What's the issue here? 4 minutes ago, ScouseFox said: tbf giving anyone who doesnt have a high resale value a contract any longer than 2 or 3 years is pretty nuts ^^^ There's one. Another is they have history of doing this and it going badly, Pardew for example. 36 is still on a bit, if they've replaced him due to a spiral in form in a year or 2, they still have 4 years left of him. It's a risk that didn't need to be taken. Especially as an unstable club Edited 24 October 2019 by UniFox21 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Langston Posted 24 October 2019 Share Posted 24 October 2019 People don't seriously still believe Pardew was given a flat eight year contract do they?! Guaranteed it was absolutely riddled with clauses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SystonFox Posted 25 October 2019 Share Posted 25 October 2019 No. He was given eight years. LADBible said so Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nicolo Barella Posted 25 October 2019 Share Posted 25 October 2019 Don't see the problem with giving Dubravka a contract like that, he's a comfortably PL level goalkeeper and I'm certain they'll have put relegation clauses into his contract. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leeds Fox Posted 25 October 2019 Share Posted 25 October 2019 11 hours ago, UniFox21 said: But giving a 30 year old a six year contract is ludicrous. How long will he be their number one for? Barring injuries, he’ll probably be good enough for Newcastle’s unambitious standards wherever they are during that time. He was probably already on £30-40k. Giving him a little pay-rise (clause riddled), will mean that Ashley doesn’t have to spend on a new number one for years now. If he had to go out and buy one in a few years, he’d most likely have to pay the same wages (if not more) to the new guy. Footballing decision - not great. Ashley’s money saving prerogative - sensible choice. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fosse93 Posted 25 October 2019 Share Posted 25 October 2019 Every time I watch Dubravka he seems to make a mistake. Don't rate him, personally. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well speculation was that the eight year contract was linked to an outstanding gambling debt that Pardew had and Ashley was paying off on his behalf.

Nalis Posted 26 October 2019 Share Posted 26 October 2019 Do you reckon our win will motivate Man City to go for the 10 goal record at home when they are thumping some poor relegation fodder?

Given that their next two games are both at home against a certain south coast side, they probably fancy their chances at taking that record from us pretty swiftly...

UniFox21 Posted 26 October 2019 Share Posted 26 October 2019 Goddammit, someone tweeting in about the rugby score into BT and them reading it out. It's on quietly in the background and my Dad heard it who is in the process of watching the rugby now. Why not warn people of the what you're about to say if its relating to a score of a big game?
