Usually I’m not one for getting out the bed sheets and writing protest messages. In fact, if anything, I’m all for giving plenty of time and a good deal of leeway for owners, managers and players to make their mark.
I’m not the hysterical type that makes pronouncements of doom at the latest defeat or because we didn’t whoop the arses of Sydney and Wellington in pre-season games or because the owner doesn’t run the club the way I want him to. But there comes a point when change has to happen, and somewhere along the line you have to make your feelings known.
That time has come for me now.
I was quite prepared to give this current crop of guys half a dozen games to get their act together. I was quite prepared to see if Pardew could get something out of them. After four games of the current season I’ve lost much of my generosity of spirit.
There appears to be no change in the direction we were heading in at the end of last season. What was clear at the time was that we needed about half a dozen players, and in positions all over the park, and a new game plan. Instead we got some useful signings on paper, some replacements for exiting players and a baffling decision to weaken our very suspect defence. There was also some talk about a new style of play.
I’m still willing to give the players the benefit of the doubt, although the rash of mis-hit shots and air swings by players when in very good scoring positions casts a few doubts about their technique and value, and the link up play is too slow and laborious for the Premier League, and there’s far too much room given to opposition in midfield, and defending leaves so much to be desired that … oh what the hell …? Everything is all ****ed up and unbalanced. Everything.
The guy that has to take responsibility for the way the team plays is Pardew (and Mike Youknowwho, of course, but he’s not selling and is hardly likely to sack himself). We all know our record for this year, so there’s not much point in rehashing it, and we all know about the Pardew Out chants. For me, it’s this that needs to be addressed.
The fans want Pardew to go. Another bad performance v Hull and St James’ Park will become as toxic a site as it was in the relegation season (and didn’t that start against Hull as well?). That toxicity will spill down from the terraces and affect the players. That cannot be allowed to happen; they are already a bunch of question marks running around like headless chooks, they don’t need more pressure on them. Supporting the club is all about the team and anything that gets in the way of that needs to be addressed as quickly as possible.
I’m all for a new approach, a regeneration, a reboot, with new personnel in charge. I doubt this is the best time to get rid of the manager, but when is? I say better now than risk a drawn-out battle with the terraces. That can only lead to frustration and anger, and will most likely have a negative effect on the players. A new manager at least gives the players a chance to be born again.
For the sake of the team, Pardew must go.

