Mick Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 He comes across very confident for a guy who has got sacked by a L1 club earlier in the season. I wonder why. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mick Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 Fair enough, but I see it completely differently. He's a bit of a c*** but I think they're taking advantage of that and stringing him along and lying to him. Otherwise he wouldn't be as lying to us as ridiculously as he is. Do you think he was lined up a month or so before he came here? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mick Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 I'm undecided. I wouldn't be surprised, but I'm not going to take it as gospel. We both know he was strongly tipped to have been coming here, I can't think of a more less likely appointment and he'd be the last name I would have used if I was trying to look like I knew something.

But who initiated things and made the decision? Because I doubt Pardew approached them and said "Hey, if you sack Hughton you know where I am". Yes he could have said "Now come on Mike, this is a bit unfair. I'll wait until Chris is sacked" but like I said, we all know he's a cunt. But my anger is directed more towards the man who went searching for a manager whilst he still had one in charge, rather than the puppet that answered the call.

I have no doubt that either Ashley or Llambias approached Pardew. He's still al liar for denying it and I wouldn't trust him as much as I wouldn't trust the people he works for.

Llambias lives in Essex and, as it happens, is a West Ham fan. A lot of West Ham fans (well of the ones that I know anyway) think Pardew was ok for them so maybe that's where the idea came from. Oh yeah and he loves a night out in the casino and owes Llambias shitloads of gambling debts etc etc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thespence Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 Pards top striker now is Bestie, that reminds me One of Ashley's chief reservations about Hughton is understood to have related to transfer dealings and player recruitment. Leon Best, a £750,000 buy from Coventry, is believed to have been a major bone of contention The few moves Hughton has been allowed to make in the transfer market have not impressed Ashley and Co. One of Calderwood’s recommendations, James Perch, has made a disastrous start to his Toon career since joining from Nottingham Forest. And striker Leon Best, signed for £2million from Coventry in February, has been a flop. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't have admitted it either like I've come to accept that things are shit and rotten at this club, and you have to take the positives as they come - as long as things on the pitch are ok then I can't really complain about the manager. He says things that he shouldn't and comes across as a cunt (I think I've stressed this too much ) but before tonight I was incredibly impressed with our performance in the league so far. I've got a feeling I won't be so impressed in a few weeks like. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do think a lot of their fans liked him. The feedback I get is that he liked to set up sides to attack and he's good at the media stuff. Fair point about Tevez and Mascherano but he didn't sign them and, as it turned out, neither was legally registered as I understand it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JH Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 I hope he turns out to be a good manager for us, I can't see it though. For what it's worth, I don't think we'll have a good manager or a good team under this regime. We can struggle on and have some sort of up/down form, but we'll never properly settle or progress whilst Ashley remains in charge. One day he'll decide it's time to go and someone will decide that they want to take over. Until then, we have to take each day and each match as it comes.
