Although I hate Pardew I'd still be disappointed to see him sacked considering how well he did last year. It would be just another example of owners not sticking with managers.

That may well be true but in Pardew' s case I would love it to see him sacked. I can't put my finger on why but I just don't like him at all.
I think he was a very good player for us. When we needed him as a manager we were all singing his name. The problem is that despite trying his best, he ultimately cocked it up. He didn't leave us for a bigger club, he was sacked -and rightly so. And this is from somebody who really hates managers being sacked. But do I hate him? - No I don't.

Thing is Mutts we all thought, as a former player, that he understood the club and our funny little ways.
Covering his inadequacies by saying we should get rid of Red, Red Robin and criticising us fans for applauding legends like Deano was beyond the pail for me.
It wasn't just that. Every week the Official Site had a bollocky excuse as to why something wasn't his fault.
Compare and contrast with: I picked the team it's my fault p'raps we'll do better next week or equivalent!
He is himself. He thought Red Red Robin wasn't the most inspirational tune and he saw Deano as an opponent who we shouldn't have encouraged. You may disagree, but I don't think these are things I think about when I think about him. More that he lost the plot and the team was rudderless for so long.
No reason to hate him though. I'm sure he did his best.
'i'm going to play my best team next game' - well, why the eff didnt you play it today then? after another loss - and then proceeed to continue losing.
Personally think Pardoo and the Geordies deserve each other!
I know what you mean. First time I went up there in the late 80's/early 90's they were chanting for either the manager or the board to be sack. And the second time I went up there. And the third too, I think.

Agree. Much as I feel contempt for him, I hope he dangles on the Geordie hook of failure and ruins the remains of his tattered reputation with a highly public and drawn-out abject failure, ideally sealing relegation on the last day of the season. Always love a video of blubbing Geordies.
The only downside is that once again they'd get every possible televised game in the championship next season. Got sick of that last time...
Do Newcastle mainly scout in France? Just signed 2nd French defender, maybe 3rd coming and an alternative French striker too after missing out on Remy.

It's Pardew that buys French isn't it ? Moots, Racon (born in France).
The reason why Pardew has a record of being a good manager in the short term is that he is only capable of thinking short term, except when it comes to his own contract. The only reason he has survived so long at Newcastle is that they already had decent coaching and scouting structures in place - it was just a question of time before they fell apart from neglect. I feel sorry for the Newcastle fans, who in my experience are among the most knowledgeable and passionate around - despite having had minimal success in recent years. The quicker they get shot of Ashley and Pardew the better.
Just watching Sky Sports news and Newcastle have given Sissoko, their new signing who has never played in England before, a 6 1/2 year deal. Am I wrong or does that seem like a very long time ?

It seems like not a lot changes up there.
