I can't wait for us to get a new manager, like. We're going to be fucking amazing!

 

I'd take competent.

 

Not for long. :lol:

 

What?

 

Sorry. I meant that you'd not 'take' us being merely 'competent' for very long.

 

I don't know, I'm just not comfortable with statements, in nearly every thread, about how a new manager will automatically flick some switch to help us realise our potential. I've lost count of the amount of players who'd be world beaters under a competent manager. It's not, and obviously never has been, that simple.

How do you know how long I would or wouldn't accept competency?

 

I didn't make one of those statements, I said HBA would be great under good management, and I stand by that.

Just a guess, mate. It was just a bit of craic really, nothing definitive. But, you're obviously harder to please than the majority, after not enjoying a season when we finished fifth. It didn't seem like too much of a leap to come to that conclusion.

 

I wasn't trying to place the 'player x will be the best under a better manager' entirely on you, though. So apologies if it appeared that way.

Pardew is keen on James McCarthy from Wigan according to the Chronicle. Not really sure if it's relevant since hopefully he'll be sacked in the summer.

I immensely enjoyed that season, trust me  :pardsgrin: I was just worried about the football we played because I didn't think it was taking us anywhere long term. That said I completely embraced Pardew by the end of the season and said so, only to end up back where I started a few months in to this season due to various reasons.

 

I just didn't like the insinuation that I wouldn't be happy with a reasonable level of performance because I was worried about where the style of play would take us (and rightly so, as it turns out). If we'd performed reasonably this season I'd still be pissing and moaning about the football (as I was last season) but I don't think I'd be as balls out livid with him as I am now  :undecided:

 

edit - I'm also prone to making hyperbolic statements about HBA, because i love him and I'll be gutted if he leaves.

Kind of a pointless story at this stage of the season when we don't know which division we'll be playing in and we are unsure if this retard will still be in charge, even if he is he's not the one buying the players.

That's all fair enough. As I said, it wasn't a nasty dig, but rather a bit of craic (I'm desperately trying not to use the word banter here). I don't remember peoples posts from last year really, so was just going off what's been said recently. If I've misread that, then it's fine. People are understandably tetchy at the moment, so I should know better. I even managed to offend a couple of lads I wasn't talking to there! :lol:

Not a chance even if we did stay up, will be too expensive. Very good footballer though.

He was so, so highly rated. I like him, tidy footballer, I reckon he can push on too.

 

Used to live near me too :aww:

Spearing has been really good for us actually.

 

You guys are signing Trent Sainsbury from Central Coast, he looks the goods I think. Popovic has probably told Freedman about him. Strong, quick ball playing centre back.

I can't think of a good enough Sainsbury's pun.

 

Apparently Good has really good leadership skills, he is being bigged up as a future captain of Australia by media experts. Sainsbury looks to have a lot more athleticism to his game, Good was a better ball player. Imsure Pards has taken this out of his game.

Also depends if they go down though, they may need to sell him/he may hand in a transfer request. Meh, he's not French, never gonna happen!

Maybe, or that most Aussie footballers are sh*t

 

True that. Two I would rate as being potentially good enough for us are Robbie Kruse (Schurrle replacement at Leverkusen) and Tommy Oar .The rest are petty shit.
