Dave Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 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 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. I suppose, but what's the difference now in TV money per place?, bonus likely pays for itself. Was £755k last year, will probably be closer to £1.2m this time around. Our wage bill is around £60m, so it depends what the bonus is based on. Either way I don't think he'll be crying if we finish 11th. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlanSkÃrare Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 Isn't Koeman shit? Remember his spell at Valencia where the players reportedly decided to play "their own way" in order to win Copa del Rey and not let him ruin their chances of winning the title.

Hughesy Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 I thought Koeman was meant to have done a great job with Feyenoord? Looking at his record, he seems to have done well most places he's been. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mole_Toonfan Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 Koeman was awful at Valencia, not even Pardew could have topped that level of ineptitude. Mind you i haven't seen him anywhere else, maybe he just didn't fit well with that one particular club Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest bimpy474 Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 Snotgrass. http://www.shieldsgazette.com/sport/football/newcastle-united/newcastle-prepare-move-for-scotland-ace-snodgrass-1-6587680 NEWCASTLE United could turn to Robert Snodgrass this summer – with the club looking to buy British. The Norwich City winger has just over a year left on his contract. And the Gazette understands Snodgrass is a player who is interesting Newcastle. The 26-year-old Glaswegian, strongly linked with a move to Celtic in January, is expected to leave Carrow Road in the summer after two years at the club. United manager Alan Pardew, under intense pressure after a club-record run of six successive Premier League defeats, has already held transfer talks with owner Mike Ashley, managing director Lee Charnley and chief scout Graham Carr. Pardew is keen for Newcastle, which has delved heavily into the French market in recent seasons, to sign more British talent. The 52-year-old is a long-time admirer of Swansea City’s Jonjo Shelvey, who he handed his debut while manager of Charlton Athletic. And Sunderland’s Tyneside-born midfielder Jack Colback, available on a free transfer, is another option. While Pardew’s primary focus is United’s remaining two games, work is ongoing behind the scenes ahead of an anticipated summer of outgoings and incomings. With the futures of wide men Hatem Ben Arfa, Sylvain Marveaux, Jonas Gutierrez and Gabriel Obertan seemingly lying away from St James’s Park, Snodgrass is under consideration. “Recruitment is obviously very important for next year,” Pardew told the Gazette. “Our fans need to know we’re working hard on that. I can’t take my eye off that – I wouldn’t be doing the job if I did. “But I know our fans are desperate for a result, and that’s been my main focus.” Snodgrass joined Norwich from Championship club Leeds United, where he had been captain. The Scotland international was involved in a confrontation with a number of home fans during Newcastle’s goalless draw at Norwich in January. Snodgrass later apologised to the club’s supporters. Gutierrez, meanwhile, is on a half-season loan at Norwich, but the odds of him making a permanent move to Carrow Road seemingly receded after former United manager Chris Hughton was dismissed by the club early this month.

After the Palace home game I was chatting to someone about how shite the game was/Pardew is awful etc . He said, 'nah, there's too many French players in the team'. There was three that day.

Guest bimpy474 Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 Agree with what's being said about our buying policy, i'll just add i think Snodgrass is quite a good player from what i've seen of him. Good delivery at set penises too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
themanupstairs Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 I don't mind players like Shelvey, Snodgrass and Colback forming a solid underbelly as part of a squad. Rotated to rest the better players or in case of injuries and suspensions. NOT in place of Cabaye and Ben Arfa though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

nufc4eva Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 so it looks like were grabbing all the cheapo brits from the relegation teams!! yeh i'm sure thats going to work well next season Isn't that the approach the Mackems took a few years ago and we laughed at them. If some of these were just squad players and not first teamers I wouldn't have much of a problem but you know they will start 80% of games in our relegation season Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
