Elliottman Posted December 9, 2010 Share Posted December 9, 2010 As it seems inevitable, thought it would be worth having a look at some of the views from WHU and Southampton fans. First comment I come across was 'lock up your wives'. Good start. http://boards.footymad.net/forum.php?tno=551&fid=256&sty=2&act=1&mid=2119258914 http://boards.footymad.net/forum.php?tno=479&fid=224&sty=2&act=1&mid=2119238266 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elliottman Posted December 9, 2010 Share Posted December 9, 2010 'Lock up your wives. As a manager, did an o.k job with us unfortunately due to his other destractions lost it where it mattered. Some would like him back here, can´t say i mind either way as i preferred the football we played up until.... Would he be good enough to get us out of our situation?! I have my doubts' 'i like pardew , but i think the job at newcastle would be a bit too big for him tbh mate having said that , he might do very well but i think you'd have been better off keeping hughton than swapping him for pards ( if the rumours are true' 'lock up yer mrs jordies, parsnips in town. dont feel sorry for him SR, in that meeting with cortese he said "he gave him NO choice but to let him go" IMO that means he was chasing fonte's mrs with his trousers round his ankles' Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cunning_Linguist Posted December 9, 2010 Share Posted December 9, 2010 From friends I have spoken to (West Ham and Southampton Fans) they have all said that they thought 'Pards' was a better than average manager and did a reasonably good job for them. They all said that he was pretty good with the media and seemed to get the teams playing together BUT they each shared the same oppinion as the guys on the Footie Mad Forums - LOCK UP YOUR WIVES! At the end of the day if he turns out to be a shitter, someone just needs to tell Pards that Andy Carroll's bird was giving him the eye and then let nature run its course. It wouldnt be long before Big Andy knocked him the fuck out. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted December 9, 2010 Share Posted December 9, 2010 I don't think he's a terrible manager, West Ham fans I've spoken to don't seem to hate him that much. If he was replacing Sam Allardyce instead of Chris Hughton, and not working under Mike Ashley, I might have a more optimistic view of it all. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed, it's more what his appointment means for the future of the club that concerns me For example, Carroll, Jose, Ben Arfa? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Roger Kint Posted December 9, 2010 Share Posted December 9, 2010 But Pardew has so much more experience than Hughton. He has won a whole 19 Premier League games more over a much longer peroid....... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he was replacing Sam Allardyce instead of Chris Hughton, and not working under Mike Ashley, I might have a more optimistic view of it all. if he'd been replacing allardyce i'd be fucking ecstatic. i have no idea what pardew will be like, it's a horrible and unnecessary situation to be in though. the situation wasn't broken and didn't need fixing.

steve_69 Posted December 9, 2010 Share Posted December 9, 2010 No club or business ever went forward by hiring a manager who was less talented and less popular than his predecessor. In short, we're fucked! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bad Mongo Posted December 9, 2010 Share Posted December 9, 2010 Exactly what most people think. Very strange that Sir John Hall and especially Freddie Shepherd (who does have a big axe to grind against the current regime) have both come out publicly and said they'd have done exactly the same They probably think some positivity will help against the inevitable drop in morale. Of course Freddie Shepherd's comments about Hughton being 'too nice' are proven false: FS sacked a nice man (SBR) and replaced him with an utter cunt, who then destroyed the team. Hell, even Roeder did better than some of the cunts we've had in charge, despite having to play a team of mainly youngsters and being well out of his depth. And out of all the managers the club has had since SBR, Hughton has evidently been the most successful, and the nicest. Either he's just spouting bullshit for the sake of it, or he's too old to learn from his own mistakes. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest tlatish Posted December 9, 2010 Share Posted December 9, 2010 From friends I have spoken to (West Ham and Southampton Fans) they have all said that they thought 'Pards' was a better than average manager and did a reasonably good job for them. They all said that he was pretty good with the media and seemed to get the teams playing together BUT they each shared the same oppinion as the guys on the Footie Mad Forums - LOCK UP YOUR WIVES! At the end of the day if he turns out to be a shitter, someone just needs to tell Pards that Andy Carroll's bird was giving him the eye and then let nature run its course. It wouldnt be long before Big Andy knocked him the f*** out. < This is a good plan. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He got them 22 points from the next 19 games, really don't think he could be blamed for sending them down like. however he can be blamed for leaving them in the relegation spots in the Championship, losing 10 league matches by November and getting knocked out of the carling cup by Yeovil. quite a contrast to the way Hughton managed a side freshly relegated from the premiership. Charlton fans absolutely despise him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheshire Mag Posted December 9, 2010 Share Posted December 9, 2010 A West Ham fan who I work with says he was ok at WHU but got too close to the players, even bought one a Ferrari. Also went out on the lash with them, look forward to see him in the papers with Carroll and Nolan in Tiger Tiger. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
