toontownman Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 That should be it but I really think if we lose at Norwich, it really will be it. Huge game. I think it will be a draw. They won't sack him though. Regardless of injuries it's down to him to make sure we have a squad great enough to cope with the demands of the season. A good manager can motivate worse players than we have to play better. There is no excuse for today's performance. He can't come out with some bollocks about the sending off either (although he will), we were getting brutalized prior. I have zero faith in our coaching staff right now. Even with injuries we should be playing better with the personnel we have. They make the wrong decisions tactically and they set the team up to fail from the start. It is an absolute disaster right now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 Aye, the fact Pardew doesn't have much of a bearing on transfers might make it easier to get rid this month. Don't think it would have an affect on incomings. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spider Jerusalem Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 Not changed my mind since HT. He has to go. Managers have been sacked for a lot less than the run we presently find ourselves on. Leaving him in charge = relegation. The next match up is against the manager he replaced as he was a better option apparently. How ironic would it be.... .... but he'll still be here playing hoofball in the championship next season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nufc4eva Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 How come every manager except Keegan and Robson that we employ are so small minded same as the chairman/owners. No class whatsoever, no plan, no sense. I just can't see the on pitch vision for the club. I can accept the buying policy for players but fuck me there is no direction on the pitch and we can't even do basics well (Pass, Positioning, Throw Ins), I have never watched a team in last few years have such little idea with Set Pieces, Throw Ins, open play as we appear to.

Beren Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 Find it rather unbelievably the media aren't shit-stirring/speculating over him being sacked.

oldtype Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 I'm not even worried about transfers. It's who we'll actually appoint that scares me shitless. This board's record with appointing actual managers is, in order, Kevin Keegan, Joe Kinnear, Alan Shearer, and Alan Pardew. There are few things I fear more than letting them pick another manager.

Don't think it would have an affect on incomings. Every manager we have from now on should be given no longer than 2 year contract and renew after a year. Certainly not 8 years because it's gone to the fuckers head Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dyeyzzon Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 That should be it but I really think if we lose at Norwich, it really will be it. Chance of getting anything at Norwich are nil. I'd love to see Hughton be the one to strike the final blow, that would be fantastic karma after what this f***ing snake did to steal a man's job. Aye, forgot that Norwich was up next, at Carrow Road. Written in the stars. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Troll Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 Who's more incompetent? Pardew, or the fucks who decided he needed eight years? I'm still furious that we got rid of Hughton for this. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ElDiablo Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 I think it's pretty clear that he relies heavily on our good players to gloss over his tactical inability and he simply hasn't got a clue about how to coach a football team effectively and create something more than the sum of its parts. (see someone like Martinez who does it superbly) Needs to go at some point, either now or in the summer. We might scrape clear of relegation but he isn't the answer long term and I'll be disgusted if he's in charge next season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 Di Matteo would do pretty well with this set up, he's by no means brilliant but I think he'd jump at the chance. I'm not a massive fan, but right now we just need someone who has some basic idea how to deploy footballers in the right areas of the pitch. That's why I said Poyet, because he's clearly light years ahead of Pardew. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

toontownman Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 He won't be here next season, certain of it. Ashley probably wants to show backing and stability to the next manager, and he really is doing that right now. Season is going nowhere and as long as Ashley brings in a few quality players we will stay up. Then he will sack him, allowing a new manager to know he's got time and a good squad to start with. If we keep him and don't sign a CB and a replacement for Ba then it's clear the board are just playing a high stakes game of roulette with our club and eventually house always wins. wishful thinking. If we survive we will have "turned a corner" and he will have done a good job in showing he can turn things around. Seeing as Ashley won't hire a foreign manager, a Few signings this window is the best we can hope for. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Injuries were an issue today but the way AP approached the second half was an insult to the club and its supporters. Never trusted him. Can't stand his patter. Shit manager. Not worth sacking.

Cajun Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 Starting to lose me tbh and I'm the sort who will give people lots of time. Brighton didn't just outshine our passing today, they put in a better passing performance than we have all season. It's also getting silly that I am shocked when teams actually manage to defend and not just fall to pieces in the box. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
