Guest michaelfoster Posted May 8, 2011 Share Posted May 8, 2011 Just been working out the head to head for Hughton & Pardew for league games, didnt realise it was so close on win % Hughton P 16 W 5 L 7 D 4 Win %: 31.25% PTS 19 Pardew P 20 W 6 L 7 D 7 Win Percentage: 30% PTS: 25 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRon Posted May 8, 2011 Share Posted May 8, 2011 I couldn't stand Pardew when he wasn't our manager but I quite like him as our boss now. I don't cringe at the thought of him representing us when I see him on the touchline. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
themanupstairs Posted May 8, 2011 Share Posted May 8, 2011 I couldn't stand Pardew when he wasn't our manager but I quite like him as our boss now. I don't cringe at the thought of him representing us when I see him on the touchline. I'd agree with that, but would jump at the chance to have him replaced. Was certainly hoping that rumour a few days ago had some truth in it. He hasn't shown anything different, or special about his style of management. With Hughton for example, you could clearly see a marked difference between him as a coach, a care-taker, and then a full-time manager. The man grew in stature, and seemed to have a shrewdness about him. We can't afford to change managers again now obviously, so we'll have to wait and see how we start next season.

ads Posted May 8, 2011 Share Posted May 8, 2011 Wish people would stop comparing Hughton and Pardews results. As Sicko said, Carroll won us a fair few on his own and Pards hasn't had much luck in the way of injuries. fwiw Pards is close to winning me over, we've played some good stuff under him at times, can't be easy with the shit he's got at his disposal. Fair play to him, he might not have been anyone's first choice when Hughton was sacked but we need stability here and he should be judged when he's had the off season to begin shaping the squad his way. He's well on his way to winning me over, it's going to be an interesting summer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Howaythetoon Posted May 8, 2011 Share Posted May 8, 2011 This is too big a gig for someone with his limited abilities. He needs a good transfer window this summer and to start next season well, very well, to stand a chance. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BONTEMPI Posted May 8, 2011 Share Posted May 8, 2011 He's still on parole for me. His signings come the summer should give us an indication how long it'll be before we hound him out. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wil Posted May 8, 2011 Share Posted May 8, 2011 Heard Steve McClaren on Sky this morning praising the professionalism of our managerial/coaching set up and attention to detail, which he had observed behind the scenes recently. That's how I've thought Pardew has come across actually. For me he's done a very decent professional job, in some trying circumstances. There's also an honesty about the way he's trying to communicate through the media which I appreciate. Next season though is the big one for him.

There's also an honesty about the way he's trying to communicate through the media which I appreciate. Next season though is the big one for him. Forget who the interview was with, but one of the players referenced Pardew's meticulous approach. They were asked whether they were prepared for the game, the response was "It's impossible not to be with Pardew, he goes through everything 100 times"! Read a while back about getting two more anaylysts in and having DVD footage for every player and their potential opponent. Jury is still out, but there have been changes in the way we play, slight improvements across the board and I'm a fan of this new, seemingly more proffesional approach. However, I still find some of his press conferences and comments cringeworthy and strange. Full season with his team and tactics in place and he can be judged, if he gets that long.

bealios Posted May 10, 2011 Share Posted May 10, 2011 Jury is still out, but hasn't been as bad as I thought he might be, far from it. And I have to admit, as much as I liked Hughton, he has done it with a far worse squad to pick from, in my view. Loven and Shola as first choice pairing, enough said.

Guest BooBoo Posted May 10, 2011 Share Posted May 10, 2011 Whilst overall their poinst hauls have been similar, Hughton seemed to get the players up for the big games and less so for the smaller ones. Pardew meanwhile has his wins, pretty much all against the lower table sides but still lacks a feather-in-the-cap win, with the only stand out result thus far being the Arsenal madness.
