The fact he seemed so willing to let Pardew go gives me hope, he could have just said no and saved any bother. I am prepared to be disappointed though. Really that gives you hope? Does opposite for me Get £4m for Pardew. Replace with Carver. £4m up and not having ur manager tied to an 8yr contract win win for Ashley. Get rid for good money and replace on the cheap, if we've learnt one thing that's what Ashley does. It'll be Carver all day long It tells me he probably didn't rate Pardew anymore and wanted him gone, but he didn't want to pay the compensation.

I don't see what's so funny, it's obvious he means a floated set piece to a lanky streak of piss.

Maybe Tuchel is promising but he hasn't got the track record to justify waiting around for 6 months. If we can't find a good coach that wants the job right now in the whole of europe then we're retarded. I don't buy that there is no one that will take the job, that might be true in England as potential coaches(apart from being shit anyway) are surrounded by a maelstrom of press negativity.

It's hard to judge coaches, but I've always seen Carver as more of a mascot than a coach. Just seems like a bit of a grunt.

Same reason Colo was favourite, people are throwing names around willy nilly. No one has a clue, I bet Ashley doesn't have a clue yet.

Detailing the facts and stats probably counts as abuse to these wankers, for some reason it's never been acceptable for us to criticise our managers.

Shelvey...probably. The great dope for England? Of course not. They didn't ban Shelvey for sticking his nut on Debuchy last season, he's another one that always gets away with it.

Palace were apparently right to sack Warnock after he showed the same sort of form Pardew has shown a few times, literally nothing can happen to turn the pundits against him. You can list the stats and facts and they'll just be ignored, that's what agenda's do to people.

This is a happy day for us, the likes of Collymore can go swivel, in a ford mondeo in a quiet car park.

Whats he saying? How we should all be grateful? Was on about how we haven't won a league title since the 1920's and the 9th biggest wage bill in the prem, so we shouldn't be expecting anything better than what we've got. Also said something along the lines about Villa winning the European cup in the 80's so they have more of a right than us to success. Pure wind up merchant. Every time he talks about Newcastle he makes the argument "Newcastle fans wants this, this, and this, WELL DO DO VILLA!!!", as if we should give a shit what Villa or any other clubs wants. He makes stupid arguments but he thinks they're decent because he shouts everyone down.

I was reading a Palace forum and a few of them were talking about him bringing his scouting knowledge, referencing Ayoze Perez.

His mouth works faster than his brain. Why does he shout every sentence? It's hard not to hate him.

Howey thinks Souness and Allardyce were "big name managers", this sums up some of our fanbase.

This guy on talksport is genuinely devastated at Pardew leaving. http://i.imgur.com/H90q8k1.gif

It was a red, but they're so inconsistent when it comes to charging players. Has Fellaini ever been banned for an elbow? Even at Everton he got away with it.

Hoddle came across as a bit of a nutter to me during the world cup.

If I had to choose out of those two it would be that weirdo Sherwood.

If you want to do any more than survive he's shit, he didn't finish top 10 with Stoke once, despite spending shitloads.

I remember that game, it made me optimistic, Ben Arfa and Remy were a nightmare for them. Didn't last long though, too much fret.

I understand if people want to pick the ones that were around for a long time, I was just wondering how he is rated as a player generally. Alonso was around for 5 years mind, which is long enough for me.

I have a question. If you were judging them on their entire careers rather than just in the premier league, would you pick the likes of Keane and Gerrard over Xabi Alonso?

I noticed on the bbc ticker thingy he criticised Pardew for his terrible tactics, said the team were too deep right from the start. Lawro for king says I!
