Mole_Toonfan Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 Tbf to Pardew on Charlton they were practically down when he took the job It was the slump after that as well. Left them bottom of the championship. Ah right yeah true Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest tollemache Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 The point about Moyes is a great one and I've said on here before I think we're in for yo-yoing up and down the league for a few years, but that it will probably be worth it. And that the overall trend if we have stability and maintain our current transfer policy will be an upwards one. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ketsbaia Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 If I believed Pardew had anywhere near Moyes' ability, I'd be more patient with him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hughesy Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 If I believed Pardew had anywhere near Moyes' ability, I'd be more patient with him. Did you know at the time that Moyes was as good as he has proved to be or are you talking with the benefit of hindsight? I don't think many, if any, picked Moyes out to be a potential star during the lean years. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest tollemache Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 Gravesen, Yobo and Rooney were forces of nature (having said that, I'm sure I remember some stat about their overall form without Rooney in the side being better) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't see how that has much of a bearing on my point. I don't think we will maintain it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moyes was young when he was appointed, whereas Pardew was far more experienced and had a history of his teams going stale. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 Pardew's really missed a trick by always forfeiting the cups. Win a cup, any cup and he'lll buy himself years with the fans and probably the board too. Does anyone seriously believe that Pardew forfeited the cup? What would be the point?

The minute a manager is struggling, all past achievements go out the window. Ask Arsene. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I do think, we'll take the euros a little more seriously now, considering theres no chance of being back next year- without winning it "winning it " Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hanshithispantz Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 How did he forfeit the cup? He fielded arguably the strongest side he could and sent them out to play the style of football we've played most of the season. Brighton, like every other team we've played away from home this season, were just better. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

When we got relegated I can't remember the club blaming it almost wholly on injuries and a lack of preparation time between matches. A 3rd round replay would have taken place between crucial games against Norwich and Reading, with a 4th round match taking place between Reading and Villa. He wants the time to get players fit, and to focus on stopping those free-scoring sides from playing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
