Wallace Posted November 18, 2012 Share Posted November 18, 2012 He talks a good game but the reality is very different. I remember how Cabaye said he was attracted to the club because Pardew wanted to instill a fluid passing game and he was to be a key part of that and I wonder what he must think. It was frustating seeing how Swansea passed the ball around yesterday - the quick movement, accurate passing and their players always making themselves available to receive a pass. Most of the other teams, even struggling ones, seem to be playing decent football regardless of the players available and we seem to be being left behind.

SteveMc Posted November 18, 2012 Share Posted November 18, 2012 Funny how people got laughed at after the West Ham game when some were saying they wanted him out but now, just one game later people seem to think differently.. Maybe not calling for his head, but i doubt many would be too disappointed if he got sacked now (that wont happen though) Personally i have never believed in him, not even after last season, not to 100% anyway. I would fire him now if i had the choice, why wait if you know he's not the right man for this? Will just make it worse for us in the long term if we wait. I love football when played the right way, and i dont think we'll ever see this with Pardew as manager, and it hurts. Maybe people just don't feel the need to repeat the position they made clear last week, dude? A problem has been evident for some time and a concern is becoming a serious worry, but it would still be lunacy to advocate sacking the man at this point. Spot on.

Not many are tbf, but how long do you think we can put up with results and performances like this, bearing in mind how many players we're going to need to keep again next summer?

Tiresias Posted November 18, 2012 Share Posted November 18, 2012 I think he was telling the truth that he wanted us playing passing along the floor stuff but is not a great believer in real tinkering, instead relying on players to sort it out themselves on the pitch and motivating them properly, in line with the Redknapps and Warnocks of the footy world. Problem is when motivating stops working, it's just not enough. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest malandro Posted November 18, 2012 Share Posted November 18, 2012 I would be gutted if he was sacked now. The possibility is ludicrous anyway, no idea why people are wasting posts on it. It might have something to with our current points total being greater than our form has merited. Not only have we picked up some very fortuitous points but seven of our twelve games so far have been at home. We have, to be blunt, been woeful. Agree that talk of sacking AP is premature but we have a lot of difficult games in December and unless our form picks up soon we risk getting dragged into the relegation battle. Never thought I'd be saying that at the start of the season. Something has to change and if Pardew can't work out what that is then it is almost certainly the manager. Whether the club would have the balls to get shot of him after making a big song and dance about stability and eight year contracts is another question.

AyeDubbleYoo Posted November 18, 2012 Share Posted November 18, 2012 We should of course be talking about our problems and what the solutions might be, I just think it's insanely premature to talk about changing the manager. I would be very disappointed if it happened, because yet again we would be letting fear of a short term downturn ruin any chance of stability.

WarrenBartonCentrePartin Posted November 18, 2012 Share Posted November 18, 2012 It's also depressing to think who the fuck we could get in to replace him. Regardless of the 8 year contract (which I'm sure is riddled with loopholes and get-out clauses) I can't think of anyone that would be an improvement and also happy to work under MA and DL.

I would be very disappointed if it happened, because yet again we would be letting fear of a short term downturn ruin any chance of stability. The fear of investing money is our biggest problem. The club is so obsessed about making profits in the short term that they risk making long term problems. When Pardew was appointed he made a big thing of how he was harder than Hughton and would be banging on the chairmans door for funds. He then went out of his way to defend last summer's lack of investment. He treats the supporters like idiots and is rapidly losing their trust.

Nor is it justification for sticking with an unquestionably failing manager, if Pardew gets to that point. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Geordie Posted November 18, 2012 Share Posted November 18, 2012 Yup - keeping our 'bigger players' in the summer, was deemed by the club (and Pardew) as a successful window. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't see it happen soon, but Pardew will have to step down one way or another, just a question of time. Really want it to work out, but i just can't see it happening.

Beren Posted November 18, 2012 Share Posted November 18, 2012 It has been embarrassing how many managers we have had in the last decade or so, stability is something we need or we will always struggle to stay a top team season in season out My least favourite footballing cliche. When you get a good manager, then try to keep him for 10+ years. Unless Ashley is mates with Martinez, Jol or some other decent coach and both parties are willing to work harmoniously it's all a moot point though. We're stuck with Pardew, no point twisting to nothing so we have to stick until Ashley goes, becomes mates with a better coach or kicks Pardew out of the regime (which we're a million miles away from IMO).

Robster Posted November 18, 2012 Share Posted November 18, 2012 Obvious of course but it rests in the hands of the players. If he 'loses the dressing room', then we are fucked. I don't believe there is any coming back once the players lose faith and respect in the manager and his tactics. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't agree with the 8 year contract that we gave pardew, not the fact he got an extension, just the 8 years. We have to give him time to stabilize this club, we have went from manager to manager and that clearly has not worked IMO. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The bit in bold is horse piss and that's not aimed at you, it's aimed at the thought of "We have to give him time to stabilize this club." Just because we give him time doesn't mean that he'll stabilise the club. He could just as easily go the other way and take us backwards and giving him time could make matters far worse than they are now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Logic Posted November 18, 2012 Share Posted November 18, 2012 If Pardew can't turn this round (start playing football) there's going to be a few players looking around for a move. Disturbingly I can't see Pardew changing it, hope I'm wrong. If I were Ashley I'd replace him tomorrow if I was SURE I was getting a better man in. Trouble is I don't think Ashley knows much about football and what would constitute a better man. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
