We lost three good technical players. Fergie was a blow as I wanted to look at him at left-back and see if he could offer to cover for Jose Enrique or play there.” So they were hoping that Fergie would be Enrique's replacement after all. who would have predicted that?

Guest H09 Posted August 6, 2011 Share Posted August 6, 2011 They need to come out with figures, financial statements of why what is happening is happening. That way more people may accept it as having to be done. Fans can't accept some people with a history of lieing saying shite like "we've spent a lot, you'd be surprised" ... they need to fucken show us. They do not care for the supporters opinion so it wont happen, fans keep turning up so they don't care about building any bridges. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ujpest doza Posted August 6, 2011 Share Posted August 6, 2011 Him mentioning Coloccini is very significant IMO. Aye, means to me that Colocinni has got the players point across in private without fuss or the need to tell the world via twitter what the crack is.

Jack Flash Posted August 6, 2011 Share Posted August 6, 2011 Some interesting quotes from Pardew. Very honest, and good to hear the situation laid down clearly for people. "Clearly"? He has deflected every single question about finances since he told us the Carroll money would be re-invested in the team. As H09 says, we need the figures as things aren't adding up.

How are things not adding up if there are no figures? We've had the accounts recently and know roughly how much comes in/goes out. I'm not an expert on it but others who know more have said we could be breaking even this year and we still get the "we're so poor" act every window.

Some communication would be nice at this stage - difficult to disagree with that. Every time they communicate they antagonise the majority of fans - they're that fucking thick on the PR side of things that I'm happier when they shut the fuck up tbh. A perfect example is today's pre-season friendly which they could have used for some healthy PR and made the game really cheap and about getting as many people, particularly kids, through the door as possible. It rained anyway so probably best they didn't ( ), but yeah they're fucking thick and any communication that comes out sounds arsey and antagonistic and ungrateful and authoritarian, so I'm in no rush to hear any more from them.

Wallace Posted August 7, 2011 Share Posted August 7, 2011 Indeed - but we'll find out eventually is what I was trying to say. Some communication would be nice at this stage - difficult to disagree with that. Every time they communicate they antagonise the majority of fans - they're that f***ing thick on the PR side of things that I'm happier when they shut the f*** up tbh. A perfect example is today's pre-season friendly which they could have used for some healthy PR and made the game really cheap and about getting as many people, particularly kids, through the door as possible. It rained anyway so probably best they didn't ( ), but yeah they're f***ing thick and any communication that comes out sounds arsey and antagonistic and ungrateful and authoritarian, so I'm in no rush to hear any more from them. The trouble is they have lied so many times, how can we believe them if they start to communicate honestly. Mind you Llambias can never refuse the opportunity to criticise the fams whenever the chance arises - not so shy of putting his name to statements then.

Guest sicko2ndbest Posted August 7, 2011 Share Posted August 7, 2011 I quite like AP He is NUFC at the moment as noone else speaks. I think he should be congratulated for getting BA, cabaye and Marveux in. The manager would have had to have some influence on the players for them to join I personally am going to direct no anger towards him as he isn't working under the normal parameters managers have to work to.

Guest Wally_McFool Posted August 7, 2011 Share Posted August 7, 2011 He said: “I am not going to make any predictions about the new season until I see what players we get in. “I am fairly confident that we will get the players in that we need. I would like one or possibly two in before we play Arsenal. “The fans have had so many broken promises in the past not just from this ownership but way before that. That'll go down well with fatso!
