The other side of that coin is he got us promoted at the first attempt and established us as a top 10 PL team for a net spend of minus £20m.

Depends which way you look at it I suppose.

Hardly established mind.

He righted the wrong of relegating you then did well in finishing 10th but I certainly wouldn’t say you’s are ‘established’ at all.

He’s done nothing out of the ordinary so far.

He’s a far cry from finishing 5th and getting yous to a uefa cup 1/4 final.
 
Nowt to see here really. We have lost to three of the teams who will finish in the top 4. We will finish between 10th-15th and job done for Ashley. Benitez will be off in the summer and the circus will start again.
 
Let them get on with it, man. They’re smitten. It’s hilarious.

That was in reply to @Mrjardine by the way, who’s exchange with a shop chanter has been deleted, presumably for the choice of words the shop chanter used.

MODS getting a bit heavy handed aren’t they.

Can you imagine how smitten they’d be if he manages to do what Pardew did. Yet that smarmy fucka was hounded as he wasn’t the big name they crave.

The best bit is the style of football imo. It’s awful and we all know an ex-manager who was lambasted, and still is, for they style he played there. Yet Bouncy’s is equally uneasy on the eye yet they’ll defend it all day long.

Pardew never got yous promoted either, but then he never got yous relegated either. Depends which way you look at it I suppose

Would you say employing Steve McClaren as manager, giving him £80M to spend then appointing him on the board of directors was a good move?

Anybody with half a brain could see it was utterly ridiculous and would end in failure.

McClaren had just got 85 points with Derby in the Championship before he went to Newcastle. His stock was high. He also knew how to win trophies in the North East and Holland.

Allardyce was there about six months and had them higher in table when sacked than they’d finished previous season but the fans were up in arms over his style of play.

Seems strange that they are pretty comfortable with 18% possession at home and waiting until injury time for a shot on target against a side from the division below.
