Guest neesy111 Posted October 16, 2014 Share Posted October 16, 2014 Despite Ashley’s southern roots (he was born and raised in the Buckinghamshire town of Burnham), he developed an affection with the North East after he bought the club in May 2007. Contrary to popular belief he admires the locals’ work ethic and is upset Newcastle supporters have mounted demonstrations against his leadership at various times over the years. :lol: Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
r0cafella Posted October 16, 2014 Share Posted October 16, 2014 A pr shift on to Ashley is an interesting development. I wonder if pards time is coming to an end Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
loki679 Posted October 16, 2014 Share Posted October 16, 2014 Ashley is in a position right now where he could turn things around and get the fans back on side and it wouldn't cost him a penny. Sack Pardew with NUFC paying the compensation and invest the profits the club are making back into the team and I think a lot of the fanbase would get off his back. If we had a decent manager and were seeing £30m a year being invested into the team the relationship would repair itself in short order imo. Just depends if he's arsed enough to do it.

Guest chopey Posted October 17, 2014 Share Posted October 17, 2014 Everybody in the world has an ego and everybody likes it massaged, the problem is that Ashley would rather have his massaged by the blokes in the city than an adoring Geordie public. he would rather be remembered as the only bloke that made money out of of football club than the bloke that tried to win something. it looks like his formula of buying big clubs in decline and milking as much as he can from the thousands of loyal fans is a winning one.

Dr Venkman Posted October 17, 2014 Share Posted October 17, 2014 I genuinely think that with a half decent manager, the players that we've had through the door, regardless of the cost, should have had us pushing top 6. For this reason I'm much more of a mind for wanting Pardew out than Ashley tbh, and if any of you recall my posts you'd know I know my stuff when it comes to the snake that is Mike Ashley, inc. the article I wrote for themag.co.uk. Need to really focus in on a single target and I think Pardew is more culpable than Ashley at the present moment in time. This is NEVER a top six team. Top half at a (very hard) push. One striker, one centre half barely worth the name, no creative midfielder. Yeah, you need to consider the players the manager has moved on due to his own incompetence as well though.

Yeah, he loves us! :lol: Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skeletor Posted October 17, 2014 Share Posted October 17, 2014 Impressive outright propaganda there. And yet more stuff the masses will lap up willingly. Sad part is that it wouldn't take all that much to get the fans off his back by making some tweaks to his policies. Invest a little more money in the squad, hire a real manager, actually get some advertisement money from reputable companies and stop doing insane things. Instead he just does this PR bullshit. You'd think a billionaire football club owner would want to be liked since he has nothing else to worry about. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest dazzanufc1892 Posted October 17, 2014 Share Posted October 17, 2014 Look at southampton,player of the month,manager of the month they havnt crumbled to s*** selling some of their best players!cant he see that,get rid of pardew get someone like frank de boer in! 1 win in 15 league games f*** me what's the matter with him why would somebody like frank de boer even take this job? its a terrible job. A manager, much like young players will only use this job as a stepping stone. We have said as a club, we do not see winning a trophy as an objective. No manager in his right mind would take this job unless they are a failing manager with A) little ambition or B) desperate and unable to get anything else. You can't keep your best players, you can't try to win a cup competition and you have to state the company propaganda to the exact word. To top it all off, you have to cover for the guys behind the scenes and endure all of the issues as your own. Its a thankless task that no reasonable manager would take. If pardew goes, people are insane to think that somebody of a high calibre would come in. It would be the next guy who can keep a team in the prem and would be thankful to be given this job. Makaay, Pulis, Bruce are the main candidates for this type of role. I wouldn't even be surprised to see us go for somebody like Jol who would be seen to be a forward thinking appointment, but who in truth isn't going to get another decent job in the prem and would accept what he is told.

The College Dropout Posted October 17, 2014 Share Posted October 17, 2014 Moyes - the man who used to get something like £4m a year at Everton - would replace the 500k Alan Pardew? Just don't see it. Then you think - is he going to take all the grief Pardew gets without attacking the board? Nee chance. Run properly - it makes sense but it just won't happen.
