I have been working in and around Barnet/Watford for a few months and last week I got chatting to the guy and girl behind the bar of a pub called the Orange Tree in what is a seriously expensive part of Hertfordshire called Totteridge Common where houses can sell for £6m and up. Look up houses for sale in Tottteridge if you want a laugh as to how the other half live. Apparently Joe Kinnear is a regular visitor to this particular pub and when he visits he's a complete tool according to the bar staff.
I'm no lover of Pardew but felt sorry for him when Ashley appointed kinnear in an attempt to undermine him - so good to see it's worked out like this
For me, Mike Ashley is in the same category as the idiots in charge of Hull, Cardiff and many others.
He has come across as an idiot, and does make a few stupid decisions that makes you wonder what's going on. But think about it properly he changed the name of certain things to Sports direct or something like that. This allows him to place money into the club himself via his other company. He might of got lucky in a manager like Pardrew but they are improving year on. If Lansdown changed the name of stands to either BSL or the Lansdown Stand would that allow him to personally sponsor the stand to an over inflated price to move more money into City? It's basically like legal money laundering.
Don't think there are many who knew what Joe did apart from making Newcastle look like a joke. They said his main role was to bring in players so I guess not bringing in a replacement in January to replace ur out going star player was poor business
So he could waste another £50m on achieving absolutely nothing and still taking the club ever backwards ? The way things are going he should stay in Guernsey out of the way
