Zippity Posted March 28, 2014 Share Posted March 28, 2014 Wants to see a more attacking team next season. Is he replacing the gaffer like? Trying to sell season tickets. Cynic. Sorry, I mean 'realist'. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest JS Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 Just thinking about Ashleys tenure here and what will happen when he does finally leave at some stage. The longer he stays here and s***s on this clubs heritage and once decent reputation (wel.. in spells.. ), it will take as long, if not longer, to have this rebuilt under the next ownership I hadn't really considered this before, but surely if this keeps up any longer players will surely view us as a 2 bit, stepping stone club ? It's starting already Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

A owner that actually gives a shit and is astute enough to realise how shit we are playing and how awful the manager is would be great. I would take a owner with nowhere near as much as Ashley if they put a structure in place that lets the club breathe again. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kanj Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 The richer the owner, the quicker our club's proud name is restored to the mass. I don't disagree with you, I'd take Southampton or Everton style ownership and be happy with slow measured build-up and success - but that would mean we bring in exciting payers & cultivate youth squad + playing great football. But then agin, Life is too fucking short man, and I'd like to enjoy football again and even get a glimmer of a trophy somewhere. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest neesy111 Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 I've heard incredible things about our academy for the last 12 years, fuck all has happened in terms of players coming through. Beardsley is a joke of a coach as well from what I've heard. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beardsley is a joke of a coach as well from what I've heard. He's also Ashley's little lapdog as far as I'm concerned. One of our best ever players imo but as you say he does what he is told. Quite sad really. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very much agree with this. I just can't get my head around it. He can't be THAT despersate for cash and work surely. Sullying his rep big style for me.

Guest reefatoon Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 Beardsley has sold his soul to the devil. He was an absolutely fantastic player for us, but christ on a bike, the tussling between him and Pardew to see who can get their tongue the furthest up Ashley's hoop is embarrassing. Going way down in my estimations. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beren Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 Those quotes alone don't seem damning. It wouldn't surprise me if Ashley was actually investing well on the academy - as it'd mean he'd get more Carroll-esque paydays and avoid more signing fees - though with Pardew, I don't know how anyone youngster could break into the first team, so it's all a bit self-defeating even if there is some genuine good work going on at youth levels.

There's no philosophy throughout the club where a youngster could come into the side and know exactly how the players around him would be playing, this is because we change tactics all the time etc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest neesy111 Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 This is why building great facilities is almost useless if the set-up of the academy is hopeless and the coaches are shite. They are all interlinked together, if you do get all parts of the academy working correctly then you will then see players coming through. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

binnsy Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 more arse licking from Beardsley, i would doubt he would get a coaching job at any other premier league side. From what i have seen of him at reserve and youth team games his main use and purpose is putting out the cones and handing out bibs! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
