sempuki Posted February 1, 2014 Share Posted February 1, 2014 Christ, this is depressing. I can think of literally nothing we can do that will realistically get him to leave. I certainly can't afford to buy him out. I also hate the fact that he could read this board and see how annoyed we are about him. He'll probably love it and so will Kinnear (if he can read). I wouldn't be surprised if he gets his lackies to check forums for him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ElCid Posted February 1, 2014 Share Posted February 1, 2014 Sadly, that is probably true. But I think the club is capable of better results (and I don't mean winning games) and the goals for Pardew should be raised. achieving better results ie finishing higher risks europa league and in order to have a serious go at the high reward of champions league cash requires large investment which is a big no no I would say that he may get rid due to today putting more pressure on him after the transfer fiasco but I honestly don't think he gives a flying fuck about what we think. Any other Premiership club would of sacked Pardew after the derby and Liverpool games last year, the fact he didn't tells a big story. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdckelly Posted February 1, 2014 Share Posted February 1, 2014 Ashley is going no-where baring a Middle East Miracle......the best we can hope for is that Pardew is removed and a new competent manager brought in. I put my hopes in a business review where Ashley concludes that Pardew is not meeting his performance goals and is replaced. I don;t actually beleive that this will happen though. here's the thing, by the standards set out by the club before the season (top 10 finish) he is meeting his performance goals and also avoiding europe. Except in one regard, and that is he is devaluing the squad. If Ashley wants to buy players as future investments, the one surefire way to wipe millions off their value is to put a clueless manager in charge. The two major sales from players who were brought in under Pardew both turned a nice profit (7m odd for Ba, 15m odd for Cabaye) he's succeeded in that respect thus far. Those players sold themselves, and the run of form individually had little to do with Pardew. Cabaye hit a hot streak with his eyes on the world cup and that probably added a few million to the final price. How is that going to happen with the likes of Santon, Sissoko, HBA and Tiote? These are players that need a manager who can mould a team, not jumble random players until he gets a nice result. usually when a manager moulds a team he has a say in the transfers in and there's a philosophy behind the purchases. He doesn't have that say and the only philosophy is "value" not even the needs of the squad just who's cheap nothing will change in this respect until Ashley goes and its a chaotic way to run a club. We will continue to have ups when we hit the jackpot on a good player and major dips like this when we sell our most important player the one which the entire team and tactics were built around and don't bother to replace him.

Darth Crooks Posted February 1, 2014 Share Posted February 1, 2014 I can confidently hand on heart state I would much rather be in the championship, with hungry championship players, fighting for premier league with a manager with a decent positive attitude and looking to win things. Sick of he whole situation of nothingness; balance sheets and treading water. If this is the Premier League in 2014 then fuck it. Leicester are up the road from where I grew up and I've had far more enjoyment following them attack the top of the championship and it kills me to say that. Thanks Mike you shitsucking fucking scum.

BlueStar Posted February 1, 2014 Share Posted February 1, 2014 Freddy Shepherd was in varying degrees an idiot, an oaf, a twat and a blaggard. But he cared what fans thought about him, even if it was only for his only vanity. And if the fans were pissed off about a manager enough, it would influence if he sacked him. If the fans were pissed off about results enough, it would make him try and sign someone to fix it, even if it might have been the wrong player. Under Ashley the fans don't have any power what so ever, because he gives absolutely zero fucks. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

As long as we're a Premier League side, it's job done. Getting dicked at home off your nearest rivals means nowt if you've already achieved your abysmally low objective.

He will go, but I fear it won't be for a long while and I honestly believe if some rich consortium were going to buy us, they would have by now.
