Reckon he's gone. Had a feeling about it for a few days.

 

The only fear i've got about him going is that Pullis in available now.

 

We would at least score set pieces and he does hoof ball properly. Can't wait for Debuchy to be our Delap

Maybe we're waiting to be the last club to sack their manager and so by the time we do it no one will give a s***.

 

 

I bet we are still called fickle, deluded and impatient though when it does happen.

Meant to say on twatter (just because) is that if stoke fans are frustrated with puliis (no due respect to Stoke)

 

What the fuck should we be with Pardew?

 

Ferguson = retired

Mancini = sacked

Benny = I just won the ropa league and they hate mate me

Pullis = stoke fans frustrated

 

Pardew?

 

Best answer wins

Had to unfollow that likeable furry Geordie video-making chap. He's started retweeting utter bollocks about Pardew going.

 

Next video: 'Dave is a cunt'

 

An epic rant about how he's going to find you and kill you.

Never again! Newcastle bosses stage summit to make relegation battles are a thing of the past

21 May 2013 22:30

 

Owner Mike Ashley, manager Alan Pardew, MD Llambias and chief scout Carr are thrashing out what went wrong in this past season

 

 

Alan Pardew faces a Wednesday showdown with his Newcastle boss Mike Ashley - and will be ordered to never let the club get into relegation danger again.

 

Sportswear tycoon Ashley will spend the day working out a way of fixing the Geordies' troubles - with Pardew and his staff, chief scout Graham Carr and managing director Derek Llambias all in the firing line.

 

Ashley is angry at Newcastle's failure in the Premier League this past season, after they finished 16th a mere 12 months after ending in fifth spot, but is also in a frame of mind to try to help his managerial team come up with solid solutions ahead of their summer holidays.

 

The indications are that Pardew will keep his job as manager - to the disappointment of some fans - and will make a plea to Ashley to tweak the transfer policy.

 

Pardew wants “two strikers” signed as a priority, with Liverpool's Newcastle old boy Andy Carroll, a cut-price Loic Remy of relegated Queens Park Rangers and St Etienne's Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang all under consideration.

 

Ajax attacking midfielder and skipper Siem de Jong is also an option.

 

Newcastle also want to bring in a towering centre-half, and Pardew went into the meeting demanding some “experience” is added among the three players he believes are required.

 

A key dynamic will be how different Pardew’s demands are from scout Carr’s recommendations.

 

For instance, Carr brought in Vurnon Anita - a technical midfielder - from Ajax last summer for £6.7million, but he hasn’t become a trusted mainstay of the team.

 

Pardew knows the club has a preference for landing players aged 25 or less, but believes that should be a flexible policy.

 

He feels its preferable for new recruits to have several seasons of top league experience, but not necessarily in the British game.

 

Ashley was set to demand answers to why the league and domestic cup games had gone so badly wrong in 2012-13, with United suffering one of the worst single-season reverses in recent history.

 

But Llambias is also taking responsibility, admitting that the club left Pardew short last summer - especially when there was a Europa League campaign on the horizon.

 

Newcastle's top brass ultimately want the club want to challenge for a Champions League place, and believe the second-tier Europa League to be a drain on resources which doesn’t make them any money.

 

There will also be a search for the reason why Newcastle's players suffered a total of 70 injuries during the season - Pardew has statistics showing how his players' physical levels dipped after European games.

 

Tactics -whether players were used in their best positions, the chronic lack of success from set-pieces and the apparent lack of a plan B and C in games - will also be on the agenda.

 

There will also have been a discussion on leadership from within the dressing room.

 

The departures of strong characters Demba Ba, Kevin Nolan, Joey Barton and now Steve Harper in recent years have transformed the dynamic that existed during the 2009-10 season, when Newcastle won promotion back to the Premier League.

 

Communication issues caused by the influx of French players - there are now 10 Francophones on the books - is also being addressed.

 

The cushy life of having interpreters helping at every turn has been ended, and players told to learn English quickly and speak it at the training ground.

 

This is on the advice of Yohan Cabaye, who reckoned he learned the language faster because he had to do it on his own.

 

Top of the list of player issues is the future of captain Fabricio Coloccini, who asked to leave in January because of “personal issues”.

 

There is a divide in opinion at St James’ Park, with some playing hardball and demanding Argentine club San Lorenzo, Coloccini's preferred destination, come up with a fee.

 

Others advise releasing him and cancelling his lucrative, and lengthy, £3million a year contract.

 

However, Pardew wants to talk him into staying.

 

The manager is also wary of losing key men to Champions League clubs.

 

It is likely Newcastle will be “trading” this summer, having not brought in a big chunk of cash from a sale for a while.

 

Cabaye - who had a offer to go to Spurs last summer but was told he was staying put - is the pick of the litter, with Paris Saint-Germain the obvious contenders for his signature.

 

Hatem Ben Arfa is wanted by Liverpool, but will only leave for a Champions League club, while keeper Tim Krul has been eyed by AC Milan.

 

Pardew warned on Tuesday: “We’re one of those clubs where we’re liable to lose one of our great players to a Champions League team through finance - and sometimes the will of the player. You can’t keep a player who doesn’t want to stay.

 

“Having said that, it’s going to be very difficult for any club to get a player out of here unless it’s a serious or big bid.”

This would be the worst time ever to fire Pardew: Pulis is free and I'm scared.

I certainly hope Ashley is wondering why the fuck we signed Anita as Pardew will have to explain why.
