Minhosa Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 I don't think he'll walk out on that contract and I don't think Ashley will pay him off via sacking. They'll presumably come to some mutual compromise, but it'll be at least a few more games yet. Agree. I think we'll have to be comfortably cut adrift and in a very obviously perilous position before MA pulls the trigger. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye, I'm afraid that as long as your owner can look at the table and see that a win gets you out of the red zone, he won't push the trigger. So it'll take a few more games.

Wullie Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 4 of the next 5 games are Swansea (a), Spurs, Man City and Liverpool. I'd say we've reached perilous already. EDIT: Man City's in the cup, WBA (a) is the other game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minhosa Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 Surely to God he's not going to be stupid enough to let this get into the difficult fixtures before taking action? Woah there. Take a step back, a deep breath and then just think about what you've said. And who you've said it about. This is the guy that appointed Alan Pardew in the first place, the guy that appointed Joe Kinnear. Twice. Who appointed a casino pleb to manage our club and who renamed our cathedral on the hill after some god awful Donnay stocking brand. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vinny Green Balls Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 It would be utter madness to not see how delicate our position is, and how the likelihood of him turning it around is fuck all. I expect him to be here for a few more games Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TK-421 Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 Looking at Ashley reaction at the end of the match (not the lip-reading stuff), he looked like he was fed up of it, and seen enough. Hopefully this is it. As said above, we are in bad position right now, with difficult games to come. We will be truly adrift if he doesn't get rid very soon.

Specifically when 'anyone else' is people he doesn't like; ie Geordies and journalists. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlanSkÃrare Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 Those fixtures man This season will be such a fucking struggle. I really, really want to hope for us to score during that struggle and not feel nervous that we'll equalise during the final 15 minutes. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Varadi Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 Keys and Gray absolutely ripped into him on BeIN Sports, think everyone knows it;s only a matter of time now... what did they say? Keys talked a fair bit about our record - 5 wins in 25 games in 2014 being relegation form and said that Ashley wasn't really interested in the club and had just bought us on a whim but that if we can't shift the owner the manager has to go, the fans deserve better etc..

Twinport53 Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 I think Colback was more gutted that his miss meant the final nail in Pardews coffin. Because there is no chance he will be in the starting XI every week when the new manager comes in. Also can't wait to see Jack tested against top 6 central midfields.

Ashley is a gambler and we are only two wins away from mid table. Ashley is also proven to not really understand football. Does he really see a bad performance from an average one?

Beren Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 Whenever he says he's got a meeting with Ashley for serious talks, or words to that effect, I feel like it's a front and that he's as safe as houses. Hope I'm wrong obviously. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
