Kanj Posted December 29, 2014 Share Posted December 29, 2014 I'm sure Carr would have a say in it. Pulis would require a huge overhaul of our squad and would be completely stupid. By all accounts Ashley trusts Carr implicitly. It would be absolute madness not to consult him for ideas on who might be best equppied to get the best out of the players he finds, even if the only reason is to ensure their value increases. Just like I've always felt that Carr throws out 10 names for a player and Ashley sanctions the ones within a specific price range. I imagine the same is the case with the manager position this time around, a list of managers who Carr "rates" that would help maximize player sale value.

Kanj Posted December 29, 2014 Share Posted December 29, 2014 Mark Douglas: Here's what we know: NUFC insist it's business as usual and inside the club the trail is very cold. But in South London, Palace sources are telling people a deal is definitely a possibility. Business as usual :anguish: Local media, who have been banned left right and center for past few years aren't going to get an ounce of a scoop. The club won't comment until its signed & sealed IMO. Like they always do. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Varadi Posted December 29, 2014 Share Posted December 29, 2014 Can't see Pardew trying to back Ashley into a corner ending well, but then again he's basically saying let him go or he'll hang on until sacked in which case we end up paying out his contact anyway.

Teasy Posted December 29, 2014 Share Posted December 29, 2014 First time opening this thread in months (avoiding it has improved my mood incredibly!), and I am sure this will only end in heartache and disappointment whether in the form of Pardew staying (more smug than ever) or Ashley somehow finding someone even worse to manage the Club. As long as Ashley is in charge, I fully expect following Newcastle to continue to be the football equivalent of: http://31.media.tumblr.com/eb46548376e29712ebcc144a3c7a7f34/tumblr_n0g64stTft1rx1h2ho1_400.gif Back to hide over in Chat for me like.

Ketsbaia Posted December 29, 2014 Share Posted December 29, 2014 Is it wrong that I'm starting to feel more negatively about this happening? The compensation talks fill me with fear. If you told Ashley after the Stoke game that he could lose Pardew for free, he'd have gone. Now, though, he'll see that as a defeat. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you told Ashley after the Stoke game that he could lose Pardew for free, he'd have gone. Now, though, he'll see that as a defeat. Perhaps, but surely there has to be a compromise in the end? Pardew has told him he wants to go, acted like a cock (again) but this time to Ashley himself. Ashley can turn this move down if Palace don't meet the full contract buyout. But then what next?, he keeps a manager who's taken his loyalty and spat it back at him? Certainly wouldn't want to then sack him and effectively pay him to go to Palace and I can't see him wanting to pay him to do nothing while bringing in someone to replace him either.

LV Posted December 29, 2014 Share Posted December 29, 2014 Mark Douglas @MsiDouglas 5m5 minutes ago Whatever happens from here feels distinctly like Pardew & #nufc is entering end game. More on Chronicle Live shortly. Yes, the team sit a respectable 9th, won yesterday, 2 pts behind media darlings Swansea and and will in all likelihood beat Burnley at St James's the next day "end game", indeed.

Danh1 Posted December 29, 2014 Share Posted December 29, 2014 Would happily have Beardsley or Carver until the Summer if it meant getting De Boer but there's not a chance that we will get him. It'll be Beardley or Sanchez. And that is IF Pardew goes. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JH Posted December 29, 2014 Share Posted December 29, 2014 It's amazing how we suddenly become a 'massive club' at times like this. So we're not a midtable side then and our expectations aren't too high? Wish the media would make their minds up... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stifler Posted December 29, 2014 Share Posted December 29, 2014 So people are saying we are where we should be, ok fair enough. Does that mean Pardew can piss off now because he's taken us as far as he can? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
