ealingfox Posted 30 December 2014 Posted 30 December 2014 Very bad for us. Assuming Pulis goes to West Brom that's them staying up along with Palace. That leaves 3 out of us, Burnley, Hull and QPR for the chop. Will be very difficult to haul ourselves to the top of that pile when we're so shite.
Captain... Posted 30 December 2014 Posted 30 December 2014 This is exactly the kind of turmoil I'm glad we've avoided, so far, big fixtures for all teams coming up plus a crucial transfer window. I would rather have a manager in charge who knows the club inside out signing off on transfers in and out, than someone who has been at the club five minutes. New manager bounces can happen but normally when an under performing side sacks a manager nobody likes and is replaced by a well respected manager, all the teams are where they should be on ability, so they aren't really under performing Pardew and Bruce are liked by their side, West Brom and Palace will be on at least manager number 4 since the start of last season, it won't be new manager bounce but a here we go again feeling. We have no idea where this merry go round will stop nor the consequences, as long as Pearson is still on it in the royal blue I will be happy.

They've got a poor squad out of which Pulis managed to wring every last drop of ability last season. They're missing Jedinak and Bolasie for 3 or 4 games and certainly don't have the finances we do to replace/supplement them in January.As for West Brom I can't help but think Pulis is bound to fvck it up somewhere. It took Palace a long time to get going last season and he has about 8 fewer games with West Brom. Regardless as I said in another thread if we can get to 37 points we'll probably stay up. That's a pretty enormous IF given that we've only got 13 so far.

This is Pardew who couldn't get a talented Newcastle side to win for 8 games? He blows hot and cold a bad start and fans will be on his back. They will already be questioning his motivation, why leave Newcastle for a relegation dog fight? Pulls upsets people and players, yes he gets results but he is a massive arsehole and hopefully delicate little flowers like Berahino will wilt under his stern gaze. He will also want control over the transfers which is great at this time when the transfer window opens and he hasn't even seen his squad train.
fleckneymike Posted 30 December 2014 Posted 30 December 2014 West Brom pulled the trigger so early because of their final fixtures. In their last five they face Liverpool (h), Man Utd (a), Newcastle (a), Chelsea (h) and Arsenal (a). They need as many points on board as possible by then and have a 'nice' run of fixtures until then.
Russell sprout Posted 30 December 2014 Posted 30 December 2014 TalkSport were saying earlier Pards may have a long contract but he is not well paid. They even said Palace could pay more. A theory I heard about pardew at Newcastle and his long contract was that he had huge gambling debts owed to Mike Ashley,the long contract was by means for Ashley to receive his money back,and like above was an a average wage for the Newcastle managers job,Ashley would never sack pardew due to the debt,and had him in his pocket on a long contract,if he was to go palace and this theory be right(though il never know) I wonder if Ashley would come to a settlement Agreement??Again this is just a theory I was told about by a friend who used to be a journalist,thought I would share this :-)

Guest Col city fan Posted 30 December 2014 Posted 30 December 2014 I was thinking about this earlier. Given those already gone..Warnock and Irvine and Pardew seemingly on his way back to London, I rate Pearson more than any of them three. I'm not at all shocked to see Warnock and Irvine out of jobs. Pardew...I think has probably had his fill of Geordie abuse and lack of investment. But I'd take Nige over any of em actually. I can't see Pearson leaving, or the Thais sacking him.
Leicesterpool Posted 30 December 2014 Posted 30 December 2014 Not sure Pulis would stand for the structure West Brom have. Did he not have a hissy fit at Crystal Palace about transfers? Problem the same reason why Pulis is unlikely for the Newcastle job, who would want to work for Ashley.
LCCFox96 Posted 30 December 2014 Posted 30 December 2014 Can't read into it too much. We need to pick up our points and keep climbing the table. We are 1 win off survival pace and have shown indications we are willing to strengthen in January. We can hope Pardew will struggle at Palace and Pulis at WBA and Newcastle get sucked back into the relegation bear pit but its no use to us if we piss away points every time we play the Burnleys, QPRs and Palaces of this league.
Dr The Singh Posted 30 December 2014 Posted 30 December 2014 Pulis = wba Pardew = cp Next all we need is....... Warnock = lcfc
lestajigs Posted 30 December 2014 Posted 30 December 2014 its done okay for west brom, in the last few seasons
Crinklyfox Posted 30 December 2014 Posted 30 December 2014 Pulis = wba Pardew = cp Next all we need is....... Warnock = lcfc I do hope you're joking......

Again this is just a theory I was told about by a friend who used to be a journalist,thought I would share this :-) Newcastle fans told us the same story when we played them, Pardew supposedly owed millions in gambling debts to Ashley and was paying them off rather than getting decent wages.

mugshot Posted 30 December 2014 Posted 30 December 2014 Reports that Bruce is interested in Newcastle job!
Guest Col city fan Posted 30 December 2014 Posted 30 December 2014 Reports that Bruce is interested in Newcastle job! Isn't that about 72 hours old? How Hull are doing, I wonder whether Newcastle would want him at present?
mugshot Posted 30 December 2014 Posted 30 December 2014 Isn't that about 72 hours old? How Hull are doing, I wonder whether Newcastle would want him at present? First I had heard of it to be honest, didnt know it was old hat! About Newcastle, you can never put anything past Ashley and the decisions he makes.
ronnup Posted 30 December 2014 Posted 30 December 2014 Ashley will go for the cheapest interim then sell up and buy Rangers. May even have a buyer already hence the movement.
BlackburnClaret Posted 30 December 2014 Posted 30 December 2014 Good time for us to be going to Newcastle, just hope Cisse gets a ban. Pardew won't do a tap at Palace, they're well and truly in it.
Guest Col city fan Posted 30 December 2014 Posted 30 December 2014 First I had heard of it to be honest, didnt know it was old hat! About Newcastle, you can never put anything past Ashley and the decisions he makes. That's very true..
fuchsntf Posted 30 December 2014 Posted 30 December 2014 NP to go to Newcastle, and leads them to 8 top seasons.Returns to foxes, for some unfinished business.
Webbo Posted 30 December 2014 Posted 30 December 2014 Surely even if Pardew did owe Ashley money those debts won't go away because he's moved? If he's moved for more money then fair enough but he could have done that even if he didn't owe a penny. Don't see how it's relevant.
