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.

  1. Batty yeah mate I agree as im pissed of with worky snipeing at me every chance he gets. As I have said to him I have never said nowt to him on the blog that I wouldn’t say to his face, but I am 99% sure he wouldn’t say most of the **** he has said on the blog to my face.
    how come you dont have an avatar ??

  2. Aye Dave so true – always remember me on .com with you – I was out of order – but at least you never held a grudge afterwards – suppose with your background you accept things happen in war that don’t correlate to real life lol

    Cuckoostein still uses the .com days as a line to get folks on his side against me – but the truth has a resonance and it usually prevails.

    Got to admit its good to be back blogging again!

  5. I’ve been watching the whole game and you lot make one reference to the match on the blog….the rest is this worky bollocks…pity you cannot sort out your indifferences elsewhere…but I suppose it’s a free world…

  6. MM I can only speak for mesel but im on here so that I dont lose contact with people I enjoy a bit of banter with.
    As if Worky has his way I will be banned from .org just because I took offence to being tagged a racist, so it seems it’s much easier to ban me than admit that he was in the wrong and over stepped the mark.

  7. munich as for worky it was the last straw for me when he was tellin toonsy what too do the other day ,as toonsy runs the blog for him and worky tryed too make him look very small m8

  8. MM I can see 3 posts that I have made about the game and only 1 about the other stuff.
    As for sorting it out all had to be done was for Worky to admit that he was wrong a few days ago and it would have been forgot about. but no he just keeps threatening me with the Ban

  13. Got back for the last 10 mins – looked comfortable – Routledge has to make more of the positions he gets into – that:ll come – the basics are all there – to be fair it looked like there was only one option up front – Best – and he didnt reallly move to make space. Encouraging though and a big 3 points!

    Howay the Lads !!!

  16. Sorry Munich: but 😉

    Big Dave – Workys fell for it – he ignored the fact that the Doylem comment was a month later!

    Caught in his own web of lies! And he has confirmed when I was banned – but that too was a lie – think it was 4 or so mins earlier – need to consult my report!

    Anyway thats by the by now – he is making himself look a right ***, liar and manipulator to boot!

    Very happy we got all 3 point and it was really competitive match.
    I think Simpson is bloody good today and he’s full of energy that he can run all day and today Jonas had a good game too hope he’ll continue and keep improving.

    Nolan got me cracking when he jump out like a big child when Best had a shot. 🙂

  24. Toonsy – see Workys now announced he has decided to close the blog? Painted himself into a corner me thinks and couldnt find a decent way out – like apologise to Dave (if not me).

    “After all the recent attacks from Stardust, including putting up personal information about me online, I have decided to end the ‘blog anyway. I would say that it was nice while it lasted, but it wasn’t.”

    I said to Batty and Dave he would try and set me up as the reason for its closure – when really he has humiliated himself by telling lies. Including lies about me that have now been proven to be just that – and were done on ,org by Big Dave who dealt the death hand to him by telling he’d been found out – I had been banned for a month when he was alleging I was altering blogs.

    Funny old sort…lets hope thats the end of it and we can all talk just football and bollocks again…
