RandomGuy Posted December 9, 2010 Share Posted December 9, 2010 The long contract was probably handed out by Ashley to convince everyone that this is him finally settled on a manager who will be there long term Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BerwickMad Posted December 9, 2010 Share Posted December 9, 2010 I can only imagine that the 5.5 year duration of the contract means that it is stacked with get-out clauses for Newcastle (relegation and he'll be gone for free...). No lawyer would draft a normal Premiership manager contract that lasted that long, especially not at Newcastle! If they rid themselves of the dross like Alan Smith and Xisco, get the likes of Gosling and Ben Arfa fit, and stop signing foreign wasters for massive amounts... they'll have more than enough to stay up this season. Further forward than that, for some reason I think Pardew will do okay. Its been a good few years since thats happened to be fair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BerwickMad Posted December 9, 2010 Share Posted December 9, 2010 "[Newcastle are] one of the top five clubs in England" :lol: Pardew is officially mental. His whole press conference was designed to play up to what he thinks the fans want to hear, the myth he probably believes. However, outside the big four (Man Utd, Chelsea, Arsenal and Liverpool), Newcastle should be in that next group with VIlla, Everton, Spurs and the mackems.

Savage Henry Posted December 10, 2010 Share Posted December 10, 2010 Why did you include foreign? Some of their best signings have been foreign. And indeed, some of their biggest wasters British. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

arab_joe Posted December 10, 2010 Share Posted December 10, 2010 Its been a good few years since thats happened to be fair. Why did you include foreign? Some of their best signings have been foreign. Yeah, in fairness they've toned that down a fair bit... but even though the likes of Colocini and Jonas are good players, for picking up over £50,000 a week in The Championship can they not be considered wasters (or wastes)!? I was basically basing my assertion on the likes of Xisco and, from the days I remember well, the nonsense like Albert Luque and Hugo Viana. A long time ago, I know, but stick in the memory; many Premiership clubs were guilty, true, but something about the way Newcastle bought absolute duds I'd never heard of astonished me.

The never-ending delusion is incredible! Ashley is a fcuking genius to con so many so easily. Then again, it must be like shooting fish in a barrel. Either way, I'm starting to admire him!

Cameron Posted December 10, 2010 Share Posted December 10, 2010 Im going down to the game tomorrow, my first of the season. Sadly i bought the tickets two weeks ago otherwise i would not be anywhere near the place. Think the atmosphere and chants are going to be great though. Pardew, Ashley and Llambais can GTF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And Ayr United should be in the SPL, if you base your judgement solely on ground capacity and potential catchment area. ...Actually, no; even then West Ham, Birmingham and Citeh would be well above Newcastle. So why on Earth "should" Newcastle be up there? Because they were featured in the first "Goal" film? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're forgetting Notts Forest, the Bristols, Leeds, Leicester, Hull, Derby, Plymouth, West Brom, Coventry, Sheffield, Southampton, Reading, Northampton, Luton, Preston, Wolves, ...... all of which have larger or similar populations, and most of which have as big a football history as Newcastle.

shaft2 Posted December 11, 2010 Share Posted December 11, 2010 Top 5 was funny enough coming from Pardew but for it to come from BM proves what an utterly deluded bunch of c***s follow that club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So why on Earth "should" Newcastle be up there? Because they were featured in the first "Goal" film? I don't. I base it on a number of things. I should have put City in that group too but forgot about them. You obviously don't have a grasp on reality if you think City would be "well above" Newcastle, with their less trophies, also in the distant past. The fact remains, if you have the turnover that Newcastle do, we should be doing far better than what we have in recent years, certainly the past 5. Mismanagement has meant that Newcastle have failed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every single one of them with a domestic record worse than Newcastle, with fewer fans. Can't believe im even getting involve in a 'big club' argument with a bunch of mongs.

I didn't say they deserve to be anywhere. Everyone deserves to be in their current position. What was my ridiculous statement? I agree it is the biggest pish going, however its obvious their are 4 clubs bigger than the rest, then a group of similar sized clubs behind them. Quite a big group. Im amazed anyone thinks otherwise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
