Dropped the Mrs off at work an hour ago, had talks port on in the car, they claim their sources say Pardew to Palace is all but done and it's about to be made official.

Must say this has surprised me, when the rumour picked up last night I just couldn't see why Pards would leave Toon for Palarse.

They said he has a house real close to their stadium. But implied that he really just wants to leave Newcastle rather than really wanting to be their manager.
 
All i can promise is i will do my best. I know football is like a religion up here and you/they are the best fans in the world. Their support is second to none and they deserve to win something soon. I'd like to be the man to bring that trophy to the Geordie faithful, who are the best fans in the world.
I wont say too much about my plans for the team, but i will say Hatem is in them and thats all I'm willing to say at this moment to the lads on the Gallowgate end. Where i once stood and saw Super Mac and Alan Shearer bang them in for the best fans in the world.
Without giving my hand haway i will honestly say goal keeping is not my strongpoint but no stone will be left unturned in my search for and bid for Buffon, who is the only keeper that is good enough to stand in front of the Geordie masses.
If mike goes, I dont really mind, as long as i get paid off.

Haway

I'll drop it in to the training ground tomorrow whilst I'm walking the dog.

I'm even prepared to fight my way through the mewling and puking Geordie sprogs who will inevitably be cluttering up the pavement.



I'm assuming 40% of all future earnings right?
 
Christ what would happen if brucey ****ed off in the very near future? We don't even have an assistant manager to step in for awhile?
 
Crystal Palace[edit]
Pardew moved to Football League Second Division side Crystal Palace in 1987 for a fee of £7,500.[2] In 1989, he helped Palace win promotion to the First Division after beating Blackburn Rovers in the play-offs. The following year, in 1990, he scored the winning goal as Palace memorably beat Liverpool 4–3 after extra-time in a thrilling FA Cup semi-final at Villa Park. He then played in both the final and the final replay as Palace lost to Manchester United.[2]

Why would he want to go to Palace?

This and he's a local lad; it's not rocket science. Deal not yet done but highly probable

Too many folk writing off Ashley's cranky thinking - he would have Bruce and once in the supporters would get behind him - for a while, as always!

I was thinking 50% but have it your way, your obviously more experienced at this than me. I've only gorra give a weeks notice so when shall i tell my current employers?
 
The sackrace shows the next Newcastle Manager odds as :-

Tony Pulis 4/1
Steve Bruce 5/1
Ally McCoist 8/1
Tim Sherwood 8/1

I cannot see Newcastle wanting Steve Bruce as their next manager, with all that foreign talent in their squad I am sure they would bring in a higher profile European manager.

Things move fast in the Premiership managers game.

You're now 25 - 1 behind Patty who has said he'll move the entire franchise to Texas and Mr Hat who had offered Mike a job lot of poodles.


Is your current job a rolling contract?

I'd hang fire for a bit if I were you.

Until they lose one game then they'll be calling for his head.

Thank god we dont have fans like that.
 
If you want to have a laugh about this there's two words - Ben Arfa.

All this time he's been waiting for Pardew to leave, and when it happens their first choice to replace him is another manager he won't get a game for thanks to doing a disappearing act.
 
He'll go to Newcastle. And I don't blame him, considering some of the ****s that support us.

Thanks for everything Bruce.

<laugh>

You know, I was literally just wondering how long it would be before some of the poodles started blaming the fans who criticised Bruce...

Surprised it took so long.
 
On talk sport earlier it said pardew was one of the lowest paid managers in the premier league at Newcastle on 500k a year. Palace offered double this with huge bonuses
