Is this the guy who's posts I started skipping a month ago?

I note he says he told them at half time to keep doing exactly the same things second half. If that's true then the players just aren't listening to him. I just cannot buy that because this is always what happens with Pardew, just a look at half time in the match thread makes that absolutely obvious, so do his subs. It's clearly bollocks. 5 min before their first goal I said they're sitting deep again or words to that effect. You could see it a mile off...Same as, same old...He's just crap under pressure and too negative and the players can feel that..Football is so much in the mind it's unreal...Fuck me he's even forgotten the clever things he used to say last year. He's out of ideas and worse he's spreading fear into the team - game after game. Ashley has to act this week.

How much was your crystal ball? [/oldjibesarethebest]

I know who the fuck they are.

Opted to bore people to death doing commentary instead. Think his commentary has management potential.

Trevor Francis showed some early promise. Not sure what happenned to him?

They hit the post about 200 times.

QPR Southampton Reading We'll finish 14th* *With a new manager.

I'm gonna speak to Mashley on Monday and sort this out.

I said that in 2009. Available? Possibly.

The thing with Laudrup.... he is kind of flavour of the month. He's doing a good job of course but no better than Rodgers and who is to say he could get us up to scratch?! Mind, there is no real guarantees in football when it comes to managers so who knows really. He would be a gamble like, as would Adkins or Martinez. Don't be silly. Laudrup has it all, you can see it in an instant - just listening to him speak never mind the football. A winner. Aye, and we all know that Cheryl Cole would be a reet good shag anarl, but there's nee chance of that happening either.

If I owned the club I'd be on the blower for Martinez or Laudrup tonight with £5m ready to pay off their respective clubs. Failing that I'd go for Ridjkaard who is available free. Adkins would be the last option but still better than what we have. Is Frank any good? Sacked form his last two posts. I rate him very highly. Good pedigree, deep knowledge of the game from his Ajax, Holland, Barca and Milan days. Won a CL and 2 La Liga's with Barca as manager. I would say his understanding of the deep game with regard to tactics, formations and tempo is as good as any top manager in the game today. Why hasa he done so shit then in the last 5 years? Really all he's done is kept Barca ticking with some of the worlds best players before 2008 then since nothing apart from getting sacked. Saudi sacked him, that's bad. He needs the right project. http://media2.picsearch.com/is?t38vh-sVVKM8bO-jx0LEAni-tCX70WXn1Fl09BTwnq4

Looks really down. I doubt he has the fight in him now to keep us up. The tempo and register of is answers spoke volumes.

...and I agreed with you. He can't change. He's cowardly and dishonest. There can't be a shred of doubt that he will relegate us.

Love to have a peak at Pards 'Book of sayings'.

Ashley must know in his heart that this is a one way train now. Must act. Reading ffs!!

Yup. Plus across the whole world the PL is watch by about 1billion people and is the biggest franchise ever created in football. There are dozens of managers who'd love to have a go in the PL.

Daftest post of the decade tbh How's that, unfortunately it's a fact. He's the lowest paid manager in the league about 250k with bonuses added on ( ie league postion etc).

I wish people would stop saying this. I take it you have a crystal ball? It's the truth. You can ignore it if that makes you feel better. It's nonsense. There are dozens of managers out there who would give eye teeth to manage a PL club.

I'd take Adkins.
