    Are we really debating if Keegan can handle the pressure?! After his outburst when Fergie was winding him up and resigning from the England managers job while hiding in the toilets after a game it should be self explanatory. Shearer was also a complete joke as manager, joking and waving with the Liverpool fans while we were going down. Carroll was never worth £35 million which is pretty clear now. Harsh on Hughton but you can picture him being indecisive and a bit of a yes man, not his fault he's the quiet type. However things like this shouldn't be said in public by someone so high up in the club, he should keep a lid on it in future.

    Well, no, we weren't. Some were. Even on here. Those comments were more a reaction to losing a top player like Nolan and replacing him with a unknown frenchman. After all who is going to replace Nolan's goals.

    Alan Pardew

    GARETH SOUTHGATE knows one of the secrets of Alan Pardew’s success at Newcastle – he’s Mr Meticulous. Manager Pardew has guided the Magpies to an 11-game unbeaten start to the Premier League season and third place behind leaders Manchester City and Manchester United. The crunch now comes with visits to City and United, then a home game against Chelsea. But Southgate summed up the effect the unsung Pardew has had on Toon as “terrific’’. The former Middlesbrough manager and England defender, now the FA’s Head of Elite Development and a TV pundit, played alongside Pardew at Crystal Palace in the early 90s. And he reckons Pardew’s eye for detail has been key to him masterminding the Magpies’ magnificent resurgence. Pardew, 50, was sacked by West Ham, Charlton and Southampton, but Southgate said: “The past is irrelevant. You have to look at what he is doing now. The start Newcastle have had has been outstanding. “I know how meticulous Alan is in terms of preparation. When he’s not been in a job, he’s been travelling and put the time in.’’ Southgate, 41, is relishing his new role with the FA. He said: “There are a tremendous amount of good and dynamic people at the FA.” http://www.express.co.uk/posts/view/283401/Alan-Pardew-is-Mr-Meticulous-Gareth-Southgate?

    Alan Pardew

    Magpie's first XI: The Tyne's not a-changing Keeping virtually the same starting line-up is key to Pardew's success at Newcastle this season It was one of the late Bill Shankly's standard lines to reporters: "Same team as last season, boys." In the summer of 1966, he had a point: Liverpool had just become champions by using only 14 players, two of whom were reserve strikers who appeared only four times between them. In other words, the title was effectively won by 12 men. In these days of rotation and substitutions aimed at keeping large first-team squads fit and happy, it will never happen again, and the adage "never change a winning team" is out of fashion. Yet there is one Premier League manager who believes in the benefits of a settled side. As the tables based on our exclusive research show, Newcastle have made a mere seven changes in 11 League matches, including one run of four unchanged games. Alan Pardew's team started the season surprisingly well and have essentially stuck with the same team, which is unbeaten. From the side that played against Arsenal on the opening day, Joey Barton was transferred and replaced by Gabriel Obertan, and in attack Leon Best has taken over from Shola Ameobi. The back four and goalkeeper have started every game and Pardew believes this consistency has been an important part of their success. He told The Independent on Sunday: "It's certainly helped to have that continuity in the side, particularly the back four who have been outstanding together as a unit. They've developed a very good understanding with each other. Continuity is great for confidence withinthe team and that has definitely contributed to our good start. That said, our entire squad is of huge importance and against Everton, for example, where we had to make changes due to injury, I was delighted with the way other players such as Danny Guthrie came in and fitted seamlessly into the team." Where Pardew has tried to minimise discontent among the rest of his squad is by using a large number of substitutes, so that 24 players have made an appearance, however fleeting. It is very much a sign of the times that with less than a third of the season gone, every team has already used a minimum of 20 players. The starting point for our investigation was a suggestion that while the big clubs rotate players regularly,the struggling ones do not have the luxury of such options. As the tables show, however, that is not quite the case. While the two Manchester clubs, Arsenal and Chelsea make most changes – 31 so far in United's case – they clearly have the depth of quality in the squad and still win games. Arsenal and Chelsea have never named an unchanged side, United, City and Liverpool have done so only once. But the bottom three, Wigan, Bolton and Blackburn, have made more changes than almost anyone else as they seek a winning formula that has so far proved elusive. http://www.independent.co.uk/sport/football/premier-league/magpies-first-xi-the-tynes-not-achanging-6261498.html?

    But what if they don't sell it? They leave it until they do I presume.

    Was it Winston Bogarde that refused to leave Chelsea even when they were trying to pay him off?

    That he's worth f*** all? Righto. It's easy for him to say that now aint it. Wasn't worth f*** all when he was banging them in every week for us thats why liverpool wanted him so badly. Plus all that nonsense at the time about desperately not wanting to sell but andy handing in a transfer request etc is all proven bollocks then if these quotes are true. He did hand in a transfer request though. yeah but if these quotes are true then they clearly got the best deal they could then went to andy and told him "your sold" There could realistically never be any doubt that this was the case,Carroll still took the money over refusing to leave like,but no footballer ever stays where they're not welcome. The fact remains we didn't have to accept any bid though. This opinion always falls down when Carroll handed in a transfer request.

That when Carroll made it clear that he wanted to go all they were interested was getting the best deal for the club, not that I think they would have turned down £35 million in a lump sum anyway as he wasn't worth that. It was a good deal for all parties, well apart from Liverpool.
