Wilson Posted May 11, 2014 Share Posted May 11, 2014 Like I've said all along, he'll go nowhere as he met his targets, he didn't go last season and the fat man sees no reason to do it now. Stability init. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Collage Posted May 11, 2014 Share Posted May 11, 2014 That's it then. Confirmed he's staying. What I knew all along but you live on hope. Really can't be bothered to follow this joke of a club anymore. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

r0cafella Posted May 11, 2014 Share Posted May 11, 2014 I do think we are stuck with Pardew personally however I'm taking these media reports with a huge pinch of salt. It's these same journalists that complain mike Ashley doesn't speak that suddenly have sources close to him. Either way we will know more in a week or two Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Varadi Posted May 11, 2014 Share Posted May 11, 2014 This was always going to be the case imo - he's achieved the target he was set, and does exactly what he's told - why would Ashley sack him? Most likely outcome now is a disastrous start to next season and he'll be forced to ditch him some time before Christmas as relegation looms yet again.

Varadi Posted May 11, 2014 Share Posted May 11, 2014 One of the most depressing things is the thought that to Mike Ashley this has been a successful season. So every season can be like this one and he'll never get the sack. Just think about that for a moment Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LoveItIfWeBeatU Posted May 11, 2014 Share Posted May 11, 2014 http://www.express.co.uk/sport/football/475134/EXCLUSIVE-Mike-Ashley-set-to-back-Alan-Pardew-as-he-hands-Toon-staff-10-per-cent-bonus EXCLUSIVE: Mike Ashley set to back Alan Pardew as he hands Toon staff 10 per cent bonus NEWCASTLE UNITED'S controversial owner Mike Ashley has handed every member of the Toon staff a 10 per cent bonus for the club finishing in the top ten. By: John Richardson Published: Sun, May 11, 2014 And in a move which will infuriate many St. James' Park fans and impact on season ticket sales, Ashley is sticking by manager Alan Pardew. Even though he was close to sacking Pardew earlier in the season after a dismal run of home defeats Ashley believes that his manager has delivered the minimum requirement set out last summer - a top ten finish. Despite there being a concerted campaign amongst rank and file members of the Toon army to have Pardew removed Ashley will once again defy their wishes and back his under fire boss. Having decided to share some of the Premier League cash windfall for finishing either ninth or 10th amongst the staff which includes Pardew, the players and everyone else employed by the club, Ashley felt it would be wrong to get rid of the man who has made the generous payments possible. So Pardew leads his side out at Liverpool today with his immediate future secure and with the promise of substantial transfer funds to regenerate a squad which has lost 13 of their previous 18 Premier League games, including the last six. But he will be under pressure to deliver improved results from the moment the new season kicks off on August 16th. The fear for Ashley is that many fans dismayed by the decision to stick with Pardew, who in their eyes has become a boardroom puppet, will refuse to renew their season tickets. But as he has proved since taking over the club in 2007 Ashley is always prepared to tough it out and won't listen to public opinion. He has been the subject of protests and cruel chants from frustrated fans but insists on running the Tyneside club his way. Ashley is now preparing himself for another deluge of criticism after deciding to stick with Pardew. "The fear for Ashley is that many fans dismayed by the decision to stick with Pardew, who in their eyes has become a boardroom puppet, will refuse to renew their season tickets." Most season ticket holders will be on the 9 or 10 year scheme. They had to cancel their season ticket by the end of January. Even if they didn't and decided to cancel it later, direct debit payments for next season's ticket started in February. That being the case, NUFC will know how many season ticket holders have already cancelled. It would be very interesting to know how many people have cancelled their season ticket. Jeff Stelling said 16,000 a few weeks ago. That seems a very high figure. The family section of St James' Park gets bigger each season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LoveItIfWeBeatU Posted May 11, 2014 Share Posted May 11, 2014 How do you know how many are on the 9-10 year scheme? I don't but I'd be surprised if it wasn't the majority. The 9-10 year scheme spreads the cost of the ticket over the year rather than one big lump. It also fixed the price. The 9-10 year scheme was the obvious choice to take for someone who intended to keep getting a season ticket. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest reefatoon Posted May 11, 2014 Share Posted May 11, 2014 Fuck this club and all the cunts involved in it. Football is wank and I am done after today if this bastard hangs around. They haven't just managed to make me bored of a sport I have loved since I was a bairn, they have actually managed to make me not enjoy football altogether. We are a dead club.

Geordie Deb Posted May 11, 2014 Share Posted May 11, 2014 If this is true, there's our summer ruined. They just think a bit of pr spin in the week with Pardew looking remorseful, accepting some of the blame and sucking up to us with the promise of substantial funds to spend will have us saying righto we'll back off and wipe the slate clean ready for next season. Do they honestly think we are that stupid and gullible? I know we weren't born in Southampton so are clearly cerebrally challenged in the Padew way of thinking, but this crap should just make us intensify efforts to get shot of the useless smarmy creep. Bet they will start a cahrm offensive with the banned media to get them back on board and drop some of the negative reporting stuff. Hope the fans give him hell today so he dare not show his cowardly face to the public and hides in the dug out. Can't wait to see the banners and hear the chanting.
