wormy Posted December 7, 2010 Share Posted December 7, 2010 Jol mustn't have been very good in the interview. His aim of spending a few million on Barfa full time compared to Pardew's target of Radhi Jaidi and Kelvin Davis. Game over. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
quayside Posted December 7, 2010 Share Posted December 7, 2010 More and more examples of the pointlessness of Twitter. Yeah, Curbs over Pardew. Still wouldn't be happy that we've got rid of Hughton to do so. But wouldn't be as devastating. This is probably the crux of the issue here (for me), the decision to remove Hughton was made by the 'board' (Cockney Mafia) and as far as anyone on here knows (GolfMag included ) was not done by Alan Pardew. I understand and empathise with people being upset about Hughton being canned, but the people behind that decision are not called Alan Pardew. Pardew, if he does end up being appointed, looks increasingly likely to be carrying the anger of Ashley's/Llambias' decision-making. I don't necessarily rate him (for the record, I don't really have a view one way or the other, he's a bit of an unknown), I just think he's coming in for a lot of unfair abuse in this thread. Is this WUM-tastic enough Davros? I think most of the anger will be directed at Ashley tbh. We all knew Hughton wasn't a world class manager but we liked him and trusted him to do the best he could in a difficult situation - and so did the players. He'd got stuck in when the club most needed it and he earned a lot of credit for that. For West Ham fans Pardew divides opinion sharply. Some speak highly of him and they liked the football the club played under him, others can't stand him. The majority view amongst our fan base is that Pardew is at best an underwhelming appointment and it seems beyond any sort of logic that its worth driving a lorry through the club's stability to replace Hughton with him. Pardew will need to get some results but if he delivers there won't be too much venom going his way imo. However the mistrust in Ashley and lack of faith in his decision making has probably just doubled, if that were possible. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Mantis Posted December 7, 2010 Share Posted December 7, 2010 All NE journalists seem to think its going to be Pardew. What the f***!!!! Ashley must be one of the thickest f***ing men in Britain clearly it isnt him then. NE journo's know nowt Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexthegreat Posted December 7, 2010 Share Posted December 7, 2010 "Regrettably the board now feels that an individual with more managerial experience is needed to take the club forward." "The big reason cited behind the scenes is that they want a boss who can attract the Sky cameras to St James’ more often, at almost £500,00 per televised match. While Hughton’s measured exterior was just what the club needed to calm the chaos of the relegation season, Ashley and his cohorts reckon that more spark is needed to sell the club now they are surrounded by the glitz and worldwide profile of the Premier League." www.mirrorfootball.co.uk/news/ So Alan Pardew it has to be then. Still the financially catastrophic 2nd relegation and who knows how long of being shit will all be worth it for that extra £0.5m in tv money Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

In reality people were starting to respect the club again and had time for Hughton and how he's gone about his business meaning neutrals would actually rather see us do well. Though now with him gone and us being evil again means more people will want to see us crash and burn so we should get a few more games on sky due to this so Ashley suppose plan may still yet work.

timeEd32 Posted December 7, 2010 Share Posted December 7, 2010 How the fuck is Alan Pardew going to attract Sky cameras? Appointing a proper manager and winning some matches is the best way to be televised every week. If that's true it's just pathetic. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueStar Posted December 7, 2010 Share Posted December 7, 2010 How many teams have had more matches televised than us this season? And will Sky really go "Wow, with a charismatic go-getter like Pardew at the helm, we'd better be there every week!" Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted December 7, 2010 Share Posted December 7, 2010 Maybe they mean the inevitable protests and general malaise. Always makes good telly, especially when they can take the piss out of us lot. Would suit Ashley down to the ground. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

quayside Posted December 7, 2010 Share Posted December 7, 2010 I'm really not sure about that Sky tv stuff being a reason for getting rid of Hughton. It came from Simon Bird and he's a c*nt. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frazzle Posted December 7, 2010 Share Posted December 7, 2010 I don't know if you're joking or not quayside but I see a lot of people who seem to hate Simon Bird. He was called a cunt by Joe Kinnear after Bird wrote an article slagging off Kinnear, something most of use would've probably done in the same situation. Bird is generally pro-Newcastle - he travels to games with Caulkin all the time, just writes for a shitter paper. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ponsaelius Posted December 7, 2010 Share Posted December 7, 2010 Imagine if they appointed him and give him a fair kitty to spend in January. I think it'd piss me off even more, Hughton would have us top 7 with an acceptable transfer budget over the summer. Instead he had to basically beg to get Ben Arfa for nowt and probably get on his hands on knees for the money to bring in our best signing in years.
