Ste Posted March 11, 2016 Share Posted March 11, 2016 Do think the timing of it has been unfair on him. To keep him on training the team while our guys are out in public on their way to meetings when it's clear he's a dead man walking. Think he's probably a very decent coach who struggles with the side of management where you have to walk into a dressing room and command respect. Arguably his tenure as England manager and the medias treatment of him while there did a lot to damage that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimmymag Posted March 11, 2016 Share Posted March 11, 2016 Don't have the same elation most people are having at his sacking rather disappointed how the whole thing worked out, I really wanted it to work for him here. He absolutely had to go but I haven't had the same reaction that I did when Pards finally left. I hope he goes on and gets another decent job somewhere. Same. The way the club's good name and reputation has been dragged through the mud (again!) by the way the lunatics "running" the club have mis-handled his termination makes my piss boil.

This was something that just don't work out, be it because he's a better coach than manager, he was out of his depth, and players letting him down. He did have a tough task after 5 years of Pardew and 6 months of Carver. Pardew was a pure and fucking utter cunt who went out of his way to atagonise us and hide is shocking management abilities and will always be hated by us NUFC fans.

Big Geordie Posted March 11, 2016 Share Posted March 11, 2016 I think this week, the club have been pretty shameful in how they have treat him. That said.... he should have gone long before now. He's just not cut out for it at all. Lets hope Benitez can pull us out of the shite. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
tom1988 Posted March 11, 2016 Share Posted March 11, 2016 Don't hold anything against the guy whatsoever (apart from thinking he should have resigned after Saturday), was clearly well out of his depth and took the job knowing that with his recent record he wasn't going to get anything better. The club is the problem and at least now they have acted decisively. I wouldn't put it past us to use this opportunity to move in the right direction and take a massive run and jump backwards though, here's looking at you Messrs Pearson, Curbishley & Redknapp. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NG32 Posted March 11, 2016 Share Posted March 11, 2016 Should have been binned before we went to La Manga. Shit timing but at least they've actually made some effort. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ndegwa Posted March 11, 2016 Share Posted March 11, 2016 Shit appointment, decent coach but woefully short as the main man. Not exactly thrilled by how he was strung along for so long. Hope his soul isn't broken by this, and wish him all the best for the future. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lush Vlad Posted March 11, 2016 Share Posted March 11, 2016 Apparently, if we stay up, we'll be the first club in Premiership history to do so after changing a manager at this point How many other teams have tried it? How many points adrfit were they etc? Don't get me wrong. We're in a perilous position. But I doubt that stat is actually as damning as it first sounds.

Darth Crooks Posted March 11, 2016 Share Posted March 11, 2016 I have to agree. Its more relief than elation. He had a far worse squad available than Pardew despite 80 million 'investmnet' and still being shocking. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disco Posted March 11, 2016 Share Posted March 11, 2016 Surely that's his career absolutely done for now. What's been his record since 1 Jan 2015 - about 6 wins or something? Pathetic. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Crooks Posted March 11, 2016 Share Posted March 11, 2016 somehow conspired to get worse results than Pardew with 80m spent. Useless He is, but somehow that 80 million left us in a worse state than when Pardew was here. Fucking hate that twat. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
