David28 Posted March 30, 2013 Share Posted March 30, 2013 I reckon even bastarding Souness could get more out if this squad than this plank. I don't. Honestly, I remember Parker, Dyer and Jenas running into each other against Man City (ha, how ironic that is) in Souness' last game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Interpolic Posted March 30, 2013 Share Posted March 30, 2013 I'd pull out all the stops to get someone like Martin Jol in, not that it's really our style to do so. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Venkman Posted March 30, 2013 Share Posted March 30, 2013 Needs to go at the end of the season if someone better is willing to take the job, which is unlikely. Beggars belief this like. Our recruitment is the envy of the all the teams in the league that aren't mega rich. We absolutely could attract a better manager than Alan Pardew man, without a doubt. I've no faith in this lot whatsoever to bring in anyone up to the job. It may be a completely baseless opinion but I really do think they would prefer to work with a British manager and we would therefore be stuck with another Pardew clone. I cannot imagine them going out onto the continent and picking up a Laudrop, but I hope I'm wrong. It's not baseless at all, they've never appointed a foreign manager. edit - and more importantly ability isn't what they're looking for in a manager. which is why we've been lumbered with Pardew.

maze Posted March 30, 2013 Share Posted March 30, 2013 Biggest mistake of the season is not getting rid of this clown. He'll either cost us the place in EPL or cause a mass exodus in the summer... HA! or even both ....... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

toontownman Posted March 30, 2013 Share Posted March 30, 2013 Wow you actually have faith that they would replace pardew. his management style is the same as their business model play uber safe and try and get the maximum out. He is going nowhere, infact I fully expect him to be out manager in September regardless or what league we are in. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Dontooner Posted March 30, 2013 Share Posted March 30, 2013 Need to get to safety soon, hate to be handed a "i told you so" by Wullie at the end of the season even if we would have won the europa which i much rather lose and stay in the EPL.

Parky Posted March 30, 2013 Share Posted March 30, 2013 MA is very unpredictable. It's not written in stone that he won't ditch Pard. They've come upto speed very quickly on bringing talent in way below market prices and sooner or later they'll be looking at managers. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted March 30, 2013 Share Posted March 30, 2013 It depends what the criteria for a new manager is. In the past it's been who's the cheapest. The recruitment procedure would be no different to the way we procure players. Look to pay little and get those who outperform their fee. Last year they'll have assumed they had acheived the same with Pardew tbh, hence the big contract. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He doesn't really mix with the players though. I imagine he has regular contact with the rest of the top staff and he comes across as someone who would prefer one of the lads in those positions.

Guest Slippery Sam Posted March 30, 2013 Share Posted March 30, 2013 Genuinely think talk of him being replaced is laughable. If this season is repeated then there's a slight possibility we'll make a change but otherwise he's here for the long term. His ambitions match those of the club perfectly; pushing this 'punching above our weight' agenda all the time. We can't compete and we don't. The worrying thing for me is that the new players are making less of an impact with every game we play. Was there a honeymoon period? The 'honeymoon period' was when the new players couldn't understand what he was saying so did what they thought a football team was supposed to do. Now they can understand what he's telling them...... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted March 30, 2013 Share Posted March 30, 2013 I think he'll survive into next season regardless, but we'll have to start well for him to keep the job. Llambias - the well known bastion of truth and integrity - said everyone is entitled to one bad season, this is most definitely Pardew's. Anything more and they'll get rid. Just as an addendum: as of today only Reading have lost more games than us and we've now conceded more goals away from home than anyone else. It's been a travesty of a season in the league and the buck stops with the manager. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
