Bimpy474 Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 Even though Pardew's tenure was drab, with long losing streaks etc, at no point were we embedded in the bottom 3 at this stage of a season (albeit floating between 13th and 16th). For that alone McClaren needs sacking and I for one can see (hope) Ashley pulling the trigger. What I don't get though is why wait until after Stoke. As if one more game is going to condemn him, we've seen enough. He's dog turd. It's what we do now, wait and wait. It's as if watching Carver nearly take us down wasn't warning enough. They seem unable to accept their mistakes, rather than swallow their pride and change the manager they appointed. They'd rather keep going hoping it'll work out. Ridiculous but it's happening before our eyes. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrmojorisin75 Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 Stick or twist mike, stick or twist. It's the perpetual emitting of vibes from the club that there's never anything wrong and never any reason to panic I find most infuriating I think. It's like they set a plan in the summer and shut up shop September 1st to December 31st, then shut back down again at the start of February until May. They're all fucking holed up in a basement like Howard Hughes with a Netflix account while the world burns around them. Enraging. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

nufcjb Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 Ashley just appointed this guy on a long contract, appointed him to the board and signed players for him. Seems incredibly unlikely he'll be sacked any time soon. Well, you could twist that in another way. He appointed him on a long contract and to the board in hope that it would be a fresh start after the Pardew/Carver era and after just escaping the drop on the last day last season. The first signs that Ashley was getting nervy was letting us be the biggest spenders in the league, if not Europe this past January. He would have hoped that giving McClaren the money to spend on players McClaren wanted, again another sign as Pardew wasn't trusted as much, would atleast steer the club away from danger. Things haven't improved. And won't improve under McClaren. Like others have said, why wait for another defeat at Stoke to sack him when it could be done now? Unless Ashley gets the replacement ready during this 18 days and wait for the inevitable loss at Stoke. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newintoon Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 A few more rags coming out today as saying Schteve could be out if we fail at Stoke, I just don't the point at that stage. Sacking him anything later than this current 18 day break would be pointless, no potential incoming manager would be able to turn things around in the remaining time after Stoke. Exactly now is the time, maybe Ashley will attend Stoke again, Steve will cry on the touchline and at the end of the match Ashley will mouth something like he's gone and then nothing will happen.

Man, this forum has given me some of my best memories. Remember all those slow-mo, blurry screencaps of "what's he said?" and suddenly everyone on N-O was a lipreading expert, but with a different conclusion every single time.

thomas Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 he shouldn't even be getting any games to 'save' his position. why is that even a thing. we're in the shit because he's shit.

nufcjb Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 What's the point of giving him 2 home games? As if we'll win the 2 away games.

With this clown in charge we will absolutely get turned over by the fucking mackems again with FSA in charge, he'll grind an horrific result out against us and probably send us down.

nufcjb Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 In a way, this 18 day gap has been a reprieve for McClaren in that not much protest or anger could be vented after that mauling on Saturday. If the Man City game was still on, think he would be out of a job the next morning. It's all up to Ashley to realise this and take advantage of the long break.

Ketsbaia Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 Just done some number crunching and our home-away points difference is the league's biggest, with 17 at home and 7 away. Quite a few teams have done better on their travels. We've scored the lowest away goals (7) whilst only Villa have less away points (6 pips our 7). Only Sunderland have conceded more than 31 on the road, we have a -24 GD from just 13 games. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlanSkÃrare Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 Squad wasn't too bad to begin with. It's atrocious that he's been given all these players and all this time. It's criminally stupid of Ashley not to sack him and a big risk. Shows how much he hates changing managers. Having a spokes person pretending to manage a football club is tough on his asset if it's only broadcasted in the Championship. He'll have to choose soon.

Ankles Bennett Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 I will predict now that this warmwarm weather training camp will have opposite to the desired effect. The players will come back thinking they have worked really hard and that all they have to do is just turn up and try to replicate what they practised in la manga. The problem being Stoke City couldn't give a toss how hard we have worked in Spain and will we will be stuffed yet again. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
