LRD Posted October 26, 2014 Share Posted October 26, 2014 He's probably got a better contract than the manager in fairness and given he has no affiliation with the club historically I'm sure he doesn't give that much of a toss. As I've said before though I don't see him as a scout in the traditional sense, he hasn't unearthed any gems merely got us good deals that we probably shouldn't have been able to. He's a Newcastle fan and has threatened to walkout before over how P45 plays the players he finds. When did that happen? The only time there was any news of him close to walking was when we appointed Jokin' Here. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tsunami Posted October 26, 2014 Share Posted October 26, 2014 Our summer transfer business was shambolic. I don't really know who has the final say on who we actually sign (or is it a case of we sign the "best deal" on paper), but De Jong/ Janmaat aside we bought players who aren't yet equipped/ never will be equipped to play in the PL. We have ended up with players who can't play how Pardew likes to set up his team. The failure to secure a goal scorer was almost a sackable offence in itself. Something has to change and, on the basis that Pardew stays, Carr needs to start scouting better versions of Pardew type players than we currently have. The likes of Cabella haven't got a prayer under the clown we have as a manager. Listening to Pardew on his style of football and the reality makes you think he needs professional help.

Nothing will change unless we get relegated. Ashley doesn't like to think too much about anything as long as long as the books are looking healthy.

samag Posted April 26, 2015 Share Posted April 26, 2015 Does anyone else think , this man has got off lightly up till now. He must carry his share of the blame for his role. Lots of players not up to starch, plus he was part of the team that decided Carver should be given a chance as manager.... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hanshithispantz Posted April 26, 2015 Share Posted April 26, 2015 His reputation is inflated by Cabaye. He's overseen good signings on the whole, certainly more good than bad, but he isn't the wonder scout he first seemed, certainly better than the average jobber though.

BillClinton Posted April 26, 2015 Share Posted April 26, 2015 hasn't he (allegedly) recommended managers? Not his fault the club is cheap. We don't know how far down his lists we had to go to get Riviere and Gouffran, since we won't fork out decent money for anyone good. Most of the other signings are decent enough. However nobody associated with this mess is entirely blameless. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
