wykikitoon 20802 Posted December 9, 2010 Share Posted December 9, 2010 If you aren't on twitter, today would be a good day to get on, with no live coverage of the press conf (i assume there will be one). Live updates from journos potentially. Plus if everyone gets on, we can all follow one another, and in an emergency someone can issue a "Toontastic ASSEMBLE!" order. It'll be like G-Force. Go on, tweet that and start a trend! I have Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Park Life 71 Posted December 9, 2010 Share Posted December 9, 2010 (edited) Anyone know if theres any truth to the Hughton/Nolan fallout rumour, or the one about Barton flattening Guthrie in training last week? Think it ran for a day or two, but no truth in it apparently. Chk with Alex. Nolan and CH did argue after BOlton game.

I haven't heard the Barton/Guthrie stuff but I assume the Hugton falling out with Nolan stuff was made up by the club to weaken his position as it seemed to start when speculation about his job did.

Holden McGroin 6785 Posted December 9, 2010 Share Posted December 9, 2010 My best mate who I go to the match with has just sent me an e-mail on hearing the news. Or server has blocked it for going way over the point score on the language filter. Just unblocked it, and it's the angriest e-mail I've ever received. Post it up SLP!

NJS 4411 Posted December 9, 2010 Share Posted December 9, 2010 Just got an email from a lad at work who goes to every Charlton game: You have my commiserations you really do. I don’t know what the Geordies have done to deserve this. The man is a 24 carat prat (I would have used the c word but for obvious reasons didn’t). He failed to keep us in the PL when maybe he should have done, he not only failed to get us out of the Championship he took us down wasting millions into the bargain on nobodies and then he failed to even get the Saints into the play-off’s despite having the most expensive and best squad in League 1. The man is useless. Only got the job as he is mates with Ashley, they frequent the same London casino. Good luck, you are going to need it.

David Kelly 1260 Posted December 9, 2010 Share Posted December 9, 2010 Understandably a tough couple of days for many reasons, but I think some of the reaction is a bit over the top once you stop to think things through. I liked Chris Hughton because he was a nice guy, a decent guy, reminded me a bit of Sir Bob and was a breath of fresh and stability following the departure of Special K. I cant say Chris Hughtons style of football is this or that or he was showing signs of being a great tactician or any other qualities you associate with great Managers. Was he a good man manager or just a soft touch? Its well documented about the gang of four running the show. Did he have a vision? A Plan? etc etc Again I dont know. Yes Ashleys a cunt. Yes Chris could have had more to spend? Yes the pis poor squad didnt help our recent form? But again when I think of Chris the words Dignified comes to mind and while that was a breath of fresh air, at the end of the day its probably not enough. As an optimist I would like to think he could have grown into the job and everything would have worked out, but usually nice guys come last. A lot of stuff is coming out about the crap he had to put up with. Was it dignified just to accept it or should he have done what KK and most managers would have done. Was he a Yes Man. If it was Martin Jol or Martin Oneil getting unveiled tomorrow, most wouldnt miss Chris too much. Unfortunately its looking like Pardew. While thats a big Anti climax, Im not sure its leaving us worse off than under Chris, and it might even leave us better off. (Time will tell). But its certainly not something to boycott over or never go back, its just another chapter of many. I was more livid about KK and more livid about the renaming of the ground. I'll expect the usual contrary slavver but for the time being, Pardew will get my backing. The points about Hughton are all valid and I can't disagree with most of them. But they are all blown out of the window by the fact that it is Pardew coming in to replace him. He's done the job longer and not managed to do any better than Hughton has done so far. He's taken Charlton down (basically two divisions), he took West Ham on their worst losing streak for 70 years (while picking Mullins and Harewood over Mascherano and Tevez for christs sake) and by all accounts lost the dressing room at Southampton (even with a ten point deduction it shouldn't have been difficult to get that club into at least a play off position in league one). He's been sacked on the back of failure at much smaller clubs than this one yet somehow we are expected to buy that he is the man to move us forward. Nothing about this makes football sense. It only makes sense if you look at it from the fat cunts point of view of not wanting to pay anyone decent wages, not wanting to spend on the squad and wanting someone to go along with whatever he says. Pardew deserves no backing because (I for one believe) he's conspired with those cunts to get Hughton the sack and he lacks the qualifications to even maintain our current position let alone move us forward. The sooner he fucks off the better but much the same as with those two cunts in the boardroom, I suspect we're stuck with him while we see our club die on it's arse. Basically the point I was making. The over re-action of not going anymore isnt deserved in this case. We are not replacing KK with Pardew or Sir Bob with Pardew....Its Hughton with Pardew. Im not excited one iota by Pardew but like all other managers, with me he'll get his chance to live or die on his own merits. My point is he has no merits. Souness had merits and you could see a reason to appoint (however misguided it was) him when Robson was sacked but to anyone who cares about this club Pardew offers nothing. There are plenty of managers I wouldn't have been excited by but I with Pardew I am honestly disgusted. He's an appointment of convience for the fat cunt and nothing more. None of this will stop me going, the bitch I married couldn't manage it and the fat cunt won't either but I will be vocal in my digust of what he is putting us through. My point it looks like he's going to be the next manager of Newcastle United and as such, that position should carry some respect. Boo Ashley by all accounts but anyone who boos Pardew on Saturday, aint a proper fan in my eyes. p.s. Hope your missus doesnt read this. Well I'll be happy not to be a propper fan in your eyes mate. The position used to comand respect until it was taken up by this spineless cunt who isn't being brought in to move us forward in any way other than to get the fat cunt his money back. You can't tell me Pardew doen't know why he's here. He maybe a shite manager but he's not a gibbering idiot. p.s I hope the fucking whore is!

David Kelly 1260 Posted December 9, 2010 Share Posted December 9, 2010 I've been forced to put my predictions on a signed document on the office wall to make sure i can't change my mind when "pardew goes on a winning run" My Predictions for the Future of Newcastle Utd FC. 1. Alan Pardew will fail miserably resulting in relegation. 2. Sunderland will win the away game by 2 goals. 3. Andy Carroll will be sold on by the start of the next season (at the latest). 4. Ben Arfa will not be signed permanently. 5. At least 3 from the following list of players will be sold/hand in transfer requests before the start of next season. - Jose Enrique - Jonas - Coloccini - Kevin Nolan - Joey Barton - Steven Taylor - Cheick Tioté - Fraser Forster - Tim Krul Signed -Ant You don't need to be mystic Meg to forsee that mate. You can add regular sub 30k attenances to that list as well! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
