It appears that that was the consensus on here like.

7th

Bring him over here.

Very much so. What a shame.

No gifs please! Jinxed it the last time...

I'm sure Geremi was club captain for a wee bit. Yes he was, was made captain as soon as he signed for us. Allardyce thought it would be a good call...

Still has a 100% record as a NUFC manager

No news then? We've 9/10 days left to come up with a magnificent plan (which preferable involves Pardew being removed from his position) to save our season.

You almost lost me with the sympathy thing but the bit in bold seems like it could be case. It's just who he is, he's inherently negative. He's shown that he's simply not up to the task. I've given him the benefit of the doubt (hence why the sympathy view above) these last 6 months or so but I can't take it anymore. He's broken me.

I feel sorry for Pardew in a way. He acquired so much goodwill on the back of last season but he's basically thrown all of that out of the window with his recent "management" skills. I reckon that deep down, he knows he's fucking up big time - he wants to keep this job (which is probably the best one he's had in his career) and I think that for him, that's motivation in itself to persist with his defensive/win 1-0 approach. However it's becoming increasily evident that his tactics are bordering on the cowardly and the negative levels. His overcautious approach is hindering us - he is so afraid of losing this job that a scrappy 1-0 win would actually do for him as it's 3 massive points and it's looking like this approach is rubbing off on the players. Such a mentality does not get you far whatsoever. He's let the fans, the players and ultimately himself down. Time for him to step aside, it really looks as if he's run his course here and will not improve beyond his current level.

Get this over the line and it may be one of the boosts we so desperately need. Our defence has let us down time and time again this season so a new first choice CB makes absolute sense (and it has done for the last 2 years). Of course, any CB coming in from a different league will need time to adapt but I'm hopeful of a Bassong-esque first season... Please get this done.

He is getting into the right positions, granted, but it's really getting to me that he's offside more often than not. (Though think it's only bothering me now because of the dire position we're in).

Not after the last QPR fiasco.. Aye, the Remy thing has pretty much scarred me

And that cunt is still rambling on. Urgh.

Nope, just a roundup of all the rumours today.

Both are just as bad as each other. For one thing, it appears that Pardew just doesn't want to acknowledge any fault on his part and secondly, the players might be losing a bit of faith in him if they didn't listen to the manager's instructions. Either way, it all leads back to Pardew as being the root cause...

Appointing Ketsbaia would be a massive risk but one which I guess is worth taking...

Thought this was your view of this whole debacle at first. Im glad i read the whole thing I'm now at the point of no return, mate. I said a couple of weeks ago that I was still willing to give Pardew a chance but I also added if we only got 1 point from Norwich and Reading, then my view on him would change and look's what happened...Things have not improved whatsoever and this rot is only going to continue with Pardew at the helm. Seriously, if Pardew left/got sacked tomorrow, I would feel relieved. I'd probably say thank you for 2011/12 but that was then but this is now. The stark reality is that we need change and fast.

"everyone goin on about pardew should be sacked. what good would that actually do?? if anything all abuse should be aimed at ashley who needs to get his hand in his pocket asap!!" Got to love Facebook.

Correct answer. His forward runs were something to behold to. Still a limited player who needs replacing in the starting lineup though. I'd still keep him on as 4th choice CB...

He did win some goodwill on the back of last season's success - he's lost it now though (from me anyway).

Think everyone will be on the same wavelength now. I know that my vote will change.

I'm scared.

Fuck football
