Christmas Tree 4865 Posted December 9, 2010 Share Posted December 9, 2010 Alan Pardew will have to see off a dressing room revolt when he takes his first training session as Newcastle manager. Pardew has begged Newcastle's furious players not to "resent" him after the stars held a fiery showdown with MD Derek Llambias on Thursday morning. In a nothing-off-limits, clear-the-air meeting, Llambias faced the wrath of senior stars who quizzed him on why Chris Hughton was fired and expressed bewilderment that he was replaced by a manager of Pardew's standing. That confrontation turned into an open shouting match, which saw Llambias accused of appointing a 'casino crony' who will simply be a 'yes man'. The row triggered a major damage limitation exercise by Pardew, who immediately held talks with skipper Kevin Nolan, and said: "It is obvious the players and the fans had a great amount of respect for Chris Hughton, and the fact he has gone has caused a stir. "People are upset about it and the problem I've got initially is with the players and making sure I get my message across with clarity and quickly. "I hope they don't carry any resentment towards me. I've contacted Kevin Nolan,and I will be speaking to all the players tomorrow [Friday]. It's been quite difficult. "I can't think of a player in the group that I've managed before, so I'm going to be something of a mystery to them. I have to make sure the players understand I'm a fair manager. "It's a tough challenge. I need to make sure there isn't a massive impact on the team. Obviously this week there has been an impact on them, and that is not good for any group of players. It's important I bring some stability back to the dressing room and calm their fears." Pardew will hold a team meeting and training session on Friday morning and is also braced for fan protests against the turmoil caused this week before Saturday's home clash with Liverpool. He added: "It is not something I want and I certainly hope it doesn't last too long. But if there is a protest for Chris in terms of a nice protest and fans wanting to show him their support then I don't have a problem with that. That is their right. "But I hope that anything like that is over with quickly and they start supporting their team. I hope the protest is channeled into supporting the team. It is not about me after all, it is about the club. And we are going to need a lot of help to get past Liverpool who have just hit a bit for form." Pardew signed a five-and-a-half year deal worth £450,000 a year, making him one of the lowest paid bosses in the top flight. However, there are big bonuses on offer for hitting targets including staying up and a wins target that, if passed, could earn him £1.5m. MirrorSport can reveal that sacked boss Hughton picked up a pay-off of just £125,000 from Newcastle - half his annual salary and the equivalent of around two weeks' wages for the top earning players.

Mac-Toon 1 Posted December 9, 2010 Share Posted December 9, 2010 (edited) I hope they fucking crucify him. Does he actually mean he hopes we don't show support for chris for too long? I hate how he refers to us as 'we'. Fuck off. Edited December 10, 2010 by Mac-Toon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Howay 12496 Posted December 10, 2010 Share Posted December 10, 2010 I hope he stands there while the entire playing staff gives him dogs abuse, I hope llambias got it in the neck in all the slimy cunt. I'll never get behind pardew simply because of the part he's played in stabbing a good man in the back I've no respect for the bloke at all.

Guest alex Posted December 10, 2010 Share Posted December 10, 2010 This must mean the players were playing for Hughton rather than for themselves Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nufcboy 0 Posted December 10, 2010 Share Posted December 10, 2010 "STARS"???????? We've got "Stars"???????? Who? A bunch of journeymen, some hasbeens and a couple of wannabees TBH Andy Carroll, Jose Enrique, Tiote, Krul to name just a few of our stars. Our team really is quite good I think, comparing it to some of the others in the league I think it ranks around the middle, which is where we are in the table.
