I have a bet on southgate replacing Howe.... do you remember when I told you all Bruce was replacing Rafa ?
Pardew was a ****ing hilarious manager - sacked by West Ham for shagging players wives, relegated a decent Charlton team from the Prem and took them into the Championship bottom 3, headbutted opposition players with us and called managers ****s, gave Palace the worst calender league record of all 92 clubs, took an established Premier league West Brom team and turned them to total **** and got them relegated, won 1 game out of 8 with Den Hag and got sacked, then won 1 game out of 7 with Sofia and got sacked. Last seen trying to make a living at some Mickey Mouse Greek team, the guy is a ****ing walking disaster.
Newcastle are heading for 16th over the next week or two. I'm not sure if everyone realises the trouble we're in.
Unless something changes then probably, things should change when Botman comes back though, assuming the injury hasn't affected him long term. Get through the league cup though, and that puts a better spin on things.
Botman will not be great for months even after his return..he's for next season for me. It's all about the cups, but I don't think this side is good enough to win anything and even if the players are in games this manager will continue with his bizarre changes.
If we think we have to wait to next season for him, he's basically done, if he can't cut it when he comes back, we need to get another proper CB is Jan, simple as that. Stranger things have happened in the cups, Birmingham and Wigan etc, we were better than Man U last year, ans they managed to get the FA Cup somehow.
