Ally Posted January 1, 2014 Share Posted January 1, 2014 I wish he'd come out like Martinez has, and just say he's not for sale even for silly money. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 1, 2014 Share Posted January 1, 2014 Why would he do that after the Carroll thing, when he knows if someone does offer big money, he'll be sold? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Incognito Posted January 1, 2014 Share Posted January 1, 2014 What it does is encourage other clubs to make bids thus unsettling the player. No need at all. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skirge Posted January 1, 2014 Share Posted January 1, 2014 So what, it's better than this defeatist tripe. Yeah.. that is much better, clubs know it will take big money to get him and Pards is just reiterating that fact. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unbelievable Posted January 1, 2014 Share Posted January 1, 2014 Such a tiresome debate. I have no doubt part of Pardew's renumeration is based on profit on player sales amongst other things (as Golfmag has said from day one), so it's no surprise he keeps coming out with comments like these, which although factually correct (as we all know) are completely unnecessary and counter productive to what should be his primary aim: assembling a squad of players as good as it possibly can be and having them perform as well as they possibly can.

Many managers get a percentage of any player sales if there is a certain amount of profit involved. I remember listening to a phone-in on Radio Newcastle the week before KK resigned in 1997 and a caller asked John Anderson and the programme host whether it was true that KK got a percentage of the fee for one of our promising players who had been recently sold ; the 2 programme hosts were VERY reluctant to affirm this and tried to get around the question by saying that it was KK's private business...the caller stated, correctly in my view, that if the sale of players was forming part of a manager's income, then he, as a supporter who was paying towards the club's income, had every right to know whether this was a fact or not. He further stated that he had it in good authority that Brian Clough had a similar agreement written into his contracts at his various clubs. I don't for a minute think that KK would have sold a player unless he thought the player was not going to break into the team, but then he was getting well paid by NUFC at the time ; we don't know if Pardew is being well paid by PL standards but we suspect not, so there may be a temptation to sell players if the sale would add to his income significantly. I guess we'll never really know, so you have to make your own judgement on it all. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cajun Posted January 1, 2014 Share Posted January 1, 2014 Humour me for a second and go along with my thinking he doesn't just randomly blurt this stuff out like he has player sales tourettes what should his answer be? No comment - which is only going to fuel further speculation. He isn't for sale at any price - We know he is lying so what is the point in him saying it? It would be as patronising as half the other bollocks he comes out with. He will be a Newcastle player until someone meets our asking price - I can see why some see this as touting the player but at least he isn't just blatantly lying to us (in this instance). Everyone knows Ashley will sell if he gets an acceptable offer for a player, this was shown when Carroll went to Liverpool. It isn't some inside secret between The club and the fans.

oldtype Posted January 1, 2014 Share Posted January 1, 2014 As if what Pardew says would affect other clubs' decisions to make bids in any way. "It's a new Pardew sound bite about Cabaye! Quick, ready the chopper!'" Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess we'll never really know, so you have to make your own judgement on it all. Let's say he really gets "a lot" (considering his actuall monthly salary, which is as you said probably quite low) even then - would you sell your best player? I wouldn't. Better live without whatever money he actually gets from transfer profits and still be manager of NUFC than getting that added money and might get sacked during summer (we don't know how close he actually really was to getting sacked in summer 2013) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest BenArfa10 Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 Probably nothing serious then, just a one-gamer. I've been thinking that our season was going to hit the buffers since Coloccini's injury so am very wary of any injury to key players. We really do need to keep the core of the team fit.
