LRD Posted May 8, 2013 Share Posted May 8, 2013 Would be proud to see him managing Man Utd TBH. Deserves the job imo. Should take Jonas, Shola and Obertan with him too. FYP. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ads Posted May 8, 2013 Share Posted May 8, 2013 I voted No on the poll but I genuinely don’t know what to think to be honest. Ashley is a business man, in business terms you don't get to where he's got if you're a fool. He might not have a footballing brain but he’s not a fool. Pards will surely be amongst the lowest paid managers in the league probably with a heavily incentivised contract, but is it bound to be performance based? 8 year contract or not, to go from a 5th place finish to (hopefully) 17th in one year is appalling, despite Europa League involvement, we played fringe players for the majority of the group stages anway. Plus, the idea of us buying foregin players on the cheap to sell them on at large profits will surely only work if these players are performing, and they’re not under Pardew. I live in hope that he’ll be given the boot at the end of the season and be replaced with a more competent manager. It baffles me why the 433 we played so well with last season is no longer used. Elliot Debuchy Taylor Colo MYM Tiote/Perch Anita Cabaye Ben Arfa Gouffran Cisse That team, in the same system as we used back end of last season would surely destroy QPR. It baffles me that he insists on finding playing time for Jonas and Shola. 60-70 minutes gone and we need a goal, do we bring on a bright young homegrown lad who’s scored for fun in the reserves and U19s for a few years or a slow, lumbering Shola? It's embarrassing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve_69 Posted May 8, 2013 Share Posted May 8, 2013 Are people still seriously discussing whether Ashley would have to pay up the whole contract?! He's one of the UK's shrewdest, most ruthless and most successful businessmen, not a fucking idiot. There is absolutely no chance, not even the slightest thread of a chance that he's left himself open to that possibility. As alluded to up there ^ the contract length was almost certainly put in place to protect us if another team or even England wanted to poach him.

Ketsbaia Posted May 8, 2013 Share Posted May 8, 2013 Whilst he's mates with Llambias and Ashley, I'm getting optimistic that Pardew will go. You don't become a billionnaire by being loyal to mates, you do it by being ruthless. He splashed out in January to stop us being dragged into a relegation battle and look where we are. He'll be pissed off and will have no qualms about sacking him, especially when the players (including Cabaye, his favourite player) have gave up on him. The only question is whether he'll find a replacement on equally low wages, or whether he's willing to pay more to ensure this never happens again.

Skeletor Posted May 8, 2013 Share Posted May 8, 2013 He's already lost the players. The trade mark of his previous reigns is that he ends up pissing off every one within the club. Llambias looked pissed off against Liverpool. Ashley was probably pissed off whilst doing a strip tease in a Las Vegas club. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Llambias looked p*ssed off against Liverpool. Ashley was probably p*ssed off whilst doing a strip tease in a Las Vegas club. Yep, I think there is a collective "letes get this club safe" mentality at the moment but I think he has lost the players. Once the season has finished and we know where we stand, I think he'll be peddled. I think the club need to move him on and show strong leadership here, to send a message out to the fans that they are serious and mean business.

Jack Flash Posted May 8, 2013 Share Posted May 8, 2013 My new theory is that his wages are high this season based on last years success and would therefor result in a big payoff if sacked. However, his wages will drop significantly in the very near future due to how low we're finishing this season and will result in a far smaller payoff. I hope that's why they're waiting to sack him.
