Beren Posted August 18, 2011 Share Posted August 18, 2011 Wish we could just keep a manager for more than five minutes. Who can really say, with any authority, he's still going to be here at Xmas? http://img59.imageshack.us/img59/1633/seasons.gif Eventually we're going to be changing managers every bloody week. Weren't we 9th when Hughton got the boot? Edit: Ah, these are league finishes. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TherealnorthernTOON Posted August 18, 2011 Share Posted August 18, 2011 I for one think we are in a transition period. We will finish mid table this season aswell. Maybe next too, then we might push for the higher ends. We will get more talented players. Some of our more talented players will leave for CL chasing clubs during this period, thats a part of the plan to raise the funds needed to make a push. A push for a top side costs sustainable amount of dosh theese days. If we aren't a well run club to start with we have no chance to get up there without going into bankruptcy if we fail. A part of the plan should be, if things fail, we won't die as a club like leeds. But with the kind of base allready here the club should be able to push higher and fall back on the loyalty of the fans if it fails to do so. And then again raise the funds over a couple of years and get rid of the players who failed the push. Do it over and over again you will end up like tottenham. All their players got decent wages, modric was on what? less then 50k? I so bet we bid alot more then that for him during the shepherd time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

quayside Posted August 18, 2011 Share Posted August 18, 2011 Be a cold f***ing day in hell before I think myself lucky that this shithead is manager of Newcastle. Name an available and willing alternative, shithead or not, and there could be a discussion. He's alright for now imo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sad but true; there is no decent manager alive that would even consider working under Ashley and Llambias. Or dead, either. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But its far from certain thats what Ashley is doing - he may want to run a Premier League side as cheaply as possible - survival every year as the aim. If selling our best players is the plan then we will never not be 'in a transistion period'. In fact I can barely remember the last time we werent 'in transition', although you could also call it shambling from one crisis to the next, which is what selling our best players every year will amount to.

Guest BooBoo Posted August 18, 2011 Share Posted August 18, 2011 Jesus Christ. We KNOW for a fact that Ashley employed Pardew with the remit of reducing costs and debt thus making the club more viable to sell. There is no plan in place, no long term strategy. The idea is to sell off the big wage earners and replace them with cheap imports who commnad lower wages. If they succeed on the pitch then they can be sold off for profit. If they fail, the financial punch doesn't bruise much. Its a huge gamble that this strategy will keep the club in the PL as the players and fans become more disillusioned as blue chip players are sold off to be replaced by unproven players or nobody. The circle will continue until a buyer shows his hand and the Ashley nightmare will be at an end. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest sicko2ndbest Posted August 18, 2011 Share Posted August 18, 2011 Newcastle's manager rejected suggestions that Mike Ashley, the club's owner, was dragging his transfer market heels. "I think he's very much aware of our needs," Pardew said. "I don't think I need to nudge Mike any more – I've nudged him enough!" Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
