It's is so far beyond a joke how bad our squad plays under him. No spark, no creativity, no passion. No surprise. Lets not leave the players blameless and this isn't a knee jerk as we knew we would lose this game. We a ploughing down the table now. If Ashley cares about money he might as well sack him now and get someone in that can secure our top 8 spot. The positions we are likely to drop will cost us almost as much as sacking him.

And has been for three seasons.

Disgusting touch it has to be said. Oh to have coaching staff that could improve players not make them worse.

A-Men.. if its the money Mike is worried about I am sure we can get a supporters whip around to help.

Offered far more than Ben Arfa in this game, who has looked sloppy thus far.

Yep, looks up for it. Will be just as broken as Cisse though before too long, given the lack of service he will be getting.

Moussa

This.. with Yanga Mbiwa just sat on the bench. Clueless!

Exactly, you would be hard pushed to find a sponsor without some dodgy dealings.

Interesting to see what happens next... Don't want to get my hopes up but lots of signs pointing to Ashley selling up.

Clearly taking gardening leave to be fit enough to take over from Arran Pardon.

Haven't seen them in Saskatchewan yet. Despicable company, but most big name brands have a ton of seedy unethical business involved one way or another. At least we aren't sponsored by nestle.

Sounds like we have a pre contract agreement in place. Still think he will go elsewhere.

1 down, two clowns to go. Are we replacing him? Maybe Mike will see sense and do what he should have done before and call his buddy David Dein and offer him enough money to do the job properly. Somehow I fear we will get a Ron Atkinson or El Tel.

Don't make light of his recent stuttering problem. He has only just transferred it from stuttering all over the pitch.

14 games left, 15 points off relegation... Should be fine. That said we could easily lose 8 of those 14.

I don't think his attitude in the pitch has been that bad. There were games where he worked hard for the team without getting any service. The most worrying thing has been his first touch and control, not to mention panic in front of goal, which was terrible. He clearly had the confidence stripped right out of him rather than laziness. Not saying it's all our coaches fault but we have seen the same from Tiote, Cabaye and Ben arfa. Feels like we are getting rid because our coaching staff aren't capable enough to get him back to where he has been the past years of his career. 10m is a good recoup though. Rather we played him tbh.

Wow. Guess Gouffran is going more central. If we get 10m for him we have done well.absolute joke our staff have ruined him though and can't get him back to form.

Still here then :jesuswept: Not that anyone really expected different. Comes to something when I hope we loose enough games to finish outside the top 10 so he gets sacked. Not alone in that thinking either.

Probably one of the numpties throwing bricks out of the skip at coppers after the game. He is that bright. Such high hopes turned into a charver with brains the size of a Gnat. Its time to move on, sentiment aside. Williamson works well next to someone that can think rationally, Taylor makes both of them look as bad as they can be. Should have cashed in when we could years ago.

nice quotes on the official site. He was over eager to impress and not fit enough to do what he wanted. Easy to be as headless as the chickens running around him in black and white shirts.

I am looking forward to having the honor of seeing him join another club than us in the summer.

Why doesn't anyone in the press have the bottle to write it? He has been a complete sham since he got here. I can only imagine they really just don't care. - Some great signings (nothing to do with him) and a shit load of luck got us to fifth without even playing particularly well, especially game to game. - We have never looked like a dangerous attacking unit since he got here. - He did improve our defence but we have always been vulnerable at set pieces and our man marking and backing off has been woeful constantly. Height that was something recognized by him nearly three seasons ago but never addressed. - Players have gone backwards under him and his apparently qualified coaching staff. - Flirting with relegation/weighed up with a shock 5th place means this is make or break for him this year. We were broken a long time ago. - Cup runs - cup exits nearly all in Embarrassing fashion. - Derby results and certainly performances that must almost be the worst in our management history? - Blames everyone but himself and even berates fans. How down trodden are we that we put up with this as fans?

I was going insane at that, he's a moron. Whenever he's in a situation where he has to think he f***s it up. It is a common theme... confidence. The squad lacks it in front of goal. Sissoko is a bit of a luxury, the deluxe caravan type of luxury..its still a bloody caravan. He has all the tools to be immense and we get flashes of it. He does good work up the flank and makes some neat passes but bottles it in front of goal and doesn't do enough coming back lately. Back to my original point though, we saw it with Santon who does this all the time, Obertan, Gouffran, Cisse in the past year, Debuchy..they all panic and look for a pass or an extra touch rather than striking the fucking ball towards goal. They are literally scared to give it a go. Santon should have scored today from that kind of senario..but he usually has that happen several times a match. Either its confidence or its Pardews tactics telling them to find the pass. Either way the coaches are at fault once again. Even Hatem and Anita are in the same boat at times although they sometimes just over play it, as does Sissoko. Tiote is the only guy that gives it a go, and he is usually too far in the other mindset trying to strike it from everywhere.
