Minhosa Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 I think he's on the ropes now. I don't. Kinnear undermined his position massively and now he's gone. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 He seemed rattled last Friday, Derby was a disaster and if there isn't to be another board appointment who do you think is going to be next in Ashley's sights? Why does anyone have to be 'next'? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ikon Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 I honestly think that if he still is as stupid as it sounded when he said that we're going back to "his basics" (like against Sunderland) then we will lose most games and then he'll be against the ropes. Unfortunately he'll have way too many games to lose before this happens.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why does anyone have to be 'next'? Because I think the atmosphere at SJP will become quite toxic over the remainder of the season. TBF we don't know how toxic it has been so far this season. I find it hard to believe that Kinnear's collleagues liked working with him, especially with him being the mate of the owner. I could imagine him giving it large due to that connection.

I meant within the ground. I think the team will struggle over the remainder of the season. Ah ok. Yes there will be no patience if we just limp through to the end of the season.

Tiresias Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 Think kinnear gone means he's won a significant power struggle and will probably be more strong in his position than ever. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 Don't be daft. I'm deadly serious. If we plummet down the table there will be pressure on Pardew and Ashley to do something. Whether it would result in him being sacked remains to be seen but it's better than drifting. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, everyone knowing that we are pretty much safe bar 3 pts it could get nasty... If people think hard, they can remember that this comment was posted just 3 days after NUFC had been totally outclassed by Sunderland... No wonder Ashley keeps taking the easy money - far too many NUFC fans are satisfied with crumbs and getting bent over.. You couldn't make it up.

Its hard to imagine us appointing a manager who everyone could get behind under Ashley. I have no faith in him getting anyone better. At least Kinnear is now, surely, out of the reckoning.

Happy Face Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 Now I have a chequered relationship with Alan stretching back to my time at West Ham. I had lost my father and was going through a divorce so it was incredibly difficult time for me personally and he didn’t give me permission to go to his funeral. http://www.thejournal.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/don-hutchison-gives-view-tyne-wear-6670477 Evil bastard Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sugoinufc Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 Alan is a coward and a yes man....afraid to loose his job or whatever... Starting Shola on top is SO FUKING DISGUSTING. He have had more chances the anybody else in the squad and he have not played a good full game for years...still we have to watch this donkey as our only/lone striker, jesus how fuking stupid can you be. He can't run or control the ball....he is pathetic, i almost feels sorry for him. How can pardew not see this....is he building our entire game on a loose ball falls in front of this big donkey and it somehow shovel it in....great tactics. that is a huge joke which i can´t believe isn´t being laughed at more in the media....maybe it is i have not seen it! Ashley is a huge C*unt but pardew does not have any excuses for playing Shola. I would rather he played obertan on top (for example) 1 have left 2 to go phew, I'm feeling better already!
