Mattoon Posted September 13, 2013 Share Posted September 13, 2013 The only reason any more spending is going to put us into our overdraft is because Ashley's emptied our accounts. No way should the club with the 20th largest income in the WHOLE f***ing WORLD be unable to have a net spend on transfers over 5 sodding years. So either the overdraft comment is a massive lie, or all our money has been drained into that tatty charva clothes shop. Either scenario is utterly disgusting. Not a defence, just an observation. Rangers got very similar crowds to us and look what happened, plus they gotten Champions League money and probably have a bigger fanbase worldwide. Err because they were fiddling their taxes. Irrelevance because of the above but what's the SPL TV deal worth? Our situation and Rangers are vastly different, incomparable. I wouldn't bet on it, pleading poverty whilst having zero expenditure? Something's not right. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disco Posted September 13, 2013 Share Posted September 13, 2013 None of us had great expectations of the summer transfer window and the end result was about as bad as we could have thought it could be. This week Alan Pardew has talked about fans disappointed Newcastle didn’t make a ‘marquee signing’, to the bemusement of the supporters, and now he is claiming that United bid ‘a lot of money’ for an English player this summer. FA Cup semi-final Alan ShearerThis is what he had to say to the Shields Gazette; “We could well be starting (on Saturday v Villa) without any English player, I am sure we will get a lot of negative press. We tried to bring an English player to this club (this summer) for a lot of money but it didn’t happen. That is something we have looked at, the ratio of foreign players is getting tight for us. It is important in our transfer policy that we bring in some English players.” The one English player the club claimed they’d bid for in the summer was Darren Bent, with claims that Villa were wanting £6m and Newcastle not prepared to match that, the player ending up at Fulham on loan. Millions of pounds is obviously millions of pounds but inside Premier League football you have to look at the going rate and surely Alan Pardew can’t claim a bid of under £6m is a ‘lot of money’? Can he? Maybe he got carried away after seeing the likes of Beardsley, Shearer and Ferdinand turning out on Wednesday and wanted to be a part of that feelgood factor. There were rumours of interest in Tom Ince but surely if the likes of Blackpool had turned down ‘a lot of money’; for their star man they’d be wanting to make sure their fans knew about it. Plus if Newcastle had made an official bid for a player then surely they could be saying now who it was. Smoke and mirrors coming into play, just for a change. The truth is never clear these days at Newcastle United. I don't believe you Alan. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Crooks Posted September 13, 2013 Share Posted September 13, 2013 Scum sucking sycophantic slime. Aside from the fact that he's about as much much good as a turd in a punchbowl in terms of coaching. He's complicit in getting into bed with the most ruthless and non-empathetic people to grace the sport. If this is what 'all managers say' and 'sustainability' then the whole lot can get fucked. That goes for anyone who defends him too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Posted September 13, 2013 Share Posted September 13, 2013 Bent wasn't a lot of money though. Oh wait, we're including the wages for the rest of his career and sending his kids to private school aren't we. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if he'd agreed to Smart Price bog roll instead of Andrex supersoft he could have got it over the line. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Varadi Posted September 13, 2013 Share Posted September 13, 2013 I think he was in the loop if you like or if we are De Niro in meet the fockers, in the circle of trust, and now he's out of it. He's been left to make do and he's now fending for himself. Its all one big messy situation. We really are a rudderless ship. That would make sense. I know people have it in for Pardew for various reasons, but ultimately the single best thing for him is a team that's winning games, same as for us. I think his contradictory press statements are a small symptom of a much wider problem. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nordstrom Posted September 14, 2013 Share Posted September 14, 2013 No coincidence that this performance comes at the same time we play a 4-3-3. Credit where credit is due, Pards out out our best eleven with a formation which got us into Europe. Don't change anything tyvm. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdckelly Posted September 14, 2013 Share Posted September 14, 2013 Whats impressed me more is the fact barring one braindead moment for their goal the defence coped very well with a very good striker in Benteke and has since City looked quite solid despite me being rather skeptical about the ability of MYM and Colo as a pairing.
