Jack Flash Posted April 24, 2013 Share Posted April 24, 2013 There's hundreds of pages of this stuff all over various former clubs' forums. Very few people have anything good to say about him and we'll be the same. http://www.fansnetwork.co.uk/football/southampton/fb_news.php?storyid=10351 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
littlelunchbox Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 Lets stop digging up old news, think most of us knew about his shitty history, that's why were bemused by the appointment in the first place. Most were willing to give him the benefit of the doubt anyway and hoping he might had finally learned from his past and even improved. Like the old saying a leopard never changes its spots. He is who he is, a complete turd. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

merlin Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 If they are thinking of giving him a limited number of games into next season then he's got to go at the end of this one. If we give him 10 games and decide to replace him we'll be looking for another Pardew or Souness to come in. We'll be looking for managers who are our of work or are about to get the sack. The best thing the club can do it get this season over and dump him and move on. That's my view as well, I just don't think we can afford to sit on our hands and risk sabotaging another season. Players who are at important stages of their career don't have time to p*ss about while Pardew experiments with coaches, they will want to hit the ground running next season. I still think the next 4 games are massively important in Pardew's future. If we show some fight and cohesion he might get another crack. If we limp over the line and come close to getting relegated then he surely has to go. The fact we are still worrying about this with only 4 games left is a massive indictment in itself. You are both exactly right - failure to act in the close season means scratching around for the dregs of management if Pardew is fired half-way through next season. As for him producing any decent performances between now and the season's end, its too late - IF he had a decent record at other clubs you would give him another chance if the side played well between now and then. He hasn't and we cannot afford to waste another season..... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
merlin Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 Looking to bring in a new coach according to Douglas in The Journal. Good news. That'll depend on who it is, i have my fingers crossed it's someone decent. It's certainly preferable to just sticking with Pardew with no change of personnel anywhere. If we are stuck with him, I'd at least want a some fresh impetus/ideas in the coaching methods. Just papering over the cracks....KK once brought in Lawrenson as our 'defensive coach' but it didn't make any difference - we still lost the title to Man U and our style of play didn't really alter. Why didn't WHU, Charlton or Southampton consider bringing in a new coach before they fired him ? The answer is that they obviously weren't happy with having him in charge.....

merlin Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 It's better than sticking with what hasn't worked this season. Some fresh ideas wouldn't go amiss. People need to get out of this mentality that Pardew's on the cusp of being sacked IMO. Just because you don't want him to be sacked won't stop a large percentage of fans looking at his record and the awful performances of the side and thinking he SHOULD be sacked. If he doesn't go in summer, we will be looking for a second-rate replacement by December.... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Varadi Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 http://www.kumb.com/article.php?id=2052 - written whilst he was managing West Ham in the second tier. Quite a lot of salient points in there too. That article is a scary read. The bits about him spectacularly failing to get the team to perform in really big matches rings especially true after the derby defeat. I had been clinging on to some hope that he might actually learn from his mistakes this season, but reading that and the Southampton fan piece suggest this isn't a bloke who is going to do much changing.

nufc4eva Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 If it's happened at so many clubs it has to be him. Scary reading that stuff as that's exactly what I see. He really is totally wank Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest palnese Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 I'm not looking forward to next season at all. I almost hope we start off badly so we can get rid of him. Assuming we stay up of course. Imagine him in the Championship. Huddersfield away? Better contain their superior players. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ishmael Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 Nor does Pardew appear to plan. The recent home loss to Preston was a disaster for Pardew’s team. This was probably the turning point of the whole season. So much depended on that one game – a six pointer. It was preceded by an uninterrupted week – no internationals or cup games to distract attention. Pardew should have approached the game like a cup final. Preparation should have been planned all week long and the players should have studied Preston’s strengths and weaknesses and been totally focused. A game plan should have been worked on all week in training so that by Saturday everyone should have been totally up for it. Instead we saw a gutless lack lustre performance where an aimless team drifted through such an important game without really raising a stir. That pathetic performance, and subsequent result, was all down to poor preparation. Clearly the manager is to blame.

Of course i cant, his post has nothing to do with his personal feelings on Pardew being sacked or not. You would understand that if you read it.
