Welbeck's better than Rodriguez in the system that England will most likely play in the World Cup Rodriguez is twice the player Welbeck is. Gutted for him.

Not that much really between a load of people. We have no decent fan groups unfortunately. In theory I think even just the members on this forum could manage to cough up enough tbh. Some will possibly back with larger sums whilst many small sums become large. I find it intriguing how I thought it was tacky when the Man Utd fans did it, but wouldn't if we did something. Think it's mostly down to the fact that the media and such don't talk about any fan unrest up here with regards to Pardew and it could actually have an impact, whilst the media have been talking about nothing but Moyes being s*** almost all season, so people already know the fans hate him. Best thing to do imo would be to set up a decent looking webpage to advertise on the banner listing the reasons why Pardew should go. More likely to change the flow of opinion of the media/ the general public than a short message which will be too easily dismissed as 'deluded Geordies' or something similar. Short and sweet message such as "No more goals" with a website link following would have an okay impact if media covers it and people actually go to the site. Could list excuses/contradictions/statistics from Pardews time here as well as a constructive and well formulated critisism of Pardew. Sounds good I reckon it would generate a decent amount of coverage, the Steve Kean one did a couple of years ago. It could also have a positive effect on journalists who are becoming more critical of Pardew (noticed Douglas seems to have turned of late) as well as setting the agenda more generally in terms of people questioning Pardew's position. As Santoon said, we should do something. I'd happily chip in to make it happen.

He's far better than Sherwood and should have been given more time.

Wouldn't really want any of them if we had upwards of £40m to spend. All very average and Pardew would make them look even worse (with the possible exception of Shawcross). Could buy at least three quality false nines with that sort of money, too.

:lol:

I haven't felt anything when we've scored/won for a while, either. The club is going nowhere under this manager/owner and some scrappy wins courtesy of 'moments of magic' from players who are either leaving in the summer or wasted under this management (or both) does nothing to change that.

Running out of chances, but have enough winnable home games left to stay up.

I struggle to care anymore. He'll be leaving in the summer either way.

Shame some are too thick to see it.

Nah, it's bullshit. Charlton's priority is staying in the championship and finding the best candidate available, not attempting to solve our national coaching problem by keeping someone on who has them bottom of the table or hiring someone who isn't the best candidate just because their nationality fits. The only way to improve our coaching system drastically enough is by overhauling it, not by hiring below-par managers/coaches and hoping they improve with time. The fact Pepe Mel, two months into a difficult job and probably doing better than his previously highly rated British predecessor, is the best example he can give of a failing foreign manager shows the poor quality of his argument.

Ridiculous if true.

Definitely. He's a good manager IMO, and I still reckon WBA have a reasonable chance of staying up. Next 4 games are critical for them. There are problems behind the scenes there, though, and I think Mel has made a mistake pandering to the players who want to play the type of football which saw Clarke sacked in the first place. At the time same time, they don't have the pace in their defence to play the high line Mel usually plays, so it's difficult.

At least that confirms once and for all that all reports of tension between Ashley and Pardew are bullshit. Doing a perfect job as far as Ashley is concerned and it is unlikely he will go until Ashley does (possibly barring us looking like we will be relegated). This was his chance to act.
