Stupid decision. baffling.

 

[cjwoolven]

I thought this was going to be a wind-up.... Unbelievable decision

That came into mind too when i saw this. Ridiculous.

 

[tottenhamseagull]

Pardew!!! 5/4 favourite to get it... Ridiculous.

Scrap that. Martin O'Neill 2/1 favourite

 

[Cheeky Monkey]

At least we can add his name to the list of potential Spurs managers should Redknapp move on/get the boot, and he would rank above 'wor Gus' in the managerial experience stakes.

 

[SirElliotBennett]

Shocking decision and shows the complete short sightedness of the club

This

 

[Tricky Dicky]

The bloke showed great dignity at all times, and was superbly loyal - and he is repayed like this. I hope he takes Ashley for as much money as he can.

This is more or less the same squad that went down meekly 2 years ago, and they are back in the prem, playing quite good football much of the time and look like being mid-table. What do they expect of him ?

 

[Joe Pineapples]

I am utterly gobsmacked. We deserve to go down with behaviour like this. Really not sure what to say. What a way to run a football club...

 

[Simster]

Pardew!!! 5/4 favourite to get it... Ridiculous.

Not ideal. You could see deserved relegation of course, but Pardew isn't going to do us any favours. In fact, he normally likes our players so the first thing he'd do is put KLL into their first team.

Mike Ashley is becoming more of a joke than Audley Harrisons boxing career

One of the few clubs I would worry about Poyet going to..Just my opinon.

Someone got there first

 

[Joe Pineapples]

One of the few clubs I would worry about Poyet going to..Just my opinon.

I don't see it myself, but having just cast my eye around some Newcastle fans forums, Gustavo's name is being mentioned. But I really can't see it. Martin O'Neill for sure.

 

[Sausage]

Disgusting. If was Toon I'd be up at St James' breaking windows.

 

[Tricky Dicky]

Is this a different Chris Hughton to the one in the other thread ?

 

[Joe Pineapples]

I don't see it myself, but having just cast my eye around some Newcastle fans forums, Gustavo's name is being mentioned. But I really can't see it. Martin O'Neill for sure.

Also, as an addendum, the official line from the club is: "Club said Hughton lacked 'managerial experience'"

So I wouldn't say that Gus has a whole lot more first team management experience than Hughton, to be honest. Rest easy.

 

[Mendoza]

how many people are outside St James Park behind the SSN reporter already?

it always amazes me how many people appear when Newcastle are on the news

 

[mejonaNO12 aka riskit]

QUICK QUICK

we need to ask JimboGRFC if Poyet is going there and when.

he is the fountain of all knowledge

it'd be odd if it was any other ground, but st james' is basically in the city centre

 

[Twinkle Toes]

They just never learn do they?

At least their all-new Saviour won't be under too much pressure to bring them their God-given right to success.

 

[Rookie]

amazing decision, does Mike Ashley not like going to Newcastle or something. Ridiculous, promoted team 11th in league and smashed their local rivals all done on a limited budget.
