Feel bad for majority of the real Geordie fans up there. Club's a bit loony under Ashley.
They seem to stabilise and have 6-8 months of 'feel good' news and decent stuff on the pitch etc. Then Ashley seems to do something to fuck it up. Seriously. (Wise appointment, Re-naming of the stadium, Wonga, Kinnear returning) - The timings are always odd with Newcastle.
This is just weird. As was Pardew's appointment. As is Pardew generally. I remember a rumour going around when Pardew was appointed about some money being owed somewhere. There's something clearly 'not right' at Newcastle and Pardew still doesn't sit right with me. He seems false. There's enough people in football who can't stand him and while it isn't blatantly clear why, there's something about the bloke which almost offers an insight into why he is disliked. I can't put my finger on it.
The only thing I can compare it (Newcastle generally under Ashley) to is when someone is lying, covering something up and your brain starts to process that something just isn't quite right.
I don't know what's going on up there but from the outside looking in, I get that same kind of feeling.
This appointment is a lot stranger than Pardew's and a lot more open for more to see.
