NG32 Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 Ben Arfa won't exactly go for big money at the moment considering his horrendous injury record here. His snapped ankle and the issue last season. Its harldey and horrendous injury record of on and off injuries. 19 games last season says otherwise. Like I said, the issue last season.

ExiledGeordie Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 I hate the way he says "we have to guard against offers" coming in for players when everyone knows they'll sell at the first opportunity after Pardew constantly advertises that players are for sale.

Guest firetotheworks Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 If the interviews with Kinnear about being offered the job after his heart attack and it being universally laughed at on here, only for him to turn up as our DOF don't make you realise that these people operate on a level that is completely insane and entirely depressing, then you never will. We've been told by a reliable source that part of Pardew's job remit is to recoup money from players, Redknapp has said that we were actively trying to sell Carroll, Carroll has said that he was pushed, Barton and Nolan have described similar scenarios. Pardew talks regularly about how we are vulnerable, as if we can't possibly say no. He's effectively walking through a rough estate with his iphone out screaming 'I HOPE I DON'T GET MUGGED' The writing is on the wall, man. Conspiracy theories? Howeh, you're intelligent people, stop being played for mugs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

alexf Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 Don't see how some days the club are boasting that we are doing great financially and do not need to sell and other days talking about how vulnerable we are to bids for players etc. Surely if we are financially sound then you put a big asking price on your players, like we did for Carroll, and if someone wants to be stupid and pay over the odds then fair enough.

Hanshithispantz Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 Those golfmag posts get more and more real every window. Any chance of a recap? Saw something in someone's sig but I haven't seen anything else Our London lawyers told us two weeks ago that Pardew was being lined up, to the extend that a draft contract was in place. I can only guess from that they they have prepared it. I refused to believe it but I am not sure all of a sudden... When I first found this out, it was when Chris and the team were riding a wave, back in October I think. Pardew's name had bever been mentioned anywhere to my knowledge and I flat didn't believe what I was being told. I, like all of us, am still clinging to the hope that Ashley has had his head turned by Jol's sudden availability. But I do know for a fact that the plan in question has been in place for a long time. A very specific part of Pardew's written remit is to reduce costs and the debt, to make it easier for MA to sell the club. Look at everything he says in this context.. Part of Pardew's remuneration is based on how much the club's operating expenses (wge costs for him) are reduced. I think that this fact will influence much of this summer's decisions - ones that seem logical to us and ones that don't. depressing. Was he a credible ITK though? The calling of Pardew makes Golfmag a very credible ITK, probably the best ever. I do find it hard to get hold of the reducing of costs/wages etc. I just don't think he has any say in that. Other than that.... He's the direct link between the players and the board so he has a massive say tbh. It's pretty widely accepted that Hughton was sacked because he was too pally with the players and would stick up for them when needed. He has a massive say on wages that are written into the players contracts? I don't think he has anything like that sort of influence. Nobody has said that, have they? The manager can have a massive say on the clubs overall spending though, aye. If he has a backbone and kicks up a fuss about a lack of spending, or throws in an ultimatum if his players are sold etc, something that Pardew will never do. He's a yes man. I quote "Part of Pardew's remuneration is based on how much the club's operating expenses (wge costs for him) are reduced. " So yes someone has said that tbh, and I don't think he has any say on players' wages. None of that is suggesting that he has a say on player wages though, it's suggesting that part of the reason he was hired was to help reduce the clubs operating expenses. Which doesn't necessarily imply that he has a direct say on player wages. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Standard non exciting stuff clubs do a lot. May have been something about differences in opinion on contract length iirc. Barton however yes was pushed because the guys Trouble and not a good enough player to compensate for the bullshit he brings and considering what he put the club through and indeed apparently rejected a contract on deadline day Carroll version (iirc) its no surprise they threw him out. He was also a free transfer out. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nobody has actually said this In the post that I quoted Icarus said "We've been told by a reliable source that part of Pardew's job remit is to recoup money from players" One of the best ways of doing that would be by selling them at a profit I'd have thought. Unless the idea was to sell them at a loss which seems unlikely. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the sole aim is to sell at a profit then even £11m would be a good return. Going by that way of thinking, £4,000,000.01p would be profit, but they'll obviously have a set price in mind of his worth. In the past we've almost applauded Ashley and Co on the prices that they've managed to get for players. Dyer, Milner, Carroll being the obvious examples. They were applauded because we naively thought that it would be invested back into buying players that would benefit us, not into buying players that were then slagged around by Pardew at a higher price than they paid for them.
