Ronaldo Posted March 30, 2013 Share Posted March 30, 2013 I do wonder what it would have to take to sack him. God knows, taken from wiki: Pardew win % for us - 38% Hughton win % for us - 56% For goodness sake, man. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hanshithispantz Posted March 30, 2013 Share Posted March 30, 2013 Hughton had a season in the championship like so you cannot really compare. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Interpolic Posted March 30, 2013 Share Posted March 30, 2013 I do wonder what it would have to take to sack him. A clean slate on the injury front? I think he quite likes the injuries, covers his failings and he's always got an excuse. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
David28 Posted March 30, 2013 Share Posted March 30, 2013 he need to be sacked. No he doesn't. He actually got us playing well at times in the last months and we started getting results again. Thing is, he's very focused now on the Europa League and, who can blame him? It's a great chance we have to bring a trophy to SJP finally after all those years. No-one will care if we survive by 1 single point in the league but won the Europa League. Thing also is, that we have two very winnable home games now in a row that should see us getting 6 points and therefore bing absolutely safe. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ste Posted March 30, 2013 Share Posted March 30, 2013 There doesn't seem to be any willingness to change his thinking or the tactics a great deal. He still appears very confident in his own style of play despite what the results show. The team we have are more than capable of being able to play a decent game of football. He just needs to be braver, the fear of losing and the tactics he sends the team out with contribute greatly to the results we get. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He still hasn't addressed the issue of service to whoever our centre forward is on any given day. It's been a problem all season and not one he looks like he knows how to resolve.

The lack of service for Cisse is something I'd totally agree with. Still, to say he should be sacked after losing at the Etihad is over the top. Especially not when you know that he's concentrating on the Euro League and (it seems) on the winnable games in the league. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest palnese Posted March 30, 2013 Share Posted March 30, 2013 We've haven't had a better squad since Bobby's days, but we're yet to produce a good game all season. Incredible. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gallowgate Toon Posted March 30, 2013 Share Posted March 30, 2013 He's properly relying on Sissoko at the minute. Never mind Cisse needing a bit of support, Sissoko needs it more, gets on a decent run and there's only one player within 20 yards of him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hanshithispantz Posted March 30, 2013 Share Posted March 30, 2013 He should rightfully be gone at the end of the season, I have no idea what people think is going to happen if we sack him now though. It's a massive gamble in itself. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
toontownman Posted March 30, 2013 Share Posted March 30, 2013 We are absolutely stuck with this joker. We can hope for sense to prevail and a managerial switch in the summer. But it is never going to happen. Provided we survive, next season will be another mixed bag of results at best. Without the distraction of Europe we might finish top half and pardew will get another year. That is being uber optimistic because the football we have apparently player is fad from premiership or supporter worthy. Some managers mature tactically with time.. The free flowing attractive football Pardews early sides played is a far cry from what we get lumped with. He might be a better and wiser man manager but tactically he has become delusional. We set up to fail everytime and the negative tactics rub off on our players. Every person on that pitch got into football from enjoying playing and watching football. 11 of the players on that pitch today obviously still get to do that everyday. The others have to go against all that is natural to them, in turn they get to look like the cowards their manager is coaching them to be. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

In a season where he had to field 31 different players, which is the most of all in the league - which just shows how bad our injury situation has been throughout the season.

littlelunchbox Posted March 30, 2013 Share Posted March 30, 2013 I'm not even going into his ability or lack of ability. It's just strange that every team we play against including minnows all seem to play good football when we play against them. That tells you everything about his style of management, over cautious, turtle in a shell mentality of football . It's bearable at best when it yields results.
