BottledDog Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 Easy enough for me, win despite him, lose because of him. Project that to league finishing positions too. The best squad in living memory and people are conditioned to believe that current ambitions are acceptable. It wasn't long ago Newcastle were mixing it with the best, 3rd-best supported team in the country. Any lack of commercial revenue bullshit excuse is directly Ashley's fault too. Add up player sales, subtract player buys, factor in TV money and you can see this club is being bled dry. Voting with feet is the only way, my money's been going to a different club and will continue until the philosophy changes. Viva los Liones, Athletic! How do you balance us being bled dry with your assetion that we have the 'best squad in living memory'? Good luck with your new team btw. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spudil Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 Looks like Pareds got it spot on YET AGAIN yesterday External factors really are letting him down these last few games. Good to see him giving it to old people too, cunts. Like alex said good to see Pards getting the credit he deserves cause he's eating at the top table with the best managers around and he's eating some of them under the table. Jose lite? Quite possibly. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benwell Lad Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 Guess it's the best squad in living memory if you're about 15. .... or you need a convenient stick to beat the manager with occasionally. The great thing is you just turn it upside down and it becomes another stick to beat the owner and scouting organisation with. Two for the price of one - everyone's a winner.

The finances of a football club consist of quite a bit more than player sales, player buys and tv money. How about wages and the running costs of a 50,000 seat stadium for a start? It's fair to say that after his early cash injections Ashley hasn't continued to keep putting money into the club and that to some extent defines his ambition. But so far there's no signs that the club is being bled dry as you put it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hanshithispantz Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 It's that kind of stuff that Brett and Cajun will regurgitate for the next month. Unless Pardew continues his slump in form of course, in which case Cajun will be baying for his head again... Until he wins a couple of games.

Deuce Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 Pardew has shown he is more than a match for the very best managers tactically - good to see him getting the recognition he deserves in national newspapers. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 He desperately needs points from the next couple of games, we are starting to get dragged back into the middle clump of teams again.

I really can't see why Pardew's tactical nous could be called into question. He's a very tactical coach and has proven in some of the tightest situations against world class teams and coaches that he can mix it with the best. If I levelled anything against him it would be that he can be "over tactical" and I'd like to see a bit of the old Keegan "just go out and do the opposition" mind set from time to time.

He can stop the better teams twatting us (sometimes) and we look a better team at home going forward because better teams come to play and win, thus the game is more open. The real test of pardew is against poorer teams as that takes tactical nouse to break them down and he consistently fails to succeed in that. TRon had said all of this. So yeah I'm calling his tactical ability into question thanks very much. Until he can outwit the likes of Steve Bruce or Mark Hughes at SJP then he's simply not very good.

jdckelly Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 2) Sticks and stones break your bones, words they do no harm At first glance, it is hard to connect Alan Pardew calling Manuel Pellegrini a "fucking old cunt" with the entirely untypical Mapou Yanga-Mbiwa tackle which left Samir Nasri stretchered off, his left leg in a brace protecting what is believed to be a serious knee ligament injury. Yet the anger which rose in Pardew following the pedantically disallowed Cheick Tioté goal – a technical application of the current law even if it confounded the spirit of the game – surely affected not only Newcastle's manager but transmitted itself to his players at half-time. Nasri may now face months of rehab while his team-mates likely win trophies. With Mike Jones, the referee clearly unnerved by the abuse he received for disallowing Tioté's 'goal', merely yellow carding Yanga-Mbiwa, Pardew – suddenly turning sensible – immediately substituted the defender. Newcastle's manager should reflect that not only is swearing deeply undignified for a man of 52, but that his wholly inappropriate, cringe-inducing verbal volley at Pellegrini possibly precipitated Nasri's current plight.

Hanshithispantz Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 Bloody Cajun! He's a pest! So basically I moan when he isn't doing well and praise him when he is No, you jump over to defend him at every opportunity when he's doing well and tell everyone who still has concerns about him as a manager that they cannot possibly enjoy football and should probably pack the sport in. Also: "We win - LUCK! We lose - PARDEW!" As you can probably tell this has got to me Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I levelled anything against him it would be that he can be "over tactical" and I'd like to see a bit of the old Keegan "just go out and do the opposition" mind set from time to time. This season Pardew has done very well against the top sides (and managers), we ultimately lost at home to Man City and Arsenal but were well worth at least a point in both games, we deserved our home win against Chelsea and our away win at Old Trafford, and the home draw with Liverpool too. I haven't came away from any of those games dissapointed with the way we've set up and played (not to say I full agree with everything like), although some of the decision making mid game has been questionable. That's all good, but "Pardew has shown he is more than a match for the very best managers tactically" is the single thickest thing I think I've read this season How anybody can defend that with a straight face is beyond me, it's just complete shite.
