JH Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 I'm by no means content with Pardew but sacking him is pointless because we won't get anyone better. We only stand to lose. This. I'm amazed there's such a strong opposing view on here. Keeping him probably means we're going down, getting rid might keep us up. Sense! What's the point of keeping him when it doesn't look like we can even luck our way to safety? We're nosediving. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
littlelunchbox Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 Feel for him with the Cisse thing - he'll have prepared with Ba in the middle and to lose him on the day of the game makes things very difficult. To accommodate Cisse in middle he'd have had to change the formation from the one which he has prepared the team to play. what? Makes me laugh with bemusement, even with Ba gone Pardew still sticks with his policy of "If I don't play 4-4-2 im going to stick a striker out on the wing" The man has proven not only tactically inept, but mentally low on I.Q. I'd love to see the man take an I.Q test as he's very much a stats man, because I can't see the results being very high. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flip Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 Reminding me so much of Glenn Roeder it's not even funny. Doesn't realize his mistakes one bit. Shola up top and Cisse on the right? Are you fucking kidding me? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
worthy Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 I don't think we should sack him, after all he did get us to fifth. BUT we do need a stern f***ing word telling him that if we get relegated he's get the sack. Still can't get over his squad selection tonight, Cisse was gagging to be great but Pards tactics denied him. Agreed. That's a shocking post. What you wanna sack a manager who got us to FIFTH because the board is s****. I know his tactics are crap but hopefully he will learn from tonight, if next week he tries the same crappy selection he did this week then I will retract my words completely. Have you seen our other games? He turns to his fucking hoofball after we let a sweaty goal grab us, then tell the defenders to hoof it at any given moment you could see him asking our whole back-four to get it up by air. And giving players far too long in the squad e.g Jonas, Ameobi and now Tiote. After performance's given by Tiote, Jonas and Ameobi they should all be benched. How about his substitutions, taking off Obertan when he actually was playing quite decent and was our only attacking outlet. This to accommodate for his hoof-it-to-shola-and-hope-for-a-flick tactic. Isn't it worrying that we didn't really create that much and only scored through one of the biggest fluke goals this year? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LV Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 Look, if we get rid of Pardew they'll only bring someone like Curbishley in. It's pointless. I've not got much faith in him right now but the alternatives scare the hell out of me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Big Al Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 Pardew out would probably mean Kinnear in, and I'm not even joking. And what's the difference, would you be so kind to elaborate? Kinnear is shockingly clueless. So is AP. no doubt So what would be the point of changing? It would cost the club money and look stupid to transfer targets. I'm by no means content with Pardew but sacking him is pointless because we won't get anyone better. We only stand to lose. A change gives the club a chance to avoid relegation. It can be Kinnear, but there's a chance for someone else, even on a ST contract, with the goal just to beat the drop, because MA will want to preserve the PL bonanza at all costs - even Di Matteo, who knows how to close the shop, won't be a bad choice, given our current plight [no way his team will leak 11 goals for just 2 games]. With Pardew at the helm - the direction for the club is clear - it begins with the 'R'-word. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interpolic Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 He really should have played Cisse central tonight, he changes formation/personnel 10 times a game yet he's not flexible enough to change his starting lineup at short notice? He should have trained this week with Ba on the wing in any case, since it became embarrassingly obvious the other day that he was itching to get out of the club.

Yorkie Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 Basically repeating myself here, but if i was Chairman, i'd only sack Pardew if i had the means to poach a really top replacement. This won't be popular... but i do think people are exaggerating when they say we're definitely going down. The situation isn't completely desperate and there are nine points up for grabs now. Again 'if i was Chairman', i'd assess the situation after these next three games. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
B-more Mag Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 A few good players this window and the return of a few good players from injury could counteract Pardew's shitness until summer, when we could better address a replacement for him. Obviously not the ideal, but, in reality, is it any different than last year (i.e., players papering over Pardew's crack)? My worry about replacing him now is that it could as easily have a negative impact as a positive one. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree totally, but I just have to have blind faith that he will kick it up the ass for the next game. If he even dares to put Shola anywhere near the first team then I shall be calling for his sack completely. And I mean PL games not cup matches.

toontownman Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 It is not like he has even show us he knows what to do tactically over the past year and a half. He isn't a young up and coming manager either. He seems to have implemented a great togetherness at the club and training ground, but that isn't necessarily just him responsible for that. He also seems to be good at blooding new signings and giving them time, this myth comes from his insistence of not playing the likes of Marveaux and Hatem until he really had to. Which could have quite plausibly been an accident dressed up as "easing people in". Despite managing free flowing sides at West Ham, Reading and Charlton, we are yet to see any semblance of attacking fluidity although the last few games has been as good as any under him. We had an awful lot of luck as well as some great finishing and defending last year to see us 5th, again I am not convinced that has anything to do with how he set the squad up. In fact it could be in spite of his tactics. Either he needs to sack off or demote Carver or some of his coaching staff and get assistants that can help him with tactics or he needs to sack himself. Patience might be the answer but it is hard to give when you are seeing something special to you being wrecked weekly in front of your eyes. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