Just lifted this off the Newcastle united blog, thoughts on this guys?
HatemOrLoveHim // Sep 16, 2014 at 12:14 AM
Right so as you know I have been a poster for years and I wouldn’t deliberately try to feed BS to people. I have never claimed to be ITK and even in this instance I am not saying I know everything or the finer details of the deal but I am just passing on information that I have been told from the Batra brothers who are close to Ashley and again I stress they may be lying to me but I do not see why they would as I have known them for many years.
What they are saying adds up to why Pardew has not resigned and why Ashley doesn’t want to sack him but again I’m not saying it is all true. I also want to add that I have not met Ashley tonight and have met the brothers to ask if I can disclose what they have said and to get more information where possible. I am meant to be at an event run by Ashley next week which is when I can talk to him very briefly. Now that’s been cleared up let me tell you what’s up.
As everyone knows Pardew, JFK, Derek and Ashley are friends and have been for a little while. The stories that some users have stated are true that Pardew ran up debts at MULTIPLE casinos dating back to his previous jobs too and could not pay them back which is why Ashley offered him the job on the basis that he could pay it off while working and Ashley won’t have to pay much for a new manager.
I can’t type up everything as I will be here forever but fast forward to Pardews new contract. One of the casinos that Pardew ran up debts did indeed belong to mr Derek and when he left an agreement was made for Ashley to pay off Pardews debt with Derek so he can leave and have nothing left to settle with Pardew. Due to this and the other debts at the other casinos Ashley offered Pardew the long contract and here’s the important part
Paid off a portion of his contract UPFRONT to Pardew to clear his debts. So in essence Ashley has paid some of Pardews contract upfront which is why Pardew cannot resign as he owes Ashley and Ashley cannot sack him as he will lose the money he has paid to clear the debt and then pay for compo of new manager along with a higher salary and obviously some sort of transfer kitty.
Now they told me that apparently Pardew will be sacked very shortly even if he wins against Hull as Ashley wanted rid since May and they are working out a deal for the fee to be settled or reduced in Ashley’s favour so he does not lose much of his money that he paid out.
Ashley is considering cutting his losses because he dislikes pardew and more importantly newcastle cannot be relegated. A few players have actually had bust ups with pardew about his tactics and Ben arfa was not the only one. But the slimy man has got money to clear his debts and so will not resign unless he and Ashley come to an agreement. This is all separate to the normal confidentiality agreements. This is why he was not sacked after the Myler incident as Ashley would lose alot first sacking pardew then getting a replacement.
Now the latest is that they are to have a meeting some time before the hull game to discuss pardew leaving and Ashley is looking for someone with previous record of success. Now I am sure I have missed points off but it’s so long to type I hope the above makes sense and somewhat makes sense.
Ashley has paid Pardew upfront to pay off his debts! I have more info on Mbiwa which is related to another slimeball Colo and Ben arfa the poor guy but will post them later on if people want.
Ashley obviously is not stupid but as the four twirps were close friends, Pardew managed to get some of his contract paid upfront and Ashley thought this would be cheaper for him as he won’t have to pay more money to another manager plus compo and if Pardew goes, Carver and Stone are also gone. He has to then pay them two off hire two new people on higher wages then lose the money he gave to Pardew then higher a new manager for more money and compo and then give them a transfer kitty. That is one expensive deal!
13 HatemOrLoveHim // Sep 16, 2014 at 12:15 AM
To sum up again you don’t have to believe me and I’m not saying I know everything but for the last time I am passing on information that people close to Ashley have told me. I can take a picture of me and the Batra brothers if you wish so you can see I am legit and I am with them and know them. I can hold up a sign saying nufcblog rocks if you want proof that it’s been taken now and not in the past.
So believe it if you want or dismiss it that’s your choice but I just cannot believe what a bunch of muppets are at our club. The only way Pardew will leave is if he and Ashley come to a settlement but like I said he may be sacked sooner and Ashley will cut his losses as the EPL is worth more.
When I see him I will ask what I can and he could answer it or he could eat me but I can only try. I can take a picture again standing at his house with his security guards again if anyone wants to say I’m a troll or fake etc. If anything doesn’t make sense or you need any more information let me know and I will try and answer to the best of my knowledge as I’m sure I have missed something important off. It is very hard to type up everything and shorten it down so I’m bound to have missed something.
kIMTOON(Quote)
It’s an explanation, Kim. But if any of it is true, then can you see men like Pulis or Moyes even considering working for Jabba? The squad is lacking, but a good new manager could make it difficult to beat. I’m just getting worried that we’ll go for a laughable option – which is how I see Sherwood, Zola or Di Matteo (for this squad) or, FFS, Colo, who should be dropped or pushed to MF, not promoted.

