TRon Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 The thing to remember is that Charnley/Ashley is never going to get rid of a "Head Coach" under contract here (simply because they are not willing to pay up his contract). Pardew proved that. They will dress it up no end as "having faith in the "Head Coach"" or some shite but it's all about saving money. So no matter how bad the football is, or even relegation imo, the new "Head Coach" will be here for the duration of their contract. This HAS to be the right choice. I'm not confident it will be. And I don't think McClaren is the right choice. Not as bad as some, but still not the right one. Let's just hope Ashley doesn't go handing out any more 8 year contracts then.

Teasy Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 I do think any future manager will be easier to remove than he was. He had an air of invincibility about him after the 5th place finish. Maybe I'm being naive. 5th place, slimy as fuck and cockney which meant the national press refused to criticise him no matter what. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure they'd be stupid enough to leave someone in charge to the point where it becomes a risk, but they won't just sit their and happily drop down a division. They proved they're shit scared of dropping down again when they brought forward transfers last time there was a threat of going down. Also I don't think they'll ever give a coach a 8 year contract again. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We never really saw how the board responded to concerted fan pressure within the ground. I hope you're right that at least part of the reason for fan quiet was that fifth finish. Because otherwise we just have an apathetic fan base happy to survive in the league. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I wouldn't have any confidence in them making the decision to replace someone until its basically their last throw of the dice. Personally think Carver can muddle through assuming the likes of Sissoko go nowhere and he keeps starting reasonably positive line ups (Cabella so far getting a game). Just think player ability will carry us through despite him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skeletor Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 I see it's taken most people absolutely no time at all to take for granted the fact that Alan Pardew is no longer our manager. Honestly man, cheer up ffs, everything from here on is change. Whether it's good or bad, ultimately there will be change. This. Years of "Anyone but Pardew!!! Bruce! JFK! A dog!" and now it's "McClaren??? " Not to mention the fact that McClaren was perfectly acceptable to most just a couple weeks ago. Not the most inspiring, but I don't recall there being much opposition when his name was being bandied about. Pretty much everyone agreed that he'd make a good head coach.

Guest firetotheworks Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 I didn't like, I said he'd be horrible and I stick with that He's a dour man and so is his football. And so he'll get kicked out of town and we'll get someone else. The spell is broken, we can be 'deluded' in the right way again. Kicked out of town in the same way AP was? It's like having a fucking annoying cat that's suddenly hit by a bus. You don't go and buy another one of the same breed. Get a dog or something FFS. It's been explained like, but the difference between Carver and McClaren compared to Pardew is that Carver doesn't and McClaren wouldn't have the strange level of support that Pardew would because they have no PR bullshit to fallback upon, nor a 5th place finish. It wouldn't be accepted and we'd have to change again. The entire point in Pardew having gone is that a spell has been broken, we're no longer in hellish purgatory. Whether we get better or worse from here on in there'll be change for the better eventually imo because we'll either do better/play better, or do the same/worse and it won't be swallowed in the way that it was with Pardew.
