Guest bimpy474 Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 Well not buying anyone for 18 months by the time the window reopens is a magnificent achievement. Well done all. Going down the road to Portsmouth is reckless in the extreme. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neil Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 I addressed that point earlier in the thread. You can read a few pages back if you like but I'm done with you for now, sorry. Grow the fuck up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andymc1 Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 I addressed that point earlier in the thread. You can read a few pages back if you like but I'm done with you for now, sorry. Under Keegan when we beat Man Utd 5-0 or Spurs 7-1, under Robson when we beat Man Utd 4-3, Leeds 4-3 or broke the London hoodoo at Arsenal - did you worry about the balance sheet or did you manage to enjoy what you had witnessed? I enjoyed what I seen on the pitch on those occasions and couldn't give a shit what the balance sheet said because I'm a fan of a football club, not a fan of a business.

Guest tollemache Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 Can you not enjoy one and still care about the other? They're not mutually exclusive. And the football club you are a fan of is a business. That is simply the way it is. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest bimpy474 Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 Can you be a fan of business ? He has a valid point, Football is a business now, i hate to say it but it is. We do need to be concerned about it, and tbf to Ashley he has done ok with that part. Just my opinion of it. But what we now have is a business and no football club, a club losing it soul and identity, it so skewed the other way it's ridiculous. Frankly it looks like Ashley isn't interested in as a club to win things with, we're just a vehicle for his jumble sale shops. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want to see the team play well and we can't do that with Pardew - there's only one solution and that's to get rid of him. I bet you're the kind of bloke who goes back to the pub after losing 3-2 and giving it the old "ah well, it's the taking part that counts". A lack of competitiveness makes me sad Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest chopey Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 I wonder if our next Accountant will get his photo in the paper alongside pardew and sign his contract in the center circle at half time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I don't accept hiring a proven failure is good business and I'm sure you don't either. Even if we sign 5 players this summer it's pointless if we are not going to have a proper manager to manage them. As I said in the other thread, this is Newcastle United.

Dont know about a comma, but he certainly talks out of his colon. I do feel for the guy though. His optimism is other worldly. I vaguely remember being one of the positive guys.

While we want to be run well, what we really want is good football, and good football usually means decent results. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know people dislike Pardew for different reason but mine is mainly the standard of the football. Football is a beautiful game, it's meant to be exciting, passing and movement, flair and creativity. Under Pardew we are an ugly team that lacks most of that. Yet Pardew tells us we play good stuff. Utter bullshit and i hate him for it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