Is MA leaving Pardew in place so he can sort a new manager? Pardew looks like he know he’s a gonner. All the usual names have been trotted out – even Colo (did he really have dinner with MA last season?). While I can’t see that I’m very wary of what he’ll do. Dennis Wise is starting to be seen around again 👿
Things have to change or relegation is a certainty. Pardew sets us up with no style. It’s all very chaotic. There’s no running off the ball, no midfielder pushing on and you can drive a bus between Willo and Colo. Disastrous.
I’d consider Hoddle with Ferdinand/Sherwood/Clarke as assistant.
georgio(Quote)
Haven’t posted for a while, but the situation at our club now is actually sickening. I can’t believe Pardew is still here after the form of the team for the past 12 months.
So many rumours about Pardew/Ashley’s relationship, so it’s hard to know what or who to believe.
But how are so many ‘experts’ in the game misreading this situation so badly? Staggering,
This is a team that is coached by Pardew not Ashely, picked by Pardew not Ashley, and motivated by Pardew not Ashley – or am I mistaking Pardew for Ashley in the dugout and on TV as manager of NUFC?
Fair enough – Ashley wanted to sell Debuchy and Cabaye when offers came in, it was for good money, many clubs have done the same in the past.
Arsenal sold Van Persie, did they fall to the bottom of the league? Will Liverpool post Suarez lose 18 of their next 23 games ?
Obviously not.
The hate I have for Pardew goes back 2/3 years when we’re – amongst other things – being out played by Stevenage, Morecambe and Brighton.
This man has no clue how to play football. Just listen to the best players he has managed at previous clubs. Tevez, Mascherano, Cabaye, Ben Arfa, Debuchy and probably Ba who go shifted out on to the left to b winger.
Now look at Colocinni, the guy looks totally disinterested in playing for Pardew any more – he also recently came out and said the chairman had “listened and understood” what had to be done, some might read that as an . I for once don’t blame Ashley as much as all those experts, and some fans do.
Pardew has shown he can’t manage good players.
To me, he looks like the type of manager that would prefer a Stewart downing over a Hatem Ben Arfa, or a Williamson to Yanga-Mbiwa.

So they’re due to play a player in the CL who has played just one game for them before…

Kim, the bit about Ashley going radgie when we got 5th is interesting – might not be true, but if there is something in it, it goes to explain this transfer window – Ashley might have shipped outBen Arfa and MYM at Pardew’s quest, but deliberately not replaced because he (mistakenly) worried that the squad might then re-qualify for Europa? F@@ked that decision up then.
GTE(Quote)
GTE If Ashley had an onze of sense he would get us in a good position first then tell Pardew to lose a game so we defiantly don’t qualify. It would make more sense than the dross Pardew dishes out on a weekly basis.
stem(Quote)
I just don’t understand where the wonga and virgin money has gone. The 9.9 million pound profit and the 18 million for future years. He also stands to earn 40 million this season and that’s not including the sports direct advertising and merchandising his making on top. We should have 2 more experienced players on top of that at least.
stem(Quote)
Kim thanks for posting.
Obviously we don’t know if true but it would explain 2 things: very he hadn’t sacked Pards yet and why he hasnt spent any of the new revenues. Sure he could be pulling the loan back but he could also have been hestitant to give Pards a lot of money to spend if he knew he was going to sack him. Might as well save it for the new manager (at least I hope)
MDS(Quote)
Stem, I agree – after the flurry of signings I fully expected MYM and Ben Arfa to go, but also thought that we would at teast get a credible CB, and even a forward in, keeping to our ‘model’ of no net spend. I’m nit sure if it’s as much as £40m spare, but it’s a lot of cash whatever – paying loan down? He won’t just keep it in the club and pay tax on it. The basic financial number in football is wage bill – big correlation to performance – and we’re left with the 16th to 18th ‘biggest’ wage bill, which translates into relegation fight. It’ll cost him more in January, and even that might not work.
GTE(Quote)
Absolute garbage that Ashley wouldn’t want us to qualify for EL at all. If we do again under him, we’ll play fringe/youth players or first team players who need match practice. Pretty much like Spurs did last season. We know the club won’t put many first team players at risk for cup competitions, at least not until the latter stages. And EL would be harder to win than the FA Cup or League Cup.
STEM
While I agree we should have some money to have invested over the summer, the account say where all the money has gone. And we know they won’t buy for the same of buying. I don’t get why people are complaining about the same thing all the time…we know Ashley will only buy when he feels the deal is good and he’ll wait for that time rather than be pushed into a deal he doesn’t want to make. That’s just what he does.
ToonDarnSarf(Quote)
TDS, that’s some statement mate, I presume he told you that like 😉
kIMTOON(Quote)
TDS – I maintained for the longest time that he aimed for top-10 and hopefully challenging Euros, and have been knocked on here for pointing out that that was a very good showing by our post-1927 history. BUT, letting the value of the squad by wages slide to 16th- 18th in the division and leaving us at least a senior centre half short suggests either that his ambition was lower, or that he’s prepared to take a he’ll of a gamble. I’m not reacting here to one game, but to the lack of options we have to cover injury of lack of form, especially at CB. You’ve seen the fixtures, and they make ugly reading.
GTE(Quote)
TDS – Ashley has fallen for the buy them cheap sell high formula. It’s all about money for him. Buy Cabaye for 4.5 sell for 20. Buy Tiote for 3.5 sell for 20. That’s the theory and it is very attractive. Unfortunately it only works very very occasionally – in fact once. Tiote is now worth what we paid and the value of the rest has plummeted. How a guy of his business acumen hasn’t spotted that yet is beyond me.
“we know Ashley will only buy when he feels the deal is good”. The guy knows nowt about football. How would he recognise a good deal? As for your statement that it’s all in the accounts – have you ever met an accountant?

