Chizzletooth Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 "Pardew - very good manager" "Another decent season - you must be pleased" "Big improvement on last year, considering how little Pardew's got to work with" These are the things I hear in real life whenever I meet my non-NUFC supporter mates. They look pretty bewildered when I bring up any grievances. And only some of them are dim. Here's another one they probably think but don't share with you: What more do they want for a poor little club up north? Deluded facking Geordies." Well "deluded" comes up quite a bit. Not so much being a "poor club up north", more "well you've never won anything and were relegated only a few seasons ago, so being just outside the euro spots, while spending nothing, ain't bad at all".

Hughesy Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 Every time he opens his mouth I take one more step away from St James Park That's just impractical. You can't live your life constantly waiting a certain distance away from SJP waiting to see if Pardew has said anything. You'd never get anything done.

DJ_NUFC Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 Relegation in '09 was literally the best thing that could've happened for Ashley. The supporters have adopted a totally different mindset since that day. Makes the heart ache, reading that, as it's bang on. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jordan Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 Think we'll be relegated next season if Pardew is in charge for all of it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 Relegation wasn't suddenly out of nowhere though was it? It was the result of a gradual decline and a lot of board-level and managerial mistakes. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jordan Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 Relegation wasn't suddenly out of nowhere though was it? It was the result of a gradual decline and a lot of board-level and managerial mistakes. It's all coming this summer imo. We're going to lose a lot of players and not replace them adequately. We're looking at a group of players potentially leaving like Ben Arfa, Shola, Colo, Gosling, Debuchy, Marveaux, Obertan and MYM. Some of them I can't wait to see the back of, others incredibly poorly managed. We won't replace that quantity of players and we certainly won't replace the quality we could lose.

NewJerseyMag Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 Relegation wasn't suddenly out of nowhere though was it? It was the result of a gradual decline and a lot of board-level and managerial mistakes. Many of which we are now repeating. I'm not as hateful of Pardew as most: he's average. My problem is with the owner: after being relegated the last time you would have thought that he would know that a top class striker in particular is needed to maintain PL status. However, he we are with 2 on loan strikers, another who is woefully out of form and one who is past it (if he ever had it in the first place). I'm very concerned that without the individual goals of Remy that we will be in relegation bother next year. The midfield is not creative, requiring a striker that can feed off his own scraps. Who will that be once he is gone? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely, I was (foolishly) looking forward to the season with a decent squad and a club legend with a penchant for decent football leading the way.

Guest chopey Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 Pardew's brief is to stay in the league for as little cost as possible I predict we will use the loan system to its full effect in the summer along with our top class youth system Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who will that be once he is gone? This is it for me where would we be without Cabaye and Remy this season? We've already lost one, very doubtful the other will stay. We won't replace Remy for less than £15m (£35m with wages) and we know Fat Ash won't pay that. I'm really worried for next season! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chizzletooth Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 I'll stick my neck out and say despite Pardews clear shortcomings there's no chance of us being relegated next season. We have enough real problems without folk constantly over egging it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
