relámpago blanco Posted December 9, 2010 Share Posted December 9, 2010 If we don't give him a chance we are relegated. So we can either be hughtonless in the premiership or hughtonless in the championship. I know which I'd prefer Championship? Was great fun last season.

JCONA Posted December 9, 2010 Share Posted December 9, 2010 Honestly, I feel sorry for Pardew. He may well be a c*** but there's no way he'll deserve the hostility he's about to encounter, he'll just be the easy and visible target when attacking Ashley. Nobody knows how much he knew about this sacking and how he acted around it but he'll get 100% of the stick without a doubt. He's a c*** of a man, a terrible footballer manager and a friend of the great Cockney fuckers. If he was any sort of a decent person, he wouldn't have been involved in taking Hughton's job before he was even out of it. He deserves everything he gets. Yet bearsdley is also close to ashley and would never get a hostile reception if we were on the touchline for liverpool. Sacking hughton was wrong and we should let ASHLEY know it. But hughton is gone and theres no coming back. Going after Pardew is not the right thing to do. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

brummie Posted December 9, 2010 Share Posted December 9, 2010 About to be a bit controversial here, so bare with me. Firstly, I think Ashley was mental to sack Hughton. It stinks of his face not fitting, and I honestly think he's treating the club like an extension of his favourite casino. It is pathetic, pathetic behaviour. To sack Hughton and replace him with a manager who is, at best, of the same level, and introduce needless uncertainty and instability at a time when you're doing OK is just ridiculous. BUT having said that - and this is the important bit - if you accept that he's replaced him with a manager of that level, is Pardew really that bad? Personally, I'd rather have him than Curbishley, for example. Or Sven, probably. Or David O'Leary - absolutely no doubt whatsoever on that front. Just a thought.

KaKa Posted December 9, 2010 Share Posted December 9, 2010 Can someone please make a list of Pardews signings for West Ham and Charlton? “I had a good opportunity to buy and do have a good record of recruitment, like Dean Ashton, Nigel Reo-Coker, Marlon Harewood, Bobby Zamora, Carlton Cole, Steve Sidwell and Nicky Shorey. I have some good ones. “Yes, then there was Carlos Tevez and Javier Mascherano. The weird ones at West Ham. “They were two areas of the team we didn’t need to strengthen and I didn’t know anything about it or couldn’t do anything about it. But it didn’t smell right. “I went into that initial press conference with no PR or brief. I was thrown to the lions fielding all sorts all sorts of questions. “It was unfair on me because I was asked questions I didn’t know the answers to. “I knew both players because I had been to the World Cup, yet didn’t know they were coming to West Ham. “Let’s not go down that road. Dean Ashton’s injury had a bigger impact on my future at West Ham than the two Argentine signings. The loss of Ashton when he was flying was the biggest blow of my career. “It was an unfortunate England training tackle from Shaun Wright-Phillips and West Ham deserve compensation. They lost a £15m player.” Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AyeDubbleYoo Posted December 9, 2010 Share Posted December 9, 2010 TBF to Pardew I can see why he was pissed off with Tevez and Mascherano. They turned out to be great players, but at the time the circumstances were very strange. We weren't happy with Keegan having players forced on him.

Yeah, if we're choosing from a pool of second or third tier managers (which we are, because Ashley's conditions are mental) then he's not as bad as some. Hopefully he'll do better than expected, time will tell. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If rumours are to be believed, this is the worst bit for me. Stinks to high heaven of jobs for the boys. But for the fact this guy is Ashley's mate, I highly doubt whether he'd be given more than an 18 month deal. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
