Will he be a Newcastle player again by the time this one reaches 1000 pages?

In before the lock. LOLZ.

Once again a master class in planning from our owner. Keep Pardew and let his number 1 transfer target go to another club without even putting a bid in.

We can but hope that the first part of that proves incorrect.

Problem with that is that it may well have Pardew's number 1 target but we all know he's got very little to do with player recruitment. If he doesn't like that he can walk.

Who are other comparable "jumpers" in world football that we could attract? We need more "jumpers".

Yaya Sanogo is going to Arsenal but he's French, a free transfer and tall. Shame.

Better than signing him TBF.

Haha... there was a crazy italian/geordie bloke called 'Frankie' who rang TotalSport last night raving about him, and saying we should be in for him instead of Carroll, as he's going to Arsenal for nothing.

No interest in Carroll all of a sudden despite Pardew waffling the opposite all season. Effectively we're attempting to save face as we can't get him. Newcastle United beaten by QPR for Remy, beaten by West Ham for Carroll. Add to that we've still got the worst manager I've ever come across following The Toon. Can it get much worse? Probably tonight, if he is to get another chance. Thoroughly depressing.

Ian W · « **Reply #17 on:** Wednesday 22 May 2013, 04:32:37 PM »

Beaten by West Ham for Carroll? Are you serious?

Worst manager since you started following Newcastle? Can't have been that long then?

With the squad he's got to hand he is easily the worst. Week in week out it is plain awful to watch. Can you tell me of any game plan apart from not to concede. European quarter final second leg he actually says we'll contain for 70 and then come out for the last 20. 3-1 down before the game kicked off. Incredible.

Been following them for 45 years Mr Unbelievable.

I can't believe that someone think we are even worse than the relegated season.

I've only been following since 2004 and I've seen much worse tbh

My memory is s***, but I feel like the team that went down was more capable of putting passes together that could lead to a goal. I don't know if the stats back this, but 1-0 deficits didn't feel like instant losses.

Ian W · « **Reply #24 on:** Wednesday 22 May 2013, 04:51:18 PM »

It is probably the worst league finish compared the quality of players in the squad, in theory at least. Not that that tells the whole story.
