Mattoon Posted October 3, 2015 Share Posted October 3, 2015 Looks out of his depth but is also being badly let down by his players. Not a great deal of point sacking him as we can guarantee any replacement will be no better, and is quite likely to be a catastophic embarrassment a la Kinnear or Carver. We're f***ed this time I reckon. You're probably right to be fair, we never had a contingency plan for Pardew when he was dragging us through the bowls of disgusting football so I doubt we have any idea now. I don't think it matters now who comes in the damage was done way before McClaren and won't be sorted any time soon. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Collage Posted October 3, 2015 Share Posted October 3, 2015 I wouldn't exactly cry if he was sacked/walked, but it would make no difference at all. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wallsendmag Posted October 3, 2015 Share Posted October 3, 2015 If Pardew was still manager (with Carver as assistant) we'd have more points than we have now. I can't be more damning of McClaren than that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mattoon Posted October 3, 2015 Share Posted October 3, 2015 I concur we'd have grabbed a raggy win somewhere or put out a dog turd display at home for a few more draws. That doesn't mean I'd rather we were still in that position. I'm glad we are where we are, I would have taken us improving under McClaren and playing better football but I'll also accept being worse but not in a groundhog day of perpetuating loathing of everything at the club. Strangely even though worse in a twisted way it feels better because the man that made me hate football is gone and the fat fucker is closer to selling up.

Interpolic Posted October 3, 2015 Share Posted October 3, 2015 I'm not sure if we would have more points with Pardew in charge tbh, it's pure guesswork to say he would. I think it would have been canny similar. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkie Posted October 3, 2015 Share Posted October 3, 2015 Not gonna worry myself with how we'd supposedly be doing with Pardew. The man proved he was capable of having us tread water whilst playing God awful football - whilst being a massive cunt. Now we're in the relegation zone which isn't that different imo. Certainly not in terms of how I feel. A lot of this is his doing anyway, which is the point people keep forgetting. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wullie Posted October 3, 2015 Share Posted October 3, 2015 During the time Pardew was manager, over 4 years, we were the only ever-present member of the division not to take a single point off Man City, home or away, so I wouldn't go using today as an opportunity to sing that cunt's praises. Make no mistake, he was integral to creating the NUFC you see before you and nobody should ever forget that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

maze Posted October 3, 2015 Share Posted October 3, 2015 Or, what if Ashley actually cared to hire a quality Managing Director? Dropped that stupid board? Dropped that stupid transfer policy? Dropped Wonga? Cared for the club, the fans and the city? What would happen? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wallsendmag Posted October 3, 2015 Share Posted October 3, 2015 We lost pretty much every match in 2014 and people think we'd be doing better under Pardew? This is our worst ever start in PL history. Our worst start since the 1800's! We certainly (and didn't) wouldn't be doing any worse under Pardew which says all you need to know about McClaren and this group of imposters out on the pitch. No point in typing what I think about Ashley because the swear filter would make it unreadable. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Parsley Posted October 3, 2015 Share Posted October 3, 2015 Sacking McClaren honestly won't achieve much. As several folk have already alluded to, there is a patent, deep-seated sense of malaise within the squad that will work against any coaching the players receive. The minute things take a turn for the worse, heads drop and the floodgates invariably open. The problem is endemic; simply doing a Sunderland and axing the manager in search of a short-term fix addresses absolutely nothing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
