McCoist left rangers due to Ashley's involvement. Why would he come here? More chance of Keegan coming back.

 

Since when

 

He left coz the fans were getting on his back and results were shit

McCoist to Newcastle would make sense knowing what Ashley is like. Wouldn't help his hearing with the SFA about conflict of interest tho

McCoist Is an ex-mackem too. No thanks.

He's a good guy Ally. Don't really want him as manager but he's always been a top man in my opinion

Are we really going to wait until tmrws press conference to deny this? Can see this costing us the Burnley game. fans will be rightly fuming and down if is gets denied after yet more insulting silence from the club.

 

The hope is high though, coupled with the silence a few journos seemed to think this has more than legs..no update since it was broken though.

He's forced himself into a corner here. He probably wants it badly.

 

My worry is Ashley. He hates looking for managers. He might fight to keep Pardew and demand compensation way out of Palace's reach.

 

Since Pardew is on less than £20kpw then all he can demand is around £5m for the remaining 5.5 years.

 

I think if palace offer anything above £3m Ashley will bite their hands off.

Can't Ashley just reject it to keep his yes man in place?

 

No, not if they offer to pay his contract in full (which will be the £5m mark) he can just quite here and settle it in court for the max fee.

 

It's all about the negotiation now (if it's happening)

Pardew has a contract of employment. Surely he can buy himself out with Palace's money up to the value of his remaining contract salary? So Ashley can't demand 12million or something absurd.

 

Not sure if Palace are that flush though. As in, rich enough to buy his existing contract and pay him enough to make it worth his while to leave which would presumably require a lengthy contract too.

Picture in that article has Pardew playing with the number 11. Maybe he loves Gouffran because they are both shit with no end product and wore no. 11?

 

It's like a possessive parent wanting the child to succeed in his failed footsteps.

McCoist is on Gardening Leave though, paid by Rangers for the next 12 months and still therefore technically employed by them.

Only way to get out of it would be for Rangers to pay his contract up which they can't afford to do and if they did by way of a loan from Ashley would be under heavy scrutiny.

He's only managed in a pub league as well with a team that (prior to their fall from grace) had virtually zero competition.

And he's an ex mackem.
