TBG Posted August 4, 2014 Share Posted August 4, 2014 Aye it's a cynical ploy to net some of those lost or questioning their attendance after Cardiff. That event was far more effective that some give credit for Yep, credit to NUST for organising it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ikri Posted August 4, 2014 Share Posted August 4, 2014 Plus, it's hard to attract the right new players when you openly state that mid-table is your only aim. Make it clear that the club barely gives a shit about the league and we'd end up with a team full of overpaid mercenaries again. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gallowgate Toon Posted August 4, 2014 Share Posted August 4, 2014 At least it's a statement of positivity. I fully expect it to have been completely contradicted before September 1st, though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yorkie Posted August 4, 2014 Share Posted August 4, 2014 If the club has ambitions of Champions League football, the guy would've been outta here nearly two years ago. Doing business to ensure we have 18 players every match day isn't going to convince me that something has clicked since May and, all of a sudden, the board wants to behave like a competitive football club. We'll obviously be nowhere fucking near. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ikon Posted August 4, 2014 Share Posted August 4, 2014 “One thing the manager has said is that he wants us to be hurting teams and going on the attack.¨ ¨ If we score a couple of goals then we won’t sit back and we’ll aim to push up on that.¨ Wor Jackie!

Ikon Posted August 4, 2014 Share Posted August 4, 2014 Then we need to sign some more good players Alan, and after that you have to kill yourself so that we can get a good manager so that we can compete for the CL spots with some luck. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mattoon Posted August 4, 2014 Share Posted August 4, 2014 Thats amazing drivel, even for Pardew, he's outdone himself with those quotes. Of course once the season starts or they've sold enough season tickets it'll be back to "can't compete" "mighty West Ham" "Leeds/Portsmouth" "sovereign states" bullshizz again.
