loki679 Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 Maybe we should try and put together something on the estimated transfer values of our players and how they've declined under Pardew. That would make Ashley take notice I would think. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr Venkman Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 Why is a high wage such a barrier for a manager coming here? Surely it would be compensated for by reducing transfer spend? His main priority is someone that won't give him any stick in private or public, I honestly think that's more important to him than wages. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LRD Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 Why is a high wage such a barrier for a manager coming here? Surely it would be compensated for by reducing transfer spend? The higher league position would pay for the wage difference itself iyam. And we'd get better football leading to higher marketability and revenue.

Wullie Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 http://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/newcastle-column-knee-jerk-toon-fans-1849087 remember when simon bird told us all we were knee jerk for wanting pardew out. He's changed his tune like Those urging Pardew to be booted out, appear to assume he doesn't understand the situation. Take of instance the lack of goals at set pieces that is being used as a stick to hit him with. United staff have looked at this and have a theory. They don't have enough big men to cause havoc. Their two biggest jumpers, Steven Taylor and Moussa Sissoko are marked up by the opposition's biggest. Newcastle believe they need a good third or fourth jumper in there to cause trouble. It will be a consideration when discussing transfer targets in the summer. Take for instance the lack of passion or work-rate during the Sunderland defeat. Think Pardew didn't notice that? He adjusted training last week to include some tough running drills for two days to sharpen up what was required. It worked for the first half against West Brom, at least.

KaKa Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 Tough running drills? Are you actually kidding me? This guy couldn't be anymore archaic. Disgustingly out of his depth. This moron is definitely one of those clowns that just makes players run and run and run, and then work on defensive shape and set pieces. Get him out please.

Guest firetotheworks Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 The thing that always gets me more than anything is, during that spell at the end of 11/12 when we were: Krul Simpson Williamson Coloccini Santon Tiote Jonas Ben Arfa Cabaye Ba Cisse And, at times, playing some lovely football and going on a winning streak that saw us to 5th, he didn't think "okay, next season, Debuchy for Simpson, a new player in for Williamson and Anita in for Jonas." Instead he thought, "this needs to change." I can't get my head around someone being specifically that stupid, at all. Not just at Premier League manager level, just at all. People that have never watched a game of football before would know to not change that set up and especially that front three/four. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TaylorJ_01 Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 Indeed, HBA/Cisse/Ba was among the best attacks in the league especially with Cabaye sitting behind. Guy's a fucking idiot. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Flash Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 This is a man who once claimed Shola was as good as any striker he'd ever worked with. The headline of the article was "Geordie Tevez". Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaKa Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 He's a terrible manager! He wasn't strong enough to tell Ba he would be staying on the left for the team's benefit, and so tried to play both him and Cisse upfront, which never worked. He then went even more boneheaded, and started playing Cisse wide instead of Ba, because again he wasn't strong enough to manage Ba. It's essentially been downhill from then on. Even with the start of a new season and Remy essentially coming in to replace Ba. He's never thought to go back to that formation with Remy on the left, and stick to it, especially as Remy has looked great on the left when he's played there. He's completely clueless, there's no doubt about it. I honestly don't know how he's a manager. He isn't aware of what works well for the team, and never learns from past experiences. He's just really stupid. Ironic that he keeps harping on about needing smarter middle class players, as he's the one that is very unintelligent.

Jayson Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 It was Ba wasn't it? Essentially put him ahead of our side it seemed & tried to justify it on the radio as "Footballs not about formations, it's about pass & move" etc I think. I remember people specifically asking him why he'd stopped the 4-3-3 & he claimed it wasn't that important. Essentially he ignored the obvious & thought he had insight beyond it that everyone else was missing. Then we nearly got relegated. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He also claimed that we switched between formations all the time and that we had done at the end of that season as well. Lies of course, we were always 4231 at the end of that season with players staying in position (apart from when HBA and Ba switched sides occasionally) and last season we never once, not even for a moment played with Ba left, Cisse central and HBA right. Not for one single second. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
