Ranger gets ticking off for lateness

Newcastle boss Alan Pardew has warned striking starlet Nile Ranger to keep his eye on the clock if he wants to follow in Andy Carroll’s footsteps as the next Toon No 9.

 

Ranger, 19, was given a fresh chance by Newcastle after spending time in a young offenders’ institution and being sacked by Southampton for stealing.

 

But the England U-19 star, who signed a five and a half year contract in December, has frustrated Pardew, ­previous boss Chris Hughton and his team-mates with his casual ­attitude off the field.

 

Pardew said: “I’ve said from day one that he needs to sort himself out as a ­professional footballer.

 

“He is always on the cusp of being late. We have stopped him being late but he is still frequently on the brink. We have only improved him five per cent. If he changed it to 50 per cent and was on time he would get belief from the other players.

 

“The other players look at him and say: ‘you are a young boy and you have to learn’. And he does. We have given him big opportunities.

 

“I think he is going to be a player. He is close. But whether that is with ­Newcastle is down to him. He has talent and we have to try and eke it out of him.”

Hard to believe this lad seems still to be fucking every opportunity he is given.

Seemed to be a full, no holds barred article in the Sunday Sun about this. Seems Nile Ranger has all the talent in the world but just hasn't made full use of it by being professional. I personally think Pardew should shut up about it to the press and deal with it behind closed doors.

don't like him, never will. Imagine Ferguson doing what Pardew's done in the paper today towards Ranger. Fair enough he's a bit of a rogue, but if he needs disciplining do it in house. Don't slag him to the fans and insuate the players think he's an arsehole. That's really going to integrate him and get him going. Absolute doil of a bloke, perfect stooge for this regime.

so what he said is

"niles always on time?"

 

he's either late or he's not,

 

Aye.

 

He is always on the cusp of being late. We have stopped him being late but he is still frequently on the brink.

 

Soin other words he is always spot on on time. What's to complain about, was that why he was dropped yesterday, for not being early?

Aye. He's basically said the players think he's a cunt because he doesn't come in earlier than he's contracted to. Arsehole of a man. Pardew's psychology skills are laughable.

tbf it seems they've been dealing with this indoors for ages, and the lad is more interested in amazing tattoo's and gangsta walking than taking this opportunity. Could have made a difference yesterday off the bench and he'll more than likely be further down the pecking order next season. Now is the time for him to take his finger out.

Was it Pardew that sacked him at Southampton? I don't really know the full story behind that, but it could explain the constant public floggings and clear tension in their relationship

No, Ranger was fucked out before Rapey came in.

He'd rather be a Gangsta than a footballer, complete arsehole by all accounts.

Perhaps it might have been a good idea for the club to wait until he sorted his 'attitude' out before giving him a 5 year contract

You and your crazy 'planning'. Where would that get us? :(
