The Guardiola pizza. Pretty boring, very effective at emptying bowels and loads of homegrown ingredients mixed with only the best from elsewhere.

I dont understand why people expected us to start acting like this extremely professional football club once pardew had left (for whatever reason)..as if it was literally just pardew that was holding us back. There was a poll on this board not very long ago which asked which was the main problem with the club, ashley or pardew...with the vote pretty much split half and half, honestly couldnt understand it. Well anyway, pardews gone and his replacement is not only someone who isnt as good as him but, judging by some of the quotes, who seems to idolise him (slight exaggeration, but still)

Still worried about us going down this year. Weve been pretty fortunate so far.

also, not having a go at people for disliking pardew and wanting different, more having a go at the attitude that i mentioned earlier. He may be smarmy or whatever (headbutts) but he isnt the sole reason we are in this middling situation or the reason a lot of our fans are descending into apathy. All this talk of us getting de boer or someone equally promising just seems like pure fairytales..i may be wrong...but on top of is being an ambitionless football club, it also may seem to outsiders (not saying i agree with this whatsoever) that we hounded out a competent manager. I dont expect us to bring in anyone of any great caliber, we may end up with a promising foreign coach that will bring hope of decent football but they will still be restrained by ashleys business model and it could all end in disaster. My one hope is the increased tv revenue brings some sort of fresh impetus but we all know that will be constrained as well.

also, I like john carver, bur he shouldnt be our manager by choice.

So, after all that, in essence you're in the Pro-Carver Camp....:emoticon-0152-heart
You'll find us a happy bunch, we get our meds regularly and we're not a load of miserable gits like the Anti-Carver mob.
A double welcome back.....

Being serious for once, I don't think anyone thinks that Carver should be anywhere near the Managers Office, as a cleaner, never mind being the person picking the team.

But we're stuck with him for now, so the way I see it, we may as well get behind him until the end of the season.
Ashley will always be the bigger problem for me, no matter who is in charge.

The new TV deal will be interesting when it kicks in, in 16/17.

Ashley wont get any extra income until around May 2017, but, you can more or less guarantee that the other clubs will spend big in the summer of 2016 and gamble on staying in the PL at the end of that season. They will be raising the bar and to retain the status quo, Ashley will have to spend money or the flirtation with relegation and loss of revenue will be a real threat. I actually think the TV deal could be a nightmare for him rather than a means of guaranteeing bigger profits without spending.

Good points mate. Maybe that is when the wheels come off. Im sick of walking these tightropes in just having enough quality to get by, just having enough cover to see us through. Its a bleedin war of attrition out there and its got to come to a head sooner or later, likely with us trying to be stingy when sorting out this cb situation..or god help us if cisse goes and we need to buy goals. To be fair , we buy some good players, but it still so much hit and hope.


and god help us with this manager situation
