Dave Posted April 11, 2014 Share Posted April 11, 2014 http://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/news/newcastle-boss-alan-pardew-ready-3402658 Alan Pardew is ready to come out battling after being written off as Newcastle boss. Toon’s season is in meltdown after losing 10 of their last 15 games, and shipping 11 goals without reply in heavy defeats to Everton, Southampton and Manchester United. Almost 90 per cent of fans called for their manager’s head in a poll this week, but Pardew says he has to take the flak on the chin, and show his strength of character in a bid to turn things around in the final five games of another rollercoaster season on Tyneside. He insists fans are right to criticise as he struggles to stir a response from his troops, and the defiant manager said: “You conduct a poll in the wake of getting beaten by Everton, Southampton and Manchester United, and it’s going to be pretty obvious what’s coming out of that poll. I have to accept that. “The point of being the manager of this football club is that you need to have a resilience about you. You need to be able to accept criticism, take it, come back and produce your best.” Even with their bad run, Newcastle are on course to achieve their goal of a top-10 finish, while at the same time balancing the books off the pitch. Despite that, the Toon boss knows his popularity has hit rock bottom with fans – just two-and-a-half years after enjoying a 95 per cent Toon Army approval rating when the his side was riding high in the table. Pardew, the Premier League’s second longest-serving boss added: “It’s difficult for all managers. "If you look at my own position, the job that I’ve done since I’ve been here – we’re safe in the Premier League but I’m under huge pressure and it’s been said a ‘dead man walking’. “It doesn’t go away in the Premier League. You really are living one six-game period to the next.” Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

r0cafella Posted April 11, 2014 Share Posted April 11, 2014 The man is hilarious to be honest. Its the worst Manchester united side in 25 years who best us 4-0 at home. A Southampton side which is mid table and a Everton side which hasn't won away this Calender year Which ever way you spin it Alan its shit Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest bimpy474 Posted April 11, 2014 Share Posted April 11, 2014 It's not even about other teams, it's about us. We are conceding goals galore, we can't score mainly because we create nothing. The football is awful and the players look like strangers. We are the worst team in the league right now, to watch and how we're playing, and that Alan is down to you, you utter cunt.

Mick Posted April 11, 2014 Share Posted April 11, 2014 Pardew: "It's been as tough a period as manager I've ever had." Wiki: In the 2006–07 season, Pardew was criticised after seeing West Ham through their worst run of defeats in over 70 years which included an exit from the UEFA Cup to Palermo in the very first round Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interpolic Posted April 11, 2014 Share Posted April 11, 2014 The point of being the manager of this football club is that you need to have a resilience about you. Nope. Not a chance mate. The point of being the manager of this football club is doing your utmost to make the club the best it can possibly be, and showing that you have the aptitude to do that with the performances and results you oversee, your comments in the press and your conduct on and off the pitch. The stuff he's came out with in the press the last few weeks is unforgiveable. Getting towards Joe Kinnear "AREN'T THOUSE GEORDIES FACKING THICK CANTS" levels of bullshit now, he's just being a touch more guarded about it. Detestable prick.

They've spent plenty. Where have they spent plenty? Here's a few from recent years that would give Mike Ashley sleepless nights. Johnson £8.5m Yakubu £11.5m Fellaini £15m Bilyaletdinov £10m McCarthy £13m They've sold some players for big money (after getting good use out of them) but the key thing is they're not terrified of spending what they have like we are.
