Sometimes makes you wonder whether even a numpty like Charnley can see through this fraud.

He isn't employed to have independent thought.

I didn’t agree with the Pardew one was mental hounding him out like,5th and 10th under Ashley is better than anyone has done under him. I know the gripe with him was mainly his sucking up to Ashley 

Three main reasons Pardew was hated:

1) Licking Ashleys hoop

2) Terrible derby record

3) Living off one goal margin wins against shite whilst getting humped 3,4,5 or 6 nowt against anyone half decent

Forgive me, but given your username and avatar, I presume you're Swedish?

That come from Krafth, per chance?

It’s not from Krafth. This info is from a more influential first team player and is from the end of Mars when he said Bruce had lost the dressing room.

[Collage]

It’s March. In English, Mars is just a planet. Just trying to help. /Fellow Swede

Thought this was some kind of cryptic clue then realised you probably just mean March.

Yeah, In Swedish ”Mars” is both the planet and the month.

What do they call the chocolate bar in Sweden?

‘Mars’?

Lie after lie after lie!

From .com;

 

"I will never walk away - Only because he's only capable of waddling

I am not ready to retire yet - Why not? Surely he can't be enjoying himself

You dust yourself down - His standard go to quote that means less nothing

I have a thick skin - He doesn't

I will crack on to the best of my abilities. - That's what we're all afraid of

"I am lucky to be involved after 40 years - He's lucky to be alive looking at him 

I work hard, dig deep and get my rewards that way - Guessing he's talking about how he tackles a family bucket from KFC

"Maybe I don't have the vocabulary - He's an author with 3 published books

"We all want to get to the top ten. We want to try and win a cup - Has had our kindest cup draws for a generation and still hasn't got past a Premier League team

"We are not going to celebrate (staying up). - They literally posted a celebratory pic from the dressing room last Friday night

We all aspire to take Newcastle to the top ten. It is where players, me, and supporters want to be. That takes time - It also requires ability, leadership and accountability of which he has none

"We have not got the capability to change everything around in a transfer window - Or the dugout

At the top end of the pitch we are a threat - Before he got injured ASM was getting dropped and he still has no idea how to use Almiron

Geordies are the only people that call it Mars       Bar, most other people say Marsbar.

how many games in the 5th season did you watch exactly?

[Disco]

He’s genuine lowlife parasitic scum like Pardew, Carver and Kinnear were professionally and arguably worse personally. He’s a fucking liar, if someone you knew chatted shit at the rate this cunt does you’d cut them loose.

IMO anyone who defends any of them in any way that makes you as complicit as they are. 

Rewriting history to agree with the Talksport/lazy agenda that has built up around the club.

Absolutely disgusting.

Bruce doesn't chat shit, hims just not very good with his mouth words.

20 odd years as a manager, not a sniff of managing a top European or domestic club, not a single major trophy. Just hovering around like a manager with no clear identity of play or even trying to make a blueprint of his own style. A Fart bubble in the bath raises itself quicker than this frauds profile. 

Purely where he is because of his work as a player and "fergies captain" 

Thankfully a dying breed of football manager where one day, we will no longer have these types in the game.

(However for some reason I feel Rooney is the next "manager" to have a career based solely on their playing career and not their actual ability as a football manager) 

There are plenty of candidates to revive things. We've no guarantee that the likes of Rooney will be any good, but you can be sure he has a job in management as long as he wants one.

Plenty and can remember us looking great for the last few months too. Pardew had a 10th place and sure we were like 9th with a state of a squad when he was hounded out too. Incredible

You must have been watching completely different games to me. On the ball all we ever did was hoof it from the back to the opposition penalty area, Cisse and Ba had the first touch and hold up play of a pair of dismembered mountain goats and never, in the entire season, won the ball. Not only that, but Tiote and Cabaye were sat practically in line with the defence, so the second ball was a freebie for the opposition. Our game plan was very much to get the opposition the ball and see if they would let us have it back further up the pitch, despite not having a high press or even a half-way press.

Pretty much the only reason we finished fifth was the quality in the middle from Tiote and Cabaye and Cisse had the best 4-5 months a footballr can have, his shots that went in were frankly ridiculous.

How we got to fifth, playing the way we did, was a miracle, and it was despite how Pardew set us up and managed us.

[HawK]

The cherry on top, was the following season we played exactly the same way, and to some people's complete bafflement (especially Pardew's), the luck had run out and our position actually reflected how we were set up and the choices we made on the ball.

Even if the 5th was a fluke what about top 10 and then 9th when he was hounded out? Just shows we will never be happy really with any manager under Ashley. I loved Benitez  but plenty moaned about him too

Most people loved Rafa, every set of supporters moans about their manager. You can go on every forum barring probably City and Chelsea and they'll be moaning about their manager.

Top 10 with Krul, Debuchy, Coloccini, Santon, Tiote, Cabaye, Sissoko, Ben Arfa, Cisse, Remy, etc...that should have been the bare minimum. 5th was a freak but we should have been a top 7/8 side for the duration of those 3-4 years with that squad.
