Unbelievable Posted September 27, 2012 Share Posted September 27, 2012 I genuinely don't know what to make of this.. On the one hand I sort of like the stability it gives us and Pardew's done well. On the other it does feel like they've got their ideal yes man who won't ever complain or criticise, meaning they can get away with very little actual investment for the foreseeable future. There is only so much Pardew et al can achieve on a tight budget trying to compete with teams spending hundreds of millions like it's going out of fashion.

Guest JS Posted September 27, 2012 Share Posted September 27, 2012 Andy Carroll signed a 5 year deal. Contracts don't mean an awful lot in the game in this day and age sadly (unless it's under 1 year..) Its sort of win-win in a way, though I kind of have doubts that maybe all the 'meticulous' hard work he did when he first got the job to prove he was good enough in the beginning will probably evaporate with complacency taking over :/. A bit like when you first get with a lass you like, you know, you act the super perfect guy, looking after yourself and all that, then you fuck her maybe and get into a nice cosy relationship then you think fuck it and just let it go a bit because you feel safe. If we do well, we get stability. If he does really really well, maybe some club will buy him out of the contract for a f*** load of money. And if we float above the top 10? hmm.

Sifu Posted September 27, 2012 Share Posted September 27, 2012 Woah, 8 years?! Yeah, I'd say I'm pretty satisfied with us tying him down on a long term contract but 8 years is a bit crazy like! Still though, may the next 8 years be prosperous and enjoyable Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
afar Posted September 27, 2012 Share Posted September 27, 2012 No problem at all with this tbh. If he's not doing the job he'll be sacked whatever length his contract is. If he continues the work he did last season then we've got a bloody good manager tied up for a long time. Really all this does in many respects is to protect the club if someone comes along and tries to poach him. The positive angle is to send out a message to the staff that the board has their backing and to the players that there is stable leadership here at the club for the first time in a long time, this might also help a little with incoming signings.

Cajun Posted September 27, 2012 Share Posted September 27, 2012 Oh great 8 more years of uninspiring football... Here we go again. Yawn. After all the stuff he said about giving Pardew a break in future as well. A great season, a good start to this but we haven't destroyed anyone so he is back in the bad books Some really do expect too much iyam. Nothing wrong with always wanting improvement but there is taking it too far/being too expectant. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peppe Posted September 27, 2012 Share Posted September 27, 2012 What happens if we kick him? Do we have to pay him 8 years (or whatever he'd have left) worth of salary? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hudson Posted September 27, 2012 Share Posted September 27, 2012 Maybe just maybe, Ashley has offered this 8 year contract with a low ish basic wage say 750k a year, but another million can be made up in bonus related to performace and player development. If it all goes tit's up ashley only has to pay a min compo package. Then again Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

nufc4eva Posted September 27, 2012 Share Posted September 27, 2012 Would like to think we could have that sort of stability and still progress over next few years, however we are the soap opera of the premier league and it will go monumentally wrong. The good thing though is that Pardew really has everything in place to do well with young players starting to break through, but can he actually pick a system and stick with it. We seem to reset to the beginning of last season rather than progressed to a 4-3-3 fluid team, hope he can progress us in next 8 years Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fenham Mag Posted September 27, 2012 Share Posted September 27, 2012 Henry Winter @henrywinter I honour my bets. I promised to swim the Tyne if Ashley showed long-term loyalty to Pardew #nufc. He has, fair play, so time for dip in Tyne Henry Winter @henrywinter @LukeEdwardsTele the bet was that Ashley would offload Pardew by 2015. Fair play to Ashley, backed Pards, new deal etc. Tyne here I come Hope he does it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know you're jesting but there is probably a lot of truth in it. Having to renegotiate contracts in football must be a right ballache. You also have longer to wait until there's a pay rise upon signing a new contract. The long contracts absolutely make sense IMO. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
