A lot of people run a race to see who is fastest. I run to see who has the most guts, who can punish himself into exhausting pace, and then at the end, punish himself even more. -

Haha it's truly unreal. I actually feel sorry for the Geordie fans - they didn't ask for this ****. Normally they're every bit to blame as the board - in fact often they drive the board's decisions, but this is utterly inexplicable.Thanks very much for being ‘This Mornings’ Farmer’Comment

I think the recent **** board followed by **** manager situation here has made it easier to empathise with their fans. Ashley's behaviour of late seems like some sort of cruel parody.Originally posted by Shaggy View Post"The man who never alters his opinion is like standing water, and breeds reptiles of the mind."

It's not that much worse than us having Roy Dodgson to be fair.

For once the players and fans were totally behind a manager under Ashleys ownership, then he does this.
I see some of these decisions these successful business men make and wonder....is it possible to get that rich in business; and still be stupid ?Last edited by Vermilion; 09-12-10, 12:33 PM.Comment

Newcastle United have appointed Alan Pardew as the club's new manager on a five-and-a-half-year deal.
Pardew - dismissed by League One side Southampton in August - replaces Chris Hughton, who was sacked on Monday.
"I am honoured and privileged to have been given this opportunity at one of the truly great clubs in English football," said the 49-year-old.
His first match in charge of the club, who are 12th in the Premier League, is at home to Liverpool on Saturday.
Pardew - who has also managed Reading, West Ham and Charlton - will be officially unveiled at a news conference at St James' Park at 1430 GMT on Thursday.
Former Tottenham coach Hughton led Newcastle back into the top flight last season but, following his controversial sacking, the club said it wanted to appoint a new manager "with more experience".
BBC Sport understands that Pardew, who is an associate of Newcastle director Derek Llambias, was in talks with the club about taking over at St James' Park as long as 10 days ago.
As a manager Pardew has taken charge of more than 500 games, though the majority of those were not in the Premier League.
"I understand what this club means to its supporters," Pardew added on Thursday.
"Throughout the football world people recognise that this is a unique club in many ways, with supporters who are second to none in their loyalty, passion and devotion for the team.
"I'm not a Geordie of course, but I'm a football person with a love of the game and I can assure you I bring great drive, desire and commitment to the job.
"Chris Hughton did a great job last season, guiding the club back to the Premier League, and he continued that good work this season. It is my aim to build on that now and take this club forward.
"I have always managed teams that have played attacking positive football, something I know the supporters here appreciate.
"At the same time I intend to focus on developing exciting young players through the club's excellent Academy and development squad, and I know the board here at St James' Park are very committed to that too."
Pardew joined West Ham in September 2003 and guided them to Premier League promotion in 2005, before being sacked in late 2006.
He then joined Charlton on Christmas Eve 2006, but the club were relegated from the Premier League later that season and after failing to get promotion in 2007-08 he left in November 2008.Thanks very much for being ‘This Mornings’ Farmer’Comment

Wonder why they stopped short of giving him 6 yrs, maybe they thought they better show a little caution.
