Pedro is the latest in line for a five-year deal.

Peter Beardsley.
Will he look like this in five years?
Peter Beardsley looks set be rewarded for his loyalty by being offered a new long-term deal at Newcastle. This is all part of Mike Ashley’s ‘long-term’ vision for Newcastle apparently, although I would suggest something different, and will do a bit later on in this article.
Apparently, Ashley has been impressed with Pedro since he returned to the coaching setup and is entrusting him with developing the reserve team squad for the next five years.

That may or may not be true, but I think Beardsley has got himself into a position now where he is one of Ashley’s men and will be treat with suitable loyalty from our illustrious owner. Mind you, a lot of people thought the same about Chris Hughton, and look what happened there! Anyway, regardless of my thoughts, it is another name that is tied down for the long term, something which appears to be a recurring theme at St James’ Park at this current moment. Could there be some stability on the horizon?

I’d like to think so, but with precious little evidence of that under Ashley, in fact in my entire lifetime as a Newcastle fan in fairness, I remain slightly sceptical that there could be a long term plan in place. It’s something I’m not used to seeing, so forgive me for being afraid of the unknown.

The closest we have come to stability in recent time has to be when Chris Hughton was in charge, but even then there was a lot of stuff going on that threatened to rock the boat, whether that be players scrapping with each other or rumours of sackings, the true path of Newcastle United vary rarely runs smooth. Hughton smoothed it a little with his pragmatic approach to the press, but deep down there was always something that was going to happen at some point. It’s the Newcastle way.

Keeping Beardsley tied down does at least give us some local recognition on the coaching staff, along with Steve Stone of course. My view on Pedro as a coach is that there can be nobody better to teach a player than one of the most technically gifted English players of all time. The fact he is a Geordie is a nice bonus, but it doesn’t really matter in the grand scheme of things.

Hopefully it works out for Pedro and the club, and hopefully Pedro learns the trade with one eye on the managers job, whether that be at St James’ Park or somewhere else. He is one of my all-time favourite players, so I natually want to see him do well. If he can do that at Newcastle then all the better!

Howay Pedro, get signed up man.

  3. Welcome MM13 🙂

    I’ve heard about Hughton/Palace. He is the bookies favourite now isn’t he?.I personally hope he doesn’t get it as Palace are really struggling. I want him to get a job that will give him the best chance of succeeding.

    Jay Jay – The pub you need is called the Red Robin which is near the ground. I’ve got your number and I’ll text you when I get there.

  6. Site loads beautifully on my Blackberry Toonsy – best I have seen – very quick, small files, direct to the info you need – but no sign in for mobiles apparent? May have been a deliberate choice?

  7. I’ll need a plugin I bet, or to configure it properly. If you click on an article and go to the bottom there is the normal posting setup (name, e-mail) but I’ll sort a login out aswell.

  11. I wouldn’t play Carroll if he’s not 100%, or we risk losing him long term, think this might just be mind games from pardew to give Wigan something to think about.

  12. Just had the same issue this side too – but I didn’t have it at all on my desktop – so it may be mobile posters – post then refresh to see it – I simply refreshed again and it showed – not to worry its not a problem that needs immediate attention – sure you’ve got lots to go on with

  28. Now then Dave – alls well mate – well apart from the fact we didn’t get our house finished in time to move in for xmas – second one we missed with our daughter!

    Got to say fella you hold the line unbelievably well with Pinnochio Cuckoostein – I think a lesser diplomate would have had diamonds inserted into his knuckles by now lol.

    Cheers for seeing through his bollocks the other night too – as ever it was appreciated!

  29. KK I wont be going anywhere if Worky wants me off it which I think he do’s he will have to ban me as im not walking away from a few good friends for fuk all.
    Yes I did make a donation

  30. KK when I helped set up .org I was going to sort out some commerce for the site – but on joining I was immediately uncomfortable with Cuckoostein, I also felt he was using me for his personal gain (a bit like he was using Toonsy – but speaking to him worse than a bog) so I held back – so when I said I was going to stay away for a while as soon as I came back he banned me for nowt.

    My opinion his begging bowl antics are all because he wants to earn money out of the blog and personal gain no matter who he shafts.

    He is playing the victim falsely again – watch out for begging bowl round 2 for site upgrades to counteract all of the Pinocchio led attacks…

  31. Batty have a bit of faith man 🙂
    Stardust sorry to hear that mate but it will be done sometime and you’s will have a lot more xmas’s together 😉 the thing that really gets to me is that I have allways had the feeling that he didn’t like me and and even so I can truthfully say I have never tried to do or say anything against him even when he was coming off with sly digs at things I said that were not the same opinions as his 🙁
    Oh do you mean that you re-edited things that he said 😆 I couldn’t work out why you would remove the names he called me to make him look better 🙂

  32. Dave I think this place will Kill off .org as soon as its public knowledge – Toonsy is.org now – Worky isn’t likeable – Toonsy is – the masses will follow him once .infos official!

      (Quote)

  33. That’s why I’m calling him Pinocchio Cuckoostein – he is mad as well as telling lies – I can’t believe he thinks that’s a reasonable excuse – lol

    I’d perpared a full summary of evidence, timed and dated and including transcripts of blog changes – I was going to post it on there – or I could have used it to ruin him – but this blog setting up will be like a stake through his twisted heart.

    Stakes through hearts are the only way to kill the undead though – think of your contribution to his pot as funeral expenses lol

  34. Batty / Dave – part of my case against him is the fact I was banned in April and the Doylum comment was in May.

    He hung himself on that one big time – and many others!

    Wonder how he will answer Daves question there and if he will twig on?

      (Quote)

  35. Stardy I just asked him how you changed it when you were banned a month before,
    I guess that will mean I will be banned now but im not having him say that I have lied.
    Oh I have just saved the whole page just incase he removes it

      (Quote)

  36. Good Lad Dave – my case summary is all about the same incidents too – all timed and dated!

    The thing is he has nowhere to go now – everyone will know he is a liar. I don’t know why he just can’t accept when he is in the wrong – a simple “sorry” would suffice.

    Imagine how I have felt for months of him telling lies about me – wanted to throttle him but also found it bemusing that he is so consumed by hate for something he made up in his head!

    He will either ban you or close the blog down – he has no choice really – he has been shown to be THE liar in all of this – I feel a sense of satisfaction that Justice has prevailed!

      (Quote)

  37. Stardy the way I live life is if I do or say anything wrong I normally just say sorry and try to carry on with life, and expect others to do the same. But just some dont have the balls to say sorry, but what makes it worse is when they try to turn it round and shift the blame onto the other person.
