Bloody hell, didn't realise people were that anti-Pardew 

 

He must have been tragically  bad then

If you didn't realise than may I suggest you've not been paying attention

Arsenal fan (Not the RTG in peace type) who's lived up north near Gateshead so love Newcastle too. Very capable manager chased away by fans who didn't appreciate how poor the squad was and by players with a shocking attitude who have since been shipped out. So happy to see him land on his feet at a big club with a huge transfer bounty hopefully. His English is far better than the media would have you believe, Good ebening's aside, he was easily able to communicate what he wanted to say without the use of a translator.

 

I will say though, seeing how some of you dislike defensive football that he's not the most aggressive manager. We had some shocking games with 20-30 shots against, but that was also possibly because of players possibly not playing for him. But he has a 'pragmatic' attitude which Tets also has.

 

Still, he easily outmanaged Tets in the Europa League game. Easily a top manager imo, and probably the best you can get with Dummett and Shelvey still in the squad. I think I can easily say that he'll have you top 6 in a couple of years if backed with money and if you survive relegation (Big ifs coz you guys look dreadful currently)

I'll take Howe in light of the situation.

 

But I mean, is the man himself enough to galvanise the fanbase? I hope if he does come in he can do something but he's up against it more than say an emery or Fonseca (rightfully or wrongfully).

That’s a key point being missed I think, the new man has to lift up the whole stadium which has been like a morgue for years.

Without the knowledge that we fucked it  up with Emery I think Howe would be a solid appointment short term, even if him having money to spend does worry me. 

 

Long term I would hope we would go with someone more adventurous than the former, though.

Didn't rodgers get sacked by reading before living off the work martinez did at Swansea..  he never looked like the boss he does now.

I’m sure he was in a relegation battle with them in The Championship the season we walked it.

Good watch on Howe, even if you're not a fan.

 

 

 

Funny seeing Solanke in that thumbnail. Seemed a bad purchase at the time, but he's really starting to come along now. Was just a bit too early for him at that  stage.

 

I'd find it easy to back Howe to be honest. Seems a decent and genuine guy that is a legit student of the game. Could easily see him come in and do really well, especially if we sort all other areas of the club so that he is supported by a top notch DOF setup.

Charnley would struggle to recruit for McDonalds staff. If he was involved then no surprise. 

Would explain why everyone is rejecting us

[SUPERTOON]

Hopefully they leave it till Monday see how Everton do against Spurs and go and put a bid in for Rafa

I’m reference to Solanke he is only coming good now because he’s in the championship.

[Superior Acuña]

The problem is we've got a bit of a Nuno situation now. I'd have been fine with Howe, I think many would. But now he's clearly coming in because we were knocked back in a bit of an embarrassing way. The players and fans know that. If he does well it'll be forgotten, but feel like it makes it easier for things to turn if there's an early bad patch.

Got sacked by Watford the year before too.

Scenes when Rafa is sacked a week after we bring Howe in.

I honestly really couldn’t care if it is Jones until end of the season and we go down.

 

the real future starts on n the summer no matter what division we are in

What a weird take 

[Kid Icarus]

I just can't see Howe taking it for some reason.

All part of his development I think. Think he has improved a fair bit since. I think they'll be coming back up under Parker and so next season we'll see how he gets on. Think he'll continue to look far better than he was first time around in the prem. He was a big prospect as a youngster and I think the hype of that big money move was a bit much for him especially after he started off so slowly getting a first goal.

Not if he's reading this thread ?

We really don't need to do all that. Fonseca seems like he really wants it as things stand 

 

There are managers that want this job. Think we're just being a bit too cautious with prioritising prem experience, but it's understandable I guess thanks to Bruce having us in the bottom three.

 

I think they should take a bit of a risk and get the Fonz in. He just seemed to get it. The guy apparently even had plans of who to sign ensure survival for goodness sake. 

 

 

It was more in reference to the handling of Emery. If we had perhaps said 4yr deal when can you sign, things might have turned out differently. So you're saying Fonseca would sign 18 month deal with the possibility of being sacked as the club persue a long term managerial target?

 

I think most managers are not necessarily going to be keen on a short term project, including Howe, or Martinez. I'd guess someone like Lampard might take a short term role?

[The Prophet]

It will be concerning if we don't get someone in shortly mind. I trusted the process as much as anyone, but a process implies all eggs weren't in the Emery basket and we have other options to fall back on.

[SUPERTOON]

Don’t we have to announce who’s doing the pre match press conference by the end of today ?

[HaydnNUFC]

Athletic saying it won't be Fonseca.

Judging by comments on here (mine included) and elsewhere I have seen, then that is certainly not going to be Howe

This would be the only reason not to get someone in before the weekend. If it ends up being Howe 10 days into the international break it will have been such a waste.
