The Barclays Premier League Thread 2014/2015

Newcastle are a laughing stock again.

[The Lusophone]

Well it's kindof worked for Swansea and Garry Monk..

[TCO]

Newcastle are a laughing stock again.

Hardly, getting £2mil for a manager that should've been sacked many times in over the past 12 months.

Colo would be a strange one and it'd be different to Monk in the sense that he'll also be playing every game. Still I'm pleased with the Pardew going and getting compensation in return, I'll wait and see how this works out.

[Arjen Robben]

Can't really knock them for taking the first chance to get rid of a manager who, alright, has done okay lately, but who the fans still hate, had a disaster 6 months or so from last christmas to a few months ago, and who has an 8 eight year contract. They're actually getting compensated for him leaving rather than having to pay him a load to sack him at some point.

Seems ideal to me?

[Colly]

Works well for him too, he's left after having that little winning streak so he has a slightly better reputation to take with him.

I'm terrified by the way, who the fuck is coming in? Joey Barton thinks Pulis is the logical choice.

[Whisper]

Average mid-table side in "being in mid-table" shocker.

Cue the inevitable hailing of the next manager as the second coming, when he wins his first two games. Then watch the ".... OUT" mob (read: most Newcastle fans) appear as soon as they lose a couple on the bounce.

Could always bring back King Kev though eh?

[Colly]

Tiresome.

[The Lusophone]

Shola to make a shock return as manager?

Although speaking of Ameobi's, I didn't though there was a brother inbetween Shola and Sammy.

[Colly]

Tomi is rubbish. Shola would be step up from some of the options though.

[The Lusophone]

True. I'd be tempted to take a punt on Remi Garde to be honest. Did some good work with Lyon despite the rise of the superrich clubs like PSG and AS Monaco.

Although Newcastle are more likely to hire Joe Kinnear or someone terrible like that. :/

[stokeriño]

Dennis Wise remains available...

Edit: Ahahaha, just went to his wiki page to check he wasn't somewhere else, and someone has actually put "2014 - Newcastle United" in his career list.

[TCO]

Getting Remi Garde would actually be a clever move. Fits the bill and would provably be the most likely to keep Sissoko and get the best out of Cabella.

I'm bracing myself for the triumphant return of Joe Kinnear nonetheless.

[Rich]

Personally I am looking forward to Newcastle United manager: Roy Keane

[Plubby]

Priest in!

[brenchill]

Priest in!

First day: "Can you get me a list of all the players stats, please?"

[stokeriño]

"You don't have the players' ability and potential ratings out of five stars? What kind of assistant manager are you?"

[MDK]

*saves before every game*

[Lineker]

Sherwood and Pulis in talks with West Brom. I can see Sherwood getting it as Pulis wouldn't want to work as a 'Head Coach'.

John Carver and Steve Stone are set to be in charge for Newcastle's next two matches with Alan Pardew poised to become Crystal Palace's new manager.

[Dan]

Good on Pardew. Hopefully the Mags can stop punching above their weight and go back to the Championship now

[Plubby]

Gazz would finish an IRL pentagon before he finishes the original one...
