Abra Dubravka Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 Source is amiss right now, but swear I remember reading/hearing someone say that Ashley hired Pardew on the back of he wanted an English manager, and he(Ashley) wanted to play 442? Llambias wanted Pardew cos he was more 'Hollywood' than Hughton. And cos he knew him. Aye, Hughton had his writing on the wall after siding with the dressing room over the player bonus stuff right? I'm sure I heard recently someone said that Ashley wanted 442, and that's why Pardew was a fit. It's stuck in my mind though, the Ashley 442/English... remember thinking how obvious it was when I heard it, of course he'd want a 442! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
toontownman Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 Primed. Ready. He's coming.. https://www.lancashiretelegraph.co.uk/sport/19018258.enough-rest---mark-hughes-ready-management-return/ Pearson is likely the best we can realistically hope for from the bargain bin. Given his previous relationship with the club I can certainly see them calling on him until the end of the season. The problem with that is we need to always take the best of our worst picks then downgrade by four or five to approach where Charnley and Ashley will look. Hughes or Pulis would be horrific. Still likely thinking too high in terms of quality. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newcastle Fan Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 In a way not having fans in the stadium is a good thing for us, neither the media nor Bruce can blame the "deluded fans" for putting pressure on him when he is trying his best and was doing well, even though we all knew from the day he got appointed what was going to happen.

TRon Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 BBC: " . . . little bit of quality . . . difficult run of games . . . difficult against these top teams . . . something we have to learn from . . . we will keep working on it." Sky: "We are having a difficult moment . . . have to keep working away . . . it's getting that balance right . . . The one thing we have to do to win a match is to score a goal . . . have to be more creative in the final third . . .you will have tough moments if you're in the Premier League and in the bottom half. We have to dust ourselves down . . ." He keeps talking about the final third, or defence. I don't think he even understands what a midfielder role is. Pardew didn't see the point of midfielders either but at least he just played to his beliefs and wellied the ball over their heads at the earliest opportunity.

Still, what has Pearson ever done? Took Watford job because he knew he'd be paid out, or sacked.... Take Lee Clark - at least the little b****** might kick wor Jonjo in the teeth, teach him how to kick a bugger even if you cant catch him....

buzza Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 I could well believe it, just listening to him talk, or attempt to talk, let´s you know that there isn´t a lot of quality grey matter upstairs. The only thing that gives me an inkling of hope that we will get rid of him is that Ashley might wake up and smell the coffee i.e. see that his end game is disappearing quickly and will react to that... then again, from past form... I must be dreaming Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

GWN Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 Let's face it FMA and Cabbage head are a dream team in ineptitude. Make no mistake this will end up in disaster from my once proud NUFC. Bruce takes us down , we are stuck with FCB as takeover eventually never gets going. What a cluster fuck we are and it's about to get a whole lot worse.

The Prophet Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 I don't hate him as much because I'm in a different place. Under Pardew I was still invested, going to games and catching them on TV. I haven't been for years now, so it's quite comical to watch this fraud PFM his way through another season. It's like an extended episode of faking it.
