Gallowgate Toon Posted May 7, 2013 Share Posted May 7, 2013 He's not going but he's walking on thin ice. If things haven't improved within the first 10 games or so next year, then he's gone. I still reckon he has until Christmas. Surely dependent on how 'badly' we're doing. If we're in the bottom 5 after 10 games or so, I don't think they'll stand for it.

Chris_R Posted May 7, 2013 Share Posted May 7, 2013 He'll play safe and play for a draw. Think we all should know that by now. He'll play safe, no doubt about it imo. Baffled at how getting relegated equates to playing safe. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foluwashola Posted May 7, 2013 Share Posted May 7, 2013 Must admit I still don't quite understand the vitriol He may not be a particularly good manager and may delve often into his book of excuses (as 90% of losing managers do), but the genuine anger he seems to instil in the typing fingers of purportedly sane individuals is somewhat bewildering. We'll stay up and hopefully move on to bigger things. Howay. You still want him as our manager going forward? If better is available, get them in. All I'm saying is that I don't want to kill Pardew and his family in a dramatic display of my support for DA TOON. Neither does anyone else they just want him replaced going into next season. Just strikes me as slightly odd the fact that every other post contains some reference to him being a MASSIVE CHILD-MURDERING CUNT. Now I'm no prude, and perhaps don't fully understand the pain the man is putting us through, but the anger is weird to my uninitiated eyes. (Disclaimer: I have regularly been swept up in Internet mob hatred) This is one step away from "It's only a game lol" What is it that you don't understand about the disdain for Pardew? OTT tongue in cheek comments about wanting him deed aside. It is? Okay. If you think genuine hatred of the man is normal, I'm not sure any answer I give would be satisfactory. I'm sure there is a middle ground between 'its only a game' and 'Alan pardew is a CUNT', but nevermind. As you were. Please be true, the miserable old drunk has poisoned English football for too long. Not sure what you're getting at. Everything in that Ferguson post is fact. It betrays no emotion. He is miserable. He is a drunk. He has poisoned. Areet then. A quick search of "Foluwashola Fergie Cunt" http://www.newcastle-online.org/nufcforum/index.php/topic,79195.msg3376797.html#msg3376797 What is this evidence attempting to prove your honour? I started this debate in an attempt to understand the innate hatred of Alan Pardew, not the renowned cunt Alex Ferguson. His cuntery is already beyond the stage of argument. For me, at least, Pardew's isn't. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LoveItIfWeBeatU Posted May 7, 2013 Share Posted May 7, 2013 I thought the rumour was it was a 1 year pay out if Ashley sacks Pardew? I can't imagine Ashley agreeing to any 8 year contract which would mean Pardew would be entitled to be fully paid up if he is sacked, after all, Pardew would be getting sacked for not achieving the targets in his incentive heavy contract.

BlueStar Posted May 7, 2013 Share Posted May 7, 2013 The only thing that makes me believe that is that "If I get sacked I get 10 million pounds" is seemingly the only thinking that could explain some of Alan's team selections. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cajun Posted May 7, 2013 Share Posted May 7, 2013 I just cannot see Mike Ashley of all people going "well you have had one good season, I'm going to give you a ludicrous contract when you would clearly accept a lot shorter one and leave myself having to pay a shit load of money if it doesn't work out".

Spudil Posted May 7, 2013 Share Posted May 7, 2013 bad? this season is a lot worse than bad. I think (hope in truth) that Ashley will see this season as much, much worse than the "bad season" DL talked about. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tachikoma Posted May 7, 2013 Share Posted May 7, 2013 So, about that forum bet... what are the odds on Pardew not getting sacked? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanj Posted May 7, 2013 Share Posted May 7, 2013 Ashley's a very cunning and shrewd businessman if he has control of something. He probably agreed to a heavy incentivized contract with multiple get-outs from either party and clauses to terminate with minimal fee payout to Pardew and his staff. Ashley may make some absolute bone-headed decisions, but he and his legal team would have protected the club from an 8 year payout man. 1-2 years are probably what I'd guess would be the maximum. Just read that article posted after I wrote this btw. I just can't see that holding any weight man. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a big believer in ITK but the stuff being banded about previously makes a lot more sense. Totally. Ashley clearly held all the cards. Also, it says he gets paid 1.5mil a year - thought he was meant to be on a fraction of that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
