AyeDubbleYoo Posted July 8, 2013 Share Posted July 8, 2013 Listening to the interview, Pardew seems very confident in Lee Charnley. Obviously easy to say he's just lying etc, but quite encouraging to hear he has positive things to say about that situation. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AyeDubbleYoo Posted July 8, 2013 Share Posted July 8, 2013 I just think he sounded like he was genuinely OK about it, that's all. As I said, might well just be bluffing/frontin'. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not trying to say the JFK appointment isn't a massive mistake, never have. Just slightly encouraging to see Pardew can work with Charnley and seems to respect him.

littlelunchbox Posted July 8, 2013 Share Posted July 8, 2013 He had no problems working with Charnley last season, why would he have any now? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted July 8, 2013 Share Posted July 8, 2013 He had no problems working with Charnley last season, why would he have any now? He didn't have to deal with or rely on Charnley as much last season, because he, Llambias and Carr did the deals. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
littlelunchbox Posted July 8, 2013 Share Posted July 8, 2013 Not much has changed now its Charnley, Carr and JFK. Llambias is just as clueless as JFK, and know even less about football. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest icemanblue Posted July 8, 2013 Share Posted July 8, 2013 Not much has changed now its Charnley, Carr and JFK. Llambias is just as clueless as JFK, and know even less about football. I very much doubt that, to be honest. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, I just meant it was (slightly) encouraging to hear that Pardew was happy enough with the situation. Not a major positive I admit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unbelievable Posted July 8, 2013 Share Posted July 8, 2013 Kinnear makes Llambias look incredibly professional in hindsight. Afraid so. Amazingly, Mike appointed the one person he knew who was even less suited to an executive role at NUFC. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minhosa Posted July 8, 2013 Share Posted July 8, 2013 Kinnear makes Llambias look incredibly professional in hindsight. Yup. AND that's a fucking huge achievement. Agree with Parky in respect of the 'gone by December' theory. Just can't see any way in which this can work out. What a clusterfuck of epic proportions. What goes through MA's mind?

Guest icemanblue Posted July 8, 2013 Share Posted July 8, 2013 I'm still not entirely convinced he'll be here by the time the season kicks off, like. For what reason? Mostly a gut feeling on the back of the Kinnear appointment and Llambias resigning. He's obviously not at all happy with it, hence the silence up until it was absolutely necessary for him to speak. I think things will continue to be made extremely difficult for him, with the aim of making him walk. Plus, Gus Poyet hasn't been given a job elsewhere yet.

A lot depends on how successful they are in pulling off purples. Fail, and even Pardew might walk. Poyet can fuck right off though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tooj Posted July 8, 2013 Share Posted July 8, 2013 Walking out on 7 years remaining of a very handsome contract, absolute no chance. I would imagine he'd have a strong case for constructive dismissal. There'll be something in his contract stating he picks the team and doesn't have final say in transfers or something.

Pilko Posted July 8, 2013 Share Posted July 8, 2013 I'm still not entirely convinced he'll be here by the time the season kicks off, like. For what reason?

I think things will continue to be made extremely difficult for him, with the aim of making him walk. Plus, Gus Poyet hasn't been given a job elsewhere yet. I'm also a bit skeptical. Pardew will be fully aware of the history that Ashley has at this club and what went on with the Wise/Keegan situation; whilst he might not get his big payoff if he walks away, his reputation would still be relatively intact and he'd probably be able to pick up another Championship/promoted side management job within the year off the back of the successful 2011/12 season. If we don't sign the players he wants and we're left with a thin squad again, especially if Kinnear's new involvement and the splitting of Llambias' role muddies the water somewhat, I don't think it's beyond the realms of possibility. Plus, as someone else has already said, like fuck would Pardew keep his gob shut for almost two months unless summat was the matter. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted July 8, 2013 Share Posted July 8, 2013 After hearing him speak there doesn't seem like any chance at all that he'll walk out any time soon. He might after a failed transfer window followed by another terrible season, but that remains to be seen. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
