54 Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 Probably ben asked, but would people rather we finished 17 and survive by the skin of our teeth if it meant Pardew got sacked, or would you rather we have a decent end to the season? I think I would rather Pardew got sacked tbh. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr Venkman Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 His plan was non-existent yesterday but he was badly let down by some of his so called star players too. Absolutely. Tried to say this yesterday and got the usual reaction. It was shit from everyone, not just the manager. I'm not having it. I can understand people don't want upheaval, but this head in the sand mentality is going to see us drifting next season as well. I've said enough times why I think he's not up to the job so I'm not going to repeat myself but two words will say more about his short-comings than anything else: Set pieces. Some people are just looking for a bit of balance, it's fair enough as the players were awful. However, we all know that when a player has a bad game it's not necessarily the manager's fault, but when a team is out of form collectively and individually, it's the manager.

Dr Venkman Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 I posted this months ago but my absolute worst nightmare is us getting relegated, because then we'd have Pardew as our manager in the Championship. Think about how bad that would be. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikejaxer Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 I wanted him to go in December. Now we could be in the s*** again and it's too late to sack him. If we sack him we'd be taking a massive gamble, if we don't sack him then we're also taking a massive gamble. And I wouldn't be surprised if he's still next season.

Guest neesy111 Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 For me the contrast between the 2 managers was staggering yesterday. Pardew looked absolutely lost out there 2nd half. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheHoob Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 Not as convinced as everyone else is that they won't get rid of him at the end if the season, it does scare me who they'd get in instead though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skeletor Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 Pardew admitted that Krul’s absence was a significant factor during the defeat. He told the Chronicle: “Maybe if Tim hadn’t got injured at that crucial point, it could have been 1-1, and we could have had an extra sub with extra energy. “We could have brought on an extra offensive or defensive player, or whatever we needed. http://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/newcastle-united-could-face-keeper-2596558 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 Did Pardew really say we could challenge for the top 4 this season? Yep, as recently as 2nd November: http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/20183213 ie before we spent £20m on players he said we desperately needed to avoid relegation.

I genuinely don't know why you've said that. I'm not trying to be funny, but the set pieces are where a manager can have a direct input and you can actually see where some thought has gone into the training. On the evidence of what we've seen in two years under Pardew do you think he's shown his nous in that department in any way whatsoever? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
