nufc4eva Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 but if we stay up I think we should give him the opportunity to build a squad Hi Mike, Dekka. Enjoy the game yesterday? (we're not getting relegated ) I mean the club and fans should give him a chance assuming he has a good finish to the season. We are not safe from the drop yet, hope the players aren't thinking that way Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

captainhaircut Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 I hope he's replaced at the end of the season. Yup me too. The first team is now superb. A top manager could seriously achieve something with those players. Under Pardew, you can't help but feel last season is the best we can do. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiresias Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 Yep, replaced by a solid manager with a good eye for tactics for once and this team could do great things. He won't be though Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Varadi Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 Really seems to have a spring back in his step - good to see. Love this quote from after the match: Moussa Sissoko had just made a sensational home debut for Newcastle United and Rafael Benítez faced sustained attack from cyber-space but, briefly, Jean-Paul Ndoumin assumed centre stage. After an afternoon spent in the home dressing room and dugout serving as the interpreter tasked with imparting Alan Pardew's message to his latest French influx, Ndoumin enthusiastically joined in an impromptu lap of honour at the final whistle. "When we ran through points I needed to make he was really good," said an amused Newcastle manager. "I think he's better than me; maybe I should retire. Afterwards he asked: 'Do you want me to do the post-match interviews?' and I said: 'No, that's my job.' "I did actually ask the French boys if he was taking the piss at times because I saw a couple of them laughing at his translations. I don't know if he's expressing a bit more than what I'm saying but it seems to be working. We like him." http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/2013/feb/03/newcastle-united-chelsea-premier-league?

Tiresias Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 Actually think having an interpreter who's really enthusiastic and feels part of the team is brilliant, i'd assumed previously they'd be fairly routine with it Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Decky Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 There's absolutely no chance of Pardew going in the summer because if he was going to be sacked for this season he'd have gone already. Hopefully he can replicate last season because I'd hate for us to have more mediocrity with this squad of players man. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ikon Posted February 4, 2013 Share Posted February 4, 2013 ALAN PARDEW described Newcastle United’s 3-2 win over Chelsea as his “best ever” as manager. The Magpies boss hailed the victory over the Blues as the greatest of his tenure as a manager. The win injected new life into Newcastle’s poor season so far and remarkably – in a season in which United were once staring into the abyss – just three points away from a top-10 slot. After seeing Moussa Sissoko’s second-half double floor the European champions, Pardew (pictuerd left) – also in charge of the 4-4 draw with Arsenal two years ago – told the Chronicle: “It was the best game I’ve ever seen as a manager. “Obviously, in the cup final we had the 3-3 against Liverpool in 2006. It was at that level, trust me. That was a real game of football. “The Chelsea team were determined to turn round the situation. It was their best team. Ivanovic was back in at right-back, John Terry in the team. “It took a real, proper performance from us to get a win against them.” United can add the Chelsea win to their list of top four scalps along with the first-day victory over Tottenham. And while Pardew endured defeat against runaway Manchester duo City and United, he reflected: “When you play the top teams, it’s very important to unsettle them, and we’ve done that. “Man United and Arsenal – we unsettled them. Unfortunately, we didn’t have enough power and pace in the team, and enough squad players to come on and see it through. “Today, we did. Even Marveaux’s 10-minute cameo, which was outstanding, gave us a lift. They’re the things we’ve missed this year – having players of that ability come off the bench.” Marveaux was back after a foot injury but, Jonas Gutierrez – who scored the opener – got the nod ahead of him. Pardew talked about making tough decisions before the game, adding: “Sylvain was very unlucky not to start, but I was glad I started with the team I did.” Read More http://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/newcastle-united/nufc-news/2013/02/04/pardew-chelsea-win-was-best-ever-as-a-manager-72703-32739867/#ixzz2JvObNVFA Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mole_Toonfan Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 "It's rare in football to have the position that I have had, and even with the results I had, the message from upstairs was that I was going to be retained as manager, which was a good feeling for me - perhaps not so much for our fans at times. "I hope to repay that in the longer term because obviously I was aware of the problems and I am aware of the problems we still have. "We need to strengthen the under-belly of this football club and we need to do that this summer, probably.

BottledDog Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 No doubt some see it as hoop tickling, but a nice little snippet about him from the Grauniads Steven Taylor interview today. "On the training pitch he also spends a lot of time working individually with you. He's very demanding, a perfectionist who is always on your tail, and really into his stats, but he's also got that bit of banter with people, which is good. He's the toughest manager I've had but he knows how to deal with his players. He's got everyone's respect." http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/2013/feb/08/steven-taylor-french-newcomers-newcastle Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