Just piecing together what I know of Mike Ashley really mate. I think most fans try to imagine a fan in Mike Ashley’s position and therefore his actions just don’t make any sense, so they come up with all sorts of outlandish stories about him. What I think of is a ruthless businessman who is all about making money and doesn’t care too much about the personal aspect. Because that is what his track record tells me.
ToonDarnSarf(Quote)
GTE
Where on earth did you read that our wage bill is 16th-18th in the league mate? That would be pretty shocking if true but completely contradictory to everything I’ve seen.
Lacking a centre half…did you see my post about Arsenal earlier? They actually only have TWO centre halves really…although Wenger has played Chambers there sometimes, it looks like they’re very light in defence. They currently have Debuchy, Monreal and possibly Chambers out for their CL game, so they’re drafting in a youngster who has played once. At some point we have to trust the youngsters and maybe one of our youngsters is deemed better than MYM? Pardew’s call here…or at least it should be…and if he’s wrong, he has to pay the penalty…
ToonDarnSarf(Quote)
GEORGIO
He’s made a lot of money from signing and selling Cabaye, Debuchy and Ba. The likes of HBA, Krul and Tiote have all been linked with £20M+ bids before too. Which either shows that they were once very highly rated or just proves how full of **** the media are…probably both…
You’re dead right, he doesn’t know much about football. But these days there are bucketloads of stats to prove the value of players. So Ashley will have all of that information to hand and make a decision whether there is a good chance that the player he buys will accumulate in value.
For him, it’s all about the value of assets mate. A stable top-10 PL club with valuable players on long-term contracts, a promising youth team and with very little debt is what he wants. Boosts the value of the club and therefore the amount of money he could get when he finally sells…
ToonDarnSarf(Quote)
I’m going to have to put this into an article finally…I’m on holiday for 2 weeks from Sunday so I’ll find some time to do it then I reckon.
Basically the summary is that I see Mike Ashley as the ultimate capitalist, he’s a greedy c**t who would screw anyone over to make money. He also has the personal skills of a rotten turd and appears to have trust issues. It’s a pity he doesn’t trust someone with some serious experience and clout in the football arena, because he could have provided the money and business connections to really allow that person to drive the club forward. Instead he picked saps like Wise, JFK and Pardew.
Sadly, we could do better but we could also do worse…but this greedy attitude is in total contrast to the Geordie attitude and the reason that we all love NUFC. Well…for most of us anyway…there are still a few muppets who would still be complaining if we were playing attacking football, going for it in the cups but only getting CL football every so often…

