Varadi Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 "United will spend and probably be among the biggest recruiters outside of the top four – that is certainly the mood music from the Magpies’ board room." If this is true; which I doubt imagine wasting that money on pardew. Honestly this f***ing club man. I'd be surprised if we managed a 20m net spend. It will just be the same excuses over and over again. I reckon we'll just about spend the Cabaye money on 3-4 half decent players, lose Remy, Ben Arfa and Marveaux and Pardew will be falling over himself to tell everyone how brilliant Mike has been.

Dave Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 We'll sign a few players IMO. It'll be like this season never happened. What sort of nett spend are you expecting Dave? Would be amazed if it's more than 10-15 million. Yeah about the same, maybe up to £20m factoring in the Cabaye money. As usual it'll be a load of £3m-£6m gambles, with maybe one bid approaching £10m. Not sure how attractive we are at present. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

lovejoy Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 I agree with Dave. We'll spend, more than we have done in recent years. Won't make a difference though, the manager is a useless cunt. My prediction is around 7 or 8 will leave, and 9 or 10 will come in, with an emphasis on English. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest axel Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 I'm done. This is the nail in the coffin for my part. This isn't the club i love anymore. The club has become a pathetic scheme to increase Mike Ashley's fortune. Hopefully in a decade or so he'll be gone but i wouldn't count on it.

Unbelievable Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 Problem is in today's market 10 million is the going rate for a decent player at this level, and even then it's a big gamble. We need at least two forwards and two midfield players/wingers, before we even replace players that might (want to) leave. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest chopey Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 I thought this was an opportunity for a fresh start, new manager, new players, new way of thinking, but we are just stuck with the same old shite I'm sick of Newcastle this morning fucking crap Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LRD Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 It won't be anywhere near relegation. As much as Ashley revels in our misfortune, he's not going to tempt relegation again. Next season will be more of the same, hovering around mid-table mediocrity and early exits in the cups. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlanSkÃrare Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 This is what many of us predicted. No immediate threat of relegation, slow adaptation to lower expectations and targets, shittier football and shift to Pardew's transfer policy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't remember ever experiencing a window like that, much less under Ashley. Depends. Players like HBA, Marveaux, Jonas, Shola were considered first-teamers. Remy's surely gone and de Jong has failed to impress. And you have the typical fringe players like Gosling departing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlanSkÃrare Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 Again and again with this f***ing feeling of hopelessness.

LRD Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 Honestly don't know how people attend those things without flipping and just calling them all bell ends. The amount of bullshit they get fed Those people seeking to be a part of it, then sit there like meek lambs unable to get any intelligent replies to their questions and accepting what they are fed obediently.

Tisd09 Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 A couple of work colleagues (bear in mind I live in Swansea) have come up to me this morning and said "to be fair 10th is not a bad season for you" FFS this is what angers me, fair enough outsiders thinking this but some of our own fans think 10th is some kind of badge of honor. Look at that story of Brendan Rogers reading the Liverpool fan's letter, he didn't want to settle for CL he wanted to dream for the title ok they fell short but they punched above their weight and achieved more than was expected. The season we finished 5th even though at times some of the football was poor at least we had something to aim for to dream about. Even Pardew gave us a chance of a CL spot, if we had done that we would have achieved far more than we set out to do that season. I hate the attitude that 10th is ok, that it's something to reward. 10th is bare minimum not an indicator that we have had a good season. Rogers was telling his players by reading that letter out that he wants to achieve more, whilst Pardew spends the week before a big match talking about the gulf in class and spending power etc, if we are picked to play Man City at the Eithad at the start of next season I want a manager in place that goes there with the attitude I want to take something away from here, not the attitude of it doesn't matter because we are expected to lose anyway. 1st half yesterday showed the players are somewhat capable of putting in a performance that can cause problems for the opposing team, honestly I don't know how much of that was a plan from Pardew or the players stepping up their performance, but at least 1st half they was a bit of belief about our play. At least for 30 mins or so I forgot how much a cretin Pardew is an I quickly went from the attitude of I want Pardew sacked to I want to win this game, pretty much as soon as the 2nd half started the belief went again and was hoping that Pardew would do something to Dowd so that he would surely get sacked this time.

junkhead Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 So he's staying then. As long as THE FRAUD is here, I'm cheering for the opposition. Don't give a flying fuck what sort of a fan that makes me.

AyeDubbleYoo Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 I'll want to win games next season again, only hoped for losses because they started to mount up and we were already safe from relegation. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minhosa Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 My prediction is around 7 or 8 will leave, and 9 or 10 will come in, with an emphasis on English. Surely no way the turnover will be that big? I can't remember ever experiencing a window like that, much less under Ashley. Understand that point but there's quite a few due to go without even thinking too hard about it: - Jonas - Shola - Remy - Gosling - HBA - Obertan - Marv There's 7 without allowing for good bids or players wanting away (Debuchy possibly?) It's going to be quite the summer for changes I reckon. Just a shame the coaching staff and manager will still be here come August. My fear is we replace the bulk of them with english grafters like Colback etc. Edit - We're also too light on squad numbers so the 8-9 incoming that Lovejoy mentioned, has to be a good bet given those leaving.

Ste Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 I never want to see this club relegated again, even if it meant Pardew lost his job. The club is bigger than him and the man who owns it, Mike Ashley. We're a top flight club, I don't want to see us mixing in the lower leagues with that threat of getting stuck there forever being there. I hope that Ashley sells this club and it's then ran by someone with football in their heart. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
