Spider Jerusalem Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 We should be able to at least compete with a Championship team with the players we had. That was rank. Aye. And the current way we are playing we'll be competing with a lot more Championship teams next season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jordan Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 I'm now 100% certain that if Alan Pardew is still in charge of this football club at the end of the season we'll be playing championship football next season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrmojorisin75 Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 As much as this whole display has been woeful, as has most of the season, getting rid of him now (in the middle of transfer season) would be absolutely the wrong decision. We need players. The last thing we want is for the owner to have the perfect excuse not to buy at LEAST 1 more player. That being said, he has exactly the next 3 PL games to turn this around or I'm officially joining the Pardew out club (as much as I don't want to). My head still says it's the wrong decision, but I really just can't take it anymore. He has the next match and that's it as far as I'm concerned. Not that my opinion matters. arguably our transfer policy makes it easier to ship him if you ask me, pardew doesn't have total control of transfers and any incoming manager would have a very talented squad to work with Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Revolution Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 He has no clue, completely lost on that touchline. We need a manager capable of managing a Premier League club. Watching us bring the keeper up past the half way line to float the dead balls into Shola absolutely killed me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ExiledGeordie Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 The manner of that performance was pretty galling really. He's even starting to lose me a bit. Next 3 games decide his fate really. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 Setting aside everything about his ability, him going straight down the tunnel after that and with that support there actually sickens me.

GeordieT Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 Is this the right poll? Even if people don't want him sacked, who in the right mind hasn't lost faith in Pardew? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wullie Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 That should be it but I really think if we lose at Norwich, it really will be it. Chance of getting anything at Norwich are nil. I'd love to see Hughton be the one to strike the final blow, that would be fantastic karma after what this fucking snake did to steal a man's job.

Big Geordie Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 Not changed my mind since HT. He has to go. Managers have been sacked for a lot less than the run we presently find ourselves on. Leaving him in charge = relegation. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldtype Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 That should be it but I really think if we lose at Norwich, it really will be it. Time for people to think of alternatives as there's every chance we'll get nothing at Norwich either. I'd like Martinez, but I don't see us spending much so I've already given a cheap alternative in the other thread. Who else is a candidate? I don't know the foreign market very well. Realistically we're looking at the list of unattached managers. We won't spend money for a manager and based on track record and the board's personality I highly doubt we'd go foreign. People like Mark Hughes, Shearer(), Owen Coyle, Alan Curbishley, Roberto Di Matteo, Gordon Strachan... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dokko Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 He won't be here next season, certain of it. Ashley probably wants to show backing and stability to the next manager, and he really is doing that right now. Season is going nowhere and as long as Ashley brings in a few quality players we will stay up. Then he will sack him, allowing a new manager to know he's got time and a good squad to start with. If we keep him and don't sign a CB and a replacement for Ba then it's clear the board are just playing a high stakes game of roulette with our club and eventually house always wins.

toontownman Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 That should be it but I really think if we lose at Norwich, it really will be it. Huge game. I think it will be a draw. They won't sack him though. Regardless of injuries it's down to him to make sure we have a squad great enough to cope with the demands of the season. A good manager can motivate worse players than we have to play better. There is no excuse for today's performance. He can't come out with some bollocks about the sending off either (although he will), we were getting brutalized prior. I have zero faith in our coaching staff right now. Even with injuries we should be playing better with the personnel we have. They make the wrong decisions tactically and they set the team up to fail from the start. It is an absolute disaster right now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Optimistic Nut Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 Aye, the fact Pardew doesn't have much of a bearing on transfers might make it easier to get rid this month. Don't think it would have an affect on incomings. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

nufc4eva Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 How come every manager except Keegan and Robson that we employ are so small minded same as the chairman/owners. No class whatsoever, no plan, no sense. I just can't see the on pitch vision for the club. I can accept the buying policy for players but fuck me there is no direction on the pitch and we can't even do basics well (Pass, Positioning, Throw Ins), I have never watched a team in last few years have such little idea with Set Pieces, Throw Ins, open play as we appear to.

Beren Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 Find it rather unbelievably the media aren't shit-stirring/speculating over him being sacked.