I agree with Carragher. Which I don’t say that often to be honest! Whenever I see him disagreeing with Neville, I almost always agree with the latter!
Funny that Goofy is an example. His strength seemed to be his willingness to run and his engine, but he has gone off the boil pretty much since Cabaye left.
I said it yesterday, but I think there’s got to be a lack of confidence and moral within the squad. And I think that’s due to several factors:
1 – Ashley sanctioning the sale of key players without replacing them (notably Cabaye)
2 – Players not having faith in Pardew having a clear plan B or C
3 – Atmosphere within the fans being more negative than usual
1 is normal and happens with all clubs, it’s down to the manager to ensure that 2 doesn’t happen. If 2 does happen then 3 typically happens too.
Simple for me really. I think Pardew should be given more time since there have been so many new signings, but his position is pretty much untenable in my opinion if a large number of fans protest on Saturday. I don’t agree with those fans, because I think Pardew hasn’t always been dealt a full hand of cards, but that doesn’t change the situation that he’s in.
Get a new manager who the fans will get behind, and that will give a boost to the whole club. Simple really. Might not be the ideal choice but I think it’s fast becoming the only choice…
ToonDarnSarf(Quote)
GTE – in May the guardian did a comprehensive review of finances for season 2012-2013, when our £60m wage budget (down from £62m in 2012) at the end of the season, (ie including the full cost of the January signings, not pro-rata) was 12th in the league in which we’d must finished 16th.
I’m basing my assessment of us being something between 16th and 18th on the fact that our wage bill has clearly continued to shrink since then, having shipped out Debuchy, Cabaye, Shola and others, and getting rid of at least some of MYM’s and Ben Arfa’s wages, plus the others out, while almost certainly not paying the new signings as much as those they replaced. A high paid CB and CF would probably balance the wage bill. In 2013, several clubs were only just below our level of wages, those being Soithampton, West Ham, West Brom, mackems and, Stoke. Based on their transfer activity since June 2013, each of those clubs must have gone past us in terms of wages paid, which gets us down to 17th, then there is Hull, which also h acquired a fair few players from larger clubs who will be on decent wages. Even if two of those six clubs dparen’t spending as much as us on wages, that still leaves us, at the present time, in 16th…

Then it’s going to come down to when we are in clear relegation trouble – you could argue that we’re only two points down on ‘par’ so far, and that only Palace at home is a poor result (leave the Saints performance aside for this argument), in which case, what gets us further worryingly behind ‘par’ in Ashley’s Mind? Losing to Hull on it’s own? Losing streak up to and including Leicester? I can’t see him leaving it any further.

Alan Pardew will NOT walk. I’m telling you now I see this going the same way as Blackburn when Steve Kean subjected himself to pure hatred week in week out, and effectively ended his career as a manager. Kean was daft enough to think he could change things – Pardew is arrogant enough to think the same. The Venkys stuck with Kean, maybe in a hope that he would eventually get worn down by the fans and it didn’t happen.
I think Ashley will try the same before realizing he’ll have to sack Pardew – it’s whether that leaves enough time to avoid relegation or not, that’s the worry for me.

No class left at Toon, it breaks your heart to read that. Get well soon Jonas.

What the **** is all that about man?!.
Jonas goes through a horrific personal experience like cancer and our clubs support is to tell him to leave. Horrible set of bastards!!!!
I hope the players are at least supporting him!. He is a very popular character at the club. Hope he’s over the worst.

Told him to leave and go rest on an Argentinian beach while they pay him thousands of quid a week.

Got it. Well what you said is true apart from Mbiwa. Colo was involved with Ben 10 and again from what I’ve been told actually has more control over the team than pardumb. He has taken multiple team talks and helped picked the team and formation which is mainly why he’s always playing apart from being captain. When Ben 10 fell out with pardew it was also against Colo as both pardew and Colo had a massive go at him and yes it was getting heated and bordering on physical but he didn’t hit anyone. But yes Colo is essentially a player manager and holds most team talks. Apparently Pardew actually doesn’t have much control over much at the moment as Ashley like I said is in negotiations over sacking him.
I don’t care who wants to believe it and who doesnt but some parts seem true. I would expand more but I’m sure you get the point

My last post worries me a bit, if there is any truth in it . Don’t fancy Colo running things if Pards goes .
