Who would you go for?

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.

 

For sure. I just can't wait till Carver goes. I would be very happy with McClaren.

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.

[Hanshithispantz]

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.

[Kimbo]

To wait for 6 months and risk relegation for Steve McClaren would be one of the most stupid decisions I've witnessed at the club.

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.

I'm not even going to think about it and put it down as press speculation. Not worth getting wound up about something which could turn out to be complete bollocks.

For me, the biggest disappointment with Carver is that the whole "hope we lose" thing just fucking continues. That was supposed to be the greatest thing about Pardshit leaving, but now we can't even get that. I'm still over the moon about having got rid of the cunt, don't get me wrong, but this has put such a damper on it. If we get McLaren in the summer, I'll be underwhelmed, but he'll have my full support without a doubt.

I'll be pulling for us to win, as I have since Pardew left. Despite the doomsayers banging on, there's absolutely nothing to suggest that Carver is the long-term solution. And I don't believe a few token wins would be enough to convince them to keep him around.

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.

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.

[beardsleymagic]

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.

5th place, slimy as fuck and cockney which meant the national press refused to criticise him no matter what.

  Indeed. If the manager can continually finish midtable he'll stay

No matter how bad the Football is yes, relegation no.  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.

Sadly yeah they will, then again Pardew couldn't even do that but still managed to survive, the fucker was some kind of extra slimy version of teflon.

Pardew wasn't backed by the board this year because of that fifth placed finish.

 

No, but he was backed by some moron fans who refused to turn against him because he finished 5th once.

That's the only crumb of confidence I have in us staying in the division under Charver. But when will their tipping point come ? When we are in the bottom three or if we are hovering above it with games running out.

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.

So easier than Pardew then, who was allowed to finish 15th.

[ponsaelius]

16th
