DJ_NUFC Posted October 4, 2014 Share Posted October 4, 2014 Junkhead, thanks for sharing that, and for your restraint and courage. If this is where Ashley is, not even considering sacking Pardew despite the whole world asking him to do so, acting like he's hearing some preposterous notion for the very first time, I'm done watching games from now on. I was gonna catch the Swansea game tomorrow in the hope that we lose and he finally goes, but it seems this regime does not let you entertain any hope whatsoever.

Unbelievable Posted October 4, 2014 Share Posted October 4, 2014 It was Llambias who spoke though and isn't he Pardew's mate? Yep. Although it doesn't bode well that Llambias apperently still speaks for Ashley/the club? Did Ashley even utter a word himself junkie? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nepharite Posted October 4, 2014 Share Posted October 4, 2014 4-0 thumping today just ramps up the pressure. Pardcunt is a physical and mental wreck. Ashley isn't gonna like being approached every week, no matter how cordially. It might still be a while yet... But it's coming! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
junkhead Posted October 4, 2014 Share Posted October 4, 2014 Yep, that was the whole conversation really. Ashley's only interraction was to nod with a serious face when I said "you've signed some great players", as if to say "that's right". Wouldn't read much into Llambias' words. It was just a gentle way to tell me to fuck off but I still can't understand his initial reaction - "Sack him??" He really sounded like that's completely out of question, like they're not the people who can sack Alan Pardew. (which Llambias isn't tbf). Still can't believe I saw them like. They were both standing casually at the corner of a pub each with an empty pint in their hand. As I was leaving they were joined by a couple of other men who I recognise from seeing them in the Directors box alongside Ashley in matches. I wish I reacted in a different way. Shouldn't have said anything to my wife when I saw them and just should've bought a couple of beers and stand next to them to listen what they talk about..

Andymc1 Posted October 4, 2014 Share Posted October 4, 2014 What pub was it? He was in the Golden Lion last week - if it was there again I might have a week in London and just hope he pops in. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tachikoma Posted October 4, 2014 Share Posted October 4, 2014 It was Llambias who spoke though and isn't he Pardew's mate? Ugh, I wonder if Llambias is the reason Pardew is still here. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darth Crooks Posted October 4, 2014 Share Posted October 4, 2014 I'd have volleyed him in the bollocks and stunnered llambias; then processing to crack some stone cold steveweisers together on top of the bar. Y'know play it cool like. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest firetotheworks Posted October 4, 2014 Share Posted October 4, 2014 I saw Ashley and Llambias infront of a pub in Soho tonight. Wasn't very polite to start talking to them as I was passing by but I had to do it. I simply told Ashley "You have to sack Alan Pardew. This ain't football. You know it, you watch the matches.". Ashley kinda took a step back and remained silent while Llambias reacted with a high pitched "Sack him?? What do you mean??" Like I made the most outlandish suggestion.. I was very nervous but I had to continue "the conversation" so I said something like "I appreciate everything you've done for the club /I don't/, you've brought some great players.." to which Ashley nodded, probably relieved that I won't attack him or something. I continued with "but Pardew ruins them. How could he get rid of a genius like Ben Arfa?" and LLambias interrupted me, patting me on the shoulder "It's only been a few games lad. Keep the faith. It's a long season.." To which I mumbled "Aye, it's been three very long seasons. Sorry to interupt you guys" and I left. Should've tried to get something more of them. But I got a bit starstruck and my wife was pulling me the whole time. She knows how much I shout at the TV, she was afraid I might do some stupid s***. Not that I can take much from this little encounter but I'm afraid Ashley doesn't even consider sacking Pardew. Worth quoting to keep on this page. Well handled in the circumstances junkhead. Definitely the right way to go about it as well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

DOF with the power to sack Pardew and choose the replacement. It's perfect Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jackie Broon Posted October 4, 2014 Share Posted October 4, 2014 Very old news, but I noticed that Tony Jimenez now occasionally writes for the Huffington Post. In his bio it says: "His strong relationships within the UAE - built up over the past 22 years - have been responsible for a number of leading Arab investors making significant investments in Europe. As Vice Chairman of Newcastle United Football Club, Tony was instrumental in negotiations to sell the club to the Dubai government. While the deal was not finalised due to the club owner changing his mind, Tony was nonetheless indispensable when it came to introducing potential buyers and leading negotiations." So it seems like Jimenez was actually working with, or maybe for, DIC to oversee the sale to them, which Ashley eventually backed out of. Not really relevant to anything now but it's not something I've seen talked about on here before and it's an interesting insight into what was going on behind the scenes when Keegan quit. I was aware of this at the time - Ashley went to a casino in Dubai instead of keeping the appointment with the Emiratis...they bought Man C instead....... No surprise that he has doubled his stake in Rangers - all he needs is them to be back in the SPL and it will all be going to his plan... The stuff about Ashley's trip to Dubai was widely reported at the time (btw, the Man City owners are from Abu Dhabi and bought Man City two weeks before Ashley went to Dubai). What I didn't know is that Jiminez may have been the Dubai group's man rather than Ashley's. Which, if that was the case, seems like a bit of a potential conflict of interests given that the Dubai group would have obviously wanted to get the club for as little as possible.

toon25 Posted October 4, 2014 Share Posted October 4, 2014 He's taking the utter piss out if us by keeping Pardew in the job. No other explanation. Our football, our results, and our record in this calendar year alone speaks for itself. Would he tolerate such piss poor performance in his businesses?

ExiledGeordie Posted October 5, 2014 Share Posted October 5, 2014 People should be supporting Rangers this season. There's only one automatic promotion place back to the prem and if they can get that then in my opinion the chances of him leaving goes up massively. Unfortunately Rangers are a bit off the pace at the moment behind Hearts. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Optimistic Nut Posted October 5, 2014 Share Posted October 5, 2014 Or if they don't go up, he might be able to get them a bit cheaper and sack McCoist, taking Pardew up there with him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
