're two suspensions or injuries away from a defensive crisis. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BottledDog Posted July 26, 2011 Share Posted July 26, 2011 “On behalf of everyone at Newcastle United, we were horrified to hear of the tragedy in Norway and the senseless loss of innocent life. “Our thoughts go out to the families and friends of all the victims, especially to those of Tore Eikeland who we know was a huge supporter of Newcastle United and a keen contributor to a Norwegian NUFC fans website. “The players, coaching staff and everyone associated with the club send our heartfelt condolences to the Eikeland family and all those who lost a loved one that day.” Read More As well all do.
