agree with this, dropping the lad is a bad idea

be surprised if it was met with surprise or anger anywhere tbh similar to KI for me, if he took over, let's just see it as a step towards the light and out of the darkness

cool story bro

no-one will ever convince me that with proper coaching a team of krul, debuchy, mym, colo, santon, anita, sissoko, cabaye, hba, remy & cisse/gouff can not be drilled into a quality team on the counter...there's so much there to work with he's managed them that badly that people are talking about jonas, taylor and shola coming as if that's somehow going to save us against the might of cardiff the man is a fucking charlatan, he needs firing with immediate effect

people really on about jonas coming back in?

tell it brother if i pitched up to a new job and my performance steadily declined because i like apple computers better than windows ones and find it hard to work with windows my employers would realise i wasn't suited for the job and tell me to fuck off without 7 years payment being due

how's that? hull was surely the blow right after villa because he did play the same 4-3-3 vs. hull (iirc, at least that's how he started) and it got torn to shreds because he doesn't know how to play it properly everton had us beat the moment it fell apart vs. hull, never a doubt in my mind they'd rip us to bits

Not sure about this really. I don't think it's by any means certain he'll stay with us at the end of the season. If QPR get promoted then he can go back there, still play in the premiership and be on a salary about double what we would pay him. who said that, pissbag kinnear?

jesus christ man, over his whole tenure now 37.5% win, 25.78% draw and 36.72% loss like to see it charted in a graph since he became manager

seem to have missed somewhere decision about his case has been extended to november

oh, i know what you meant aye

here, not the right thread but does anyone know the inside track on o'leary? why was he really binned from leeds? assume it was mainly the book he wrote seem to recall brummie fucking hates him, what did he do at villa other than being shite? me and a lad at work were talking about it the other day and we couldn't put our finger on how he became such a pariah in the game

do you even know what you're condescending anymore?

Depends really, the fractional worsening of the value of the squad is nothing compared to the massive windfalls from TV money etc. He might decide that as long as we don't go down it's OK. I'm not sure he will, but it's possible. if the upcoming home games go badly, and i mean 0-3 / 0-6 badly, then the crowd will turn on pardew imho - he's been very, very lucky they haven't so far but it can't be much longer now once the home crowd turns it's probably over one way or another, until that time or such time as we're in real trouble in january/febraury i don't think he'll can him can't see how many more demoralising home defeats he'll be able to weather

mates a big celtic fan, said he would have sold him in the summer if possible - very good shot stopper but an utter liability on crosses and commanding his box

the thing is, by the logic of your own point in the same post there's nothing in his history to suggest getting the players he wants is any help to him either

I tend to agree. What is a problem is that he will have a say on who is. don't you find it interesting he's crawled out from under his rock the last 2 matches with ashley though? awfully coincidental to me but agree in principle it'd be madness to appoint him on health grounds

said 4 after the villa game with the proviso that he didn't change things and/or fuck it up - probably a 6 now, edging towards that same feeling from last season that we're so bad we're going to get sucked in again see nothing in pardew to suggest he can turn it around either

excruciating this like, he's a dead man walking and has been for a year, just depends how long it takes for the trigger to be pulled funny, just made the link to kinnear coming out of obscurity to watch the last two matches with ashley - presumably he's watching with a view to taking over and managing the players if they're considering pulling the trigger

i've been wondering this, do clubs have to insure managers like they do players? they'd never get insurance for kinnear like - also MA would be proving himself to be the worst cunt imaginable if he appointed him if only from the health side

Without meaning to be pedantic we've only really had 1 good win and that was away to Villa. That was also their 3rd league loss on the bounce so perhaps they were suffering a bit. I would have expected us to get a result against Fulham. Don't know if you thought we would. They are currently 3rd from bottom so not proving much kop this season. Villa away was the only decent performance so far from us. That's 1 in 8. my response to ian's post was going to be that come norwich we might have < 12 points from what, 12 games (?) and have to dig ourselves out of a rut - which pardew has shown last season he can't do unless ashley wasn't watching last season he should can him if that's our points return at that stage

the problem with pardew last season was how he reacted to a run like he's about to face now - we've lost 2 on the bounce awfully, if we lose again and then head into that run of games i think he'll crumble again, that was one of my biggest problems with him last season, he just folded and cried about new players well he won't fucking get any now so even if we've got 10 points by the time we play norwich that's only a quarter of what we need and he'll have to dig us out of what will almost certainly be a long run of poor results

we have surely reached the tipping point with him now? like afar says no-one wants us to lose but there's a point with every failing manager where not losing just prolongs things longer than necessary bruce was a good example with the mackems, he kept scraping draws that just managed to get him to the next week but in their heart of hearts everyone knew he had to go because progress was simply not going to happen - this is where we are now with pardew, most of us acknowledge that he's shot his load and we're just limping along now until the inevitable fwiw i think cardiff will beat us but if they do i can only hope this is the fatal blow for him

i think if there's an alternate option to joe kinnear we should be asking ourselves who joe kinnear might choose because he'll obviously have a say in it if he's a real DoF...assuming he does what he knows he'll go with ex-players or colleagues any ex-Wimbledon players managing out there he might line up?
