Pace in the team...talking about Mclaggon, he's looking forward to seeing him play. Still believes we're lacking pace, would like 1 or 2 more players with ''electric'' pace. Need to get lads out before bringing them in.

Murty update..... His pay structure is designed around playing time, as we knew about his fitness and injury history. States we're missing Murts, didn't give an update on how long - but he's nagging him to get fit.

that was brilliant lol

Kelvin is the best captain Pard's has experienced as a manager. Kelvin sorts out the systems (discipline etc) - arranges days out etc Kelvin will remain captain as long as pard's is here.

lol @ this bloke ''big club mentality'' ''yeovil were looking on in ore'' ''buy us the team and we'll pack the stadium'' weird speech.

Looking seriously at bid for world cup 2018 host city. in hands of City council at the moment. We've made the contact and wheels have been put in motion.

How did we get Papa? Papa was introduced to Pards through Nicola Cortese and an Agent. Pard's hasn't been aware of him - but he was checked out via sources and connections and all feedback was positive and stated that the player was above (Ability wise) the level we're at.

Do we have the option to buy trotman? He cannot give us a striaght answer...would be unfair on PNE, does sound that Pards is keen.

Pard's doesn't think that a DOF would be a bad thing at the club. He understands the logic of one, and he'd be prepared to work with one. Doesn't sound like it's a complete priority for NC at the mo though.

Nicola out!

Is it debt free? ''It's one of the few English clubs that is currently completely debt free''

Nicola said that it didn't seem like the administrators wanted them they kept pushing the swiss away and putting obstacles in the way.

Sounds like Fry ****ed about. They had the 500k ready to go in late may. All bank transfers agreed - but Fry called them and said that he'd given ''Pinaccle'' the exclusivity.

Adam was very close to joining PL Club - but AP sat down with him and said ''What do you want to do? Sit in the reserves for 2 seasons? Go out on loan?'' ''You have the chance to win a league title here, how brilliant would that be, this early in your career?''

on the OS - photos from saturday

thanks western - also confirmed by AP last week on the OS so sounds good.

+1 ****ed me off tbh too, people were trying to start the proper lambert song...but this just drowned it out. It's boring.

My MOTM too - thought he was everywhere, tackling, tracking back, accurately passing and seemed to drive us forward A real leader in the middle of the park, something we haven't had for a while. It's amazing that it's only taken pard's a couple of months to add the types of players we've been screaming out for over the last 3 years.

Pardew said on the OS last week - should be training within 3 weeks.

Trotman isn't slow tbf, he's quite quick for a CB.

The difference with Rooney was that he was playing PL football with everton, we couldn't give that to Theo and his advisers made that quite clear to him. If he came onto the scene when we were in the premiership, he'd have stayed IMO - but we were CCC, and bottom half CCC at that.

Absolutely I think it was Big sam who said he was the best header of a football he's ever worked with, can see why based on y'days efforts. I'm quite excited by his addition if im honest, he's still more than good enough to play top half championship when fully fit.

He keeps dropping deep in our home games, simply because he has to come and get the ball, our attacking play doesn't feed the ball to him (which it should do!) That's our only problem at the moment, Pard's has also acknowledged it which has put me at ease...we'll get it right, but at least he's still trying to make an impact. He's got a v good touch too.

He did get wide-right a few times yesterday when in possession, took on and ran at the full backs etc - not sure if that's what pards instructed him to do, but he looked very capable.
