Dave Posted November 21, 2011 Share Posted November 21, 2011 As a manager the worst thing you can do at St James Park is get off to a flying start because the Geordies swiftly raise expectations to unrealistic levels which makes the inevitable disappointment likely to lead to a sacking swiftly.

They're right like. The best thing you can hope for as a manager at Newcastle is that you lose every game... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lush Vlad Posted November 22, 2011 Share Posted November 22, 2011 The trouble with Pardew's teams come after a year or so. This is when effects of his management style come about. He produces teams who have an inflated sense of their own greatness and abilities as players. The players then think they only have to turn up on the pitch to win and don't work hard enough. West Ham fans will tell you the same and it happened at Charlton. Seems the total opposite to me, we've gradually improved as a team and I can't remember a Newcastle side working this hard collectively. In addition, Pardew talks a good game and but when things start to go wrong he won't take any responsibility for it. That attitude also rubs off on the players. Again, I just can't agree with that. He seems a very positive man and calls it as it is. Admitted he got it wrong against QPR this season and Stoke and Everton last season. Always praises the players, very rare that he blames someone else, even against Blackburn in the cup, he stopped short of saying we lost because of the ref, like Warnock, AVB or Fergie would. Instead, he just alluded to some poor decisions and the 'breaks' which is a favourite of his, along with FUCKING SUPERB Might have jumped the gun, but I think he's won me over! Still room for improvement, but last season and this he's been far better than I originally expected. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christmas Tree Posted November 22, 2011 Share Posted November 22, 2011 And most importantly he has also said how much he has learned from his past mistakes. Could well turn out to be a true great for us as long as he gets support from upstairs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hughesy Posted November 22, 2011 Share Posted November 22, 2011 I'd love to know what it was that Pards did that made all journalists think he was this arrogant, brash guy with a huge ego. They all seem to allude to various incidents, but never really explain why he was so disliked and give a decent reason. I am trying to think back to when he managed Reading and West Ham and I can't recall him being particularly objectionable. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am trying to think back to when he managed Reading and West Ham and I can't recall him being particularly objectionable. I always like him when he was manager of both those clubs. From what I remember, his manner in front of the press was pretty similar, maybe a bit more mature now. Either way, what he's doing now is working, and I don't see many people in the Premier League I would rather have as manager. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
