Happy New Year

Friad not, pulled it up off the Newsnow website. do what?

There's a fair few Newcastle fans round Crewe as there was a lot of movement that way in the 60's. Where do you live in Crewe btw? I'm in Winterley a fair bit.

Get em all tel't Tom!

The first number covered looks like an 8 too. It definitely isnt a 1, 0, 3, 4 or 7 anyway if anyone else is trying.

Its missing 2 digits man. Unless people are willing to try 99 combinations to speak with you I wouldnt worry too much Speak for yourself. I've tried 12 but no joy yet.

correction: 2 digits. I havent got enough airtime to try 99 crank calls.

The fucking image.

Cheers for the input. Confirming a lot of people's worst suspicions.

Is it still Pedro for Saturday or has that changed now? What the fuck do you even do in a situation like this? The media are going to crucify us for booing our own manager before a ball is kicked but what the fuck do you do anymore? Anything else is just playing along with the fat cunt.

It's all kicking off on here today like.

I knew what was coming 37 days ago, don't know if I've mentioned. Hey we're playin next Wednesday neet as well at home, happy days, didn't realise. See Hughton is favourite to benext Prem manager to lose his job with Hills, ffs give him a contract now you tools. Calderwood might have jumped before they were both pushed, I don't see Hibs as a step up regardless of role promotion. I heard from a good source the intention is to replace Hughton with Pardew, that was before West Ham, if we'd lose the last 3 I'd still rather have Hughton than Pardew anyway. Most gutting snippet of genuine ITK in the history of this message board tbf. Fair play for calling it though.

whoever gets the job is being set up as a sitting duck. But they will take the money and run. Don't even think you can say that tbf. Hardly like he can't see what he's getting himself in for. Actively courted it too by the sounds of it. what the fuck are you babbling on about now ? I don't have time for adult literacy classes. Sorry.

Pardew Out!

Spectacular. He just upped the mong anti when it didnt seem humanly possible.

recipe ? Just throw anything in. Following a recipe would surely be considered 'planning', which, of course, you don't believe in. You can't crack a few eggs without making an omelette.

You sir, are a GENIUS!!! +1

Is Graham Rix coming in as well? Hey, why not! Anyone else failed in the PL or in life generally we could put on the coaching staff? Pardew, Rix as assistant, perhaps Howard Wilkinson and Alain Perrin for a full set. Whoa! That's a big coaching staff there, Dave.

the embarrassment are those who insisted that anybody but Fred would do better than qualifying for europe regularly, filling an expanded stadium every home game, signing the players who were responsible for the higher playing standards to enable all of this etc etc etc And still don't see that they were wrong, very wrong. For the record, and I don't know how many times I have to say this, it is embarrassing how many times I have to tell you. From 1992 until 2007 the Halls and Shepherd ran the club, combined they had the majority shareholding, all the decisions good and bad were taken by the majority shareholders, none of them could do anything without the approval of the other ? Sir John Hall has said that "we" appointed managers. Dogless has said that "we" decided Bobby Robson had to go. I thought you were a solicitor ? Aren't you supposed to be intelligent ? Dear fuck. I hoped this particular angle of comment would be well over and accepted by people by now. ASM's post immediately above this one (post no.27) correctly explains the position. Unfortunately for you, you're talking complete shit. The whole point is that in appointing Shepherd as chairman, that's one of the fundamental roles he assumes responsibility for. That's what chairmen do. If it wasn't the case, why bother having a Chairman? Why would SJH bother standing down as Chairman? The shareholders give this function to the Chairman who then takes those decisions on their behalf. If he makes the wrong decisions they can chose to terminate his service contract. If the Chairman decides to listen to shareholders/follow the views of shareholders/not take issue with bad recommendations of shareholders (howsoever you want to phrase it) then it's still his fucking fault when those decisions blow up in his face. He's employed to run a football club. I see you chose not to answer the question I posed at the top of the page because that asks the question technically and you clearly didn't understand what I was talking about. Yes I'm a solicitor and I'm fairly confident I've got a better grasp of company law than you have. I refer you to the comments as made by Sir John Hall and Dogless, where they have referred on many occasions as "we". Only an idiot would give one single person, and a minority shareholder at that, totall control of a business worth in excess of 100 million quid. Do you think Sir John Hall is an idiot ? Continue beating Shepherd with any stick you can find. I hope your judgement of situations as a solicitor is better than your reading of an obvious situation at the football club. I understand perfectly well what your point is. You are back to spouting total bollocks, based on personal agenda. I hope you are looking forward to someone matching the achievements of the Halls and Shepherd, which may or may not be a long time. Who knows, it certainly won't be during the ownership of Mike Ashley, thats certain. THE FACT OF THE MATTER IS HE HAD TOTAL CONTROL IN HIS CAPACITY AS CHAIRMAN. I can't make you understand this because you don't understand the basic rudiments of company law. Fred: Hey John, I've just sacked the manager Sir John: You mean Bobby ? Fred: yes SJH: Ok Fred, I'm sure you know best lad, you don't need to tell me things like this you know, just make sure my 80million quid is OK aye ? Fred: Don't worry John you can trust me SJH: who do you have in mind then Fred ? Fred: I rather fancied that Souness chap, you know. SJH; Ok Fred, appoint who you like mate, when its done, I'll be over there looking after the roses. Oh and don't bother mentioning this to Douglas either, he's doing far more important things too, racing his cars etc Fred: Ok mate will let you know So fuckin funny. As stupid a scenario as those who whined on for years how embarrassed they were playing in the San Siro and the Nou Camp insisting that "anybody" would do better You think Sir John is an idiot ? Thats fine by me lad, if its your opinion. I'll stand back and laugh my tits off at you. My post (no.49) explains the position without the hilarious sketch show. ta.

I'm saying he has a point LM, you tried to patronise me like I normally let you, but in this instance I can see you know nothing about Company law vis a vie the stock market and legal imlications thereof. So move away bro. Where the fuck did that come from like? Sounds more like feelings of inadequacy than me patronising you. Sorry if you feel that way though, genuinely. I won't respond to your point about the stock market for fear of patronising you further. YOU do come across as a know it all in these types of threads isn't it? So, are we to discuss the ratings system (analysts say for arguments sake S&P) used by the stock market vis a vie the appointment of independant chairman (especially if there is an odd number of directors) or not? Didn't think so. I'm a bit more animated in my language in this thread but that's because I'm exasperated by how clueless Leazes is to everything and what he feels he's proving by the argument he's trying to hang his hat on, because essentially it's meaningless. I apologise in as much as any of that spilt over into posts towards you. Basically I should know better than to even bother responding to Leazes at all. As to your point about stock market/ratings systems/analysts etc, without wanting to sound patronising, I'd discuss that if it was at all relevant. But it simply isn't to the very basic point I'm making.

The local and national press want to continually hound Llambias for comments as to how Pardew represents significantly greater top level experience than Hughton. Some hope like.

Fucking hell, anything to lift the depression/anger.
