It bugs me why Ashley is so obsessed with these ****e old English managers. I’ve never known an owner in the premier league hire Steve Bruce, Steve McLaren, John Carver, Alan Pardew & Joe Kinnear. Can’t remember if Sam Allardyce was manager with Ashley as owner or not? He’s such a boring ****er. Does he not look at younger managers who want to play exciting football and think actually let’s try this instead. He just goes back to the same old ****e. Are these managers just easy to deal with cause they rim him or what? It’s baffling.
They sinply do as they're told, kinda people happy to be a job and to receive some nice corporate benefits. Say if you wanted a guy to oversee some illegal waste dumpage, or manage an oil rig that clearly isn't following safety standards for quick cash. Perhaps you want to make 50% of the office redundant. These are the guys you'd hire
Can tell Ashley just isn’t a football fan. He’s probably one of those who ****s himself silly over Rugby.
Pardew is still our best manager for years. But I think the players and his own ideas about the club played into that. I recall a Pardew interview in which he said that on his first day, Barton walked right up to him and said he didn't believe he was good enough for Newcastle United. When the **** have we had a squad that passionate, or a manager made fully aware of the size of the job he had. No matter his many faults, I always felt Pardew saw himself as a small cog of a giant machine. Bruce sees himself as a slugger in charge of a club punching above its weight. The contrast is staggering
Howe and Benitez arent in for Celtic according to a BBC article. They went for Keane last time, i reckon he'll take the job.
Mike ashley is a billionaire that dresses like a newspaper shop manager, so that tells you everything you need to know
If this takeover doesn't go through which lets face it is likely. What is the end game for Ashley? I find these potential takeovers to be alot of smoke and mirrors bullshit to be honest. Ashley has been an 'active seller' for 12 years but yet we can not get a deal over the line. Obviously he is a **** and moves the goalposts, but I find it baffling how we are still stuck with him after all this time. Is an Ellis Short Sunderland type scenario the only way he goes? Going down and staying down? so that he is forced to sell for a reasonable price.
