JH Posted December 9, 2010 Share Posted December 9, 2010 FINALLY! Pardew Appointed Manager http://www.nufc.co.uk/javaImages/a0/41/0,,10278~9257376,00.jpg (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." http://www.nufc.co.uk/articles/20101209/pardew-appointed-manager_2281670_2240106 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flip Posted December 9, 2010 Share Posted December 9, 2010 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.

BlueStar Posted December 9, 2010 Share Posted December 9, 2010 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. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
