Cant see Ashley coughing up the compensation just yet, though Pardew will remain a millstone until he does.

Would we be prepared to sacrifice most of the transfer budget for a clean start? All things considered, think I would.

Not that I reckon Poyet is a huge, proven improvement, but I would reckon there is more potential for a successful season, at least something to look forward to, which I'm struggling for at the moment.

Some reason I think Poyet is coming here, have done since the arrival of JFK. Feels like a matter of when for me.

 

Maybe that is hope I don't know, some kind of rescue of this awful situation.

Poyet can fuck off.

 

Gus Poyet backs Luis Suarez in race row, to surprise of Sir Alex Ferguson

 

Brighton manager Gus Poyet has offered to testify in court to defend Liverpool striker Luis Suarez.

Suarez, 24, was charged by the Football Association  on Wednesday with racially abusing Manchester United defender Patrice Evra in October.

 

But Poyet told talkSPORT  : "Luis is not a racist. We use different words and it is a different situation."

 

Poyet's remarks have been described as "inappropriate" by United manager Sir Alex Ferguson.

 

The 69-year-old would not be drawn on saying anything about the Evra situation, under instructions from the FA, but he was upset with Poyet's comments.

 

"I'm surprised by Gus Poyet's remarks," Ferguson said. "It's inappropriate at a time when people throughout the world are condemning racism.

"I can understand why he wants to support someone from his country but I think he should think more about it. His criticism of Evra is a bit silly."

Poyet moved to England with Chelsea in 1997 and had a spell with Tottenham before moving into coaching at Swindon and then Leeds.

He believes fellow Uruguayan Suarez needs time to adapt to the cultural differences of playing in the Premier League and feels the English game does not do enough to help foreign players.

He said: "You cannot accuse people without a proper investigation, especially when it's a foreigner who is coming from a different place where we treat people of colour in a different way.

"So it was very easy to accuse someone. Luis Suarez is 100% not a racist.

 

"Me, I'm not racist. I've lived with people of different colours in different countries and I adapted to every single situation. Suarez needs to adapt to England, and England needs to adapt to the players that come here.

 

"England needs to understand how the rest of the world lives. If we have that understanding, easy."

 

Evra made his claims  immediately after the 1-1 draw on 15 October and was quoted as telling French TV station Canal Plus: "There are cameras, you can see [suarez] say a certain word to me at least 10 times."

But Poyet believes Suarez has no case to answer.

 

"You are not racist when you go against one, but you are if you go against the whole world of different colour and nationalities. That is being racist, not saying one word in one moment," he added.

 

"If that's what you want, fair enough. I take it and accept it. I had to behave in a different way because I've been in England for 13 years. So I know what you are like and I adapt to that. Give Suarez another six months and I think he'll be how you want him to be."

Alan Pardew will be the voice of Newcastle United

24 Jun 2013 09:00

Alan Pardew will continue to be the figure who will address fans via all forms of media next season despite Joe Kinnear's arrival at the club

 

Alan Pardew will continue to be Newcastle United’s public face next season – despite the arrival of Joe Kinnear.

While the club’s new director of football has gone public on a range of issues in the wake of his return to St James’ Park, Pardew will be the man who Newcastle put in front of the cameras before and after matches.

And Pardew will be the figure who will address fans via all forms of media.

This situation was clarified during the pair’s meeting last week in London and rubber-stamped over the weekend by Kinnear.

Kinnear said: “The public face when addressing the supporters via the media will be Alan Pardew.”

Newcastle are also set to stick with the same backroom staff which has served them well during Pardew’s tenure on Tyneside.

Pardew has an incredible amount of faith in assistant boss John Carver and first-team coach Steve Stone.

At the end of last season he said: “John will be here as long as I am at the football club.”

Pardew has also said in the past that with Carver at the club a part of Sir Bobby Robson will live on.

Is that meant to be a good thing? :lol:

 

I think it is as far as the other option, I guess the media would much prefer JFK but if we want less of a circus then Pards is the better choice.

Pardew has not exactly covered himself in glory when speaking to the fans - quite often, he makes things seem worse than they are - IF that is possible so this news is not exactly welcome.

 

As far as Poyet is concerned, the jury is still out but I would take him instead of Pardew - immediately.

We know just how bad Pardew is as a manager in today's PL and we will go nowhere with him in charge.

Lesser of 2 evils aye, but just 'cause we have this joker in doesn't mean Pardew's any less of a twat when being interviewed.  Don't think I want to hear what either of them have to say at this point in time :lol:

No good can come of endlessly discussing other managers when Pardew is going to be in charge for the foreseeable future.

 

 

You think...bad start to the season and aln perdu will be history.

True, hopefully we'll have a good start though. And if Pardew does prove to be irredeemable then Ashley is willing to spend the money to sack him.

Well it can only really go 1 of 3 ways...a storming start, an average start or a poor start.  given all the recent clearing of the decks behind the scenes, llambias walking, kinnear coming in, players looking totally demotivated in home games,rumors of pardew wanting uk based players and not happy with the frenchies,ashleys meddling, pardews tactics, unable to score or defend, good players leaving and not sure ofwhats coming in...

 

 

Yeah we can only guess how it will go but youve gotta be worried.

A very poor start to the season (fixtures aren't bad after the first) will IMO mean a good chance of Kinnear stepping in, if it continues to be shite then probably Poyet if still unemployed or Pearce to take over until the end of the season and beyond.

 

Or it'll just continue to be Pardew. :lol:
