AyeDubbleYoo Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 While Ashley is in charge, Pardew's approach to working with him is perfect. He cannot make Ashley do anything he doesn't want to, and he needs to accept that. It's the best way to run the club in harmony and stability.

Guest bimpy474 Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 To all the lads who replied. I'm angry at what Pards said about being grateful, he didn't need to say it. He has told us we needed three top players and we have only brought in one. In no way do i blame him for that i know its the board. But i read the Carroll chase was political one not a genuine one. What to get our hopes up (a lot didn't want him back i know). Thats complete bollocks right there, along with the Grateful stuff it just really bugged me. Pards didn't need to say either.

Guest neesy111 Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 It's so clear from those comments how little say Pardew has in terms of transfers and how unbelievably grateful he is to Ashley for giving him the job. I think the lack of balance in their relationship might not be a good thing for the club. Pardew has done incredibly well, but Ashley will always point to the fact that he is on top of things as he granted Pardew his way back into the Premiership. Of course we need players, but Pardew has no "right" to demand such things. It's all on Ashley's terms. It's fine for now, but a poor season and it'll have backfired on us.

He means that Liverpool were desperate not to do business with us, and accepted another bid, for political reasons (i.e. they didn't want to lose face by selling him back to us for so much cheaper). He said it was a political bid by us. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye, but like Ian W said above; there are probably very few other managers around that would work with Ashley under these conditions. You could question Pardew's pride and morale, but as things stand, this way of running our club seems as if it's working to a suprisingly great extent. I'm happy with it for now. I just hope it doesn't turn ugly when Ashley decides it's time to cash in for sure. We've gone three windows without selling any player who hasn't expressed a will to leave. Should be about time within the next year. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 Pardew deserves credit for how he has worked out how to work with Ashley IMO. You could say he could cause a fuss and walk out if he doesn't get his way enough, but that's just posturing really. He has presided over a very good period for the club.

He said it was a political bid by us. Exactly. To those who say it wasn't a poitcal bid by us could you explain why Pards said this. "For us the Andy Carroll one was a political move that perhaps wasn't going to go our way," Pardew admitted.

Should be about time within the next year. They're my thoughts too. Seems ok for now with a strong looking XI but when we're competing on 4 fronts with a thin squad we're asking for trouble really. We could easily have an up and down season, finish about 7th/8th and our better players may want to move on. I'm sure they're as frustrated as Pards' and us with the lack of new faces.

Hughesy Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 It was a political move by Liverpool - they could not be seen to give Carroll back to us after they had spent £35 million on him. That is quite clear. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats fair enough Ian, it is open to debate how you interpret the comments. I'm just fed up this morning. I actually think it was the "we will look at if we need to bring someone in now Raylor's injured". If, its just insulting to our intelligence to suggest its an if.
