Yorkie Posted May 21, 2011 Share Posted May 21, 2011 We'll finish about 11th, with what is a severely depleted squad. If they're even thinking about consolidating our safety this transfer window, it's a joke. The absolute bare minimum next season should be top half.

Guest Flatline Posted May 21, 2011 Share Posted May 21, 2011 Cant help the feeling that while I appreciated everything hughton did for us, he had carroll as a striker and even Ben arfa serving him 3 points, and even then he produced way more erratic results... depending on how much of the spring season results you credit to pardew I think they have been slightly more stable, especially when you take into consideration that we have no carroll/ben arfa Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

fredbob Posted May 21, 2011 Share Posted May 21, 2011 Having been against his appointment and despite the obvious improvements in certain aspects of our play I have to say Im still not sold on him, I just dont think he'll take, I also think that there is something Roeder-esque about his rent-a-quote nature, says all the right things, 'scouting set up', getting "bums off seats" players, "attacking football" etc, all just reminiscent of Roeders tenure. As Ive said Ive seen improvements in the team which perhaps were worth a couple more wins had they been implemented earlier in the season but i havent seen anything which has made me think that he can take our play to the next level, especially in a season where the 'normal level of play' returns. Just an opinion, I think he'll be here for another season then gone the season after that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

My predicition is that we'll be treading water for large parts of the season and with it being an Ashley appoint think this will be enough to keep him in the job for the season but wont be good enough the season after.

I just dont see us doing badly enough to warrant an early sacking. "Badly enough" being 14th place or less, hence one full season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the rumours are true, then he was one of the reasons the so-called hostile environment was created. There doesn't appear to be any hostility now, although I suppose it's possible that a few senior players might have been miffed that the easy going Hughton was being replaced.

TheGuv Posted May 22, 2011 Share Posted May 22, 2011 Apparently we're looking at 6 signings. A couple of £8-10 million players, and the rest bargain buys. Larrson's a no go because he wanted 50k a week. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
