jdckelly Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 off to kip now. Would love to wake up about 9 and hear he's been sacked. Everything is crossed. would say if he was going to be sacked (would be surprised) it would happen on monday Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gallowgate Toon Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 He's not going to convince anyone that he simply told the team to carry on doing what they were, at half time. No subs came out, which presumably means he was giving them all the spiel about how important the result was for us and as a consequence, we couldn't afford to concede in such a game, so we must keep tight. If he cared about scoring goals and being positive, he would have either taken Shola or Jonas off and put Marveaux in their spot. He couldn't even properly admit the Marveaux substitution was wrong, all he said was it 'might' have been the wrong decision. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interpolic Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 Adrian Durham reckons he's on 'much less' than £10k a week. I find that very hard to believe That people listen to Adrian Durham? no he's rather amusing and very good at his job of winding people up Genital warts are more amusing than Adrian Durham.

ExiledGeordie Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 Just seen his bbc interview. So the fans weren't up to the logic of taking Cabaye off................well yeah many didn't realise he was injured..........but the bulk of discontent was for quite frankly ludicrous formations, tactics and other substitutions. Seems the fans response has got hsi back up so it's even less likely that he's prepared to look at himself in the mirror now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

wormy Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 I'm fucking fuming at his constant 'we need more players' spiel, too. How the fuck is that supposed to make a near-full current squad feel? You're effectively telling everyone that the majority of our team that finished 5th last season isn't good enough to keep us out of a relegation battle. So you get these few extra players in, allow them to be surrounded by a load of players who you've helped cause to become downtrodden as fuck. Is he genuinely expecting those new players to lift the spirits of and spur on a whole squad of players? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The way he talks down the squad players/youngsters yet never has a bad word to say about Jonas/Ameobi/Williamson, his so called senior pros, is disgusting.

wormy Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 It's insane. Said it last week but it's the reason the likes of Anita and Marv have looked the most promising. It's why Debuchy is going to look a class above the majority. Because none of them have been 'infected' with Pardew's mindset to the point the rest of the team have.

afar Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 We are stuck with him unfortunately I just can envisage a situation that would see Ashley sack him. He's not going to do it despite all our angst. In fact I think Ashley is so fucking stubborn that the more vocal the fans get the more he'll dig his heals in, he's already proved that he doesn't give a damn what the fans think. That's why I just don't see how we will not be relegated because this man has lost it, lost the players and of course the fans too. Hopelessly out of his depth in a relegation fight as he proved at west ham. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sifu Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 I feel sorry for Pardew in a way. He acquired so much goodwill on the back of last season but he's basically thrown all of that out of the window with his recent "management" skills. I reckon that deep down, he knows he's fucking up big time - he wants to keep this job (which is probably the best one he's had in his career) and I think that for him, that's motivation in itself to persist with his defensive/win 1-0 approach. However it's becoming increasily evident that his tactics are bordering on the cowardly and the negative levels. His overcautious approach is hindering us - he is so afraid of losing this job that a scrappy 1-0 win would actually do for him as it's 3 massive points and it's looking like this approach is rubbing off on the players. Such a mentality does not get you far whatsoever. He's let the fans, the players and ultimately himself down. Time for him to step aside, it really looks as if he's run his course here and will not improve beyond his current level. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopelessly out of his depth in a relegation fight as he proved at west ham. I'm sure Allardyce was sacked when one fan was seen on tele telling him he didn't know what he was doing, today thousands told Pardew the same thing. I live in hope.

JH Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 You will never meet anyone more stubborn than a football manager. I've no doubt he believes he can save us. And that all he needs is a few more Perch's, a Williamson, a Shola up top - to rough, ready and scrape us to safety. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jdckelly Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 16.6% win ratio since signing the new contract. You've got to make connections between the two? bit of a lazy thing to do tbh, the problems began not with Pardew himself starting them but the injuries and lack of adaption to dealing with the europa league on our schedule. What can be pinned on Pardew is the lack of any credible response or solution to these difficulties and indeed making them worse with strange team selections even with more limited resources lately. ATM he just doesn't seem to know how to get the side out of the trouble its in, I honestly don't think he caused most of the initial problems but his reaction to these difficulties leaves a lot to be desired.
