Looking at it positively, we can't lose now, if he starts well, we're happy, if he starts badly, he's likely gone.
As frustrating as it is, no point moaning anymore, got to get behind him, fresh start for next season.
spent the afternoon in stoke, they really reckon theyve got a chance of rafa.
Guy from their newspaper just been on talksport also, he reckons thats their main target (he did also admit its unlikely).
Huge statement that mind. Not worth debating however!
Whichever way you look at it, a £4k bonus for the people on the burger counters is unbelievable, imagine getting that tomorrow?
Someone was on talkshite at about 8:15 on my way to work, missed the start of his call so didn't catch his name (journo), it's was his opinion pardew wouldn't be here at start of next season.
Currently having an ongoing discussion with a bloke at work about this. He reckons all of his mates are all coming round to my way of thinking and all want him out after previously being behind him. He can't understand it and his only defence of Pardew seems to consist of "well the next bloke they hire may be worse". That's it. His only remaining reason for not pulling the trigger is that the replacement may be worse.
Mentally ill tbh.
I have debates with a lad I know, season ticket holder, home and away, never misses. He's a Pardew fan and his usual reasoning for shooting me down is 'stability', which is crazy.
However, his latest point was 'like fuck is this as bad as teh relegation season, we've been far worse off than this', as if that is a reason to keep a manager? wtf is wrong with these people?
he was tactically mangled today by a fella who's experience is a season in league 2 and half a season in league 1.
This isn't a one off, he gets done tactically on regular occasion.
nothing on this mans CV suggests its going to get better from here.
Get him out.
