quayside Posted October 13, 2013 Share Posted October 13, 2013 If Pardew goes I am 99% sure Kinnear will take over. In the unlikely event he doesn't I dread to think who we will get in. Either way I am certain it won't be an ambitious appointment. As bad as Pardew is I think there is more chance of the next manager being worse. It'll be another quick fix appointment by ashley, most likely Kinnear and when Kinnear suffers another wobbler it will be down to the coaching staff like last time. Then he'll end up appointing someone and it will all be to late. The man is a grade a idiot. Come on gimp Ashley is not an idiot. Whatever anyone on here thinks about Pardew's abilty as a manager what he said today about Ashley is about as accurate a description of our predicament as it gets imo.

"I think we are in that group with Tottenham, Everton, Liverpool. But whether we can reach the dizzy heights of Man City, Man United, Chelsea … where they are now … it's going to be tough. But you've got to believe you can. "The only time I hear the word 'expectations' from Newcastle fans is from journalists from the Midlands and London. But up north, they know. We will continue hopefully to excel this year and get a top- eight finish. Top five would be a great achievement." Ouch! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interpolic Posted October 13, 2013 Share Posted October 13, 2013 Anyone got that quote that used to be in Tooj's sig? Seems to have been changed.

Heron Posted October 13, 2013 Share Posted October 13, 2013 "When Mike is unhappy he does things that aren't good for the football club" Good to have an admission. Wow - quite shocked he owned up to that. MA will be p*ssed at that, as w all know what he wanted to say. "Mike is a big huffy kid and when things upset him he acts like an utter c***. This march on Saturday will no doubt have repercussions too! Dare I say...let it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't think he means it like that, more the fact every game is a must win up here, even gets said on this forum before nearly every match, if we lose 'must win' game, relegation battle looms. Well at least that's what i think he is putting across. There's pressure on every club manager to succeed but not necessarily on every single game like it is with Pardew. I thought he came across the whole interview rather well to be honest, obviously can dissect a quote here or there that might be incorrect or slightly baffling but on the whole thought it was a good watch and enjoyed it.

NG32 Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 Every game recently has been a must win cos weve been lurking at the bottom of the league ffs. people will take a defeat better if the team on the pitch isnt a fcking shambles for 90 minutes.

STM Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 If less words came from Pardew and more from Mike Ashley himself, that may help. Funny how Pardew flat out refuses to comment on transfers but is happy to blab on about the internal politics. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Quotes from Pardew's recent TV interview) This is utter tripe - is he trying to say that if Liverpool were getting our results their fans wouldn't be putting the club under pressure, presumably on the basis that they are in a city with 2 clubs..? ANY club which has a large and fervent fan base is going to find itself under pressure for results and performances - the problem is that Pardew is out of his league at NUFC...he was out of it at Southampton so he is hardly in a position to question the fans here.

KaKa Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 The guy is shameless. Wants to manage a good club, but have absolutely no expectations placed on him whatsoever. He's not built for this level of management, it's as simple as that. Everything out of his mouth is negative. Everything he does is done in fear and he constantly looks to cover his back. Grade A coward. Get him out. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too fucking right they should be. We should be aiming to win every single game, home & away, no matter who the opponent is. To try to win but fail is forgiveable, to give up before a ball has been kicked is contemptible. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 I think he's lost track of his position most things now and just makes it up as he goes along. One of his core job roles appears to be to continue to dampen expectations though. As long as the stadium is near full then they'll continue to try and cut as many corners as possible.

KaKa Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 This dampening of expectations thing is purely Pardew IMO, and not some sort of remit from above. It's down to his personal disbelief that he can achieve a decent result without spending like Man City. He'll be rabbiting on the same nonsense to everyone else at the club, whether it's Mike Ashley or Joe Kinnear or whoever. It is what he does. It's his way of doing everything in his power to stay in charge and buy himself time in a job he will never be good enough for. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
