Ashley Rose: Sherwood was right to criticise his players on Sunday, but not again yesterday. No need to drag it up again, should move on. Jack: Sherwood was right to do what he did. Fans and players should appreciate honesty, it is the first step to recovery. Adam Taylor: Criticising a performance is ok, criticising them can seriously backfire. Rooney after fitness criticism wanted to leave club. Football Posted at 13:44 Alan Pardew Newcastle United manager Alan Pardew is conducting his weekly news conference. He is banned from the touchline for seven games as a result of a headbutt on Hull Citys David Meyler. Pardews side take on Fulham at Craven Cottage on Saturday and he says his assistant John Carver will take responsibility in the technical area. Our game plan is in place, says Pardew. John Carver knows it inside-out and I trust him 100% to deliver it. Coloccini will come back into the team and he is important. His captaincy needs to step up a level over the next three games.

Krishnan Goyal: Sherwood is definitely the man for the job. This passion is exactly whats missing. The quality is there, determination needed. Sir Les Sherdinand: Yes, truth hurts. How can a player not be inspired by their manager saying I want them to care as much as I do? Jake Potter: Yes theyre grown men earning thousands. If theyre too sensitive they need to get a grip or find a different job. Football Posted at 13:10 Non-executive director Sir Keith Mills with thoughts on the large number of overseas players brought in at Tottenham last summer: Id like to think the vast majority of the players we brought in will develop and stay and produce the value we believe they had when we bought them. This year is probably for us a transition year with a large number of new players and the managers job is to make the best of it.
