NUFC transfer rumours in the press

[TheHoob]

Just another way for Pardew to deflect the blame and appease a few knuckle daggers in our support who blame everything on us having a load of french players.

[KaKa]

Ultimately something has to give. Either Pardew gets jettisoned, or they get him the types he keeps on bleating on about, which will ultimately hasten his exit anyway.

[SEMTEX]

I don't really get why people think his exit is inevitable. He has satisfied his requirements for the season.

It depends how much pressure the fans create. Ashley will put his assets stability above Pardew & the fans can destabilize the club if they want to.

 

Just look at how much Pardew keeps talking about pressure in this run we're on, it is making the job harder for him. That is coming from only a section the fans.

[AyeDubbleYoo]

It's probably the most uncertain managerial sacking/keeping I've ever known TBH. Nobody has any clue about what Ashley is thinking and whether he even cares we've lost all these games.

[SEMTEX]

I don't think the fans are united enough to destabilize the club. Maybe it'll happen in the future, but right now we're a long long long way off.

[Jayson]

How will he turn this run around next season though? The unusual circumstance is that the pressure isnt coming from relegation, its from dissatisfaction with style of play etc. The fans making noises now wont be satisfied by a win against Cardiff, it will be there next season & right now he isnt handling it. We're getting battered.

[Wallace]

I think if Pardew isn't sacked at the end of the season then I am convinced he will be by Christmas as the general malaise will just continue into next season and then we will be in a relegation battle.

Yup. That's exactly how I view it.

 

Beat Cardiff and relegate them whilst saving the mackems. Pardew gains more power in regards to incomings and out goings.

 

 

The likes of HBA Yanga and Marv and flogged and replaced with British players and we continue to struggle playing attacking front foot football with plenty of physical fret (just not from set pieces).

[SEMTEX]

If by next Christmas were looking like relegation candidates, I can see him going, yes. But right now, we're safe as houses and in the top half. No amount of fan annoyance is going to get Mike beyond his measurables.

[AlanSkÃrare]

We're going into some sort apocalypse sooner rather than later. It's just a matter of when. Then Ashley sells up and we bounce back.

[Teasy]

I don't really get why people think his exit is inevitable. He has satisfied his requirements for the season.

 

Not yet he hasn't, we could still finish outside the top 10.

[SEMTEX]

And even then, do we think that is going to cause Mike to lose any sleep? I severely doubt it. At no point this season has Mr Ashley had to show any interest in NUFC. We've been ticking along nicely. As is very apparently by our lack of activity in the transfer market. Last year we were in the shit so we paid money for our future freebies, this year we were golden. We made £20m this year and finished between 9th and 11th! Sounds like a fucking massive win for Mike. Time to give Pards an extension.

[Dave]

If we finish out of the top ten, we don't have to pay out any bonuses. Why exactly would this annoy Ashley?

[Ste]

The difference in one place isn't much when it's 10th and 11th. A million or two? If that? Dunno if Ashley would be arsed. It's still mid table, it's still safety, it's still another year of Sports Direct on display in the Premier League.

[SEMTEX]

He probably doesn't even give a shit about the very alarming 2014 form n arl. A more proactive owner would probably be thinking if we continue on our current slide, we'll be in League Two by June, but wor Mike won't move a fucking inch until the cock of relegation is slapping him square in the face.

I don't know Ashley's thoughts, but finishing in the top 10 was the requirement this season so whether he's sacked or not he'd have failed if we drop to 11th.

 

If we finish out of the top ten, we don't have to pay out any bonuses. Why exactly would this annoy Ashley?

 

Hah yeah I thought about that, but seriously he wouldn't have offered the bonus if he didn't want us to finish top 10.

[Dave]

Hah yeah I thought about that but then why even offer the bonus for 10th if he doesn't want that finish as a minimum requirement.

 

It's an incentive. If we're top half we're not going down, ergo he doesn't have to spend any money on the squad.

[Spider Jerusalem]

Ashley probably made the 10th place bonus promise because he thought there was no way he'd be paying out on it tbh.

I can't say I think finishing in the top 10 was a 'requirement' of Mike's.

I suppose, but what's the difference now in TV money per place?, bonus likely pays for itself.

Well the club keep talking about top 10 and there's a bonus for everyone if they finish top 10, which I'm sure is sanctioned by Ashley.  Not claiming he'll be auto sacked if he finishes outside, just saying everything points to top 10 being the aim.

[Teasy]

So the link is that Koeman knows fuck all about any link?

I wouldn't pay the blindest bid of attention to what the club keep talking about. The club will make up all manner of nice sounding, yet attainable goals, and I'm sure they'd like to achieve them, but in reality, there is 1 goal - stay in the Premier League in order to advertise his #1 business.

 

Anyway, probably a bit off topic, but this topic might as well be 1 giant fucking tumbleweed.
