Ashley puts Pards under pressure!

Many suggest that Ashley decided to take the negotiations into his own hands after Llambias having failed to land in Remy. Plus that we are running out of time in this window.

This might actually be true and instead of letting the man from the casino drag on every negotiation like it feels like have been going on before.

At least players are being brought in now.
Mbiwa who is said to be quality.
Haidara is one for the future.
Gouffran probably won't be a wow signing but he'll be better than the hopeless Jonas.
Sissoko might come in too and replace a Tioté whose form is ice-cold but his head is hotter than ever.

Doesn't get any worse that we are supposed to be in talks over Ricky van Wolfswinkel (can't go wrong with that name now can you?) and someone suggested Wilfried Bony... those two names would make an interesting combination...

Whoever will come in though, Pardew will indeed be under pressure as it will be up to him to get the best out of our new assets.
Which means that I hope Jonas, Ameobi, Perch, Obertan, Simpson and Williamson will go down in the pecking order.

I agree - good post Seb. Intersting to see where we end up - four or five in but Colo probably on his way along with Simpson. Plus whoever Ashley deems excess baggage - still a thin squad. Oh Joy!!!

The pressure is the same as it's always been............ get results!

Adding more quality and players to choose from makes that objective a bit more achievable for the manager be it APee or someone else.

Should our most benevolent owner have any faith in the guy, as he appointed APee, Pardew will be there until the end of the season. Should The Toon go down then fair enough he goes....the reverse possibly applies should he keep them up. The last thing we need is a repeat of the Shearer debacle.

You can count on one hand the number of good managers Newcastle have had throughout the last fifty years. Which probably says a lot more about the buggers hiring and firing them than the ability of those employed.

Who put pressure on who? and who is putting on the most pressure? and who is now under pressure?
I wish the Captain would explain,,,cause it was easier to understand when it was all Pardews fault.
I am being pressurised to explain to American colleagues.....Capn Step up and explain please!

Read today that AP wanted Zaha, however once Manure came in The Toon couldn't compete so spent the money (£15m) on acquiring five players.

Time will tell whether the decision was well founded....
