For once we have the tactical manager we need at this club to make things atleast look better then shit. And I wouldn't by far want him to go. Actually quite satisfied with Pardew controlling the team, Carr finding the players. It has worked quite well in my opinion. Would like to test it for 2-3 more years. If the club then is stable economically and still standing at the same point with better/same crew. Then try something new. Not now, I don't dare think of whom he would hire to be his puppet next...

The guys above are making him look like an incompetent idiot, he must be seriously frustrated.  His credibility in the game is taking a bit of a beating.  Plus The fact that there has been no word from the club yet about the transfer window being dissapointing suggests there is a bit of unrest behind the scenes.

 

bit worried now.

Pretty confident Pardew's staying. Maybe a few angry exchanges between himself and Ashley/Llambias but that would be it imo....

I doubt that the benefits to Sports Direct are that massive, and the effect on their profits will be smaller still. It's good advertising for them of course, but it's just a small part of their promotional campaigns.

 

It's certainly not worth paying £200m for.

 

I think it's actually pretty significant. That Newcastle united sign is very very prominent, I'm amazed he's resisted this long. Along with of course the Gallowgate end sign and the "official" name of the ground and every interview conducted at SJP has SD logo in the shot. He's getting a lot for free. DHL sponsor manure training kit for 42million ffs, not saying we are as good an advertising vehicle as they are but you would be amazed at the global exposure the PL offers, I don't believe clubs maximise it to it's fullest extent tbh.

 

Sports Direct has a small-to-non-existent footprint outside the UK so I can't see him gaining anywhere near what an international brand like DHL would.

 

Unsure how significant the benefits in the domestic market would be, but probably nowhere near large enough to make it so that he's actually turning a profit on the club.

A statement from Newcastle United Managing Director Derek Llambias

 

Now that the transfer window has closed, we have had some time to reflect on the business we have conducted over the summer.

 

Our aim was to secure young players who represented value for money and could add real strength to the squad. The majority of our transfer dealings were completed in the early part of the window and we feel we have signed some players of exceptional quality. Yohan Cabaye, Sylvain Marveaux, Mehdi Abeid, Demba Ba and Gabriel Obertan were all brought in early and we have seen these players settle quickly into the squad and perform well on the pitch.

 

Earlier this week we were delighted to sign Davide Santon from Inter Milan to fill our left-back position after the departure of Jose Enrique. Davide is an excellent young prospect and we're sure he'll be another superb addition to the squad. We also welcomed young goalkeeper Rob Elliot from Charlton Athletic who will help us retain healthy competition for that position after loaning out Fraser Forster to Celtic.

 

Of course we had also hoped to secure a further striker in the window, in addition to Demba Ba. Work to bring a striker into the club began early in the summer. Negotiations were complex and protracted and unfortunately it was disappointing that ultimately we could not secure our priority target.

 

Whilst we did turn our attention to alternative prospects in the latter stages of the window, we have a very clear transfer policy and will not make knee-jerk decisions at the last-minute which are not in the best interests of the club. We understand that supporters will feel frustrated that we did not sign another striker during the window, but it was not for lack of trying that we did not bring our final target in.
