Newcastle is a farce. Paul Barron is widely considered one of the best goalkeeper coaches in the country - their loss I suppose, he will easily get employment elsewhere I'd have thought.
I don't get that whole thing. Sacking him for someone with more managerial experience, then going for Pardew...Who, in turn, gets a 5 and a half year contract, when they apparently offered Jol 6 months on a result basis??
I have no clue what Ashley's doing up there, but it ain't making sense...
When Pardew was manager of Reading and we played them in the FA Cup he showed total disrespect to the Welling lads after the game so i hope he falls flat on his arse at Newcastle. Up there they know their football and they wont put up with him for very long.
He was a non league player who thinks hes the dogs nutts, much like Hessenthaler.
What gets me is Managers like this and Curbishley get long term contracts, get sacked then pick up another one soon after being sacked, released or failing.
Blame the chairman for signing them, its the only job in the world you can perform shyte in and some other mug will pick you up on more money soon after.
