Just had a look at the training photos with PB. Not so much as a f***ing smile in sight.

 

Actually, Best was smiling in one photo, probably knowing he'll get a game due to certain southampton connections anarl

 

noticed that as well, but that isn't a shocker really, quite normal tbh.

Just lost their coach

 

Well obviously you're right. I'm stupid :p

(just for Skirge)

 

Newcastle United are delighted to confirm the appointment of Alan Pardew as the club's new manager.

 

Alan, formerly manager at Reading, West Ham, Charlton and Southampton, has signed a five-and-a-half year contract at St. James' Park.

 

Speaking about his new role, Alan said:

 

"I am honoured and privileged to have been given this opportunity at Newcastle United, one of the truly great clubs in English football.

 

"I understand what this club means to its supporters. Throughout the football world people recognise that this is a unique club in many ways, with supporters who are second to none in their loyalty, passion and devotion for the team.

 

"I'm not a Geordie of course, but I'm a football person with a love of the game and I can assure you I bring great drive, desire and commitment to the job.

 

"Chris Hughton did a great job last season, guiding the club back to the Premier League, and he continued that good work this season. It is my aim to build on that now and take this club forward.

 

"I have always managed teams that have played attacking positive football, something I know the supporters here appreciate. At the same time I intend to focus on developing exciting young players through the club's excellent Academy and development squad, and I know the board here at St. James' Park are very committed to that too.

 

"I can't wait to get started and what better way to kick-off than welcoming Liverpool to St. James' Park on Saturday."

I feel no excitement at all. Pardew is a big reason why fans favorite Hughton was sacked.

 

This.

 

The man has no self-respect ffs. Who would talk about a job when someone else is in charge, thats shit ffs.

We're on a time limit here. If we don't run him out of town while the rage is still fresh, before the apathy sets in, then we really will end up with him for years. Oh well, at least he might give us a canny paint trophy run.

 

Also bear in mind, seeing as how no-one believes he'll complete the deal, that resigning in terror means no pay out.

Just back in and quite amazed at the contract length - If you ever thought Ashley didn't have a clue - this is the absolute proof.

 

Just speechless.
