Interpolic Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 The Mag sounds more and more delusional and in bed with the club, which is astonishing because the club hierarchy doesn't give a flying fuck about them, but I'm sure are lapping up the free goodwill spouted by these retards. Come on man, it's a FANZINE - can't believe people are making this mistake over and over again. Anyone can write for them, same as here. Nobody speaks for the fanzine.

sempuki Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 He says we are after 3 or 4 players in the Summer (which we of course won't get but in reality we need about 6 due to the lack of investment). We will probably need 2/3 forwards, a replacement for Cabaye, a central defender to replace Colo and we need a back up keeper too imo. These numbers don't include outgoings. What a mess.

Wallace Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 I hope that he is not seriously considering reverting to long ball after last week's disaster and that it is just the journalist's interpretation of his comments based on the last game. It is patently obvious that having signed all these "technical" players that few of them are suitable to that style. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is patently obvious that having signed all these "technical" players that few of them are suitable to that style. We reverted to long balls after the Norwich game, it will be interesting to see if he moves away from it. I would go as far as to say that my only interest in today is how we try to play and maybe seeing one of the kids get some time on the pitch. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leazes1986 Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 Party-line Alan Pardew should take leaf out of Kevin Keegan's manual 8 Feb 2014 09:30 Newcastle United manager's claim that Joe Kinnear produced "good work" in an ill-fated eight months the latest of a list of staggering statements Share on print Share on email Alan Pardew has a copy of Kevin Keegan’s autobiography on his bookshelf in his office at the club’s Benton base. However, Keegan’s superb book must be gathering dust because at the moment Pardew is talking like a bloke who must have flicked through it and looked at the pictures. This isn’t an article comparing Pardew to Keegan, far from it, but if he wanted a rough idea how to deal with the supporters on Tyneside, he could do himself a favour by putting the Sunday Times down and picking up “My Autobiography” by Kevin Keegan. Not for the first time this season – and in the aftermath of Joe Kinnear’s departure as director of football – he said something ridiculous in his pre-game Press conference ahead of the clash with Chelsea today. In a staggering statement about the man who was placed awkwardly above his head just eight months ago, Pardew said: “I’m just sad to see anybody lose their job, as Joe has. “He did a lot of good work here. But that decision was the board’s decision.” This after he said following the win over Chelsea earlier in the season: “This win is for Mike Ashley and all our fans. Trust me, he is a fan and I’m pleased for the club. We are all Newcastle fans.” In a season in which Pardew is thought to have been irked by supporters branding him a “patsy”, he does little to help himself when it comes to addressing the club’s fanbase. Instead, he continues to deliver corporate jargon and dish out the party line. His opening gambit at Newcastle, uttered at a time in which the Toon Army were up in arms after the sacking of the popular Chris Hughton, came straight from the handbook. Back in December 2010, Pardew said: ‘I’m not a Geordie of course, but I’m a football person with a love of the game and I can assure you I bring great drive, desire and commitment to the job. “I have always managed teams that have played attacking, positive football, something I know the supporters here appreciate. ‘At the same time I intend to focus on developing exciting young players through the club’s excellent academy and development squad, and I know the board here at St James’ Park are very committed to that too.” Even if Pardew was against Kinnear’s arrival eight months ago, and you could argue that he should have been given the ex-Wimbledon manager’s trolling on arrival, it didn’t show. Pardew said: ‘It is very simple for me: if Joe can persuade Mike to invest in the right manner, then that will be the best outcome for us. ‘As well as we have done in the transfer market, there is always room for improvement.” Only Newcastle haven’t improved their squad with any permanent signings, Pardew producing a very similar line this week when stating: “It is important that we do that in the next three or four weeks with the board and start targeting the summer.” The pressure told on Pardew at the end of last season with a quote that left Ashley furious when he said: “We know we’ve got an uncomfortable conversation regarding the form this year, the underachievement that’s been mentioned and everything else. “It’ll be uncomfortable for us both, because we’ve both underachieved. “Him as an owner and me as a manager.” Yet Pardew, just like he has after three successive spineless displays against Sunderland, survived. Of course, any manager who is sitting on a six-year contract is unlikely to bite the hand that feeds him. Sadly, though, it appears that answering some of the valid questions of the supporters comes a distant second place. For a start, his comments instantly raised question marks around Kinnear’s “resignation” this week. Newcastle were quick to put out the party line that Kinnear had resigned, but sources close to the club suggested he had been summoned to Newcastle and told he had to go. Talk of doing “good work” at St James’ Park is laughable – that’s fair comment. Kinnear has achieved nothing at Newcastle in either of his two stints as boss, unless laying the foundations for relegation back in 2008-09 is classed as “good work”. We all know his involvement at United is a by-product of his friendship with Ashley and, after bouncing ideas off each other over a pint, Kinnear must have convinced the Toon tycoon he knew where it was all going wrong. Ah OK, if Kinnear is saying he could improve a club of Newcastle’s stature, despite his part in relegation five years ago, then he MUST be right! Only anybody worth their salt would have been able to pick up his CV to see that the man who left both Luton Town and Nottingham Forest in a worse position than when he arrived and did not get a job after Newcastle the first time despite declaring he was “fit as a fiddle”. Yes, without a doubt, Pardew’s words are irritating Newcastle fans at the moment. But then he has to say it. Don’t forget this is a week in which Pardew has been overruled a couple of times by his Press officer when trying to give fans a bit more insight regarding the Yohan Cabaye sale. The reason for that being that the Press department will be on the end of a sharp phone call if something appears in print that the current board don’t like. Where once the game plan was to advise Ashley on what might be a good thing to say to at least keep the punters happy, now the media department – spearheaded by Wendy Taylor and Lee Marshall – appear simply to do asthey are told and when they are told to do it. And there isn’t a PR degree or course out there that will change that. Of course, it is up to those above them, like silent administrators Lee Charnley and John Irving, to offer some support. Although that isn’t forthcoming and, just like Pardew, it is their role to release what comes from the top – whether they believe it’s a good idea or not, and regardless of how it leaves the paying punters at St James’ Park feeling.
