Benwell Lad Posted February 28, 2011 Share Posted February 28, 2011 Surprised how level headed, intelligent and humourous this thread is. Would have thought a couple of anti-Anti Ashley words from our erstwhile messiah would have been enough to bring on a post-Carroll type meltdown.

Tooj Posted February 28, 2011 Share Posted February 28, 2011 Sounds like he only sold Milner on the premiss that he already had a replacement lined up. I'm sure that replacement wasn't supposed to be Nacho Gonzalez mind. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tooj Posted February 28, 2011 Share Posted February 28, 2011 In Keegan's position, would you have worked for the club under the same circumstances? I'm not a manager, so who cares. But I hoped he would have felt compelled to put the club first if that's what he really felt. Perhaps he though the lies and contempt shown to us fans by our wonderful owner and his cronies needed to be exposed? Is that not putting the good of the club first?

Tooj Posted February 28, 2011 Share Posted February 28, 2011 http://www.newcastle-online.org/nufcforum/index.php/topic,64823.0.html Just incase anybody out there needs reminding. 5.2 The Club admitted to the Tribunal that it repeatedly and intentionally misled the press, public and the fans of Newcastle United.

Dave Posted February 28, 2011 Share Posted February 28, 2011 FWIW Keegan's comments are that he chuckled at the notion that Pardew will get his hands on the brass. Probably more referring to the control over that spending than anything else. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't blame him for taking the job. It was a "Here's a big contract and the chance to manage Newcastle United again" - I wouldn't blame anyone for saying yes, that's where my stance with Pardew came from. I blame Ashley for even contemplating it - it never ends the way that you want it to, it's way too fairytale. The same crash-and-burn will happen with Dalglish at Liverpool, I'd put my life savings on it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure that replacement wasn't supposed to be Nacho Gonzalez mind. We bought Colo, Gutierrez, Bassong and Xisco that season as well if I'm not mistaken. We did spend money but it was put in the wrong hands with Dennis Wise. That relationship was the big downfall IMO. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

DoF scenarios are actually good in theory, they just don't work when you have a runt like Wise pulling the strings above a head-strong character like Keegan. Obviously Keegan is still bitter about the way things went and he obvious as close hand experience to what it is like working with people like Ashley and Llambias. I just hope (and think) that the current set up will function better with transfers. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Posted February 28, 2011 Share Posted February 28, 2011 I do wonder what Pardew's contract contains with regard to his influence on transfers and the ability of the board to bring someone in above him should they wish. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Venkman Posted February 28, 2011 Share Posted February 28, 2011 I do wonder what Pardew's contract contains with regard to his influence on transfers and the ability of the board to bring someone in above him should they wish. IMO that would be covered in the 'you pick the team and thats it' clause of the contract. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

GM Posted February 28, 2011 Share Posted February 28, 2011 He sounds embittered, his view on things is hardly likely to be impartial, is it? Whoever claimed it was? It's an opinion, albeit one that is more informed than most as he actually worked under them. Nothing more, nothing less. Yeah, that's kinda my whole point. His opinion, as you so rightly point out, is formed by close interaction with them, working under them so he's hardly likely to be objective. Because of that, his opinion on whether Pardew will or won't see a penny of the Carroll money, was only ever going to be going in one direction.
