Skeletor Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 Just don't know what Pardew has on Ashley. Any other manager at any other club would be sacked for results like this. At the end of the day, if we stay up - it's all cushty to Ashley. I get the feeling that any real success is nothing more than a bonus. Our team has no fight and is going down with a whimper yet his job still doesn't seem in danger at all. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Eggenberger Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 Three league games to turn it around/save his job imho. Needs 7 points from next three. I don't think we can afford to take that risk We have more chance of losing all 3 than getting 7 points with Pardew in charge. The longer we wait the narrower the escape tunnel will be. We need a "new manager effect" and we need it now, go into february with 25 points or less and its going to be a proper mud wrestle with other pigs down there, and they have way more experience in fighting for their life than we do.

TRon Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 I feel sorry for the players, they are clearly giving everything, but no one has a clue what their job is supposed to be. Most of that lot wouldn't be getting PL football without our stupidity, don't feel sorry for them. Mate, if you can defend the twat who plays Cisse on the wing up against Baines and Piienar, I think I'm entitled to give a bunch of players some credit for giving it their all despite not having any direction whatsoever.

johnnypd Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 It's amazing the amount of patience and generosity newcastle fans are showing Pardew tbh. "he's got till brighton/norwich/three games to turn it around", "i'm starting to go against him now" etc. We've been a joke for the entire season ffs. it's time to go NOW. It's more the worry as to who Ashley will bring in as his replacement tbh We're currently at the stage where any half-decent manager is going to give us a short term lift if only by having a honeymoon period. nothing we've tried all season has worked and we're only heading in one direction.

Tiresias Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 Got no tactical nous left, reliant on being direct and putting away chances but we have no ideas and no clues, he just encourages hoofing it to the box as soon as we're in any danger. Can't organise a midfield to control a game and our defence is a shambles. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScottishMagpie Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 He'll come out with the usual shite...

Spider Jerusalem Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 10 defeats in 13 games. 7 points from 39. Hughton would have actually been assassinated for that. Most likely - was sacked for getting 19 points by the start of December. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You having a laugh? I've laid into Pardew time and time again for not playing Cisse as a central striker. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tiresias Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 From an interview with Dean Ashton Hucks: i know you can't mention any names but he just did Reo Coker, so that's that question done? Dean: Well, there was a little but there wasn't that much because players actually liked Pardew. I think that the problem was that he was too nice, he let too many things go – that was probably the problem Hucks: Yeah. Dean: ...and in the end, when the chips were down, he didn't then have the authority to change big egos into big performances, if you know what I mean? Hucks: Yeah. Dean: He was their best mate, which, in the end, probably let him down. Hucks: But even since then, West Ham has been in turmoil, haven't they? Dean: Yeah. Hucks: I know that they've kind of been safe-ish over the last three or four seasons, but it seems to be heading in one direction - with all the money they've spent, as well. http://www.dh6.co.uk/s6a1n54p1/Dean-Ashton.html Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geordie Ahmed Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 Let's see what he's got to say for himself in the post-match interview...will he admit we're in a relegation dogfight now?

Dokko Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 How much more do we have to suffer before the board actually take action. Maybe the daft cunt doesn't know about Debuchy and is being cut out of the loop by the board. Hopefully a signal for the beginning of the end.

Ketsbaia Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 Such a bad manager, it's so painful to see this man in charge of those players. I'm actually disappointed the majority haven't turned on him yet, because the thought won't even enter Ashley's head until it becomes obvious.

garth Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 Now would not be good time to sack him. Especially if we are trying to buy some new players, it would turn players off with signing with us. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest TCD23 Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 No clue at all, absolute rubbish, Shola starting was a travesty. HOPEFULLY he'll realize this and start playing a proper formation, hopefully, I still have a bit of faith. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
toon25 Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 Just don't know what Pardew has on Ashley. Any other manager at any other club would be sacked for results like this. This is the crux for me. No other owner of a side that finished fifth last year would tolerate results of this nature. Pull the fucking trigger and start showing some ambition ffs. So fucking irritated. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
toontownman Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 He is in trouble.. I don't think he is in danger yet, but losing to Brighton and lack of signings will almost certainly blow the fans against him. Interesting to see what Derek and the Fat man will do. No coincidence the details of Pardews 8 year contract were leaked a short while ago. I don't think they will be too afraid to sack him. God help us if they do though, they won't get anyone better in.

colinmk Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 He is a total panicker during matches. We lose leads because of the holes in his tactics from the outset and as the games develop he loses his head and can't see the wood for the trees. He shouldn't have a bench full of youngsters but he's the manager responsible for this and a shite manager who will take us down. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
