Why don't we all send him a letter telling him to fuck off and we dont want him.

 

I didn't think it would be him despite all the bollocks from the media but looks like I was wrong.

 

Aye, a really nasty letter is going to change his mind.

The club is a soulless wreck. I'm pinning hopes on the likes of Carroll, Nolan, Barton, Jose and Colo to at least show some professional pride and keep going. Whatever this shithead Pardew tells them as way of instructions will almost certainly be completely ignored.

 

In fact there's only Andy Carroll that I genuinely enthuse about when thinking about the club. A rare bright spark amongst a shit storm.

 

The day that this Ashley disease is finally cut away should be a city holiday.

Pardew 46%win record in his managerial career

 

Surprisingly high

 

And yet still less than Hughton

 

Largely influenced by his two successful periods of almost 300 games for Reading & Soton and another 150 or so in the Championship with West Ham & Charlton. He had one good season in the Premier League with WHU finishing 9th, the other 2 six month spells were a mess.

I do not recall such hostility from every quarter of the media not only for sacking Hughton but also the appointment of Pardew.  It is a good job he is supposed to be an arrogrant tosser and therefore I assume has the thick skin he is going to need in the next few months.

 

The upcoming fixtures are not kind for him either.

If he got 1000 letters he might.

I'm sure he'll read everyone of them personally, and give his PA the day off from filtering the death threats from the really important stuff.

I'm just angry in general about firing a decent manager to appoint someone who's not all that.

 

It's not really about Pardew, if he gets the job I hope he does well, although all signs suggest he won't.

Why don't we all send him a letter telling him to f*** off and we dont want him.

:lol:

 

Just imagining it now:

 

'Dear Mr Pardew

 

Fuck off.

 

Yours sincerely,

Newcastle-Online'

The supposed five year contract is the thing doing my head in. Which of our top players are going to stay knowing Ashley is apparently looking to stay that long (even if he isn't) with his new "vision", and Pardew his voice in the dressing room? Even if they wanted to stay there's going to be no protection when the bids come in. Already the word is we'll listen to offers for Carroll. Watching the whole squad disintegrate will be be a bit heartbreaking if I'm honest. No way can team spirit be maintained, a vital factor in football but seemingly not in Ashley's incentive driven businesses. The five year stuff also fits with the contracts offered to Williamson and Ranger, which no doubt would have been run by Pardew.

Honest question: Is Ashley aware of the extent of fan opposition to this appointment or does he genuinely take us for fuckwits likely to take whatever he puts in front of us?

 

 

It's difficult to say isn't it? He's got a unique combination of arrogance, pigheadedness and a lack of knowledge of the business he's in.

 

It could be that he believe's NUFC fans are dedicated enough to keep coming no matter what. Either that or gate receipts don't matter to him, and he simply doesn't care.

I love the archive footage SSN keep using of Alan Pardew sitting all happy in his home reading the papers.  :lol:

Honest answer: The latter.  And he's yet to be proven wrong on that front.  :sadnod:

If Ashley got Alan in on the joke and released him name for a laugh he has totally owned us like. 

 

Got to cling to some sort of home...

 

Is Ashley repossessing it like? Is there anything he won't do?

Can you think of anything he's done that shows he gives the slightest fuck about the fans? He does what he likes and makes his decisions in London nowhere near the fans, probably customers in his language.

TEAMtalk's Mark Holmes believes giving Alan Pardew the Newcastle job will be an even bigger mistake than getting rid of Chris Hughton.

 

Let's not beat around the bush, Mike Ashley is an idiot.

 

Almost everything he has done in charge at Newcastle has upset the fans and the one good decision he did make - appointing Chris Hughton as manager - was basically made for him because of Hughton's success as caretaker boss.

 

Newcastle got back to the Premier League in spite of Ashley rather than because of him and it was only a matter of time before the daft sod messed it all up.

 

And then came Monday and the announcement that the club had decided to sack Hughton in favour of a manager with "more experience". Mike, Mike, Mike, what have you done? Jon Holmes summed up perfectly what a terrible decision that was in his blog on Monday, but it looks like his next one might be even worse.

 

Nobody, and I do mean nobody, thought Ashley was right to sack Hughton, but the blow might have been softened had a genuine top-class replacement already been lined up.

 

And it looked for a day or two as though that might be the case. Martin O'Neill was the first to be made the bookies' favourite and it looked likely Martin Jol would be appointed when he quit his job at Ajax.

 

But this always happens at Newcastle and the fans must have seen it coming. Big, reputable managers are linked but one by one they rule themselves out of the running - Jol has apparently turned down the job due to Ashley's desire to cut costs - and it soon becomes clear they will end up with someone they don't want.

 

And that man is Alan Pardew, someone whose Premier League experience totals two seasons - one and a half with West Ham before he was sacked, and half a season with Charlton before they were relegated.

 

Pardew has enjoyed some success in the Football League, but he's not exactly a proven winner and the only thing he is proven to be is an arrogant, big-mouthed and egotistical. The main thing he has experience in is rocking the boat - and that's exactly what he'll do at Newcastle.

 

Hughton may not have much experience as a manager, but he had more class in his little toe than Pardew and that's something the Magpies have long neeed from a manager. They were finally started to be taken seriously as a respected Premier League outfit, with realistic ambitions and a likeable manager, but all of that good feeling towards them will soon be replaced by a united desire to see them fail.

 

Pardew will come out with a load of rubbish about Newcastle being a massive club that deserves better than mid-table, but all his big talk will count for nothing in the dressing room.

 

The players won't take to him the way they did Hughton and I'm convinced the team will soon start to slide towards the relegation zone. That's not to say Hughton would have kept Newcastle away from danger all season - they are, after all, a newly-promoted side - but at least he had the backing of a united squad.

 

That counts for a lot when you're battling for survival but Pardew will immediately find himself up against a wall, with a set of players still loyal to Hughton and a supporter base that is dead against him.

 

But his biggest problem is that he's got no chance of winning anyone over by being Ashley's yes man. Because let's not kid ourselves that Hughton was sacked because of a lack of experience; he was sacked because Ashley wants someone to ship out the top earners and save him some money.

 

The fool hasn't realised that doing that will probably get the club relegated and lose him a fortune but Ashley and Derek Llambias have been friends with Pardew for a while now - the three are said to have regularly met in a London casino - and they've clearly convinced themselves they can keep the club up on a shoestring.

 

Jon said in his blog on Monday that Ashley has cast himself in the role of Scrooge - and he'll be joined by a muppet before Christmas. Maybe only Carroll can save them?
